I'd like to ask linode.com customers if they're happy with their service.

Are the VPSes fast? Are there I/O problems? Bandwidth? etc.

Any Providers That Allow Torrents?

Dec 9, 2008

Are there any quite cheap Dedicated Server providers that allow torrents on their servers? I'm not talking here about ub3r h4x0r torrents with games and such.

But it could happen since I want to sell Shell accounts for torrent download/upload, so the company policy towards that should not be anything like a reactivation fee, rather a notice so I can take care of the problem ASAP.

Linode, Slicehost

Jul 15, 2008

I am wondering what the difference between Linode and Slicehost is they both seem pretty solid (However linode's real monthly billing is more appealing.)

Also when someone has a VPS (the cheapest (256mb ram...)) Do you find it easy to run your own Sql server and Memcached while running a webserver?

I am after companies who will have vps plans with cpanel/whm operating servers out of Freemont. Is there anyone that is able to point me in the right direction.

Apparently freemont to melbourne australia is the best way to setup a serious hosting account.

Some Info On Slicehost/Linode

May 7, 2009

I have a Magentocommerce shoping cart presently hosted on a dedicated server (2.40GHz , 28 KB Cache celeron processor - 512 MB RAM) and the processor is running on full steam when customer accesses certain pages. This is because the shopping cart is processor intensive. I see that my MYSQL hogs the processor and am looking to VPS to provide me with more power for less cost.

I have slicehost and Linode on my list of VPS providers.

1.Linode offer only RAID-1 against Slichost's RAID-10. Does this matter that much? How do I decide on this?

2. From what I see, on VPS, a 256 MB plan would mean around 40 sites sharing the quad core processor which means, I would get worst case, 250MHz guaranteed from VPS provider. Will this still be better than my present celeron processor. I am unable to compare them.

3. I would like to hire someone reliable to get the VPS server installed with basic LAMP setup and extensions required for Magento. Will someone be able to help me on this? Where do I look for such a service?

4 Month Review: Linode.com

Apr 28, 2008

Here is my review on Linode. I have been using them for 4 months now. I was referred to them by a friend and I will try to cover the most important areas.

They provide UML VPSes and Xen-based VPSes. My VPS is Xen-based. I use it for:

-Small IRC Server
-Personal file/web hosting
-SFTP/Shell access for myself and friends
-Experiments and installs

Linode.com

Time Used: 4 Months

Setup:
The setup was very quick. I ordered and payed and within a couple hours I was able to login. Their system is very cool because upon your first login you build your VPS from absolute scratch. You decide first off which of their 3 datacenters you would like it in, and also your OS choice and configure your swap space and everything.

Service and Network:
These areas are very strong with linode. I chose their Dallas location in ThePlanet's datacenter. The network speeds are very fast. Pings are very quick, downloads max out, and many connections can be opened at once without anything noticeably slowing down. The host server I am on is a quad xeon 2Ghz and I'm not completely sure how much RAM it has but I know it is somewhere between 8-12GB. My pages and files always load quickly and the server load averages are never higher than normal. Their linode control panel is very nice since it was made in-house. It provides many customization options and things to play around with. Complete with CPU and network usage graphs as well as and area to start, stop, reboot, boot from another OS image, or reinstall your VPS, their control panel is probably the best I have used out of the 10+ VPS hosts I have experienced. Overall I would say they do a good job in this area.

Billing:
Pretty good for the most part, auto-charges my credit card for each month's payment so I don't have to deal much with billing. No complaints.

Support:
I haven't had much of a need for their support but I have opened a few tickets for various things. The replies are fairly quick usually within a half hour and many times quicker. The linodes are unmanaged, however, so they are basically there to help out with questions concerning setup or issues on their end. I needed help adding my additional IP and they gave me a few suggestions that put me on my way. Very nice and helpful and pretty good for an unmanaged host. I have used many unamanaged VPS hosts that act annoyed when you send them support emails or simply ignore them. Linode takes things seriously and is very sincere in there approach from what I have experienced.

Overall/Final Look:
Overall, I am very satisfied with Linode. They have met and surpassed my needs and expectations as a customer and I would not rather be hosted by anyone else. They are very professional and have a nice setup for provisioning new clients and maintaining their systems. Notifications of scheduled maintenance are always sent out to affected clients, so there are no huge surprises. I would recommend them to anyone and for the money, it's a pretty good deal. I hope you or anyone else may consider them if looking for a VPS provider in the future.

Slicehost Vs Linode.com - A Comparitive Review

Sep 4, 2008

A friend and I both recently purchased VPS "slices" for various reasons. I joined linode.com and he joined slicehost, agreeing that we'd share opinions and experiences with each other to see which one was the better deal.

Up front, slicehost gives a better first impression - but that's subjective - so we were at first both inclined to buy from them. That's when we learned about linode through WHT.

We both got a low-end slice - he got the 256MB slice from slicehost, I got the 360MB slice from linode.

After about 2 months of service with both companies, I can definitely say that they've lived up to both their reputations. We haven't experienced any downtimes from either of them, performance has never felt sluggish (although the extra ram from linode certainly helps!), and support has been quick to respond from both companies.

I think the thing about our particular situation, though, is that we're both very familiar with linux systems, so apart from the initial set up phase where we wanted to make sure we got the right distro (CentOS 5 users here), we haven't heavily used either administrative web apps. Most of our access after day 1 has been ssh to our machines to install various components, mostly ruby, rails, mysql, rubygems, apache, and the rest of the web app stack.

For our situation, both these companies met expectations, and I give them a thumbs up to potential customers that are on the fence for whatever reason. That said, I'm giving the slight edge to linode, because you're getting basically the same service but with more RAM at the same price.

How Much Resources It Would Take To Seed 1000 - 2000 Torrents?

Apr 12, 2008

Would anyone have an idea how much resources it would take to seed 1000 - 2000 torrents ?

The bandwidth is not the problem, i am mostly concerned with what kind of box i should get. should i concentrate more on ram or more on cpu or do i need both?
