What do you use for TLS certificates? · VPS Hosting

Has anyone tried step-ca for internal certificates? Not for Let's Encrypt but for a private CA. Different use case I know, but related to the automation discussion.

Poll: what's your actual DDoS filtering setup? · Networking

I used to run on-prem appliance. A10 Thunder. Bought it used for cheap, ran it two years, sold it for more. The hardware was fine but the licensing was a nightmare. Every feature was a separate subscription. "Oh you want SSL inspection? That is another $4K/year." Never again.

Yearly prepay is gambling on provider survival · VPS Hosting

hadeszcs said:
Age of provider is the real variable

This. I yearly with GreenCloudVPS because they are 10+ years. I monthly with CloudCone because they are younger and only in LA, single DC risk.

Age + DC count + AS ownership = my trust formula. Billing cycle is downstream of that.
