You are viewing a single comment's thread:

That is indeed an issue... way too many people are using Privex, which means that when Privex is under attack, half of Hive is down. Which is why I spread my servers around, geographically where possible, and over different providers, to keep things as decentralized as possible. I also don't use VPS, but bare metal, with full access to everything, except physically touching the hardware (although that is almost virtually possible...).

Maybe you would like to rent out your bare metal servers to people by splitting them into multiple VPS. 🤔🤯 That way, you could recoup some (or even all) of the costs of renting those servers, while being able to help other people rent servers (especially those here on Hive) with lower costs (and some of your assistance). 🤗🧘‍♂️😎

I could do that perhaps! Would need to get my Sysadmin experience back from the back of my head, but it would be possible! Not sure if there is a lot of interest in it though. There’s already someone on Hive doing that if I’m not mistaken… (privex)

I really think that @savvytester would be one of those who would be (very) interested in such setup! 🤯 A #Privex VPS seems too expensive (already at $7.49 for a VPS with 1GB RAM, 25GB SSD, and 1 core). 💸🤓

That is indeed not cheap… I’ve will give it a thought! But it won’t be something for the next coming weeks though :-)

Please take your time preparing a VPS plan for @savvytester. 🤗 Please take your time typing your comments too, as what is evident on I've will on that comment. 🤣😂

You can think that Hive would benefit from more VPS providers (which accept Hive), and your reasoning is not that you are better than others like what you said on your Hive Witness promotion post, but that people on Hive can benefit from multiple choices !INDEED. 🤔🧘‍♂️🤗🤓

Looks like I have encouraged you (slightly) more to have your own (mini) VPS hosting service here on Hive !INDEED! 😎😆😅

Yes you have :-)
But it is not in the top 5 of my priorities at the moment :-D

I would assume that it is within the Top 100 of your priorities at the moment though. 🤔🤯🤣😂

Looks like while my guess on my previous comment was accurate !INDEED, it can still improve (a lot) in terms of precision. 🤔🤯🤓

I noticed that it's one of your comments where you were unable to reply to someone's comment (which happens to be from @savvytester) under it. 🤯😅

Totally weird, since I clearly remember having replied to that specific comment… It must have gone lost, bad connection or something…
Anyway, replied now :-)

Even I (and sometimes @savvytester) notice that when I replied to roughly 30 comments (either on a day or two), about one or two of those comments didn't actually get published. 🤯

Anyway, I also replied to your comment there. 😅

And I replied to it too now! :-) Yeah, I love Ecency for fast and easy use, especially on the iPhone, but it does have its flaws here and there :-)

Perhaps when you notice that the #Ecency frontend encounters significant technical issues that makes it hard for you to use, you already have a good alternative already in place! 😎😏
