Btrfs or ext4 with AlmaLinux ?

i moved from vps to AX41-NVMe server from hetzner i was running almalinux with cpanel everything was fine
now i don't know if that possible to install almalinux and how to do it can anyone help me please thanks you !

I been using Crucial mx500s and they work fine, but need to change them out about every year just keep safe on nand wear on the hosting server. As was going go with higher wear drive to get 2 or 3+ years, but not seeing any available. I have used Patriot SSds in the past and notice they seem to fail with drive still readable to recover on home user computers more often then other drives in my personal experience. SO checking I notice the nand write endurance is over double of crucial. So I was just wondering if anyone has tried the Patriot burst on their servers or not and experience they have had. I am considering trying a couple.

Thanks in advance for any and all comments.

Hi,

Who is offering bare metal dedicated server using AlmaLinux/cPanel now?

I'm currently using LiquidWeb, but they do not offer it yet (no ETA). I have also checked a couple of other major providers, but none of them offers it at this moment too.

For hosting providers, if you are not offering it now, any ETA so we know when to expect it and choose accordingly?

Thank you!

I come to tell you a little about my experience in QPS.

I have hired 6 dedicated servers.

The delivery was quite fast, less than 24 hours.

The network in all this time monitored 24/7 with 100% uptime and speed between 500 to 900 mbps

the hardware has been really good, I only had a slight problem with a disk in one of the servers but it could have probably been due to software damage. change the server and everything is perfect.

Thanks to QPS, it helped me to run a stable business and my customers were very happy.

Hello,

So with the recent announcement of CentOS coming to and end i find myself wondering which is the best option for a new Dedicated server.

Do I still go with CentOS 7 or is there an alternative option now?

I know that CentOS is only EOL in 2024 and CentOS 8 is EOL now in this year 2021. So it makes very little sense to go with CentOS 8.

Any opinions welcome

Hello, my name is David, new member

I'm recently learning about using server hosting or providing services.
And I realized that server hosting should also be provided to meet customer needs.

Below are the Top 5 picked from our own survey to learn more.
Server's stable operation, security, price, quick response, and data center location seem to be important values.
What do you think is most important in a dedicated server??

Please feel free to share your opinions and reasons. I would appreciate it

hello,

For about 100eur, i can get managed Hetzner server: hetzner.com/managed-server

OR unmanaged Hetzner server + platinumservermanagement.com/ (or + myw.pt/devops).


What will be a better option?

I have no experience as System Administrator.

I will like to keep the server fast, optimized, and online.

I don't plan to host many websites on the server, I need a server for a couple of large websites.

So optimization of servers for sites is very important to me.

For optimization I mean, cache optimization, database optimization, server optimization for WordPress, etc...

Is anyone have experience with Hetzner managed servers?


Best Regards

Hello!

Just wanted to share that we had a great experience with GTHost. I needed a dedicated server to run a Minecraft network for the middle school students at the nonprofit I work at over quarantine, which they used as a safe place to connect with one another and make memories while they were isolated. GTHost was helpful and quick to respond, and the service was exactly what we needed. It had excellent uptime, responded quickly, and was able to do what we needed it to do. A very positive experience overall, for anyone looking for an affordable dedicated machine!

Hello,

I have been using 3108 RAID controllers with supermicro servers for a long time.
It works fine.

However, due to the increase in SSD performance, I was always aware that software RAID will probably be better in performance along with some filesystems such as ZFS having additional unique advantages.
So I am finally considering making the leap from hardware RAID to software RAID, especially since NVME drives from what I know don't even have hardware RAID support.

In the past when connecting many drives I noticed I have to setup each signle drive as a RAID 0 through the RAID card, which I think would decrease performance.

So I have to questions regarding best method to connect 24 SSDs for software RAID?

1.
What is the standard way of connecting 24 SATA SSDs to a storage server and use each drive individually and/or setup as software raid?
From what I know a RAID card such as 3108 is usually needed to connect so many drives to the mainboard.

2.
How does 24 nvme drives work in Storage servers that support it? Does mainboard have shared PCIe lanes that are connected with the nvme drives?

Thank you.

Warning to all dedicated hosts!

Huge amounts of our sales leads are now for Chia miners.

They use massive cpu (and therefore power) to plot very large hard drives.

They always want an SSD (this improves plotting speed). They will burn out your SSDs. Every 1gb of HDD space "plotted" will require 15gb of writes to your SSDs.

When Chia crashes, this "demand" will disappear, leaving you with burnt out SSDs, large hard drives you don't need, and large power commitments without a customer to pay for them.

If you entertain these sales at all, make sure to use SSD with high endurance (3 drive writes per day rated or higher). Make sure to charge a setup fee.

Right now, a storage server that might be worth $1000/mo can bring in $1000/day in Chia. This is making people go bonkers.

Be careful out there!
