Just my 2 cents, but I'd like to see a company name and phisycal address on your website (possibly on the footer?), let alone a linkedin profile, just to be a bit reassured I'm not dealing with a scam. The more you are transparent, the more users are gonna trust you.

It's not a matter of having 'issues'. It's telling your customers you lost 7 days of data if something happens. If you do incremental backups, the daily or hourly deltas are not gonna be such a burden.

Actualy, weekly backups are usually not part of a good data protection policy. You should think about at least daily backups, if not hourly for the databases. And the retention should be as much as possible, to be able to look back in the past, to a point there were no issues.

You might also look at some commercial solutions, they have virtual appliances with declared performances, like: - Fortinet https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/data-sheets/FortiGate_VM_ESXi.pdf - Cisco...

Actually, there are migration paths to Almalinux and Cloudlinux, without reinstalling everything, for the lazy ones who waited till EOL :P

While there might be fluctuations in the IPv4 market, there's currently no reason to think price could drop in the long run. It's a matter of scarcity more than offer and demand. IPv6 is light years away to be adopted. I remember attending a RIPE conference back in 2012, it was all about the...

I would not call it overselling. It's just overcommitting resources, which is absolutely normal in the cloud industry. Consider that cloud providers overcommit hardware resources when they sell VPS's, because statistically nobody is using 100% CPU, 100% RAM and 100% Disk Space. Not...

Actually a DDOS can happen at two levels: - At Network level, where one or more ip addresses are targeted with a number of possible attacks, typically massive UDP traffic. Depending on the scale, the malicious traffic can be filtered out (and this is usually done by the upstream carriers with...

It seems this thread went quite unnoticed, but in the last 3 years Cockroach DB seems to have gained popularity. Anyone using it? The only downside I see is the data sovereignty, because they push it as a cloud instance rather than self-hosted.

If you have identical servers with a plain LAMP stack agree.If you need to monitor specific databases (elastic, mongo, postgres), containers, and/or specific services, you're not gonna take 5 minutes :)

I've been using Zabbix for ages, but from my experience it takes quite a lot of time to configure (properly) a monitored server, leading to skip some checks or not keeping it up to date when the infrastructure changes. To my lazy customers I prefer suggesting PRTG, it's Windows based so probably...

When considering a backup strategy for your servers, there are quite a few options, from the control panel integrated tools to third-party applications. However the most convenient way is using the snapshots provided by the hypervisor (if your server is not a physical box of course). Wondering...

If it is for development, using containers is a much more efficient, fast and convienient way of working. You need less resourses in term of disk and memory, and can save a lot of time deploying now istances. Consider using Podman, instead of Docker, which is more modern :)
