Excited for the new version
-
So how is every thing so far?

Is it safe to delete a client via the database if you delete their invoices and service?
My situation is that I have an offline payment option and I do not always authorize people from using it. I want to delete clients that have ordered the service but I did not authorize it.

Now if mike would just update his site =P
-
Did you get the new info and try it?
-
Ok, so I deleted and recreated your account and recreated your order. It seems to be all fixed. Check your email.
Let me know if it is all fixed, please check your email.
-
Huh, weird.
Did you make 2 accounts? There seems to be a duplication.
Sorry for the wait/issue.
I am looking into it right now. You should have received an email.
-
Hmm ok, that makes sense now.
I think that option should be renamed to "Send package welcome email" or similar.
It makes it seem like they will get an email saying
"Your order has been recieved, blablablabla, will be activated when payment is recieved, blablabla."
-
Then I guess my improvement would be, send module email when service is manually created.
-
But what if it never sends it in the first place?
-
There seems to be no way to resend activation emails for the modules.
Also when you create a service it does not send the activation email either.
-
Now its activated. Login to get your info.
-
+1 for stripe
-
Perfect, I went to go change the license for solusvm to get more vms per server and their site is down
.As soon as I can do that I can activate it. Sorry about the wait, crazy week, moving to a new datacenter.
-
Still busy, will get to it soon

I have to disagree on some of your points on OpenVZ.
Also sharing the kernel is the main issue. No windows, etc.
I do feel that KVM/Xen provides better performance/security/reliability for the Client.
-
I'm not a fan of OpenVZ at all, if you ask me it's not really even virtualization. It's the shared hosting of VPS, but hosting providers love it because they can oversell. Each have their benefits I suppose. I prefer KVM or Xen PV personally.
I agree, its closer to Multi-User then Virtualization.
-
You as provider probably are refering to VPS you will provide to your customers?If so it depend what is your target auditory and also it depend what virtualization you will offer.
See 256Mb RAM in kernel level OVZ and 256mb RAM in OS level KVM/XEN is not even close when it comes customer,for example if you use two VPS both with 512mb RAM and on both install same centos 6 you will have more free ram in OVZ no metter you use same amount of RAM in every VPS and same distro .
It is because OVZ share node kernel with VM while in KVM/XEN you are installing full OS.that is why start point for OVZ VPS can be lower than for KVN/XEN. Almost all providers have128MB plans (some even even lower but it is ...well low) for OVZ VPS while for KVM/XEN start is min. 256MB or mostly 512 MB.
So basicly for OVZ you can make start plans from 128MB while start point for KVM/XEN is 256mb or 512MB ,now it depend from you and your target auditory what will you use as start point ,if you target midle or high end level than probably you won't need 128-256 plans but if you are new it is hard to start right now in that class where price isn't first on the list to no one.
I woud go with low end and midle class and I woud start with two option OVZ(from 128Mb-2Gb plans) and KVM (from 512Mb-4Gb) ,but if you decide to go fight in high end class right now than be ready for havy advertising.When it comes to CPU it depends of CPU itself,Virtulization(again) and menagment,basicly if you intend utitly CPU as vCore=Real Core than for small VPS you can give from 0.5-1 vCore and from 1-8 vCore for larger VPS but I will say again it depend from many factors ,I don't know which CPU and how many you have on node and also it depend what % of CPU load you will set as limit....
CPU is shared no metter which virtualization you use you use so it is essential to find right solution for menagment .
What do you guys think is best OpenVZ or KVM

VPS are only good for cheap licesing, but I never recommend a VPS for anything in production, only for testing or DNS faillover backup plan
Today we can have very cheap servers and we can also, like Paul said and good, to separte services
Here is a list of very cheap and reliable servers (we have more several dozens of servers with them) to buy if you are a server admin:
hetzner.com (serverboerse.de/en/)
online.net
ovh.com (kimsufi.com)
I have in the past back in 2002, I think, some VPS in http://www.serverint.net/ they where the best at that time
If today i choose a VPS, because Im a server admin, the first thing I look is Dedicated Ram and Virtual Ram, the higher the better
But for a normal user that is starting buisness or want to move from anouther VPS or from a Hosting package in our feedback they look only for in this order:
0.- Price (looool)
1.- Disk Space
2.- Bandwidth
3.- Cpu Hz
4.- Ram
5.- Cores
6.- Datacenter Location
7.- Lisencing/Software included
Hope that helps
Hmm interesting. I do the opposite
. I run almost everything on Virtual Private Servers. It offers things like snapshots, easy backups, share one powerful host, etc.I would agree though that most VPS hosting company really give you shitty performance(cough ovh cough), and because of that most people think that VPS systems are bad.
-
Though, the core is a stat I don't normally pay attention to, because it's normally not helpful at all.
Simply saying "1 core" doesn't tell me anything. Is that a shared core? Dedicated Core (doubt it)? 1.8ghz core? 3.3ghz core? So if you are looking for advice on planning offerings...that's one thing I will say...give people details into what you mean by "core".
I agree, it pisses me off when a company says includes one core. I am like wtf does that mean?
Take dreamhost for example http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting/vps/
I can't even tell how many cores I get, let alone what speed.

1GB RAM minimum I have 3GB at the moment as I was hiting 1.3/4GB sometimes so best to ensure you don't hit the limit. 10GB is fair for Diskspace you'd rarely hit it. And then then Bandwidth at least double the diskspace so about 20GB. 1 core is enough as-well but some have 2 - 3. We have 3 at the moment.
I agree, now these days 1GB is a minimum. 10GB might be fine for a minimal linux install. I personally would prefer at least 50GB.
Hmm that brings up a good point. What do you think about HDD vs SDD?
Client Deletion
in Feature Requests
Posted
I would really like to delete some clients. These are bogus accounts that have names like adkufhaiduh and ffffffsdofiheoif. These are fake accounts, and I would like to be able to delete them. It drives me mad when I am going through my clients and there are these clients, it really bugs my OCD.
I know we should not delete clients with invoices paid, etc, but I think that is up to us. So make it some way that is is kinda hidden in the clients page, but still an option.
I really want to do some spring cleaning.
