Poll: would you take a 30% discount for no IPMI at all? · Dedicated Servers

113 days and this still hits.

RAJ said:
4.2 hours break-even sounds optimistic for most providers

Real talk: that 4.2 assumes you catch the incident fast. My last stuck grub sat there for six hours before monitoring even yelled. IPMI lets you *see* the POST, not just guess from outside.

My provider experience: six hosts in twelve months · General Discussion

Perhaps your methodology for pain rating may benefit from inclusion of support response time as a weighted factor. Let us consider that OVHcloud at six hours of downtime with resolution may, in certain respects, demonstrate superior operational character to InterServer's zero downtime yet eleven tic...

Why I stopped offering email hosting entirely · Web Hosting

I do apologise for the length of what follows.

I operated a small hosting reseller operation for seven years. In the beginning, email was simply included; it was expected. However, the burden of reputation management has become unsustainable. Let me describe three incidents from this year alone.

Mini-guide: Reading between the lines of budget host ToS · Reviews

It is my humble opinion that perhaps we ought to discuss a matter which has troubled me considerably. I must apologise for any inconvenience my observation may cause.

I have made test orders with three providers advertising themselves as "hébergeur français indépendant." Each charged 30% above list...

NAT VPS in 2026 — actually usable or still a toy? · VPS Hosting

OVHcloud KVM confirmed, good. Their API for port rules is flaky though, had to wrap it in retry logic.

@tallinnying your script is horrifying. 847 rules? Just flush before append:

iptables -t nat -F PREROUTING
# then your curl | jq | sh

Or better, output to a file and diff it befor...

Contabo's 89-day uptime vs my 4-year sourdough starter · Off Topic

I must confess I do not understand why one would tolerate such a provider. In Osaka I use Sakura Internet for my personal VPS. It is not the cheapest. It is however predictable. The control panel has not changed in six years. I find this comforting.

Your starter sounds more predictable still. I bel...
