At first SSH eas denying the password I set via the panel.
Tried Serial console, then checked ifconfig it was empty. (Except for loopback interface)
Reconfigured networking in panel.
Now SSH won't even let me enter my username. Serial console doesn't work also.

EDIT:
The reason I found out that networking wasn't configured is when I tried to ping my other server it said "unknown host". check resolv.conf it has correct dns servers. check ifconfig it has no venet interface.
What's weird is when I tried to connect to the IP, it connected (Before I reconfigured the networking). Which makes it seems that the IP assigned to my VPS is used by another VPS.

Hey there,
My name is Connor, some in the MyBB community may recognize my name from being one of the designers when Codicio.us was a prominent premium mybb skin provider several years ago (run by Jordan) I'm responsible for the premium theme Lights, I have such sold 100% selling rights to Jordan http://community.mybb.com/thread-116475....ght=Connor. I'm back in the community to offer my design and coding abilities. I'm no longer up to par with my MyBB abilities but I can easily brush back up and provide such services. I'm mostly a designer now a days but my coding ability is still relevant. 

I don't overcharge and can provide quality. Check out my twitter for my latest designs and such, I post commissions daily and average 5-10 clients a week.

I/O (2nd run)   : 380 MB/s
I/O (3rd run)   : 403 MB/s
Average I/O     : 341 MB/s

As the log shows, you get a share of an Intel Xeon E7-4850. Which is an - somewhat old - but still quite reasonable CPU at a clockspeed of 2.00 Ghz with 10 cores and 20 threads.
Though, your VPS only gets a share of: 5 CPU cores at about 400 Mhz (358.866 to be exact), which is not a really high amount, but it should be okay for most light use-cases. The download speeds are actually really low, even close to the server the speeds are not getting higher than 10MB/s. I'll talk more about the network later, after my Speedtest.net results.

Well, it might be clear that the network Perry's VPS uses is Fibernetics/ KW Datacentre, the same shitty network as CloudAtCost uses. There surely is work to be done!!

I/O Speed
Code:
Disk Speed
----------
I/O (1st run)   : 240 MB/s
I/O (2nd run)   : 380 MB/s
I/O (3rd run)   : 403 MB/s
Average I/O     : 341 MB/s
Well, although at first I thought those speeds were fake, but Perry also did the same command at the main server, so it can't be faked by OpenVZ, and surprisingly the speeds were really close, so I guess these are what kind of I/O you should expect from these VPSes.

Control Panel

The VPS Perry is providing comes with the OpenVZ Web Panel. An open-source, but quite good and handy panel to manage your VPS.

This is what the interface of OWP looks like:
[Image: promo.png]

Well, since I don't want, and I am not going to, say a bad word about OWP, this is pretty much it about the CP.

Suggestions

- Fix the up- and downlinks.
- Allocate a higher core frequency to the VPSes. Edit: see post #2 down below


Final Ratings
The VPS is not bad, but it's definately also not one of the best ones. There surely is some work to be done, as I said.

Well, since I rated my DO VPS with 9/10, the GHP VPS with 8/10, I have to rate this one with 6/10. It's not really bad, but it's worse than the servers I named before.
Final Rating 6/10


Special thanks to TrK, since I used his review as a "template" for mine and to Perry (Perryoo11) for giving me the opportunity to test the VPSes before they'll become available to the rest of Post4VPS.

Before i start telling, the methodology to configure, prosody server, i will give  a brief introduction of what is it exactly.

Prosody is a server, which facilitates instant messenger. Its like Facebook messenger. 

Now the big question is why would you set up your own personal messenger? I would say only one reason: Privacy


If you wish to communicate with your friend with highest possible security then XMPP Messenger service is the best. Who uses it? Communication between whistle blowers.

The advantage of having your own XMPP server is that, you are 100% assured that your messages aren't stored along with connection secured with SSL.

Not only this on using an appropriate client like Adium or ChatSecure, you can have OTR (Off the Record) Encryption, which gives you an additional layer of security. So, you have Transport Layer Security and on top of it OTR Encryption, which is another form of End to End Encryption. So you are having 100% peace of mind.

