hello Can i access dns manager on your control panel? or can i host my domain on your name sevrer? dns manager on control panel works up_the_irons, toddf: are cpu's shared or is the cpu my vps is using allocated just to my vps? when my sites get busy, obviously cpu usage goes up, and i don't want to "hog" the cpu or have it negatively affect the performance of anyone else's vps shared otherwise, the vps / host ratio would be quite low (unprofitable :) okay, which makes me wonder if you could get graphs (rrd) of how much cpu i'm using compared to others on the same cpu oh, yeah. duh. i do have those graphs :) <3 munin i've been having lots of "duh" moments lately. i blame it on the medication. i dunno, on some boxes you can now get like 16 cores 1 core per vps, that might work but too expensive for me well, i didn't hear from you when i was running freebsd and rebuilding the world so i'll assume that nginx isn't doing much damage either you should make those graphs available when you're feeling motivated and not busy =) up_the_irons: ping up_the_irons: what is the name of the software you use, for serial/ipkvm access to our vps's? conserver atleast that's what it acts like. ahh, good stuff. thanks. I wanna play with building it in a home lab. no worries. been meaning to do some more with vmware. esxi to be specific. we're a bare metal shop right now. yeah, we're all esxi at work. found out that esxi is now their commercial offering, while the free stuff is "vsphere hypervisor". tad confusing since esxi was previously their free offering esxi and "vsphere hypervisor" are the same thing, aside from licensing. fair enough I'm working towards a redhat certification. redhat has KVM.. so I figure I may as well get familiar. (even though I think vmware is a better move, for the wallet. more money in vmware consulting than in KVM consulting.. since vmware is everywhere) it's good stuff. run it here for some dev. under debian though, found it easier to get everything i wanted there than deal with centos crap. it's hard to get a RH certification with debian. but I hear ya ;) /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ what? www.palmerit.net/result.png hate :( I'm a 15 year BSD admin. so my "unix stuff" is spot on. the only places I'm weak are the linux-centric things.. LVM, iptables, SELinux, etc yay fellow bsd user wish i could keep more bsd boxes at $work. have a few... but most have been replaced with linux and yes. since most vps providers don't support !linux. it's nice to have. in the process of moving my personal colo to a openbsd vps. save $50/month, get better performance, pretty awesome. my work uses RHEL and CentOS, hence my redhat cert studies. but I have to admit.. *If* i have to use linux.. RHEL is growing on me. i've been a debian user since '97 but i quite like rhel yeah, it's growing on me. I'm getting to like it. I bought the Jang book, for RHEL6. going to study up on KVM, LVM, iptables, and SELinux. then I'ma shoot for the RHCSA exam ($400) after that, I'll review everything in the book.. and get more knowledge on the linux specific stuff. then go back for the RHCE. rhcsa? is that a lower level cert than rhce? is rhct still around? n/m *googles* rhct is replaced by rhcsa rhcsa is a pre-req for rhce now
