Where do you host your nameserver VPS?
Hello all,
I'd like to have opinions about where you're hosting the VPS of your nameservers.
I'm currently using ramhost.us, which is a portuguese company, but with the current ram and disk allocation (it's a KVM btw), cPanel is giving me a lot of errors.
As such, I'd like to know good offers for 1 US and 1 EU VPS, paid annually, able to do the job :-).
Comments
I usually prefer a real HA VPS for this, if it is supposed to be done the right way ofcourse.
Otherwise, go for BuyVM's with their Anycast
Well, I go with @Clouvider and @Quadhost for ours ;-)
For sure, however, we've invested quite a bit last 2 months... So we need to reduce some costs :P.
BuyVM sounds good, but I'll need annually offers, for a good price.
It's a great idea, but I need to seek for Clouvider offers, for nameservers we don't need a lot of CPU power, etc. :-)
How much memory do you need ?
512MB, to be safe, I have 256MB currently, in KVM, though.
Since when is RamHost portuguese?
RAM Host
721 Ritchey St
Gainesville, TX 76240
United States of America
+1-281-422-4370
Damnit, I apologize, been a client there for years, got confused!
@arubacloud (VMware) has 5 locations use 2 locations then you will have redundancy
1 Euro/month OR 12Euro/Year
if HA needed then @Clouvider but some what costly
I Don't host them my self i use CloudFlare for NS
Note:I host my email with them @arubacloud i never seen any outages
Thank you for your advice, I'll check those! :-)
@MrGeneral - wait few days for Rage4 birthday promo
It's for cPanel DNS Only, though, not sure I can use Rage4 with it?
@MrGeneral - you can do it via ModulesGarden cPanel module for Rage4 DNS
Ahhh, if that's free... Then that's pretty interesting. Is it possible to whitelabel the DNS servers?
Edit: Seen it, it's $40 one time fee, can't invest that much atm.
ginernet, OVH, CC VPS's
Nowhere, because I see no added value in putting effort in managing servers for this purpose while you can for example use https://dns.he.net/ for free (up to 50 domains)
@MrGeneral - yes, we offer both vanity NS and custom IPs
Thanks for your suggestions folks, will check all those.
Sure thing, just out of my budget right now
@gbhouse what kind of offer do you think is coming up in the birthday?
May want to take a look to NS1.com too.
Sure, pm me in Skype so we can discuss something as well.
@Chalipa - for sure some discount on PRO packages and Rage4 ANY
what difference will it have with the offer here https://prometeus.net/billing/cart.php?a=add&pid=96
isn't it pro and unlimited?
Nowhere, cloudflare is fine. I'm not sure yet how much US gov funding they get.
@Chalipa - not exactly, PRO allows you to resell/provide services to third party, Prometeus accounts are for internal personal/business use only (at least from our side)
Previously, I used one from BandwagonHost (NL) & one from GinerNet until it made problems with 5 GB Space. Then, I noticed lot of errors of low space then I moved it. Now, one VPS at Psychz DC through HostingBox & Another Dacentec, Looking for an EU option though. Anything 512 NB & min of 15 GB Space around $15/Yr.
Rage4 via Prometeus. The only basic infrastructure I choose to outsource. Insane value.
Oh, and grandfather-ed Google apps mail .
I'll get around to DiY mode once I have complete grip on the rest.
I just use my registrar's DNS
I've been using zonomi.com for 2 years now as DNS provider for all my domains without any issues at all, I do recommend!
I also use registrar DNS for some of My Domains however, OP says that he want to integrate his Hosting Clients Domains DNS. I don't think any Domain Registrar would allow that :P
Module is pretty terrible and screws up quite frequently with syncing and records. Doesn't support most of the new TLDs either. Also not much point in using a higher end DNS service like Rage4 if you can't use any of the cool features. On the plus side, iirc it was full-source so you could modify it as needed.
(this was as of a couple months ago. haven't tested recently)
I loved Rage4 while using it but the weird usage statistics (I was getting thousands of queries logged when there was no way I was getting nearly that much traffic) and the unflexible payment structure made me switch to DNSMadeEasy. (Jump from free tier to paid is way too large)
