- The internets are now up and tubin' at our place, after like two months! Thank you, Corey
yourusername, for letting the install dude into the house.
- Mung bean sprouts are roughly the most delicious thing in the whole world. Also, the farmer's market is roughly the most delicious place to shop in the whole world.
- hackmode will be up Pretty Soon. Brett
zip4096 was like "what about virtualized hosting"? And I really like that idea, and it's a lot less expensive than colocation. Plus Xen rocks really hard.
- Talk Like A Pirate Day seems to have lost some momentum, questionmark? Discuss.

Is it an either/or proposition? You can virtualize in a colo environment. You just have to pay the extra $1 a month (or thereabouts) for an IP for each VM.

Date: 2006-09-21 05:28 am (UTC)Instead of that, though, we could rent out a Xen'd server for more like $30 or $50! One such company that does this is here:

(and you still get root!)

Date: 2006-09-22 03:00 am (UTC)I was really looking forward to unshared bandwidth. At SiteSouth we'd get 1 mbps shared amongst only the 5-10ish people using hackmode. With a regular virtualized server you'd be sharing with 50ish people. On my existing setup I rarely get 10% of the machine's total RAM, CPU power or bandwidth- which really hurts when I need it (which is incredibly rare for myself and, I'd imagine, anybody else using it. Therefore, when you needed it, you could get nearly 100% without anybody complaining).
So, which would you rather have, 3% of a machine for $30 or 20% of a machine for $50 (if that)?
Plus, I'd be willing to foot a larger-than-average portion of the bill considering some possible future projects. How many people are interested? 2U at SiteSouth is only $164/month. Divided by 5 and that's equivalent to the cheapest VPS you could find. I see no reason to avoid this choice.
