WordPress with a full page caching plugin (eg. WP Super Cache) gives you most of the advantages of something DB-driven, plus many of the advantages of a static site. When a page is cached, it's served directly via the web server, without hitting any…

Mine is https://d.sb/ but the design is close to 15 years old now. It looked modern at the time, but it's definitely looking dated now. The projects page is very outdated.

(Quote) Google likely colo some servers in the same data center. In reality, you're really not going to notice the difference between 1ms and 21ms. The difference is only slightly longer than the time taken to render a single frame at 60fps (~16.66…

(Quote) I posted a YABS here: https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/74102#Comment_74102 and a Monster Bench with Asia speed test results here: https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/74108#Comment_74108 I'm getting rid of it, bu…

(Quote) The limits are far higher for HDDs, at least comparing non-enterprise HDDs to non-enterprise SSDs (keeping in mind this is a low-end forum where not everyone runs enterprise disks). HDDs tend to last longer than the specs suggest. I used to …

I use Borgbackup on all my servers. On my Windows PCs, all the important stuff is in either Seafile or Dropbox, or is just open-source on my GitHub, so I don't actually have any backup software on the Windows PC. I've been meaning to look into it. …

Black Friday flash sale: Hostodo $199/year dedicated server (Quote) # ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## Yet-Another-Bench-Script ## v2021-10-09 ## https://github.c…

(Quote) I suspect IPv4 will eventually drive prices up year over year, if it's not already doing that. So I guess I mean the same-ish prices as now, if IPv4 ends up causing them to increase. It's also possible they have some free space on some serve…
-
(Quote) Thanks for commenting here! I definitely understand what you're talking about with regards to hardware prices. Do you think you'll ever offer IPv6-only plans? IPv4 addresses are getting more expensive and I'd be happy with an IPv6-only VPS …
-
They only had three coupons available for that price (this was a flash sale; their 'standard' Black Friday price for that system is $299/year), and I got one of them! I'm never that lucky, haha

(Quote) Thanks for the offer. I just impulse purchased a dedicated server from Hostodo for $199/year: (Quote)

(Quote) Right now I'm paying US$12/month (~£107/year) for 4 cores (Ryzen 5950x), 8 GB RAM and 500 GB NVMe with Wishosting, and my only problem with it is that it's in France and OVH's routing to me isn't the greatest. Was hoping to find something fo…
-
(Quote) Yes :) What would you be able to do?
-
(Quote) It works pretty well. I'm using the performance tracking features which I think is what's taking all the DB space. I'm using Docker via the instructions here: https://develop.sentry.dev/self-hosted/ (Quote) I'm ideally looking for something…
-
(Quote) 200GB is too small unfortunately :( I've got a Prometheus instance with ~80GB data and a Sentry instance with ~100GB data, on two separate systems at the moment (one regular SSD, one NVMe SSD) and I want to move them onto a single VPS with r…
-
Has anyone seen any offers for 8+ GB RAM and 300+ GB SSD/NVMe? I've got that $12/m one from Wishosting that I posted a benchmark of elsewhere in this forum maybe a month ago, but it's in France, and ideally I'd like something on or near the US west …
-
(Quote) cloud. is their new one but AFAIK they haven't migrated existing VPSes over yet. Their older one is built on top of SolusVM whereas the new one is completely standalone. (Quote) Their offers are good, they're just not insane like last year.…

HDD would be best for this use case. I don't think an SSD (including an NVMe SSD) is appropriate for this task as flash memory degrades the more you write to it. If you want to use SSDs, check the TBW ("terabytes written") rating. This me…

Any plans to have similar services in the USA? I like the Black Friday pricing but I'd prefer something in the USA.

Cloudcone just posted some deals: https://hello.cloudcone.com/2021-black-friday-mega-sale-vps/ Starting at $8.79/year for 1GB RAM, 35GB disk (RAID10, SSD cached), 4TB monthly transfer, all the way to $79.40/year for 8GB RAM, 280GB disk, 8TB monthly …

(Quote) The issue with self-hosted is that I need to monitor all my VPSes, including the one that's hosting the monitoring app... Otherwise how would I determine that the monitoring system itself is down? Haha I used to use UptimeRobot's and Hetrix…
-
(Quote) I've been using Better Uptime for a while (since their last lifetime offer) and their service is really good. I'd recommend it! They've added newer features like DNS and SMTP monitoring, and they have "heartbeat" monitoring for cro…

(Quote) iptables is legacy :tongue: we should migrate to nftables eventually! iptables will eventually be deleted, like ipchains before it.

I've got a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro in my PC and it's very fast, but the Samsung Evos are good too. (Quote) A lot of newer motherboards come with a heatsink. I've got an "ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming" and it came with a heatsink for both m.2 s…

@chimichurri The Wishosting deal is back ($11.99/month for 4 Ryzen 5950x cores, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB NVMe): https://www.wishosting.com/order/main/packages/VPS/?group_id=7 Edit: Never mind, already out of stock :cry:
-
(Quote) Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks for the info.
-
(Quote) They do have the "normal" version (2 cores, 8GB RAM, 200GB NVMe for $10/month) if that interests you. It's in their main VPS offers: https://www.wishosting.com/order/main/packages/VPS/?group_id=2. The sale one has +2 cores and +300…

(Quote) Interesting site! It's similar to what I'm doing with https://dnstools.ws/ but with more probes.

(Quote) I posted about the installer not booting on the other forum, and someone mentioned an incompatibility with Ryzen and Linux 5.10. https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/174556/segfaults-when-booting-debian-11-installer I had to install and boot i…

(Quote) If I want to move my VPS from Romania to Norway, can you match the price I was paying? It's an NVMe VPS.
-
and swap shouldn't actually be that slow on NVMe drives. (Quote) A week or so ago, Wishosting had a sale VPS with the opposite issue: 32GB RAM but only 100GB HDD (SSD-cached) storage. I nearly ordered that one since it was in Los Angeles which work…
-
(Quote) Yeah it was tempting me for a day or two, so I thought I'd try it out. 500 GB NVMe is really good for the price! I wish it had more RAM though. The 'regular' (non "Deal of the day": "KVM SSD NVMe") one is $10/month for 2…

(Quote) Sure. Here's the specs again for reference (from the YABS thread): (Quote) Region: Asia https://bench.monster v.1.5.7 2021-10-06 Usage : curl -LsO bench.monster/speedtest.sh; bash speedtest.sh -Asia---------------------------------------…

(Quote) GB5 score increased after upgrading from Debian 10 (4.19 kernel) to Debian 11 with backported 5.14 kernel (the standard 5.10 kernel it comes with was causing kernel panics on boot). Apparently Linux 5.11 had some performance improvements for…

(Quote) Yeah... The ideal design is for the website itself to be built on top of the same API, which automatically means that all features on the site are also accessible through the API. Some of these older forum systems have coupled the business l…

(Quote) why do you just have 64MB of swap? lol
