        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi LET,</p>

<p>I wanted to shar e small project we recently built.</p>

<p>It is a free open-source WHMCS addon for hourly / pay-as-you-go billing.</p>

<p>GitHub:<br />
<a href="https://github.com/linuxer69/hourly-billing-for-whmcs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/linuxer69/hourly-billing-for-whmcs</a></p>

<p>Project page:<br />
<a href="https://tlfhost.com/hourllyblingwhmcs.html" rel="nofollow">https://tlfhost.com/hourllyblingwhmcs.html</a></p>

<p>We originally built it because WHMCS does not have a simple native way to bill services hourly from client credit. The module allows a provider to set hourly prices for WHMCS products and charge the customer from their account balance based on usage.</p>

<p>It currently supports basic things like:</p>

<ul>
<li>hourly billing from WHMCS credit</li>
<li>per-product hourly rates</li>
<li>auto-suspend when balance is not enough</li>
<li>auto-reactivation after the client adds credit</li>
<li>client area usage/balance page</li>
<li>admin logs and rate management</li>
</ul>

<p>Important note: this is the first public version.</p>

<p>It may have bugs and it is probably not ready for production use yet. If you want to try it, please test it in a lab/staging WHMCS installation first. I do not recommend installing it directly on a live billing system until it has been tested more.</p>

<p>I am sharing it here mainly to get feedback from other providers and people who understand WHMCS better than me. If you find bugs, bad logic, missing checks, or have suggestions, issues and pull requests are very welcome.</p>

<p>Issues:<br />
<a href="https://github.com/linuxer69/hourly-billing-for-whmcs/issues" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/linuxer69/hourly-billing-for-whmcs/issues</a></p>

<p>This is not a hosting offer. It is just a free tool for the community.</p>

<p>We also have two other small tools we developed:</p>

<p><a href="https://tools.tlfhost.com/" rel="nofollow">https://tools.tlfhost.com/</a><br />
A small collection of online tools.</p>

<p><a href="https://tmpup.site/" rel="nofollow">https://tmpup.site/</a><br />
A simple temporary file upload service.</p>

<p>Any feedback is appreciated.</p>

<p>I'd like to share this brand new BGP/ASN/network insight tool with everyone. It's a completely open-source, (mostly) static, and reproducible project. It's currently available on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://peer.as/">PEER.AS</a>.</p>

<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://ibb.co/4n56Yrt8"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/RkVxBwb3/img3.png" alt="img3" border="0" /></a><br />
The data on the website comes from publicly available RIPE rrc01/06 MRT Dumps (more collection points planned!) and is provided after processing and weight reduction. Unlike bgp.he.net and bgp.tools, this website has no rate limit because, simply put, it's a full BGP table living in your browser. It uses duckdb+parquet sharding and is served by Cloudflare Pages.<br />
<a rel="nofollow" href="https://ibb.co/vvJtGwdm"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/S7KL8sm0/img2.png" alt="img2" border="0" /></a></p>

<p>In addition to the core AS/Prefix data, two other well-crafted tools are currently available: IP Probe which probes all your outgoing IPs (similar to browserleaks), and Global Test which provides 2D/3D visualized route tracing via globalping.io global probe points + nexttrace IP data.</p>

<p>Go try it out today and any feedback would be helpful!</p>

        <title>multi-drive dedicated servers so hard to find. Is RAID still necessary?</title>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I’m planning to migrate my workloads from a VPS to a dedicated server. Since most VPS hosts use RAID on the hypervisor to provide some storage redundancy (I know, RAID is not a backup!), I’m naturally leaning towards a RAID 1 setup for my first dedicated server.</p>

<p>However, I’ve noticed that most instant-setup/pre-configured dedicated servers nowadays come with a single massive NVMe drive (like 3.84TB or 7.68TB) rather than two smaller drives. <br />
On the other hand, fully customizable servers are way more expensive. For instance, on an 8-core Ryzen / 64GB RAM / 1TB NVMe base model, adding an extra 32GB of RAM and a second 1TB NVMe drive costs almost as much as the monthly base price itself! (I know, that's a budget issue on my end, haha <img src="https://lowendtalk.com/resources/emoji/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="20" /> ).</p>

<p>This got me thinking: Does the market nowadays just prefer single-drive configurations?</p>

<p>Also, what are the failure rates of modern NVMe drives like? Since I already have solid off-site backups in place, do I really still need RAID 1, or is running a single drive perfectly fine for most use cases today?</p>

<p>Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to do development on the remote machines and vscode-server or SSHFS/NFS wasn't just good enough and fast enough so I ended up writing this. The main sluggishness was search text in files which is a feature that I use alot in my development workflow.</p>

<p><a href="https://github.com/noamanahmed/vscode-remote-server-project" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/noamanahmed/vscode-remote-server-project</a></p>

<p>The daemon is written in python and a vscode extension. You can download the vscode extension from the releases and then just follow the instructions to connect to the server.</p>

<p>You can also spawn a new terminal and it would proxy it using RPC over websockets.</p>

<p>The only thing pending from this is that claude,codex and other AI vscode extensions spawn there own shell and cannot run commands on the remote server using the terminal which I have created.</p>

<p>It's alpine/debian both compatible.</p>

<p>Looking forward to your suggestions.</p>

<ul>
<li>Unlimited data (bandwidth of 100 Mbps or higher)</li>
<li>DDoS Protection (L3/L4)</li>
<li>Decent CPU performance (GB5 Score ≥ 1000)</li>

<p>Do you have any recommendations? Thanks to everyone for your replies!</p>

<p>p.s.: I plan to migrate a non-profit service that has been running since 2022 from Cloudflare Workers to a VPS. Faced with the $25/year Cloudflare subscription fee, a VPS might be a better choice.</p>

<p>If you are bored and wanna play around with a LXC container: <a href="https://microlxc.net/" rel="nofollow">https://microlxc.net/</a></p>

<p>Currently AU, NZ, JP, NL, LA, SG, NO, and ZA are available, you can pick between 256 and 1024MB packages.</p>

<p>As usual some requirements apply:</p>

<ul>
<li>Your account needs to be 3 months old</li>
<li>You need to have at least 50 Posts</li>
<li>You need to have at least 50 Likes</li>
</ul>

<p>If you meet these, you can go on the website, and to verify that you are you, you need to post the token that will be given to you in this thread. The Bot will do the rest.</p>

<p>If stuff goes well, it will be publicly soon.<br />
Please report bugs and suggestions.</p>

<p>PS: IPv6 is DHCP based in AU &amp; CH but JP &amp; LA needs Static config, which is automatically configured on Debian &amp; Devuan but not on CentOS/Ubuntu needs to be done by hand yet. You can find your IPv6 in the Panel just substract -1 for the Gateway.</p>

<p>Why did you vote for option A, when option B could have saved you money? <br />
<a href="https://www.ripe.net/media/documents/Voting_Report_-_RIPE_NCC_General_Meeting_May_2026.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.ripe.net/media/documents/Voting_Report_-_RIPE_NCC_General_Meeting_May_2026.pdf</a></p>

<p>Option A: One LIR Account-One Fee model<br />
The fee for your LIR account under this model would be: <strong>EUR 1894</strong></p>

<p>Option B: Category model<br />
The fee for your LIR account under this model would be: <strong>EUR 500</strong></p>

<p>Unless you own a very large block, i do find it unfair that thousands of small LIRs have to finance the big guys insane block usage.</p>

<p>Now the question, did you even vote ?</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I'll keep it short:</p>

