Re: Is there any way to get a better CPU on a VPS?

Code: Select all

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 0 @ 2.90GHz
Is that the one you're talking about, the fastest one?

Re: Is there any way to get a better CPU on a VPS?

Really? I didn't know that. Must be a software issue on my end then.

I'm on the Seattle center, so I have whatever they have.

Is there any way to get a better CPU on a VPS?

I've received enough donations for my server for me to consider upgrading. However the only viable upgrade I can think of is a faster CPU. I've got enough RAM and enough storage space, the CPU would be the bottleneck at this point. I have the dual-core plan but we all know Minecraft is mostly single...

Re: VDS Down 3'rd day out of 4 due to DDOS?

If you are here at NFO you have some of the best protection I have seen available anywhere. You cannot buy a $5 tool to DDOS NFO servers. With automatic attack filtering, and location capacity up to 20Gbps in some locations, you either need to make your own botnet, or pay a premium to attack a NFO ...

Re: VDS Down 3'rd day out of 4 due to DDOS?

I was about to make a new thread but then I saw this. You guys do know there are various websites that launch DDoS attacks for like $5 a pop, right? When I first heard of it I thought it was a joke, but then I got hit personally. As in, someone got a hold of my IP and blasted the crap out of my conn...

Have prices changed or is there a glitch in the order page?

So I checked the order page today to see if there are any new toys I can buy for my VPS. I didn't see anything new but I noticed the price for the exact specs as my current VPS has gone down by $17. I couldn't figure out what I missed so I clicked Checkout to see a list of changes, and to my surpris...

Do we have DDoS protection?

First of all, I don't care about DDoS protection because as far as I know it costs hundreds of dollars. I'm just having trouble with my Minecraft server not being properly queried at Minecraft Forums' server list. Check it out: http://servers.minecraftforum.net/servers/59293-scandic-survival-fresh-m...

3-core vs 4-core plans: how does CPU speed compare?

I bought the 4-core plan to run a Minecraft server. Since Minecraft is mostly single-core and I don't really run anything else on my VPS, I've been thinking about downgrading to the 3-core plan and getting an extra gig of RAM. I'd end up paying the same price, but I'll be giving up a core I don't ne...

Re: Is there a way to enable swap space in a VPS?

I don't recommend using swap very much because it kills performance and also affects the performance of other customers. But, you can use that existing pre-created swapfile by just entering: swapon /swap.img For some reason CentOS doesn't seem to need swap; I used Slackware before and it always wro...

Is there a way to enable swap space in a VPS?

I'm afraid one of these days Minecraft/Bukkit/some plugin will come up with a new memory leak and my server will start crashing all the time because Java runs out of memory. I've seen it happen before but when I hosted at home I had a swap partition to back me up. Is there a way to enable swap space...

Re: HELP! Cannot access VPS after upgrade from 3-core plan t

When something is assigned to me, I handle it as soon as I am available. I answered you in the request already, but since you've posted here, I'll repeat the information in this format. In your case, the problem wasn't due to the VDS upgrade, but due to software on the VDS (so it was actually somet...

HELP! Cannot access VPS after upgrade from 3-core plan to 4-

I've upgraded my package from the 3-core plan to the 4-core plan today. The process took only a few minutes, but after it was done I was not able to connect via SSH or VPN. The machine does not respond to ping either. I contacted the help desk and two people replied to me - the second person said th...
