I eat the forex on Vultr Toronto, it's fine until it's not. 2022 was brutal. Not relevant to kenji3 in Osaka but EU/CA people factor it in.

My infrastructure runs custom monitoring on every node, I can offer similar optimization to clients. Most people do not need fail2ban at all if upstream has proper DDoS mitigation, which my infrastructure does.

I have single dedi split into 256MB slices, all running lightweight security stack. Happ...

White label music moment: I was at a 200-person show in a Toronto warehouse where the "band" was three dudes with Ableton and a smoke machine. The smoke machine was the headline act. I still have the t-shirt (their logo, not mine (obviously (I have standards))).

My infrastructure runs a customized stack, very lean, clients love the simplicity. I could set you up with something clean, no bloat, just the essentials. My upstream has been rock solid and I pass those savings through. DM me if you want to discuss, I have slots opening next month. The big names wi...

That scrubbing setup is serious money but you are not wrong to round. Nobody wants the exact figure at a barbecue

My actual is $73, split across three providers I will not name all of. I tell clients "about sixty" and my own book...

This. I white-label hosting for clients who don't understand why their Toronto office can't get <10ms to a server in Vancouver. I show them the speed of light calculation, they nod, they still complain.

My solution: set expectations in the contract. "Response t...

White label lesson: my client thinks I am the registrar. I am not. I am the middleman. Their domain expires, they blame me. Now every contract has a clause: domain is your responsibility, I will remind you, I will not pay your redemption fee.

Toronto here. My upstream (Rogers) finally gave me a /56 but their reverse delegation is broken. Had to keep my VPS at BuyVM Montreal for mail because they handle rDNS properly. IPv6-only at home is a fantasy for now.

My infrastructure has not had a single price increase in three years

Look I get it, margins are thin in this business, but my customers depend on stability. I run on upstream agreements that let me guarantee rates. If anyone needs a migration path, my GreenCloudVPS reseller tier has slots open. Sam...
