Things you should know:
Keep in mind, the stock system has changed, a placed request is not longer reserved from the stock anymore.
The Service is provided with no SLA , but we try out best to keep everything running smoothly.
Support will be provided over Hostballs PM or via email if needed.
No Backups are done on our side, You are responsible for taking backups of your data.
There is no term guarantee, but the project is very soon 1 year old.
In addition, the project is covered by several sponsors.
Canada has been delivered yesterday, networking is already configured.
Since we have only a /64 each VM gets a /80 via static configuration.
I may try DHCPv6 later, but currently that should be good enough.
You will get the information displayed, when your VM is deployed, which Subnet you got allocated, so you can set it up.
Memory or Disks upgrades are available, depending on what you need and what is still available. First, I will open only 10 slots, later more if we still have enough resources, which is likely.
Keep in mind, that the Machine will expire at 5th of November 2019, if we do not get it extended.
What sort of guarantee do we have for service if there is no abuse?
No offense, but you seem to get bored and just give up on shit pretty often. This has to be one of your longer projects (remember the CDN last August)?
There is no guarantee, not even a commercial provider can you give such guarantee.
They may give you an uptime guarantee but thats it, we saw already commercial providers getting kicked out, there is no big difference besides we are not doing it commercial.
If the abuse is significant enough, the location is likely gone.
The CDN was just an experiment, I did 3 different versions of it.
I told them public, to get information how it does perform, but thats it.
Just for my personal usage and as I did not turn out, It was also not turned off, it ran for more months until I killed it. If something does not work out, you turn it off or you rework it, with the ideas to improve it.
Which I did 2 times, before I started using BunnyCDN.
Look, NanoKVM is not longer an experiment, I talked to a few sponsors the recent weeks, its not getting dropped anytime soon. You can see even, people making copies of the projects I do, thats good.
Well, if you say so. I only used one of your other projects as an example of your, er, lack of follow through, shall we say? I’m not personally invested in anything you do, since I don’t expect it to be there a week later.
I did explained you that on LET, where you got banned from.
But I do not understand it, when you go around and asking it everytime.
If you create something or want to create something, because of an idea, that should fullfil a specific purpose. At some point, its defeated, or fullfilled, or something unexpected comes across.
Also, keep in mind, not everything you see on LET or Hostballs, are all of my projects.
And yes, Gordon is still an asshole.
Purpose: Used as IMCP Ping
I wrote a ping tool through php, and I implemented imcpping through sock
But I found that the virtual host was not working properly (because sock required root privileges)
So I changed my approach and connected to a server via phpseclib for ping.
When I was looking for low-cost vps, someone recommended nanokvm to me, so I tried to apply for it.
