Hello experts,
                    I hope everything is fine and you will be doing all well. As we know PUBG Mobile is rising as a worldwide best multiplayer game.I don't know if people do sell/buy accounts outside the Pakistan. But here in Pakistan people are doing it. I have found a lot of people dealing for accounts on there WhatsApp. I have decided to try out making a website where people do buy/sell their PUBGM accounts. So, i don't know whether it will work or not. I am going to use WordPress for this. I don't know if WordPress is good for it. So i am just asking here about thoughts on WordPress. Is WordPress good for trade ?

Please note the following VPS Holders still have missing posts for November.

Hello there, Hope everyone is doing good!

So the quess i have for admins who does a really great job at managing stuff and giveaways at the forums and everything at the forum i have a question

How do admins count every VPS owner posts and manage them, Do you guys have any Custom-Made Plugin for counting the posts which makes the job easier for you
How much time does it usually takes for counting every VPS Owner Posts, Since there are many VPS Owner as we can see in the list.
I'm sure that it's a really great job for admins doing that! I would really give a huge appreciation to admins for doing such an amazing job!

So, I have recently brought my first VR headset: a Oculus Quest 2 powered by Facebook.

What makes this headset special?
Well, it is cheap, compared to the alternatives, and it work on both stand-alone and pc-linked mode!

You can use on-board installed games, it basically runs a special Android build, or play your SteamVR pc games!

I brought the 64GB ROM edition because I essentially use SteamVR and on-board games doesn't interest me much.

There are a lot of pros about this headet: it's cheap, it runs a 90Hz display, it works with "hand-tracking" controls...
But well, we don't need to cite them because they are good features and all the community likes them, let's speak about the other "features" that just divided the community into 2:

• It requires a Facebook account, well Facebook brought Oculus and it is now releasing the first product after the ownership change. I know that there are a lot of "anti-facebook" out there... but can you blame Facebook? Facebook requires you to use their own authentication system... Googles does it, but also Apple, Microsoft, GitHub... every time you see "Log in with ... [Company Name]".
  
• The lens have just 3 different adjustment levels: 58mm, 62mm and 68mm. This feature scared me a lot because I couldn't know precisely the distance on my eyes, but I tried it and worked for me!
  
• Head straps are not strong enought to "fix" the headset while you move your head, well... I am using it without any issue. You can change the strap stenght easily before putting on the headset;
  
• The SteamVR connection requires a cable which costs 99€, well... Oculus already said that it can work with "compatible and good manufacter" cables. I brought a compatible cable and it is working without any issue and it is very cheap!
  

What do you think?
Did you ever try VR?

Let me know!

Hello we will be migrating all servers to a temporary node,
and will move them back to original node once work is complete.
This is necessary to upgrade the Server OS to a newer version.
And to make sure nothing is lost we have sourced a temporary node to put all VM's on until the work has been completed on Source Node
Downtime is expected but likely won't take long but depending on network speed/resources & such it could take longer than expected.
We choose to do this now instead of later since this should be around low population time when everyone is either recovering from their Thanksgiving "food coma's" if you live in the US and celebrate Thanksgiving and/or are in other parts of the world and are likely just waking up.

Thank you for your understanding & patience.
We will update this thread and our Twitter when Maintenance has been completed

Hello all dear members.

I need a Dedicated GPU server for a learning base project to decode hashkey with hashcat. however someone tell me that i also do this work with cmd but i never knows how. i need a server which mostly people use for mining but i can't deal with any mining. just to decode a hashkey. i find many but not less then 50$ i just need for about one week, a server with high end gpu.

Kindly also guide me if anyone have idea how to do it with cmd also..
or
any hashcat application user here kindly help me.

So If you find any good Black Friday deals plz post here. I saw @deanhills has made a topic about Black Friday but it's about what you like to get rather than the deals. But OFC if this look too much then merge the topic to that one. Anyway here are few nice deals I have seen so far. Post any good deals you guys have found.

01. NameCheap .com domains for 4.98 USD. They do have offers for other TLDs too.


02. NameSilo also have BlackFriday Offer but that can't beat the one offered by NameCheap.


Well no BlackFriday Offers from Godaddy this time.

HostWinds has some nice Managed VPS offers starting from 5.17 usd per month for 1GB RAM, 1Core, 30GB SSD, 1T transfer.