<ol>
<li><p><strong>ICANN sends breach notice</strong> to Fewmoretaps OU, d/b/a Trustname - an accredited registrar. ICANN has a litany of complaints, particularly around how TrustName is handling abuse complaints. It stated that TrustName dismissed some complaints on technicalities and didn’t take appropriate action on others. In February, TrustName implemented a remediation plan to address the abuse complaint issues, but ICANN said the same issues continue to this day. full story here: <a href="https://domainnamewire.com/2026/06/10/icann-sends-breach-notice-to-trustname/" rel="nofollow">https://domainnamewire.com/2026/06/10/icann-sends-breach-notice-to-trustname/</a></p></li>
<li><p>Estonian tax filings show €120 in revenue, <strong>one employee</strong>, negative equity, and a deletion notice. Both owners are Belarusian. The scam casino domains keep flowing.</p></li>
</ol>

<p><strong>Popcorn Content here</strong>: <a href="https://phishdestroy.io/trustname-bulletproof-exposed/" rel="nofollow">https://phishdestroy.io/trustname-bulletproof-exposed/</a></p>

<p><strong>The Circular Abuse-Handling Structure</strong><br />
When an abuse complaint arrives for a privacy-protected domain, Trustname receives it and forwards it to… itself. The whoispps.com site openly states that “physical mail is discarded.” This is not privacy — it is an abuse-laundering structure engineered to ensure complaints go nowhere.</p>

<ol start="3">
<li><p>2026-04 (April) <strong>Company deletion notice published</strong> in the Estonian Business Registry.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Both owners are citizens of Belarus</strong> — a country under comprehensive EU and US sanctions since 2020. Was this disclosed during accreditation?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>CAUTION: if you have any domains registered with trustname.com just transfer them right away to a safer and established registrar.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Everyone</p>

<p>I was checking my dedicated Ryzen 5700G server and checked the NVMe SMART data.</p>

<p>The server has 2x Crucial P3 1TB SSDs in RAID1. Performance generally seems fine:</p>

<ul>
<li>RAID1 status healthy ([UU])</li>
<li>No media errors</li>
<li>No NVMe controller resets or I/O errors</li>
<li>NVMe temperatures around 34–35°C</li>
<li>Website TTFB typically 40–70ms</li>
<li>Network diagnostics look normal</li>
</ul>

<p>However, both drives report:</p>

<p>critical_warning: 0x4<br />
percentage_used: 100%</p>

<p>Drive 1:</p>

<ul>
<li>CT1000P3SSD8</li>
<li>Data written: ~255 TB</li>
<li>Media errors: 0</li>
</ul>

<p>Drive 2:</p>

<ul>
<li>CT1000P3SSD8</li>
<li>Data written: ~247 TB</li>
<li>Media errors: 0</li>
</ul>

<p>My Concerns :</p>

<ol>
<li><p>How concerned would you be as a host or system admin about Crucial P3 SSDs showing 100% percentage_used in a production web hosting server?</p></li>
<li><p>Have you seen these drives continue operating reliably for a long time beyond the rated endurance?</p></li>
<li><p>If it were you, would you proactively replace them now, or simply monitor SMART and keep good backups until actual errors appear ?</p></li>
<li><p>In a real world scenario Could reaching 100% endurance contribute to occasional performance inconsistencies even when SMART shows no media errors and latency remains low ?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Interested in hearing real-world experiences here <img src="https://lowendtalk.com/resources/emoji/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="20" /> . Thank you Everyone !</p>

<p>Just wondering who you guys are using as your Fav Domain Registrar.</p>

<p>I have been with NameCheap (for ages) .. Last year, I switched some domain to NameSilo <br />
NC has decent promo here and there for registration but renewal is too expensive. <br />
Namesilo is decent overall, but lately I found out for few TLDs, they are $10-15 expensive.</p>

<p>Wondering if there a better option out there.</p>

<p>Have like 50ish domains.. (most .com and .net but some other expensive TLDs as well)</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I've been using RackNerd for a while, but tracking down all their different promos (Black Friday, New Year, random specials) and comparing specs was getting pretty annoying. You usually have to dig through old threads just to find the right promo link.</p>

<p>To make things easier, I compiled almost all of their active plans and built a simple filter page:<br />
<a href="https://www.vpsvs.com/rn?lang=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.vpsvs.com/rn?lang=en</a></p>

<p>You can quickly sort by price, RAM, storage, or bandwidth. It makes finding a specific setup (like a cheap node for Nginx, or something with decent RAM for a small K3s/Docker setup) a lot faster.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello LET!</p>

<p>as you can see, recently google is pushing harder on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://archive.is/icLq5" title="ai-summary">ai-summary</a> in their search result resulting in site owner / blogger complaining about how they get less and less traffic / visitor. you also probably ever heard about how a site suddenly getting "<a rel="nofollow" href="https://archive.is/X24AS" title="de-indexed">de-indexed</a>" from google as if they're gone entirely.</p>

<p>aside from those two mentioned above, i personally just couldn't stomach ai summary in general. I'm looking for information on sites, so just give me the url and i'll make conclusion on my own, if i need an ayy eee summary i'd open your chat webapp or something, not in my search engine.</p>

<p>after brief searching for alternatives, i seen people mentioned about Kagi but i don't really like their business model. well, it's more i don't like how I have to trust a corporation for my search indexes.<br />
so the next alternative i found is <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server" title="YaCY">YaCY</a>, this software looks mature for it's purpose and has good amount of data indexed.</p>

<p>i tried to deploy it using docker compose, easy enough and get started to crawl my sites that i usually use.</p>

<pre><code>CONTAINER ID  NAME                CPU %   MEM USAGE / LIMIT     MEM %     NET I/O           BLOCK I/O         PIDS
82452305aff9  yacy_search_server  63.65%  1.793GiB / 30.96GiB   5.79%     123MB / 10.5MB    1.47GB / 413MB    168
</code></pre>

<p><img src="https://i.ibb.co.com/ZpGwTHqj/image.png" alt="img" /></p>

<p>this Junior status is intent, i haven't got the time to setup a port-forward using pangolin yet. overall layout also nice.</p>

<p></p><div><br />
<img src="https://i.ibb.co.com/r2FgMkr8/image.png" alt="img" />

<p><img src="https://i.ibb.co.com/7JYGxp68/image.png" alt="img" /></p>

<p><img src="https://i.ibb.co.com/6RKHhPKd/image.png" alt="img" /><br />
</p></div>

<p>I'm content with the search result so far and it works for my day-to-day basis.</p>

<p>so here i am asking you if you know there are sites / old sites that definitely worth to index as it might be useful or interesting for someone, especially if they got kicked out from big tech search engines. let me know in the comment or dm so i can crawl them into yacy.</p>

<p>please note that this is not an archival effort. the website itself has to stay online, only the search index in different places</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Well, has anyone here ever used Trustname.com Domain or heard something about them?</p>

<p>They're openly advertising themself as a bulletproof ICANN registrar domain provider, and I talk with them; they give me a fast reply and say that they redirect the complaint to the hosting provider and check carefully if the complaint comes from an authentic source or not.</p>

<p>I can't find out many reviews about them, only some Trustpilot reviews and some articles, and one BHW user it there continous.</p>

<p>So, if anyone has any experience with it, please tell me. Are they reliable? Are there any issues like account freezing, domain suspension, etc.?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I made two separate XMR top-ups.<br />
Both reached 10/10 confirmations.<br />
The second one reached 10/10 within the invoice window.<br />
Both invoices expired anyway.<br />
Neither payment was credited.<br />
Support was locked after the first failed top-up.<br />
Telegram messages were ignored.<br />
At this point I consider this either a broken billing system or a scam risk.<br />
I'm tired, guys, stay away from this service provider. It was an absolutely terrible experience.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>So, given collapse of trust in service provider, it is natural to seek alternatives. Does anyone scouted something like this:</p>

<ul>
<li>10+ domains per account</li>
<li>5 GB per box</li>
<li>Very good incoming filtering</li>
<li>Europe servers</li>
<li>500+ per hour emails</li>
<li>Stellar support, uptime and deliverability</li>
<li>No need for fancy webmails etc.</li>
<li>Up to 20 EUR for 3 years</li>
</ul>

<p>Close find was the crane, but it is very annoying with "you are fraud, contact support" and GMT -7 is unacceptable + reliability question.</p>

