Reading _Counter Hack Reloaded_, 2nd Ed., has convinced
me that I should look for an (OpenBSD) ISP that supports
SCP for file transfers. Is there a list of such servers?
(possibly at openbsd.org, although I did not spot it)
Or can anyone recommend some inexpensive sites?
(my website is not commercial).

I saw an ad for easyspeedy.com, and spoke with their sales dept. You
have unlimited root access to your own server, the ability to
(re)install any OS they list (they're working on getting 3.9 available..
they use a special installer to install on your server without human
interaction).
Seems like a very worthy server system; I plan to at least check them
out when I have my finances in order.
Check out: http://easyspeedy.com/servers/operating_systems_linux_bsd.jspx
it's their list of Operating Systems they can install without human
interaction. |

I sent an email to sales address on their website and it bounced.
What are the fees they charge or what is the url where the fees are displayed?
Thanks.

I've been conversing with Tom at the sales (at) easyspeedy.com address.
Very personal messages, very reasonable response times, very impressed.
On their homepage, in the black menubar, the option "servers" will drop
down and give you the options for servers.
Going there today, however, seems to be different than when I went a few
weeks ago. There used to be basic servers, with 32bit Intel Celeron
chips. Now all I see for the basic models are 64bit processors (not a
bad thing, it's just changed).
They price it on the European monies, but a simple currency conversion
gives you a rough idea. http://www.xe.com/ucc/ -- Universal Currency
Converter
I haven't paid for one yet -- and I'm very tempted to. There's no
contract, it's a month-to-month basis, so even if you try for a month,
and hate it, you're out about $60 US dollars, basically. You don't get
locked in, you have ultimate root access, and if worst comes to worst, I
believe you can have somebody punch a button, WHEN THEY ARE AROUND --
they don't make special trips (the only negative.. but even that isn't
enough to consider them a bad service).
I can't wait to start.. I don't know about any referral process, but
please check if you don't mind. contact me at the address I post these
messages with (it's uncensored), and I'll get you my other personal
details with what Tom may be more familiar.
Good luck, I wish I had the currency to try it now, even if it's just
trying it.
Thank you! |
