mnathani: you have to set up some custom rules mnathani: it's been too long, i forgot how i got them in there ;) mnathani: i believe it is somewhere in the cacti faq or blog holy shit i cannot even describe how angry i am right now breathe deep :P yea i just lost about $90 for no good reason janky dedi provider never again rough yup o well had that happen before, but never that much i was about to punch a freaking hole in my wall well, it's not exactly lost i mean, i still get to keep the service but im not really using it to it's capacity the services im running could easily be hosted on a vps all because of their stupid autopayment system i should have seen it coming so these guys are smart ? no manual way to remove payments it takes days to get tickets through but you can autoadd payment sources which can be automatically drawn from instantly complete bullshit backing up my data so fast i can't stand this host anymore do anybody knows a free dns server that offer a free ns1.mydomain.tdl ? i already own a domain is that too much to ask? dzup zoneedit will let you do it for free for 3 or 5 domains.. can't remember but i can not name my own brandable dns server, i have to use ns1.zoneedit.tdl etc (for free) ? i read same with afraid, freedns, but no ns1, ns2,etc like ... ns1.my-own-domain.tdl hmm, i do my domains that way with tinydns, but i have multiple locations to host on and just scp the file well actually i have a.ns.domain.name dzup: well, if you want the luxury of branded NS server, would it be the end of the world to pay a few dollar for it? just got the VPS access this morning, thanks a ton. if/when I want to do a clean install, do I have to bug you guys to do it, or is there a way I can do it without bothering you? miststlkr: If you want your VPS to be reinstalled to the Arpnetworks template, you will have to support. In case you have already had support@ feed your VPS the right .iso there is the option of yourself doing a reinstall using VNC. http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/vps/can-you-reset-by-vps-back-to-factory-defaults http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/vps/re-install-or-change-os andol: thanks for the links. they may want to keep the iso handy for me... fairly new at this and I'm sure I'll be clearing the slate once or twice in the process :P miststlkr: No problem. Learning is good :) andol; learning is 80% of the fun. if we want FTP access to our VPS, do we install our on FTP server or is that already set up for us? the former... though I'd strongly recommend using sftp or something, unless you *have* to have ftp thanks CaZe: what was that site you get your beans from? i seem to remember it having roasting info as well sweetmarias k pwd derp