<p>Any more?</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey LET,</p>

<p>A while back we posted <a rel="nofollow" href="https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/207169/hypervisor-v2-a-lightweight-kvm-control-panel-for-low-end-high-end-alike">Hypervisor V2, a lightweight KVM control panel for low-end and high-end alike</a>. Time for an update, because it grew well past "lightweight panel."</p>

<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="https://hypervisor.io/">Hypervisor.io</a></strong> is now a self-hosted control panel for running a real KVM/QEMU cloud on your own hardware: one master, unlimited slave nodes across as many datacenters as you want. The pitch: the provisioning panel, the cloud-services layer, and the commercial layer all ship in one box, so you are not stitching five products together, and you are not standing up an OpenStack/CloudStack control plane to get there.</p>

<h2>The headline: an AI assistant that actually provisions</h2>

<p>Most panels give you a chatbot that links you to docs. Ours is wired into the control plane. You talk to it in plain English and it <strong>does the work</strong>:</p>

<ul>
<li>"Spin up 3 Ubuntu VMs, 4GB each, put them behind a load balancer with SSL on example.com"</li>
<li>"Why is instance web-02 suspended?" "Resize my Postgres to 8GB and add a read replica"</li>
<li>"Show me this month's bandwidth for customer X and suspend anything over quota"</li>
</ul>

<p>It reads your real infrastructure state and executes real actions through the same API the UI uses. Nobody else in this category ships this. It is the difference between a panel you operate and a panel that operates with you.</p>

<h2>Things competitors do not ship (straight from our compare sheet)</h2>

<p>These are the rows where we are alone or clearly ahead. Full matrix: <a href="https://hypervisor.io/compare/" rel="nofollow">https://hypervisor.io/compare/</a></p>

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
  <th>Capability</th>

</table>

<h2>Everything else it does</h2>

<p><strong>Compute:</strong> full KVM lifecycle (deploy, reinstall, resize, snapshot, suspend, destroy), live migration + HA monitoring, VNC + browser SSH, Secure Boot, TPM, cloud-init, ISO mount, <strong>GPU passthrough</strong>, IPv4 + IPv6 (/64), reverse DNS.</p>

<p><strong>Networking:</strong> VPC with VXLAN overlay, private subnets, NAT gateways, VPN gateways, security groups, IP sets, HAProxy load balancers with SSL termination + health checks.</p>

<p><strong>Platform services:</strong> managed MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL with replicas and point-in-time restore, managed Kubernetes, tenant S3 object storage, streaming backups to S3 / SFTP / FTP / rclone, volume snapshots.</p>

<p><strong>Commercial layer:</strong> built-in billing + payments, hourly metering, multi-currency, tax invoicing, auto suspend/resume on balance, self-service storefront. Or bring your own: WHMCS / Blesta / HostBill / Paymenter modules with SSO.</p>

<p>Everything is exposed over a full REST API (OpenAPI docs), so anything the UI or the AI does, you can script.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>30-day free trial</strong>, full platform, one hypervisor, no card required</li>
<li>Annual billing saves the equivalent of 2 months/year</li>
<li>Optional pro-support add-ons up to an Enterprise SLA tier</li>
</ul>

<h2>How it compares (fairly)</h2>

<p>These are all good tools. The difference is scope, not quality.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>OpenStack / CloudStack:</strong> scale to huge fleets and meter well, but you still bolt on invoicing, payments, and a storefront yourself.</li>
<li><strong>VMware:</strong> the enterprise incumbent, post-Broadcom pricing is the conversation. We are a KVM alternative on hardware you already own.</li>
<li><strong>Virtualizor:</strong> a solid multi-hypervisor VPS panel. We lean harder into the cloud-services layer (managed K8s, tenant S3, VPC, DBaaS) plus billing and the AI assistant.</li>
<li><strong>Solus:</strong> a polished KVM panel that pairs with WHMCS. We ship billing and the cloud-services layer as native parts rather than dependencies, though WHMCS still works if you prefer it.</li>
</ul>

<p>Short version: if you only need VM provisioning, the established panels are great. If you want VPC + LB + managed DB + K8s + object storage + billing + an AI that runs it, under one login, that is the gap we fill. As the site puts it: have a billable KVM cloud, storefront, and AI assistant running the same day.</p>

<h2>Try it</h2>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello guys, i live in iran and right now the most stable method for creating a vpn tunnel between an iran server and a foreign server is via asymmetric src header forging (spoofing), in short you forge your foreign server ip to a whitelisted ip (for example an iranian cdn ip) and you forge the iranian server ip to a whitelisted ip (for example an iranian gov site ip). i'm looking for providers that let you do this, and i'd appreciate it if they can offer dedicated servers with 10Gbps+ Network Links. Thank you in advance!</p>

        <guid isPermaLink="false">217052@/discussions</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone!</p>

<p>We've been working hard on a new Anti Spam system for all CraneMail, Shared, &amp; Reseller customers!<br />
Big focus on this project is to build an intuitive portal, as SpamExperts is... uniquely designed.</p>

<p>As reported by ~almost everyone thats beta testing, Our 'out of the box' experience is as good, <br />
or better than, SpamExperts. To quote one beta tester:</p>

<blockquote><div>
  <p>"I feel completely confident letting my clients use this. That hasn't been the case while they've<br />
  been on SpamExperts."</p>
</div></blockquote>

<p>We'd love to invite everyone, even those that aren't a NameCrane customer, to take part in the beta. You can PM me your domain, the primary user/admin, and where to route it to, and you'll be off to the races. If you have multiple domains you can request I set up a reseller account for you as well.</p>

<p>We aren't selling this as standalone filtering or as a SAAS product, but users that contribute useful feedback (UX, filtering performance, bugs, etc) will be allowed to keep their filtering, even if its pointing externally.</p>

<p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong> You'll need to whitelist our relays on your mailserver otherwise they may block us and cause issues.</p>

<p>We're after brutally honest feedback!</p>

<h1>Features</h1>

<p>Here's a quick run of the features:</p>

<ul>
<li>Ability to add rules that match all parts of an email, with basic matches, or advanced regexp patterns.</li>
<li>Ability to poke/tweak scoring on emails. Useful when you can't outright block a domain/sender, but want to nudge things.</li>
<li>Create quarantine reports that include whatever you want, when you want, for whomever you want.</li>
<li>Create domain digest report that is emailed on a schedule that includes <em>all</em> emails sent to <em>any</em> user.<br />
-- This is very useful for company/msp postmasters that need greater monitoring.</li>
<li>Ability to restrict which languages you'll accept emails in.</li>
<li>Ability to restrict emails by content/topic (politics, social media, finances, etc).</li>
<li>Full quarantine system allowing for domain users to release/train/whitelist emails without logging in.</li>
<li>Filter out attachments by extension (we include our own defaults, but you can quickly change that).</li>
</ul>

<p>While our own anti-spam BAYES is quite good, as you train emails as HAM/SPAM in the system, it'll train a personalized BAYES database for your domain, and in time (once you train 50 ham &amp; 50 spam), the personalized BAYES will handle your scoring.</p>

<p>This can help a lot with non english languages, or even just to train the system on what you perceive as ham/spam.</p>

<p>A self-hosted LLM is also used for scoring spam, language detection, &amp; content classifying.<br />
Topic filtering got a major upgrade this week greatly improving accuracy, especially in non english languages.</p>

<p>We'd still count this as 'in beta' though as we're needing more samples from under represented languages.</p>

<h1>Reseller Branding &amp; Management</h1>

<p>Reseller branding is another big feature SpamExperts lacks. Our portal allows resellers to <br />
assign their own MX hostnames to rebrand our mx?.mxfilter.net ones, change colours, and brand pages with their logo. SSO login emails, landing pages, quarantine reports, digests, get your brand colours, labels, &amp; logo.</p>

