I have some questions for the current users of vps 2,3,6,7,9,16,17,18 .... these are the kvm VPS s without control panel.

1) what are the Linux flavours you use ? centos, ubuntu. please mention version

2) could you afford to spare / reserve say 3-5 GB space on your HDD for system recovery or reinstall on your own any time you like ? 

3) do you want option to emergency reboot to a live environment with vnc access and recover / reinstall from there ?

4) do you use passwords or key file to login to your vps through ssh ?

5) what is your current hdd partition scheme ? what would you do differently if you could configure it during install ?

thanks

re. I'm working on getting a unified system to fresh install Linux on these VPSs. So your input is very important.

thanks..

This is difficult for me to understand as I don't see anything about this in the popular press, or am I missing it? Why aren't Governments putting a stop to the overpopulation of the world? Like how many babies are brought into the world every day that there aren't any resources for and parents don't have the means to take care of them? In certain cases not even food or shelter? Yet they are allowed to be born? Why are people crying so much about poor families with six small children in a boat from France to the UK? Why did those six small children come into being? Were they created so the parents can get on a small boat and be treated with more sympathy?

Shouldn't there be some rules and regulations before someone is allowed to become pregnant? Like show proof of being able to take care of the child first. Maybe a requirement to register with an authority after a contract of marriage or a contract of some sort has been established as showing the couple or person fit to take care of children. Then apply for a license to have X number of children with proof of ability to take care of them. And maybe a reporting system afterwards in which the license has to be renewed after every so many years.

Like how many homeless children are there in the world? And the source of the problem is never really attended to.

Like everything is based on greed and corruption. The more people that countries can get the more demand for products, the more taxes in overall, the richer the rich. But still, why are the Governments not making an issue of it? Isn't that the easier way of trying to control the environmental crisis?

Hello there, I'm going to show you the easiest way to install SinusBot and TeamSpeak3 on VPS both for Debian and Ubuntu! TeamSpeak3 is a Voice Server which is mostly used by the eSport teams for communication and it is also used by some students and other individuals too, On the other hand Sinusbot is a MusicBot in which you could listen music or setup amazing scripts provided over their forum!

So, Lets get started by updating and installing some tools for running TeamSpeak3


Now, Add a non-root user for TeamSpeak3 as it is not recommended to run TeamSpeak3 on root user!


Setting up the files for TeamSpeak3 Server and starting the server :
Your TeamSpeak3 will generate a ServerAdmin Password, APKIKEY and one time user Server Admin Token which should be used open joining the server first time

You have successfully installed TeamSpeak3 Server on your VPS! TeamSpeak3 is a voice server.
Pros : 
TeamSpeak3 is simple and have a decent interface
It uses much less ram as compared to others Voice Servers.
You can also use multiple scripts to modify the server according to your needs (Example, Admin Bots which manage users and other actions)
Cons:
TeamSpeak3 Free Licence allows only 32 slots and the gamer licence starts from 55$! They do not accept sponsorship offer real easily.

As any business, including the data centers the important thing is the supply of electricity. In my locality often flood occurs in the near by areas. It forces the electricity board to turn of the power supply for a large area including non-affected areas. The issue is sometimes the flood occurs in the way to the sub station from the main station. So there is no instant supply to the substation. 
My question is how the issue of power cut affecting in your area and business? 
Is there any solution such as storing the electricity in mass amount for the future.

HI,

 P4V has multiple KVM VPSs without control panel. So the VPS owners are forced to contact staff/admin when they lock themselves out of SSH somehow or want a reinstall of OS.

Now here is what I propose to enable you guys to restore SSH and reinstall OS on your own in all of the scenarios except one [ tell you at the bottom ].

1) restore SSH -

setup a github public account and fix a specific file over there that will be used as our flag.

Now we make a script that periodically checks that flag for some predetermined sign and when it gets that sign, it just uninstalls and reinstalls SSH, restores your sshd settings and makes sure that the designated port is accessible from outside though firewall.

The sign can be a simple 'yes' or anything you like.

You can incorporate network checks and reset option in the script too !!

2) Reinstall OS -

This will be almost similar.. almost

Here you use a preseed file with basic netboot iso install image that is loaded and run through grub to prepare a basic system automatically [ unattended ] and ssh is enabled which you can use to login to complete the steps.

Here also we use another script that periodically checks a flag.

I can help you guys with the preseed file for ubuntu and how to set that up. For other OS, you will have to experiment I guess.

So we mainly use cron to run a script that checks say every hour for our two flags. So even if we lose access to the system, It can do a sort of reset to let us back in or reinstall OS for us.

The big plus i see is more freedom for both staff and VPS owners.

What do you guys say ?


NOTE. - If you nuke the system so hard that nothing is working inside and even the cron, base system is corrupted, then I guess you will have to contact the staff. But let me hazard a guess, you guys rarely end up in that kind of scenario. It is mostly wanting to start fresh with an OS. isn't it?

Hello everyone. i have seen on the news 2 days ago that there was an explosion in something the lebanon country claims it is a "firework factory". the explosion was looking like a nuke just went off there but experts says it does not a nuke bomb. because if it was. the people in the city would be dead by now. according to the yesterday news there are 100 who died from the explosion and 4000 people who just got severely wounded. i would like to hear your opinion guys about the mysterious explosion and what do you think have happened? was it real a nuke that set off that the goverment hide from us?
here is a video about the explosion:

Around 2 weeks ago, we at Shadow Hosting did some tweaks at VPS 4's node for which a restart was involved.
Considering the feedback, VPS 4's performance has been boosted for around 1.5x than normal speed on average. There were some old and useless services running in our background which we terminated and disabled it. 

I would like to ask @rudra if he has seen any such boost in recent days?

Hey guys,


I was working on my PC last night and I hibernated it to continue working in the morning. I hibernated it and when it completely shut down and the light on the PC case is turned off (I still plugged my computer in the electricity socket but all lights in my PC turned off). Next morning (around 3 - 4 AM), I suddenly woke up and saw that my PC is ON with the light in the case on like somebody turned it on. I logged in and checked it and all the programs that I ran before the hibernation was now closed. Can anyone explain this to me, how did the PC turn on when there was no electricity in the case and why did all the programs I opened was closed?

Hi all, it has been a while since my latest feedback so here you go!

A new giveaway has been opened and while I was reading I have noticied that our @deanhills also wrote down the "game servers not advised" and "game server not allowed".
I am not aware of the motivation, I only know that VPS 1 has some problem with gameservers, but the comparator still shows the "not advised" VPSes as capable of run a game server.

It would be nice if a new "status" and icon are added to it to warn users about this.


Let me hear your ideas about this!

Regards, LightDestory.

there is a red notification on the home tab in Quora with 1 in a red circle. i have uploaded the picture here in imgur.

i have no unchecked notification. don't see any floating messages either.

i did a lot of searching. could not find any explanation so far.

thank you in advance, for your efforts.
