Bump

I'm tired of hosting a small website (among other things) on my home server. How do I get into VPS and shit? There's like public and private cloud servers and all kinds of confusing nonsense.

I just want a server with Linux on which I can configure to my liking (as well as a static IP).

Digital Ocean is nice.

Post your website senpai.

>>59722461
what pfsense box you running? how much you pay and whats the power draw? quite a lot use that j1900 cpu, good enough for gigabit i presume?

>>59723946
Never. It's way too embarrassing. I hardly even know why the fuck I'm hosting it. Perhaps just for novelty.

>>59723982
Well it would be easier to suggest a hosting service if you give the details my dude. This is a judging free zone safe space.

>>59722255
Man they butchered that song.

Also, a terabit isn't a lot.

>>59723914
I personally use ramnode

>how much you pay and whats the power draw?
comcast is $140/mo, had to shell out extra to keep unmetered going
power bill for just the rack is $60/mo

whole rack draws about 300-400w depending on what's running
the core networking (modem+switch+pfsense) I don't have a good reading on, last time I checked I had both rackservers plugged in and off, it was 100w
>quite a lot use that j1900 cpu, good enough for gigabit i presume?
It's good enough for SOHO, it could probably do gigabit just fine but I'd rather have 2 dedicated intel NIC's

I plan on upgrading the system a lot more, but it works well enough for now

>>59724012
It's basically just a blog and wiki.

>>59724118
$5/mo vps is more than enough for that

>>59724067
>ramnode
What's the difference between OpenVZ and KVM? What do you use?

>>59724118
>>59723982
I agree post blog. Is it /g/ related?

openvs is for linux only
kvm can do windows
I don't know why you'd want a windows vps but you can get one

only reason I'm paying this much is because iredmail wants 1GB RAM

>>59724220
you say that like its a bad thing

>>59724309
I don't know much about VM's, I don't mess with them often

>>59724248
Cheapest option seems to be KVM. I probably don't need much more than that. Maybe more storage at some point, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

>>59724309
Is that bad?

Ok, no server for me yet, but I'm slowly collecting items to go in my (yet to be purchased) rack. Currently I have a third hand APC UPS (su3000rmxl3u) with an extended battery bank and ap9617 network management card (6u total height [3u main ups and 3 for the extra 2 carts of batteries]).

This brings me to my question. The network managing interface is on who knows what ip range and mask, so I need to log in over the serial terminal. Hyper terminal for some reason doesn't connect properly (no login is ever displayed), and so I am asking what program /hsg/ uses for serial terminals. The only pic I still have with a serial com port is running x32XP (and I need it to stay xp [I guess I could run a live os]) with 512Mb of ram, so it needs to work on that

I swear I'll never try to fight grapvhiz again. It's a goddamn nightmare to get it to draw something accurate.

Windows Server lab, pfsense, storagetc spaces, sftp, plex, tixaxi, JDownloader, IIS Webserver, reverse proxy, etc, etc

Is the Western Digital MyCloud a meme NAS? Am I correct in understanding that I would be able to use it as a Plex server?

>tfw shitty upload speed and my plex server runs like ass remotely

You think a Poweredge R710 is too much for a Plex server?

Thinking about buying three of them, one for plex, homelab server, and the other for a file server but I think its a bit much for a plex serer?

>>59725206
As far as the ram goes, Plex doesn't use much so it'd be a waste in that aspect

>>59725206
Just buy one, and call it a day.

>>59725206
1 r710 is enough for all that

This. Lets talk serial. I picked up a cheap ch340 serial to USB adapter, but it seems to be unrecognized as a tty device in ubuntu 16.04/4.4.0-66-generic and seems to selectively ignore commands I send to my modem in Windows; i.e. can't get an echo in a putty window. Any recommendations on decent usb-serial converters for less than $20 USD?

>>59726082
I just got it because I wanted enterprise grade hardware that's easy to use
