stupid fucking cat got tangled up in the cord and unplugged my box... time to start again....
Cool.  The serial console thing is a handy feature.
up_the_irons: any news on the new server(s) for vps? :o)
I need to go ahead and pre-order
mattx86: building it tomorrow night
just got the RAID controller today
so i'm all set to build
up_the_irons: awesome :)
i want to get everything ready for customers by monday
which will be two days ahead of schedule, so cool
nice
hm.. one quick question, it'd be no problem if I ordered the $20/mo special with an available linux distro, and then have you guys pop in an ISO for another distro, would it?
I'll be wanting Alpine Linux on it
mattx86: no problem
up_the_irons: nice, thanks :)
just put a wget'able link in the order comments
reckon I should just wait until monday or later?
yeah it won't really make a difference
oh ok
up_the_irons may i msg you please?
dbgi: you can try, i don't guarantee i'll reply right now :)
ok heh :)
up_the_irons is this the correct email for support? support@arpnetworks.com
dbgi: yeah
k thank you
ok new email was sent now, hope you get it this time
up_the_irons: hm.. are there any plans for hosted dns service for vps customers?
mattx86: there's plans for a reverse dns manager, but not hosted dns.  i figure enough registrars have their own dns managers one can use
mattx86: dns.he.net :)
up_the_irons: true, but usually only for ipv4, unless you know of a registrar I could switch to :P
^^ :)
I'm in the process of moving some of my stuff there.
Though having a few issues, mostly it's A+.
mattx86: yeah, dns.he.net just launched and a lot of people are moving there
mhoran: yeah, but if you're monitoring #ipv6, you'd know I'm worried about he.net eventually turning off their dns service, possibly w/o warning
i c
Ah. Well, I'm only using them as backup anyway.
Since, if my primary DNS server is down, all my stuff is down. :)
All I've ever wanted is someone to slave my DNS, on the opposite coast of my servers.
I want to run BIND (or whatever) -- but I don't want to run two BIND servers. And pay for running two BIND servers.
mhoran: yeah, that's what I'm considering doing; host my primary, and let someone else host the secondary
So, what he.net offers is good for me now. I used ZoneEdit before, but their stuff is changing.
cool, broquea has quelled my fears of using he.net's dns service
mattx86: what did he say?
up_the_irons: basically that it will stay free and there are no talks of charging for it (at least at the moment)
i c
up_the_irons: also that if anything changes, they will give their users a heads up, either by email or the forums (or a combination perhaps)
mattx86: Cool!
yep :)
so I'll be switching my domains over pretty soon
does support send an email reply back after the support prob is done? anyone know?
dbgi: yes, you should get a reply
thanks up_the_irons, not trying to bug, just wasent sure, 1st time i think ive had to email support
dbgi: np
up_the_irons i know you are outa vpses to sell right now, but if like i wanted to, i could upgrade my vps still couldent i?
dbgi: depends what server you're on.  maybe yes, maybe no
ok
depends if it has available resources
just wondering, thanks
np