Setting up a prosody server is pretty easy, usually takes at a maximum of 10 mins.


This tutorial is suited for debian and ubuntu systems.

------------------------------------------------------Installation-------------------------------------------------------

First as usual give update packages

Code:
sudo apt-get update

Then install the prosody package

Code:
sudo apt-get install prosody

Confirm the installation of the packages.

Now we need to configure our XMPP Server Installation.


----------------------------------------------Configuration---------------------------------------------------

considering your VPS is associated with domain name  "domain.xyz" and your domain points to your VPS on which prosody is setup.

Lets first make our first user for ourself, which in turn will also be the administrator of the XMPP server.

Code:
prosodyctl adduser [email protected]

Now, it will ask for password prompt. Setup the password for your user and reconfirm it.


Now we need to configure our prosody installation.

Code:
nano /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua


After opening this file find the line with admins as shown below and make it look like as shown below
Code:
admins = { "[email protected]" }

Then if you want to allow your friends to join without you approving them, then enable the line below
Code:
allow_registration = true;

Then add the line below to the config file to make your server more stable
Code:
use_libevent = true;

Then find the directive VirtualHost, if you are using a latest version of prosody, then on scrolling down the configuration file you will see a directive as shown below
Code:
VirtualHost "example.com"

Change it to
Code:
VirtualHost "domain.xyz"

Below it you might find another line
Code:
enabled = false
Just delete the above line.

Now save the configuration file and exit.

Now restart the prosody server by giving
Code:
service prosody restart

--------------------------------------Optional Portion-------------------------------------------------

If you wish to setup validated certificate files along with prosody then find the lines below in your prosody.cfg.lua file

Code:
ssl = {
       key = "/etc/prosody/certs/localhost.key";
       certificate = "/etc/prosody/certs/localhost.cert";
}

Update the paths with your certificate file and private key. Then again restart the server after giving a restart as shown above.
Warning, you will need to set appropriate certificate and key permissions for the user prosody or else you will get errors


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, just choose any favourite jabber/XMPP client. Just enter your username as [email protected] and and enter your password. It will get connected instantly.

I hope this tutorial has helped you. If you face any problems, feel free to put in your doubts below.

All users must have experienced those Connection timeout pages while loading the forum in some past days..
actually we too were surprised when we got to know from the webhost provider that all databases were deleted unexpectedly, and on top of that they don't had any recent backup(they only had last week's backup which you can see now..) which made them more insecure..
We have currently hosted the forum in a temporary vps until we find a nice webhost or a vps which do have some backup facility more brutal than our earlier provider.

so changes which where made from 15th-22nd are not here..
Sorry for users who had posted there posts in between those dates, you need to do those posts again Undecided
yea i know its a bit difficult but nothing can be done, but from now on we will try to implement some backup system from our side...

and now everything should be fine..

Hi guys,
I wonder what you guys do with the free VPS'es you get from sites like Post4VPS, FreeVPS, FreeDomain, etc..
Of course you may also mention the usages of servers which are paid/ not from above sites. It would be nice if you'd also give the specs of the specific server.
To kick off:
I don't have any free VPS in use currently. I do have a droplet ("server") at DigitalOcean, which I use to host a variety of sites/ projects.
Regards,
Rick

Hi there,
My cousin will soon replace his R9 270. I wonder whether my PSU will deliver enough power to power that GPU.
My current build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600
Mobo: Gigabyte B150M-D3H
Memory: 4x 4GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4
PSU: Corsair VS550
Extra devices: 2x 3.5" hdds, 1x 2.5" ssd.
Will that 550W be enough to power both those GPUs?
Thanks in advance,
Rick

So i got some free time to create that, i thought its a good idea to play with little PHP and MyBB, i created a MyBB forum stats image from php.

Demo:
[Image: signstats.php]

Source code:
https://github.com/DarkPowerInvader/MyBBstatssign

I don't know how anyone can use that but still thats fun to share your forum stats on on other forum as advertisement.
