We've launched our Personal VPN service as a standalone product, with a temporary 25% off sale!

Check it out here: https://www.nfoservers.com/order-vpn.php There are many advantages over using an ordinary shared VPN, such as that: It's truly personal -- no other users share the same VPN or have access to your unencrypted data. There's no logging (and you can even personally audit that, because...

Re: THANKS A TONNNN

We have descriptions for them that you can see if you select the template from the menu. The AI one is kind of fun to play with. The AI and VPN ones come with their own control panel pages. The AI page doesn't have much, but the VPN one has some useful controls. We don't have a way for customers to ...

Re: Suggestions thread?

We're happy to take a look at any templates that customers come up with and consider them for the overall list! If there are a lot of them, we might make it so that they can be flagged as shareable, and a code can be entered into the form to use someone else's, or something along those lines. That s...

VDS templates beta

We've created a new template system for VDSes, allowing systems to be configured through a script as part of a wipe! We have a few default templates, including a much-requested personal VPN setup (providing a preconfigured VPN with WireGuard/OpenVPN and a control panel page for setting up forwards a...

Example install template: SSH key

To kick things off, here is a very basic example install template. It just installs an SSH key, including by modifying the sshd configuration to turn on rsa support if the provided key is rsa (which is a deprecated type but still acceptable). Template name : Debian 13 (stock) with SSH key Descriptio...

Re: template on os install/reinstall

If you select one of the options from the drop-down, it will show a description that gives you a little more information. For the AI chatbot template, it installs Open WebUI and Ollama, yes. It sets up a username and password, sets up a secure subdomain with TLS, etc. You can also create your own te...

Re: Performance difference between bare metal and virtual server

It's difficult to say exactly how the cores would compare because it depends so much on the workload (both from your VDS and other customers on the machine). Sometimes 8 VDS cores will end up being 8 physical cores of a beefy CPU and sometimes they will be four physical cores that are split into 8 v...

Re: Performance difference between bare metal and virtual server

Usually, virtual cores on a VDS will end up being mapped to the same physical CPU because Xen tries to keep them on the same NUMA node for performance reasons (that allows it to execute them on different cores without completely emptying the cache, for instance). In most cases, this does help, thoug...

Re: Sale on dedicated machines and VDSes!

In Chicago, InterNAP never had its own datacenters and only resold space, so we can't really compare to them directly. (They used multiple partners for this, including Level3 and Equinix.) But, in terms of comparing the space that was resold to us from Equinix versus the new facility, the new one is...

Re: Sale on dedicated machines and VDSes!

For a little background on the move, - We first started renting out services in Chicago in 2005. We leased space from another company briefly, then full cabinets from InterNAP* at their "CHI" PoP, which was at a Level3** datacenter. - In 2010, we moved our cabinets from the Level3 datacent...

Re: New Autoinstallers/more control panel features

For initial setup of VDSes? Yes, we've been working on this, both in terms of customer-provided scripts and our own provided scripts. Anything that uses extra disk space is more expensive to do (backups/duplicate images/etc). Not impossible, of course, but customers have not been very open to higher...
