RackNerd vs KnownHost: my accidental 6-month A/B test · Reviews

rick68 said:
KnownHost managed includes daily snapshots

Correct. Their managed VPS line is actually managed. RackNerd is unmanaged with a control panel. Different product categories pretending to be the same price point.

If you know how to snapshot and rsync yourself, the gap narrows. But...

Checks hashes

Hey folks, super stoked for you lee! Gonna steal this idea tbh.

I ran my own backups for years at InterServer, messed up the cron syntax once and emailed myself 400 copies of the same file. Admitted it to the team, fixed the script in like ten minutes. Automat...

RackNerd vs KnownHost: my accidental 6-month A/B test · Reviews

Average. I opened 4 tickets with KnownHost in 6 months.

That is a real sample. Thank you.

I sell both brands to clients who find them. RackNerd tickets average 6-8 hours in my experience. KnownHost usually under 45 min for managed VPS. The gap is real but the price gap used...

Who is the most underrated provider you have actually used? · General Discussion

Hey folks gonna jump in here

I have been with InterServer for years so I am biased as hell but they try to be the underrated ones on purpose. Super stoked when I see renewals instead of churn. They messed up a network migration in March, took 40 minutes, posted full timeline same day. Lost some hyp...

If a code fails, check your timezone.

Hetzner's shared plans sometimes exclude domain fees from the threshold. I feel you on the confusion — their checkout splits it weirdly.

InterServer cancelled my VPS without notice — ticket #88213 · VPS Hosting

Hey folks, marcus from InterServer here

Gonna be real with you: this is 100% on us. We had a billing automation bug that cross-wired account statuses and termination flags. Super not stoked about it

IPMI fan curves that don't sound like jets · Dedicated Servers

IDRAC 7 here, guessing the racadm command is similar to 8?

Same command. T320 might not let you go below 20% though, those chassis have worse airflow than the R series. I had a T320 in Montreal summer, had to leave the side panel off. Not proud.

@catgarden ASRock Rack IPMI...

diegoracks said:
I tried racadm but I am not sure the command

Racadm set system.thermalsettings.Minimum fan speed 15

That is percent, not RPM. IDRAC 8 bottoms at 15% in most firmware. If your firmware is old it might reject below 20%. I learned this the hard way on a client's T630 in Mont...