<p>A centralize dashboard lets you see all of your domains inbound/outbound, top senders &amp; destinations, etc.</p>

<p><img src="https://files.namecrane.com/franexperts/Igsdrmb.png" alt="" /></p>

<h1>Reseller Abilities</h1>

<p>Resellers can add filters (allow, deny, regexp, score tweaks, etc) which are then processed for every domain in their account. Resellers are also able to set 'domain defaults' for filtering, attachment blocks, &amp; language restrictions. This is extremely useful for MSP's where each onboard involves loading up the same rulesets over and over. Now, just set it once at the reseller level, and all domains automatically benefit.</p>

<p>You can check <a href="https://mxfilter.namecrane.org" rel="nofollow">https://mxfilter.namecrane.org</a> to see how the branding looks. There is multiple pre-set palettes (tailwindcss) available that should cover most companies. Let us know if you're wanting us to add others!</p>

<p>Check them out here:</p>

<a href="https://files.namecrane.com/franexperts/e8SFa8n.png" rel="nofollow">https://files.namecrane.com/franexperts/e8SFa8n.png</a></p>

<h1>Multiple regions</h1>

<p>We've added additional regions for filtering redundancy:</p>

<ul>
<li>Las Vegas</li>
<li>Netherlands (technically NEW, will replace the existing UK node)</li>
<li>New York - NEW</li>
<li>Singapore - NEW</li>
</ul>

<p>Las Vegas, Netherlands &amp; New York are IPV6 enabled for inbound mail with Singapore pending a BGP prefix update.</p>

<p>Depending on demand we'll add another server in Europe (Germany, France, Poland, Romania, something EEA) for redundancy for those that want to operate 'Europe Only' emailing.</p>

<h1>Will this replace SpamExperts?</h1>

<p>In time, most likely. While SpamExperts does a decent job with filtering, its fairly fragile and quite frustrating to administer. We've had no less than 5 multi hour outages on the platform in the past 6 months. Something had to give since they've not been interested in fixing the issues.</p>

<h1>What does it look like?</h1>

<p>Here's some screenshots for you.</p>

<p><img src="https://files.namecrane.com/franexperts/jPx9rIc.png" alt="" /><br />
<img src="https://files.namecrane.com/franexperts/jpORNSY.png" alt="" /><br />
<img src="https://files.namecrane.com/franexperts/moQdTPB.png" alt="" /><br />
<img src="https://files.namecrane.com/franexperts/AM6w1VX.png" alt="" /></p>

<p>Again, you can view a branded page here: <a href="https://mxfilter.namecrane.org" rel="nofollow">https://mxfilter.namecrane.org</a></p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>ForwardEmail.net looks pretty promising privacy wise but most of their website seems to be AI-generated with lots of "bullet point summaries", tables, paragraphs like you'd expect from a ChatGPT response. Even their <a rel="nofollow" href="https://forwardemail.net/technical-whitepaper.pdf">technical whitepaper</a> looks like it's been written with a LLM and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://forwardemail.net/en/blog/docs/privacy-first-ai-customer-support-agent-lancedb-ollama-nodejs">their support boils down to an AI chatbot</a>.</p>

<p>There's also CodaMail.com but they don't offer unlimited aliases, are more expensive and they too have mostly AI-generated content, it's even made their way to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://codamail.com/mail/">their webmail login page</a> which has a weird image of an elephant. That said I've been in touch with their support and they are very responsive and helpful (humans).</p>

<p>Unlimited aliases and not being locked into an ecosystem like Proton or Tuta's are a must for me, so I guess I'll have to forget about having a somewhat encrypted mailbox and go with either Fastmail or Soverin, unless anyone has other recommendations?</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys</p>

<p>Quick question on what is actually considered "fair share" of CPU on a shared VPS.</p>

<p>Obviously it depends on the provider policy, but let’s say they are a budget provider and they just have some generic “no 24/7 use, no heavy use, …” terms.</p>

<p>If you need to run a continuous background workload, what % of your allocated compute do you expect to use for long periods without getting throttled?</p>

<p>I've seen people in old threads say 50% average load is fine. Even there is this thread from 2016: <a href="https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/73738/what-does-fair-share-cpu-usage-means" rel="nofollow">https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/73738/what-does-fair-share-cpu-usage-means</a>. It gives me the impression they were much more lenient about it back then.</p>

<p>So, what’s the real rule of thumb you would stick to?</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I am exposing CloudCone for blatant fraud, specification cheating, and refusing to honor their 7-day money-back guarantee.</p>

<ol>
<li>Hardware Scam: I purchased a 3 vCPU plan, but the actual instance only has 2 vCPUs. This is a clear case of false advertising and hardware mismatch.</li>
<li>Long-term Ghosting: I requested a refund under their 7-day guarantee (Ticket #7216282) 8 days ago (on May 25th). Their support team has completely ignored me and gone silent for over a week.</li>
<li>Payment Gateway Alert: Alipay (China's largest payment platform) has already officially sustained my fraud report against CloudCone LLC due to their severe violations.</li>
</ol>

<p>I am warning the LET community: Do NOT trust them. They will take your money, deliver fake specs, and ghost you for over 8 days when you ask for a valid refund.</p>

<p><a href="https://lowendtalk.com/profile/CloudCone" rel="nofollow">@CloudCone</a> check my ticket #7216282 and process my full refund immediately. I will not close this thread until it's resolved.<br />
(I have all screenshots of the 2 vCPU spec and the Alipay fraud ruling as proof)</p>

        <title>nerdbench - open source, single-binary CPU benchmark</title>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Introducing nerdbench, a simple open-source alternative to Geekbench</p>

<p>It does the boring job of benchmarking a machine's CPU. it's packaged into a <strong>single binary</strong> just like geekbench.</p>

<p>It's basically a wrapper around a range of handpicked benchmarks from different categories in the Phoronix test suite. The standard run profile finishes in under 5 minutes, but you can fully customize the runtime. The full source and build pipeline are in the Github repo.</p>

<p>Rationale - after the various Geekbench outages and intermittent upload errors over the last few months, I wanted to put together an open-source alternative that "just works"  locally. Plus, I dislike how the free version forces you to upload benchmarks to their site. It's unreliable (as already shown), and is just bad unnecessary telemetry. So, Nerdbench works entirely offline.</p>

<p>Despite the name, it's obviously not a full replacement for Geekbench. But for the average guy who gets a new box and wants to test the CPU, it's likely enough. (And it's faster, since you can customize the run time)</p>

<p>Of course, I realize this is probably not of interest. I'm just putting it up here.<br />
Some things are not yet set up or documented fully. For example, only x86_64 binary is available. I'll finish it soon.</p>

<p>Disclosure, maybe important to you: LLM did the bulk of the work here. Mostly, it handled routine tasks like getting each project to compile and stitching things together. There is almost no logical complexity to the project, as it's all on top of existing libraries and test suites.</p>

<p>drop your thoughts or run results below…?</p>

<hr />

<p>Run it with</p>

<pre><code>wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/XInTheDark/nerdbench/main/scripts/bench.sh
bash bench.sh
</code></pre>

<p>(there is also one liner, but on LET it is of course blocked)</p>

<p><strong>Please inspect the source before you run!</strong> The whole project is transparent so I highly encourage you to audit it</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://host-c.com/assets/img/logo.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<p>Hy fellas,</p>

<p>Started this as it was time we had 1 thread for all HOST-C stuff related.</p>

<p>Welcome all, trolling, memes or whatever is allowed, heck, even welcomed <img src="https://lowendtalk.com/resources/emoji/smiley.png" title="=)" alt="=)" height="20" /> . All in the limits of <strong>LET</strong> Rules <img src="https://lowendtalk.com/resources/emoji/tongue.png" title=":p" alt=":p" height="20" /></p>

