au: hello! are there any vps slots available? up_the_irons: au: yes
but i have pre-orders to do
new server is almost ready
the pre-orders go first au: ah, a friend of mine is after vps for an ssh tunnel for wow (less latency) which requires a vps in la. just checking if you had any slots at the moment
thanks for letting me know :) up_the_irons: au: yeah shouldn't be a problem
au: how does the ssh tunnel reduce latency though? i mean he's still playing from his localhost... au: ah we're located in Australia and the server is in la, it's much less latency from home -> arp -> wow. in tracert, there's much more hops+latency up_the_irons: au: ah OK au: would you be able to do a tracert for me and pastebin it? up_the_irons: au: sure
au: i also want to see your traceroute to me :) au: okay, one moment up_the_irons: i'm envisioning a whole new market... "Reduce WoW latency, get a VPS!" ;) au: 12.129.225.103 is the wow server ip
uh sec my wireless modem has tracert blocked
have to hop onto main network, brb up_the_irons: ok au: http://pastebin.com/jb3cYbZV up_the_irons: telstra and reach, interesting
au: you want me to traceroute back to you? au: for wow server and back, please :) up_the_irons: au: http://pastebin.com/dU18CR6s au: can you please ping mdf001c7613r0003-gig-10-1.lax1.attens.net a few times for me?
sorry for this heh up_the_irons: au: no problem -- http://pastebin.com/081a82ac au: very good!
thanks very much :) up_the_irons: au: np!
i'm rockin' the < 3ms pings au: when could I expect for a vps to be provisioned? up_the_irons: au: within 24 hours au: okay great, I will order after dinner up_the_irons: au: great! au: done ***: ziyourenxiang has joined #arpnetworks

are vps available or is their a waiting queue at the moment? ***: sdf has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) amdprophet: aem: i think there's a bit of a waiting queue but i don't think it's that long
tyour best bet is to ask up_the_irons
your * aem: thanks amdprophet: np
aem: if there is a wait, it's worth it bob^^: yeah, definitely worth the wait :) amdprophet: my company is renting two right now and they're both great, we came from vpslink which was a pretty bad experience from the start
faster servers, better pricing, better support, more customization
much more redundant too, we had so many outages with vpslink because their network would go down or power would go out -: fink loves his zfs freebsd vps bob^^: oooh, zfs on vps is a good idea
whenever i've played with zfs on freebsd i've ended up killing hardware ;/ amdprophet: i'm using zfs on one of our freebsd vps too
bob^^: weird, although the psu did go in my freebsd zfs fileserver... but that was due to the moisture in the air bob^^: i'm sure it was just co-incidence :) amdprophet: yea bob^^: first time i applied it on top of a hardware raid card (raidz) and i lost/killed two disks
the controller wouldn't talk to them anymore fink: bob^^: cosmic rays?? bob^^: hah :D
you never know :) amdprophet: wait, you can do hardware raid z? bob^^: no - was using a dell 2850 with perc controller
had to set it up with each disk as it's own 'array'
and then applied raidz over the top of that
pull out a disk, push it back in, disk gets rejected forevermore :) amdprophet: ouch bob^^: tbh i think it's more to do with the perc controller
they can be, um, 'sensitive' :)
shame they can't export each drive natively to the OS :( amdprophet: :( ***: mike-burns has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

my vps has been great btw, had it two months now, no issues at all :D RandalSchwartz: ditto
4 months for me
2 months for insightcruises fink: i've sent out over 2billion spam emails in the past 2 weeks, with no slowdown
arpnetworks rocks! mike-burns: Ha. bob^^: :D coil_: no issues in 9 months here RandalSchwartz: don't be tainting my address spaces! ***: vtoms has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) up_the_irons: woremacx: your hostname is a setting within your VPS. change it as you please.
aem: if there is no big yellow "NOTICE" box on the order page, then there is no waiting queue besides the normal 24 hours ***: schmir has joined #arpnetworks
