Hi Do you offer cloud hosting? if you define cloud arpnetworks are the cloud It's likely that Arpnetworks is not cloud hosting. It's unlike Amazon EC2 or EY's thing. it depends on what you define as cloud if you want to pull the useless definition out of your butt, then arp is cloud like linode or digitalocean are cloud but not ec2 or anything as far as i can tlel there isn't really an official definition, just "whatever i guess" so it's pretty much down to what you want: automatic healing? multiple datacentre physical redundancy? api? hourly/utility billing some use 'the cloud' to simply mean 'virtual servers' .. its an overly vague term used differently by so many @google the cloud 517,000,000 total results returned for 'the cloud', here's 3 Cloud computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing) Cloud computing, or the cloud, is a colloquial expression used to describe a variety of different types of computing concepts that involve a large number of ...

(and /g is implied, courtesy of PHP's PCRE implementation) but why didn't my regex work above? because the only instance of CLOUD was in something BryceBot said, and BryceBot "doesn't regex itself." I did a regex on y own words s/ y /my/ see? nothing oh that, probably due to the g. Or BryceBot is overloaded. Patience - BryceBot is still on Chunkhost, and its VM loadavg was last seen in the 20s s/overloaded/ignoring me/ Over 50 now... good god what a shitty VPS provider s/overloaded/amazingly agile to keep enough cpu cycles to stay online/ And now uptime isn't even responding/running I did a regex onmyown words lol oh that, probably due to the g. Or BryceBot is ignoring me. oh that, probably due to the g. Or BryceBot is amazingly agile to keep enough cpu cycles to stay online. toddf: hint: BryceBot runs through an IRC bouncer, so you should never see it go offline :P @weather chunkhost Error, No cities match your search query @google chunkhost quality 0 total results returned for '', here's 0 heh ^ more overloading, without a nice error no worries just playin .. toys malfunctioning .. moving on .. ;-) yo. up_the_irons anything we can help with? or are you just impatient for a service request? :) I'm impatient for a service request... but I'm sure up_the_irons will get to it soon :-P yeah - pinging him here rarely speeds that up but if it's something we can help with, we're willing. generally, working with arp means you are willing to wait 24-72 hours for requests, but the trade for that is you're paying far cheaper overhead. RandalSchwartz: yep, I feel no need to pay for a 24hr NOC when I have a serial console :) I've been a happy customer for close to 5 years made me curious -- only 2011-04 here RandalSchwartz: lol i'm playing internet video games wahts up oh was just wondering if up_the_irons might possibly help look at what i might need in terms of hardware i know its fully unmanaged and all that, but just firguirng out what kind of hw to do moving some stuff off AWS potentially hazardous: depends on what you're needing really, he does do arp metal, and was talking about a 72gb mem system for $200/mo the other day RandalSchwartz: i think 72 hrs is a bit much ;) My protocol these days is to clear all tickets daily, so 24 hours is the max turnaround. i may slip on Fri / Sat nights, but usually even then, i don't like the queue building, so I try to keep on it hazardous: you want a few dedi's to create your own private cloud service, compatible with AWS APIs, to get the best of both worlds, eh? ;) that is becoming more and more common hazardous: if you emailed me, i don't see it