<p>Next..</p>

<p>I will start with a thank you for choosing HOST-C.</p>

<p>Here is an insight for the first part of 2025:</p>

<pre><code>Another Payment Gateway ( no crypto, at least for the first part of 2025 )
Captcha - a more normal version then the one currently used
rDNS in User Panel
A new location for IPV6 only deals + a new location for higher speeds
TOS will get some updates - these will be sent out via e-mail to all customers
A decent website
A lot of tweeks in products, pricing and product flexibility
Dyson Sphere will be made a always available product ( well, as much as possible / location )
</code></pre>

<p>Now, for the rest of 2024, we will do some minor tweaks to server performance, might have to take a few nodes or VPS offline for a few minutes, as CPU or RAM is not hot-swap capable.</p>

<p><strong>I wish to underline to everyone that we are no DMCA ignore</strong>, that term is pretty widely interpreted as PORN, Shady Stuff over the internet and other, some might got this idea as I am from Romania and some of my fella providers endorsed this type of activity in the past or still do, <strong>I will gladly disappoint some in this statement</strong>. Whatever you publish must follow this rule, whatever you store, that is not our business.</p>

<p>Short version of TOS can be found here, each subject has a revision number and date when it was published, as we update it, version number changes so is the date.</p>

<p><a href="https://host-c.com/knowledgebase/2/Terms-and-Services" rel="nofollow">https://host-c.com/knowledgebase/2/Terms-and-Services</a></p>

<p>I wish to thank those that trusted/trust us with whatever data they have ( regardless of the type <img src="https://lowendtalk.com/resources/emoji/smiley.png" title="=)" alt="=)" height="20" /> ) .</p>

<p>Get your self prepared, more to come.</p>

<p>As usual, if you have any questions, shoot.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I need a reliable US-based hosting provider (VPS) to scrape schedule information from DAZN.</p>

<p>The main challenge is that DAZN aggressively blocks standard datacenter IP ranges, major hosting providers, and commercial proxies.</p>

<p>My Requirements:</p>

<pre><code>Network: Highly stable with solid uptime and 1gbps network speed.
</code></pre>

<p>Trial would be appreciated so I can test whether the hosting works for my case. Thanks.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>VPS got moved around and renumbered. No big deal, but I'll need to fix the static network config. VNC not working? Ok, rescue it is. And rescue worked--nice! Wait, it's ZFS root. Lucky for me, rescue came up with 8 GB of ram...but only 2 GB of disk. Not enough to do the DKMS dance. WIth a little AI help, I managed to get a tmpfs going, DKMS built, and then kexec into the new kernel--modprobe zfs ok!</p>

<p>Well, why can't it import the pool? Spec the device node directly--still no joy?!</p>

<p>Surely I didn't forget it was ZFS! Try mounting it as ext4--yep!</p>

<p>Ok, so I killed an hour building zfs inside the rescue system for no reason. But now I can fix my network config. Wait, where's /etc/network/interfaces? WTF?</p>

<p>Fire up midnight commander so I can browse around easier, and I'm not seeing /home/pwned?! There's a /home/someone_else_not_me?! I don't even think this disk is debian, and I know it ain't mine.</p>

<p>All that work for naught because I guess someone swapped the chickens around. I've been playing VPS in the low-end world a long time now, and I can't say this has ever happened to me before.</p>

<p>Now I wonder if someone has my disk and can't get it to mount, too? ;-)</p>

<p>Gullo (Hetzner)<br />
Upcloud (own DC)</p>

<p><strong>Unclear if qualify</strong><br />
Godlike (under $3 plan is just a promotion that does not renew)<br />

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I recall reading a post on LowEndTalk where someone tested providers' IP ranges to check if they were clean/not blacklisted. Could someone share how to perform these checks? I'd like to verify the IP ranges from some lesser-known providers I've recently purchased from.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

Hello <a href="https://lowendtalk.com/profile/everyone" rel="nofollow">@everyone</a></p>

<p>I just wanted to send a message and say a big thank you to each and everyone of you.</p>

<p>I have unfortunately left VeloxMedia and VeloxMedia is now under new management. I’m unsure if they will use the discord but it’s worth sticking around incase they do.</p>

<p>You will be well looked after because the new owners have many years of experience within the hosting industry and look forward to meeting you all 😊</p>

<p>Thanks again and all the best.</p>

<p>Please note: any private messages regarding support, VeloxMedia etc will be ignored from me as I no longer have access to any systems.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Missed the new provider's €5 deal last time and they hiked the price after. (Hope they're not a new "summer host", oh well, it's summer now, but I didn't buy it so even if they are, it's not my problem lol) So how do you guys find these VPS deals the moment they drop? Not talking about the constant fake "deals" some keep spamming—yeah, you know who you are.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I've been with HostSlick for quite some time, been renewing my custom VPS since 2021 and had various other VPS and Dedicated server with them, never had any bigger issues. Seems like it got handed over to new owner recently (or  not so recently?).</p>

<p>My 2021 VPS out of a sudden disappeared from Virtualizor, but still marked as active in WHMCS and it's completely unreachable. Seems like they take quite some time to answer tickets too now, been waiting for ~24 hours already, no reply. I'm not searching for premium support, I'm totally fine with waiting for couple hours for normal response, but something else must be going on with them.</p>

<p>Anyone had similar issue recently?<br />
Unfortunately this is the end for me with this provider.</p>

<h2>Notes</h2>

<ul>

<li>NO support will be provided directly, all help requests must be posted here in this thread.</li>
<li>No Backups are done on our side, disks are running in RAID0 YOLO mode.</li>
<li>There is no term guarantee.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>

<p>Q: Is the VPS service truly free?<br />
A: Yes, it is. We operate solely on the generous donations provided by our sponsors.</p>

<p>Q: Do you monitor or sell my data?<br />
A: Absolutely not. Your activities on your VPS are completely private. However, if we notice excessive CPU usage or constant port blasting, it may lead to the involcuration of your VPS.</p>

<p>Q: I don't meet the eligibility requirements. Will I receive a VPS if I make a donation?<br />
A: No, donations are intended solely to enhance the resources of your VPS and do not bypass the eligibility requirements.</p>

<p>Q: Why are there recurring fees of $199/$99? Doesn't that contradict the "free" aspect?<br />
A: These fees are in place to discourage idle usage of the VPS. When your VPS is initially deployed, we add credits to your account, which can be utilized to renew your VPS tenure.</p>

<p>Q: Can I migrate my VPS to another location?<br />
A: Yes, in most cases, we allow transfers. It is advisable to back up your data before making a transfer request.</p>

<p>Q: What are the specifications for Tokyo?<br />
A: Please refer to the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3655681/#Comment_3655681">TYO announcement post.</a> The Tokyo location operates on a donation-only basis due to limited resources and to prevent abuse.</p>

<p>Q: How long does it take to deploy my VPS?<br />
A: Please allow up to 3 days for VPS deployment. FreeVPS is managed by volunteers, and deployments are carried out on a best-effort basis. However, we make every effort to deploy VPS instances on the same day of the request. If your VPS has not been deployed within a week of your request, feel free to follow up on your request.</p>

<p>Q: I don't meet the requirements. Is there any way to obtain a free VPS?<br />
A: If your post history demonstrates exceptional contributions and meaningful engagement within the community, we may consider making an exception and provision a free VPS for you.</p>

<p>Q: Can I make a donation to a local charity?<br />
A: Of course! You can contribute to any charity worldwide using any currency. However, it is preferable if the donation amount is equivalent to or exceeds 5 USD. If your donation receipt is not in English, please provide a translation with it. Furthermore, we kindly request that the receipt demonstrates a recent donation made within the last three months.</p>

<p>Q: Can I redeem the credits in USD?<br />
A: Sure, just put a request in the thread. /s</p>

        <title>Looking for Testers – HestiaCP Reseller Hosting Plugin</title>
        <link>https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/217867/looking-for-testers-hestiacp-reseller-hosting-plugin</link>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>i developed a reseller hosting plugin for HestiaCP  to add  a reseller functionality while maintaining the simplicity and lightweight nature of HestiaCP.</p>

