I had same on OVHcloud last year, server down for 2 days than they admit custom kernel module

My fix was switch to TCP, un...

My "I was there" is less music, more infrastructure. 2015, moved a server from Frankfurt to Istanbul on a ferry. The server was playing a playlist the whole crossing. Does that count? The ferry had worse uptime than the server. Contabo would have been cheaper than the ferry ticket, but where's the c...

24 days and still going

Contabo or Contabo? You wrote both in different posts, curious which one is real

I have three, all at OVHcloud. One mail, one web, one that runs nothing but a monitoring stack for the other two. Overkill...

I moved a client from Frankfurt to Istanbul last month. Same provider, same "backbone SLA," actual latency doubled because they started routing via Bucharest. Ticket answer: "network optimization in progress." Three weeks now. No optimization, no SLA credit.

The only SLA that matters is the one you...

I had same email from RackNerd this morning than I checked my other accounts and all of them have same price jump

"Lifetime" defined as lifetime of promotional period in their new Terms page than they updated last week without notice

I use GRE for VXLAN underlay than switch to WireGuard for management plane

OVHcloud Gravelines, 2x E5-2650v4, spec 300W, measured 360W idle. The spec is "typical config" which means one disk and no PCIe. I have 8 disks and 10GbE. Of course it is higher.

I moved these from Frankfurt to Gravelines last year, same machines, same measured draw. The building AC matters more th...

I moved from Hetzner to Contabo to Hetzner again. The price is hard to beat for EU traffic. My Istanbul users see 65ms to Falkenstein, 110ms to Ashburn. Location matters more than price for latency.

153 days late but did anyone ever get RackNerd to actually respond to a ticket before the dispute stage

I have a June invoice sitting here that looks identical to Hel's double charge and I would rather not play ban roulette if there is a working escalation path

Contabo at least has a billing email...

This actually good idea than I make same for my Contabo server. Server down for 5 minute than script reboot. I add sms with Twilio api, cost 0.0075 per message. No need fancy dashboard if phone ring. One thing: your script check only http? What about disk full, what about oom killer. Than you...
