@root said: Simpler solution: If customer has 2FA enabled, then allow email editing.

That will not stop the following:

A buys a service, blatantly violates the TOS. We give the fella a friendly nudge—"Hey, cut that shit out, or the service gets suspended." Fella decides to behave… but since they can’t do the "thing" they wanted anymore, they just hand off the account to Fella B.

The above is something we played for 3 months, then we just disabled the email field to not be editable.

Some of these changes might not sit well with everyone, but as I mentioned here on LES, starting from zero and growing slowly gave us a valuable learning curve. Every measure we’ve implemented came out of necessity—to keep the 80%+ happy and running smoothly, while letting the 20% find another place to do "their thing."

Thank you for the explanation. I have no idea how to solve these kind of abuses. You could be right, I don't know.

Neither did we at first, some providers did gave us a heads up " hey host-c, that is not a good idea ", they were right, and I thank them.

In the end, if we let abusers or other into the network, that would just mess with the nice folks who play by the rules.
This translates to being disrespectful towards them as we cannot provide a good service ( I hardly doubt that hosting anything in any way works, you have a ton of examples here and on OGF ), and if we do not respect our customers, what does that say about us?

Nah just going to reinstall tell Stu he is out of luck on this one lol. Also testing out NJ for MicrNode probably end of next week will add it.

We know. You have a datacenter there too. We all love that ecological datacenter of yours which needs no cooling and reduces costs on electricity.

PS: I also like the one from the dark side of the moon, away from sun's heat.

@yoursunny - can we colocate??? all this only, I will underline only here, if we have ISDN

Maybe they no longer have that aluminium cabling.

Yes, plenty of spaces at South Pole Colocation facility, but no remote hands.

From the to-do list we are going to cut one off ( finally )

2 - auto backup / snapshot on storage VPS - ( root, )

These are being implemented right now for backup

Eligible products that come with at least 1 backup slot have auto-backup set at provisioning..

Backups are at an off-site location and not in the Oradea Datacenter.

3 - auto allocate a /64 IPV6 at provision/reinstall not via ticket. - ( Shot² )
This was also done like a few moths ago

What would be the frequency of that task? Daily/weekly/monthly/only-at-install? I did not saw anything about that besides the "on/off" button available on the root disk in the panel. To restore, is it via ticket? The root diks restore won't "format" the storage diks, nah? Thanks!

Is the iso mount/custom install fix already done / in the roadmap?

I am not asking this to know when I can b0rk my root diks repartitioning it and asking for the restore

Cheers,

Was there a change made to backups for the pioneer servers? Mine used to have backups in the control panel menu for the boot drive but doesn't anymore, I think maybe you mentioned something a few months ago but can't find it

AuroraZero · March 4

7 doll hairs no more!!! Except diks need moar!!!! Diks

host_c · March 5

Frequencie is set to 1 / week on Saturday midnight. This can be edited by the user anytime or changed.

Restore works from user panel. uou can even access individual files from the backup.

This option as I said, it is available only on products that have Backup Available for all drives, as restoring only the Boot Drive is not possible for the moment, it is a limitation of Proxmox, as restore is basically deleting the VPS then redoing it from the backup. If you do not have backup on all drives, restore will be done without those and you will loos the data.

This is the reason we took backup out of products that had it active only on the boot drive as it was unusable in that configuration.

For products that have it on all drives, it works as expected.

This should also been fixed as of today.

We did not see any issues regarding power tasks done by users.

Thanks! I've gone and mounted the ubuntu server iso and changed boot order (ouch! this REBOOTS the VM, beware!) to convert my ext4 root diks to btrfs as wanted, and it worked like a charm.

Just this move already solved my diks space needs for now, as I have gained 2GB in diks free. Sometime in the future I may try to reinstall it just because I don't have backups

Happy to her that this solved 1 issue at least.

We will implement Revolut Payment Gateway, most probably on Monday, and we will also add Euro Currency next week.

host_c · March 10

Hy there fellas,

Credit/Debit Card payment via Revolut Gateway and Revolut PAY added, this should make things easier for a few.

Euro as currency is the next on the list for this week.

I will keep you posted as soon as we add that too.

Cheers!

Regarding the internal LAN

I will accept a max of 5 Beta Alpha testers as of now, well, tomorrow, but enrollment starts now.

Rules of engagement:

1 - Must have a minimum of 2 services with HOST-C ( regardelss if it is IPv4, IPv6, IPv9, IPTV )
2 - LAN will be via IPV4, for the moment we will assign you the IP's for the LAN to set up, you might change this in the future, but don't ask me when, as for the moment we have other stuff to worry about
2 - LAN traffic might be interrupted as we are still messing this shit around, so no crying here or wining or.... you get my idea
3 - traffic will not be metered, but if I see 89876468768TB in 1 DAY, I will cut you down to 1 MBPS - in other words, no abuse, at least not for the moment

Speed will be limited to 1 GBPS for LAN

If you think you have nothing better to do with your time and are bored of porn / other, then DM me and I will take it from there.

Cheers!!

host_c · March 10

Update:

Med's aren't helping, so I forgot

LAN is via a separate ETH card, this is the setup it will be in final version also, as I do not wish to mess around with existing config you all have, plus this is the way it should be, it is LAN/private not wan/public interface.

So you do not need to modify anything, we will just add a second NIC to your services for LAN.

Is there a separate VLAN per customer, or is it a shared VLAN across all customers?
If it's the latter, you can advertise this as an Internet Exchange Point.

Just ran my first yabs on NFS incredible performance, maybe a bit throttled by port speed though

VLAN/customer, I would not mix customer traffic as that is... a bad idea

@chengzi said: Just ran my first yabs on NFS incredible performance, maybe a bit throttled by port speed though

it has a 100 MB/sec limit, for the moment, again Alpha test

Also, we wish to see if the LAN traffic get's recorded in total VPS traffic, it should not, but we will see.

host_c · March 13

OK update on the LAN interface stuff,

You guessed it, traffic is added to total VPS traffic, so for the moment we stopped the enrollment on this so we do not mess with your VPS Traffic / MO, it would not be fair .

Fix is in works, as soon as we manage to get it to work, I will continue the tests with the rest of who wished to join.

I will keep you posted on this one.