<p>The project will be published on GitHub soon and public testing is  to begin on 6 June 2026 <br />
<strong>How It Works</strong><br />
The plugin introduces a reseller layer between the server administrator and hosting customers:</p>

<p>Administrator → Reseller → Hosting Customers</p>

<p>The server administrator creates reseller plans with limits such as maximum customers, pooled disk space, bandwidth allocation and allowed hosting packages <br />
Resellers receive their own control panel login and can create and manage hosting customers.<br />
Customer accounts remain standard HestiaCP users behind the scenes ensuring compatibility with existing HestiaCP functionality.</p>

<p>Resellers can optionally create their own hosting packages and assign them to customers.</p>

<p>The aim is to provide full reseller hosting capabilities without replacing HestiaCP or requiring a separate control panel.</p>

<p>Testing is planned for VPS and lab environments before wider production deployment.</p>

<p>Feedback is welcome on:</p>

<p>Installation process<br />
Functionality and stability<br />
Security<br />
User experience<br />
Feature requests</p>

<p>The GitHub repository and testing instructions will be shared when public testing begins on 6 June 2026.</p>

<p>Anyone interested in participating in testing is welcome to reply below or send a private message.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>We have been working on building a control panel for proxmox clusters that is aimed towards service providers who need multi tenant/users, multi cluster, all managed from 1 web based control panel.</p>

<p>We have been running this panel for our own VM clients and we are constantly adding features and tweaks. So I thought why not share it with people who may also be looking for the same solution.</p>

<p>Features that are built in:</p>

<p>. Multi isolated tenants<br />
. Multi Cluster<br />
. Live and Offline migration <br />
. Cloud-init template builder <br />
. VM Statistics<br />
. VDC (Virtual Data Center) build and sell VMs within the VDC limits.<br />
and a lot more..</p>

<p>We would like to invite people to try out the panel with a full unlimited installation free of charge.</p>

<p>We would like to hear feedback and feature suggestions.</p>

<p>Only need a small VM to run this panel on and it communicates with proxmox clusters via API.</p>

        <title>[Avoid] PerfectIP - Stealth 30% Price Hike with ZERO Notice on BF Deals</title>
        <link>https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/217327/avoid-perfectip-stealth-30-price-hike-with-zero-notice-on-bf-deals</link>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I want to warn the community about <strong>Perfect International, Inc (PerfectIP)</strong> and their predatory business tactics. If you are considering their services, please read this first.</p>

<h3>The Situation</h3>

<p>I have a Black Friday 2025 server (<strong>AMD EPYC 7452, 32 Cores</strong>) for <strong>$99.99/mo</strong>. On May 10, I received an invoice for the original $99.99. On May 15—just 2 days before the due date—they stealthily changed the EXACT SAME invoice to <strong>$129.99</strong>.</p>

<h3>ZERO NOTICE</h3>

<p>There was absolutely no email announcement or 30-day warning. They just edited the active invoice <strong>48 hours before the deadline</strong>.</p>

<h3>The "Insulting" Solution</h3>

<p>When I complained, they refused to honor the original price and tried to upsell me to a "cheaper alternative": an <strong>AMD EPYC 7443P (24 Cores)</strong> for <strong>$119.99</strong>.</p>

<h3>The Math</h3>

<ul>
<li><strong>My current deal:</strong> 32 Cores @ $99.99</li>
<li><strong>Their "solution":</strong> 24 Cores @ $119.99</li>
</ul>

<p>They are asking me to pay <strong>$20 MORE</strong> per month for <strong>8 FEWER cores</strong> (a 25% spec downgrade). This is a textbook "Bait and Switch." They lure you in with BF deals and then hike the price less than 6 months later without warning.</p>

<h3>Timeline of Events</h3>

<ul>
<li><p><strong>May 10:</strong> Received initial invoice #6505-5648478 for <strong>$99.99</strong>.<br />
<img src="https://i.ibb.co/LDbW04W3/2026-05-16-145059.png" alt="Initial Invoice" /></p></li>
<li><p><strong>May 15:</strong> Received a payment reminder, but the amount was stealthily changed to <strong>$129.99</strong> on the SAME invoice.<br />
<img src="https://i.ibb.co/KjCwRFvs/2026-05-16-145111.png" alt="Stealth Hike" /></p></li>
<li><p><strong>May 16 (Today):</strong> Received their support response—confirming the 30% hike and trying to upsell me to a downgraded 24-core plan for $119.99.<br />
<img src="https://i.ibb.co/hRS83wMB/2026-05-16-145126.png" alt="Support Response" /></p></li>
<li><p><strong>May 17 (Tomorrow):</strong> <strong>DUE DATE.</strong></p></li>
</ul>

<p>They waited until <strong>24 hours before the deadline</strong> to give me a final refusal, leaving me with zero time to migrate my data. This is a hostage tactic to force a payment.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://lowendtalk.com/profile/perfectip" rel="nofollow">@perfectip</a></strong> I expect you to honor the original agreement of $99.99 for this Black Friday promotional plan.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, so I wanted to make this post talking about a really terrible host Backyard Bandwidth.</p>

<p>They essentially, had been a "okay" host, self hosted, manual VPS activation, really just a hobby host, but people liked the residential IP factor.</p>

<p>Now, some random guy on X made a token on Backyard Bandwidth (unaffiliated), which earned BB 50-70k in creator fees for nothing - they then took over this new hype, started a actually investing this money into bigger rug pools (some AI thing etc).</p>

<p>Search on X to find posts like this lol: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/Rkd7dht3/image.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<p>The guy called Teriuki or whatever, claiming he bought BB hardware, its funny, because that guy, alongside the other guy who now runs Traceix and previously Malcore going off to do rugpools for a living, the terikuki guy actually owned BB alongside malcore guy.</p>

<p>Essentially, they got bad rep, and want to rebrand to recover. <a href="https://computus.io/" rel="nofollow">https://computus.io/</a> - absolute scam.</p>

<p>Prior to the rug pool, this was being promoted by all their accounts: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/DDXRbJxd/image.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<p>It makes sense Internet 2.0 wanted nothing to do with this bunch</p>

        <title>What Do You Think About the Rust Programming Language?</title>
        <link>https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/217709/what-do-you-think-about-the-rust-programming-language</link>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I needed to write a utility for my own use and decided to try out Rust, since all the cool kids are using it.</p>

<p>I found it a nice language to work in.</p>

<p>I've seen a lot of comments about how Rust's memory management, ownership, borrowing, etc. was hard to wrap your brain around but as an old-time C programmer, I'm used to pointers, referencers, stack, heap, etc. so I didn't find these topics at all challenging.  You learn a few rules and that's it.  Explicitly marking variables as mut is nice.</p>

<p>I think if you were coming from something like JavaScript, then yes, Rust would be mind-blowing.  Coming from C or golang or both in my case, Rust is more of a different dialect than a whole new world.</p>

<p>I remember a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jwz.org/doc/java.html" title="comment from jwz about Java">comment from jwz about Java</a> years ago:</p>

<p>"Java doesn't have free().  I have to admit right off that, after that, all else is gravy. That one point makes me able to forgive just about anything else, no matter how egregious."</p>

<p>I agree - manual memory management is a pain point I prefer to avoid.</p>

<p>The println! macro is quite nice, as it catches printf issues at compile-time rather than run-time.  The more I've programmed, the more I've appreciated this approach (and statically typed languages in general for this reason).</p>

<p>I haven't gotten into async stuff yet, but perception is that golang is more pleasant for that, given that it's an add-on to Rust.  Rust does tend to make big binaries like golang, but not so big that I remotely care.</p>

<p>I was surprised that std is so poor.  For example, no random number generator.  If you want that, you need to use the rand crate, which is third party.  Seems like a lot of things are third-party crates, which in this age of supply chain attacks, makes me nervous.</p>