03. OVH has some offers too starting from $33 per month for a 32GB DDR3 1,600MHz,S3x2TB   SATA dedi


04. Racknerd offers 22 USD annual for 2GB RAM, 2 vCPU core




Hopefully we will be able to see some good Black Friday offers from our Sponsors too.

So the VPS5 servers are moved to a different location and received different hardware too. I guess it's time to review the new server compared to old one. So lets check the Spec list,

• 6 GB RAM.
  
• 1 Core.
  
• 200 GB SSD Space.
  
• 1 Gbps connection.
  
• Un-metered Bandwidth.
  
• KVM with Virtualizor.
  
• 1x IPv4.
  
• Finland Location.
  
• Game Servers Allowed.
  

These specs make ShadowHosting Sponsored VPS5 is one of the best in our server pool. Now there are few VPS which has more RAM than this but when you look at specs in generally I would say VPS5 can beat any of those. For example VPS9 does have 8GB RAM but have no control panel. VPS15 has 8GB RAM but game servers are not allowed. I guess not everyone needs a panel but I like it. That way I can get things done faster and no need to pester staff members. So as a total package I think VPS5 take the cake as the best one among our vps.

I have used the VPS only about 12 days so I can't do full review on how sites work and performance. But I will do share what I have seen so far. Plus I guess I need to do few benchmarks of the server since nobody has posted yet. Usually I prefer to review the web server performance rather than about hardware but in this case I have to do the both. So lets start with basic Specs,






Now you can see it has a AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12 core processor. Previous VPS had Intel Core i7 3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz. I guess it's no news that Ryzen processor is the clear winner here. But we had 2 cores with last VPS but new one has only 1. So lets do a small CPU benchmark.



I think this looks quite impressive. But for those who love benchmarks I thought better run Geekbench 4 too. Got 4942 for Single-Core Score and 4689 Multi-Core Score. Anything over 4000 suppose to be exallant. You can check result is in the link below,





You can get more details about both these processors and compare in the link below. Both processors are Desktop processors.


I/O Speed -

You can see in first screen shot I/O speed is very good at average of 613.3 MB/s. That's very good IMO. Compared to other VPS i have used here so far and many I see in Reviews VPS5 have better I/O speed. Also I did a small test to check the more about the drive.



That's not bad at all. Also it's copied under 3 seconds which show's it's SSD. I think HDD would take more than 15 seconds.

Location - Finland

I was curious about the location since it's the first time I got a vps in Finland. I want my sites to load fast for North America since that's audience. So I have been checking how WordPress sites preform and results are very impressive. The sites loads for Canadian locations less than 1.3 seconds. These are not heavily loaded sites but this is impressive even for fresh WordPress installation. So I can safely recommend Shadow Hosting to anyone who looking for a WordPress Hosting.

OS and Server usage -

I'm using the VPS as a web server. 6GB RAM and 2.5 GB SWAP makes room for bigger sites than average. It's Amazing Processor and SSD space make VPS5 perfect for the job. WordPress sites preform great and I might move one of my small forums into this too. It's a Fast and powerful beast. I installed CyberPanel as web hosting panel which I have started liking a lot. First I tried to install it on Ubuntu but that didn't work. It's not a fault of this VPS since I had this problem in other servers too. So I installed CentOS 8.2.x and then everything worked so perfect. Cyberpanel installed very fast. UPtime is great too!

ShadowHosting -

ShadowHosting.net has been round a while steered by capable hands of @Manal. They do offer many types of Hosting Packages from Shared Hosting, VPS Hosting, Could Reseller Hosting, WordPress Hosting and Game Server Hosting. SA:MP Servers start from $2.50 a month and Counter Strike Servers from $5.50 a month. These packages comes with DDoes protection which makes it even better. For inexperienced WordPress users ShadowHosting has a managed WordPress Hosting package.

Conclusion -

When you do something for a long time you start sensing things even long before you do actual test. From the moment I logged into ssh for first time I kind of started feeling this new VPS5 is faster and better. I was not wrong since i found it works fast and can take a hard bunch. So I thing I can say without a double this is the VPS from all the servers I have used here till now.  Kudos for @Manal and ShadowHosting for Sponsoring us 2great VPS.
