Help: Proxmox cluster randomly fences nodes · Dedicated Servers

Before you replace infrastructure, review your OVHcloud ToS — I think they have something about acceptable use of dedicated switch ports. Some colocation agreements define customer-provided network equipment as "unmanaged attachment" voiding SLA credits.

From memory, standard Hostinger BMC terms re...

I named my servers after exes and regretted it · General Discussion

Check your provider TOS section on "acceptable naming conventions." Most hosts reserve right to rename or suspend for offensive strings. I think Contabo's terms have something about names that may embarrass the provider in support correspondence. You are not just risking your own reputation. Also, i...

Backup strategy for 10 cheap VPS spread across 5 continents? · VPS Hosting

nerdbann said:
The TOS angle from @torontofields worries me though.
To be clear, I am not saying you cannot back up your own data. I am saying "backup server as a service for third parties" is a different TOS bucket than "I back up my own ten boxes." Contabo section 7.3 targets scraping and...

Backup strategy for 10 cheap VPS spread across 5 continents? · VPS Hosting

Before you centralize, check your TOS. Contabo section 7.3 prohibits "automated data collection or aggregation services" on their standard VPS tier. I think OVHcloud's acceptable use policy has something about backup storage nodes needing a storage VPS with different terms.

Not legal advice, but "b...

Consolidation worry = OVHcloud panel dead for anyone else? · Web Hosting

At what point does "investigating" become "we broke it and went home"?

Legally? Never. Practically? About four hours ago.

Hetzner Storage Box is fine for backups. Section 6.2 limits you to 10 concurrent connections, so don't point rclone at it with default settings. Learn...

Protect my book

Not legal advice, but section 7.3 of most hosting TOS defines "acceptable use" broadly enough to terminate for "business necessity" without refund. Check if your provider's TOS references "affiliate entities" without definition; that corporate shell game matters w...

Looking for provider that allows custom ISO upload · VPS Hosting

Before you upload anything, check OVHcloud's TOS — I think they have something about unusual operating systems in there. Their acceptable use policy, from memory, defines supported configurations pretty narrowly, and while custom ISO is technically permitted, they reserve the right to terminate for...

My dog learned the UPS beep means dad's angry · Off Topic

You may want to review your local animal welfare ordinances section 12.4 regarding "domestic nuisance noise"

Re: UPS tones, I think Contabo's ToS has something about acceptable use of audible alerts in residential deployments — from memory they consider "excessive" as exceeding 85dB for more...