<p>My code is probably not idiomatically correct at this point and it was just an initial project, which I could have written in Python or golang.  But I think I'll play with Rust more going forward.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Heads up for anyone running cPanel &amp; WHM environments -- you may want to temporarily block ports 2083/2087 ASAP.</p>

<p>We've already implemented this across our shared/reseller hosting fleet as a precaution.</p>

<p>cPanel has today disclosed a critical authentication-related vulnerability affecting all supported versions, and as of now, no patch is available yet.</p>

<p>Official advisory from cPanel: <a href="https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/40073787579671-Critical-Vulnerability-with-cPanel-WHM-Login-Authentication" rel="nofollow">https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/40073787579671-Critical-Vulnerability-with-cPanel-WHM-Login-Authentication</a></p>

<blockquote><div>
  <p>Description<br />
  A critical vulnerability was recently identified in the cPanel software regarding an authentication login exploit. This affects all currently supported versions of cPanel.</p>
  
  <p>Workaround<br />
  Currently, we are actively building a patch for all supported versions of cPanel/WHM to address this and ensure the integrity of the cPanel product.</p>
  
  <p>In the meantime, using a firewall to block access to TCP ports 2083/2087 will prevent unauthorized access, but would also restrict all other access to the control panel as well. This is currently the best option to secure your servers until the patch is ready.</p>
  
  <p>If you are utilizing an unsupported version of cPanel, it is strongly recommended that you update to a supported build as soon as possible, as it is likely also affected. This way, you can receive the patch as soon as it's available.</p>

        <title>RackNerd forced DC migration, refused prorated refund.</title>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I’ve been a RackNerd customer for years and was generally satisfied with their service until this recent forced migration situation.</p>

<p>I purchased a VPS in their Los Angeles DC02 location and prepaid/renewed the service through 2028.<br />
Recently, RackNerd informed customers that DC02 would be shut down and migrated everyone to  DC03.<br />
i already separately purchased another DC03 service from them. to support them.<br />
So now I effectively lost the DC02 service I paid for, and ended up with two DC03 services instead — which is not what I originally purchased.<br />
I requested a prorated refund or account credit for the remaining prepaid value of the original DC02 service, since RackNerd can no longer provide the service/location I originally bought.</p>

<p>Their response was basically:</p>

<ul>
<li>“No refunds for renewals”</li>
<li>“Migration is required”</li>
<li>“IP changes are expected”</li>
</ul>

<p>I understand providers can have datacenter issues or operational changes.<br />
But forcing a location migration while refusing any prorated compensation for long-term prepaid customers feels unreasonable.<br />
so we have to take whatever the shit <a href="https://lowendtalk.com/profile/racknerd" rel="nofollow">@racknerd</a> you give. right?</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I've had a 1U hobby server colocated with Interconnecx (<a href="https://www.incx.net/" rel="nofollow">https://www.incx.net/</a>) since 2024 — found them through a recommendation here and have generally been happy with the service. That changed recently when I noticed my PayPal auto-pay jumped from $50 to $54/month with no explanation.</p>

<p>Digging into the invoices, I found they added a flat $4.00 "PayPal payment fee" as a line item. A few problems with this:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>No advance notice. I only discovered it after paying two months at the higher rate. When I asked them to show me the WHMCS mass-email notification they sent customers about this change, they couldn't — because it appears none was sent.</p></li>
<li><p>I never agreed to it. PayPal had no surcharge when I signed up.</p></li>
<li>The math doesn't add up. PayPal's actual processing fees are ~3% max. On a $50 invoice that's ~$1.50. They're charging $4.00 — that's 8% of my monthly bill, more than double what they're actually paying.</li>
</ol>

<p>When I pushed back, they essentially said the fee is non-negotiable and that I'm welcome to cancel — with unspecified fees to pack and ship my server back.</p>

<p>I've decided to stay since the colo itself is solid and I rarely need support, but this felt like a shady way to run a business. I ended up switching to Zelle to avoid the surcharge entirely.</p>

<p>Has anyone else with Interconnecx run into this? Curious if this was applied across the board or targeted at specific accounts.</p>

<p>I have two reseller accounts with NameCrane. One of them has been working fine, but the other one has started having intermittent availability issues.</p>

<p>Websites under that reseller account become unreachable from time to time, then usually come back online after 1-2 hours without any action from my side.</p>

<p>Has anyone else experienced intermittent downtime or unreachable websites on NameCrane reseller hosting recently?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I'm looking for a solid KVM VPS (or small dedicated server) in either Europe or the US, with a budget of around $180–$240 per year.</p>

<p>It needs to be high-spec enough to comfortably run a production application stack plus several client websites.<br />
My #1 priority is rock-solid uptime and network stability. I’m only interested in serious, established providers with a strong track record, ideally with a proper 99.9%+ SLA and clean, reputable IP space (no spamhaus-listed or sketchy networks).</p>

<p>Any recommendations on what I can realistically get in that price range these days? Or which providers you’d trust for production workloads?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Just wanted to say thank you to <a href="https://lowendtalk.com/profile/tpoll" rel="nofollow">@tpoll</a> and Server host for organizing this giveaway. Also thanks to LET and LEB communities, I probably would never have found this opportunity without them.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey all, I recently started working on a new network testing service called Globalping and wanted to gather some feedback before it goes into a beta state.</p>

<p>You might be familiar with my previous work at perfops/dnsperf/cdnperf. Unfortunately those services were commercial with VC backing and inevitably they failed.</p>

<p>Yet I still think that there is a place for such a service, but this time without the limitations that come with a for-profit company. Specifically:</p>

<ul>
<li>Free*</li>
<li>Open source</li>
<li>Superb user experience</li>
</ul>

<p>I am aware that RIPE Atlas also exists but I never was a big fan of it. I believe we can build a nice competitor with modern technologies, a better API, improved UX and move and iterate much faster without the bureaucracy of such large organizations. At the end of the day the more competition the better for the user.</p>

<p><strong>It consists of a few components:</strong></p>

<p>The API itself that users will use to interact with the network. We will build a large amount of tools as well, so no need for everyone to interact with the REST API itself - <a href="https://github.com/jsdelivr/globalping" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jsdelivr/globalping</a></p>

<p>The probe container. The code that connects to the API and waits for commands to execute - <a href="https://github.com/jsdelivr/globalping-probe" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jsdelivr/globalping-probe</a></p>

<p>Explore it all now <a href="https://github.com/jsdelivr#the-globalping-platform" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jsdelivr#the-globalping-platform</a></p>

<p><strong>Current status:</strong></p>

<ul>
<li>Lots of testing and building based on previous experience and assumptions</li>
<li>The backend is in place and working. We have around 450 online probes ready to run tests</li>
<li>The website is in progress, we have a designer preparing the first web tools</li>
<li>The CLI tool doesn't have a dev yet but its a high priority</li>
<li>Firmware for hardware probes is being tested. Hardware probes are a fun project that I hope will motivate people to become GitHub Sponsors to get a cool metal ARM device.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Why this time it wont fail:</strong></p>

<p>This time it's being launched as a project of jsDelivr, a CDN that has existing for 10 years now, used by millions of people daily. There is no pressure of x10 growth year after year and we will rely on the community to help us out.</p>

<p>Instead of renting thousands of VMs we will seed the network and will work with sponsors and regular users to get as many people as possible to run our probes in the networks they have access. e.g. own VMs or home labs.</p>

<p>We will offer very generous free plans but will also introduce limits that can be bypassed by becoming a GitHub Sponsor <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/jsdelivr" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sponsors/jsdelivr</a></p>

<p>This way we hope to motivate people to directly contribute to the development of all of our projects and help us sustain our activities.</p>

<p><strong>Demo and testing</strong></p>

<p>The system is in alpha state, stuff will break and APIs will change, I want to gather as much feedback as possible early-on while we can still make huge changes without impacting any real users.</p>

<p>Simple demo by devs for devs (designs are coming soon) - <a href="https://api.globalping.io/demo/" rel="nofollow">https://api.globalping.io/demo/</a></p>

