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...

Re: Can NFO use "anycast" to help with attacks or performance?

We currently have a service in beta (for supported games) that proxies traffic, like the (mislabeled) "anycast" option elsewhere, and serves the answers to server queries directly from the closest location. This was made possible by capacity upgrades that we made at all locations in 2024. ...

Connecting to SSH without using a password

To connect to the terminal of a Linux machine remotely through SSH without entering a password, you can create a set of cryptographic keys. If you'd like to access a Linux server from a Windows client using a key in PuTTY, you can do it with these steps: Download puttygen.exe from the PuTTYgen websi...

Re: Securely sync VDS FastDL files with web server

Where did you put the key? On the webhosting, you'd need to create a ".ssh" folder and then put an "authorized_keys" file in it that has the public key as output by the client that you will be using (with Linux, likely the standard ssh client, and you would have created it with a...

Re: How to disable php warnings

Warnings can also be turned on within the script. If you can't find an .htaccess file with the modification, check the scripts themselves for for ini_set() lines related to display_errors and for error_reporting() calls, which can modify the defaults.

Re: NameServer

I'm not sure which name servers you're referring to, because name servers shouldn't need to be set inside our control panel -- they're set at the registrar for the domain name, and should point to us. Please do open that support request so that we can understand better and look at what you're seeing.

Re: Chicago (Proxied)

theRadAleks, not much of a chance, no. The nature of the proxying means that we need to track the exact game servers being run, on which IPs and ports, and have extra daemons at each location that handle the queries. That isn't readily compatible with unmanaged services.

Re: Backup VPS to home server

You could not. You'd need to use an unmanaged VDS or unmanaged dedicated server for generic storage/backups.
