I'm looking for people to share a dedicated server in the Netherlands with. Split 8 ways, you'd get a VPS with 512mb ram, gigabit uplink, and a tonne of traffic for about €13/mo. This works out (significantly) cheaper than linode, slicehost, prgmr and bitfolk. Check out the thread about it in YOSPOS if you're interested!

optikalus posted:That is a great way to share the costs, but just make sure you leave some RAM for the dom0 and adjust the cron.daily entries so that all the domUs don't try to logrotate at the exact same time. This will *destroy* your single SATA drive and basically make the server unusable at 4AM. Thanks for the advice

Spamtron7000 posted:I'm afraid that if I just pop a file up on some host and tell our partner company to link to it that it might violate some ToS because most of the webhosts expect you to host your entire site with them. Am I overthinking this? This is only a problem with free hosts. I've never seen this as a condition on proper hosting; it seems absurd. Spamtron7000 posted:Either way, would someone mind telling me some things to consider when looking for a host to just stream a single file over and over again? Maximum data transer per month, and the connection speed.

I'm also a customer of theirs. Fantastic for the price but be aware that as a high bandwidth host who bill per month with no setup fee, they have a habit of attracting a certain kind of person (like OVH and Hetzner do/did). For VPSs, I liked bitfolk (based in the UK) but they're no longer the cheapest people around unfortunately.

adorai posted:The real question here is, will I look like too much of a fly by night rear end in a top hat to even get started? Not if you target the right people (other fly by night assholes). Joking aside, I offer the same kind of deal as you're planning on doing and was able to get lots of interest off the back of my forums reputation alone. With work, it's fairly easy to make this kind of business sustainable. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of people looking for cheap VPSs (just keep an eye on what people are doing - e.g. I offer uncapped bandwidth which has a habit of attracting trouble). I suspect the problems arise when you need to hire extra staff.

GregNorc posted:No one I've looked at except for Nearly Free Speech actually states that, and if they don't state it in the TOS then theoretically if the government asks for the data, they are within their rights to turn it over. So I'm looking for places that explicitly state they do not turn over material without a warrant. try prq.se - they don't offer VPSs but have a web+mail package for 16usd/month I used to have a web-only package with them and it was good (in terms deflecting legal threats)

Move her email onto google apps. Set it up to import (and delete) new email via pop3 from her old server. Then go onto her old email and mark all the messages as unread and wait for them to move (might take a while but works perfectly)

lord funk posted:So Made2Own has poo poo itself, and was bought by another company. My site has been down for a month, and the new guys say they are working to get the "data salvaged and accounts migrated to new systems." Decide on a new host first. Some of the made-for-idiots ones will actually help you out with this stuff. Look back a couple of pages, there are some guys shilling like mad, check them out 1. You shouldn't have to transfer your domain at all. It should be with a separate company already. If it is, just change the DNS to point to your new host (they will be able to tell you the new info). If not (i.e. if your domain is registered through made2own ), then transferring it to somewhere like namecheap is your first job. Do not transfer your domain to your new host. 2. w/e doesn't make a diff 3. ask them nicely. If they refuse, gently caress them. Do a cc/bank chargeback

Quodio Stotes posted:I know the guy asking questions about hosting doesnt seem like someone prone to make it big online, but trust me I'm not shooting that high and the things I want my application to do are all simple things that are done elsewhere all the time (however as of yet they have not been combined in the fashion I am thinking of). Secondly the "App" part of the site is half of it, the other half would be informative text, pictures, and links (this half is also important however). And trust me I am spitballing all this right now I haven't made any moves past a registering a domain. Just asking for some friendly advice is all. Help a brother out. The static half doesn't require any special kind of hosting. All types of host support this kind of thing. The dynamic half requires a host that supports server-side scripting of some description. This needn't be anything fancy; you can find dead cheap shared hosting that supports e.g. PHP+MySQL. (Look back a couple of pages, some dude keeps advertising his company, that one will do) It's really hard to give you any better suggestions than this without you having a clear idea how you plan to actually implement it.

Note that hetzner do that stupid thing with bandwidth that OVH doquote:We will permanently restrict the connection speed to 10 MBit/s if more than 5,000 GB/month are used (the basis for calculation is for outgoing traffic only. Incoming and internal traffic is not calculated). 100 MBit/s speed can be optionally restored by committing to pay 6,90 € (incl. VAT) per additional TB used.

Bob Morales posted:Unmetered, guaranteed 100mbs isn't cheap. That's like 30TB/month running all-out. Yes, absolutely true. However this seems like something of a false dichotomy - can you actually get guaranteed 100mbit from hetzner even with this clause? It seems to be a moneymaking exercise rather than a way of improving their bandwidth. The choice with budget servers seems to be between "non-guaranteed shared bandwidth" and "non-guaranteed shared bandwidth with a stupid throttling policy on top". Bob Morales posted:Many providers will give you a '100mbs' connection that will only run up to 20/40mbs, or force you to share it with others. Yeah you can sometimes get lucky though - e.g. root.lu are quite good in my experience (lovely hardware though)