<p>Check out the "magic" location type too. You can enter almost anything in there and get an output. e.g. hetzner, germany, california, eastern europe...</p>

<p>I invite everyone to join our GitHub projects and open issues with ideas, bugs, feedback and command on existing issues.</p>

<p>TL:DR: I made a new service that runs ping/mtr/traceroute/dns/http commands from globally distributed probes. It's in alpha state, please test <img src="https://lowendtalk.com/resources/emoji/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="20" /> <a href="https://github.com/jsdelivr#the-globalping-platform" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jsdelivr#the-globalping-platform</a></p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

I noticed that the database takes time to load now which is why I was planning to upgrade. i was on free plan. Should I use self host on OVH with coolify or just upgrade with supabase? which will be faster. The plans of supabase are super expensive for the amount of resources (2GB Ram, 2 ARM cores) vs OVH vps half the price and 12gb ram, 6 shared cores.</p>

<p>Edit: I am already hosting my React + NextJS site on OVH with coolify.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://lowendtalk.com/profile/Murv" rel="nofollow">@Murv</a> wanted to hear your thoughts regarding it given that you are from Iran.</p>

<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/@netblocks/116642131173028444" rel="nofollow">https://mastodon.social/@netblocks/116642131173028444</a></p>

<p>From the mastodon:</p>

<p>🫶 Welcome back #Iran! Metrics show a further rise in connectivity as mobile networks and other segments are reconnected to the global internet:</p>

<p>• Filternet remains in place but can be worked around<br />
• WhatsApp now restricted, requiring circumvention<br />
• Some users still offline</p>

<p><img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/642/121/233/619/177/original/fc030627e174f39a.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<p>Also quick question but which VPS's are being able to be connected to and from Iran now?</p>

<p>Is every VPS back online which previously worked in Iran or what exactly, I think it would be interesting to know and I think that VPS's might be used for bypassing any circumvention. Not sure about the details themselves or the ground situation of Iran at the moment but just wanted to ask this question.</p>

<p>Anyways, this seems like a good news for the people of Iran. Hopefully the network stays this way and doesn't get cut again or something similar.</p>

  <p>Hi everyone,</p>
  
  <p>We are currently moving to a new datacenter to improve service quality and uptime. Although this was planned for next week, our on-site team had to proceed earlier than expected and the migration is already underway.</p>
  
  <p>We understand the disruption and sincerely apologize. Services should be restored progressively throughout the day.</p>
  
  <p>All affected services will receive a 1-week billing extension.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your patience and understanding.</p>
</div></blockquote>

<p>This was a planned datacenter move next week that emergency moved up to yesterday, but with no notice to customers?</p>

<p>I went back to the thread to ask questions but it was mysteriously closed thus I was forced to create a new topic to discuss the mysterious planned but unannounced downtime that was emergency moved up to yesterday.</p>

<p>Are we sure this was planned?</p>

        <title>Disappointed Experience with ProxyWing Support and Region Switch Request</title>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I purchased a US IP from ProxyWing for testing purposes. Around the same time, our company purchased a large batch of US IPs from another provider, so this IP was no longer needed.</p>

<p>I first requested a refund, but support said refunds were not possible. I then asked if they could simply switch the IP to another region instead.</p>

<p>Instead of handling the request directly, support repeatedly asked me why I wanted to switch regions, even after I had already explained the situation multiple times. They then asked me to provide proof that my company had purchased a large batch of IPs elsewhere.</p>

<p>This is obviously confidential business information, and I do not believe such a request is reasonable for a simple region switch on an unused service.</p>

<p>I understand that providers may have strict refund policies, but the overall communication experience was extremely frustrating and unnecessarily difficult. This has been one of the worst customer support experiences I have had with a proxy provider.</p>

        <title>Jabali Panel – Open Source (GPL) Hosting Control Panel – Looking for Testers &amp; Contributors</title>
        <link>https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/216063/jabali-panel-open-source-gpl-hosting-control-panel-looking-for-testers-contributors</link>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I’d like to share a project I’ve been working on: <a href="https://github.com/shukiv/jabali-panel" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/shukiv/jabali-panel</a></p>

<p>What is Jabali Panel?<br />
Jabali is a hosting control panel built by a sysadmins for sysadmins.<br />
It doesn't abstract your server into a black box. It's a UI layer on top of standard Linux services and a real CLI — so when something breaks at 3am, you can still <code>grep</code> the logs and fix it yourself.</p>

<p>Jabali Panel is a 100% open source (GPL-3.0) web hosting control panel, currently in active development, and I’m looking for testers, contributors, and feedback from the community.</p>

<p>Feel free to roast me for this: Jabali is probably ~80% vibe coded.<br />
But honestly, if that approach is good enough for companies like Google and Meta, it’s good enough for me.</p>

<p>I’d genuinely love constructive criticism — that’s the whole point of posting here.<br />
If you have real feedback (even harsh), I’m all ears. If you’re just here to bash with no substance, I’ll probably ignore it.</p>

<p>Stack:<br />
FrankenPHP (panel web server, independent of nginx)<br />
Nginx (customer sites)<br />
MariaDB (+ optional PostgreSQL)<br />
Stalwart Mail Server (SMTP, IMAP, JMAP, ManageSieve — one binary, no Postfix/Dovecot mess)<br />
PowerDNS with DNSSEC<br />
Let’s Encrypt auto-SSL (issue + renew every 3h)<br />
Modsecurity + CrowdSec for security<br />
GoAccess for real-time stats<br />
And more..</p>

<p>For the customer:<br />
File manager, database manager, phpMyAdmin SSO<br />
WordPress one-click install + built-in page cache plugin<br />
Webmail (Bulwark JMAP client) with SSO<br />
Per-user PHP-FPM pools (dynamic / static / ondemand)<br />
SSH access via isolated nspawn containers per user<br />
Bandwidth + disk usage tracking</p>

<p>What makes it different?</p>

<p>CLI-first:<br />
Everything the panel does, you can do from the terminal:<br />
jabali user:create, jabali nginx:regenerate, jabali ssl:check<br />
The UI calls the same backend as the CLI — no hidden logic.</p>

<p>Agent architecture<br />
The panel itself never runs as root.<br />
A small agent handles privileged actions over a Unix socket.<br />
Addons just drop into /etc/jabali/agent.d/.</p>

<p>Modern stack, small footprint<br />
Laravel 12 + Filament v5 + Livewire.<br />
No Java, no Ruby, no Node runtime for the panel.<br />
Install with a single curl | bash on Debian/Ubuntu.</p>

<p>Mail done differently<br />
Uses Stalwart instead of Postfix + Dovecot.<br />
One Rust binary, fewer moving parts, fewer things to debug.</p>

<p>Transparent by default<br />
jabali logs:share collects configs, logs, SSL state, FPM pools, etc.<br />
Encrypted + tied to a ticket ID — no guesswork when debugging.</p>

<p>No lock-in:<br />
Standard nginx configs, standard FPM pools, standard certbot.<br />
Uninstall Jabali and your sites keep running.</p>

<p>What it’s NOT<br />
Not trying to be cPanel (no WHM, no licensing, no bloat)<br />
Not a Docker/orchestration platform<br />
Not “cloud native”</p>

<p>It’s for people running VPS/dedis who want a clean, predictable way to manage PHP/WordPress hosting.</p>

<p>Please note:<br />
Jabali is still actively developed.<br />
It's already used in real production environments for my clients.<br />
Expect rapid iteration and breaking changes until stable.</p>

<p>About me:<br />
I’ve been a sysadmin + developer in hosting for ~30 years.<br />
I’ve worked on real production systems and contributed to open-source projects like DTC (Domain Technologie Control).<br />
This project is basically the result of years of “why is every panel doing this wrong?” experience.</p>

<p>Give it a spin. I’d appreciate it if you gave it a try and let me know what breaks.</p>
