Saw this on reddit, $1/month. Looks awesome for a BS personal site.

Still not bad

those guys also publish this site http://www.zfsbuild.com/ which is good if you're interested in solaris/zfs

11/3/2010 7:59:49 AM

yeah, this isn't a bad deal at all...i pay $50 year (prepaid for 2 years) "unlimited" everything with dreamhost, but i could easily host the majority of my sites on no support linux hosting and be fine

11/3/2010 9:16:39 AM

Seems to work OK, though I've never used cPanel and don't really know what I want to do with it.

11/3/2010 10:57:58 AM

Works well enough I suppose. Also makes for a cheap, reliable ssh tunnel.

11/3/2010 1:25:52 PM

Oh, do they allow that? Sweet. I was under the impression most hosts where you don't have root on a VPS didn't.

11/3/2010 1:36:01 PM

IIRC, No Support Linux Hosting is an AnandTech venture.

11/3/2010 2:38:22 PM

looks like they have AllowTcpForwarding off in their sshd_config, though I can't tell because I can't see it

11/3/2010 2:52:39 PM

It worked fine for me today. Tunneling right along.

11/3/2010 6:07:57 PM

Any special config? SOCKS5 tunnel?

Too bad I don't have anything to blog about

Using Bitvise Tunnelier for SOCKS5 + MM5 Proxy switcher in FF.

11/4/2010 12:58:42 PM

Ah, I don't know what that is. I've done it through my router at home before with cygwin/cygrunsrv/autossh. It was unbearably slow (thx, TWC) so I stopped. I also used firefox, but I just used the proxy config file (forget what it's called, it's javascript) to redirect non-internal links to my tunnel. Then you just set your SOCKS5 proxy in the FF network config. The problem I had was the tunneling ssh connection would go through, and then not work. A friend said he thinks this is what happened to him when his host had TCP forwarding disabled.

I missed this thread earlier ... looks like a great deal, and I've never used a web host's support before.

So is there a consensus that they are vetted and long-lasting, or is this just a trial-run for them? Google didn't turn up anything definitive.

^lol, I just read their FreeNAS comparison. This week I have run the gamut from a Ubuntu Server install to FreeNAS to OpenFiler to a ReadyNAS NV+ unit for roughly the same purpose - simple file protecting on a network. (Excel sheets and PDF's, nothing big, less than 10 users.)

While the NV+ was stupid easy to configure, I never could even get FreeNAS working right after over a day of configuring. It just hated my hardware (a standard P4 computer with 4 sata drives for the array and a single solid state drive for the boot.)

Just got the OpenFiler workin' like I want it to tonight and with 3 computers reading and writing async data it's transfer was averaging 96Mbit/s - almost saturated my test switch (it probably was saturated and just measurement error.) I was impressed - this was all happening while the RAID was in rebuild from me changing some settings. Very decent piece of software for sure. I'm going to simulate a drive failure tomorrow night and see how it recovers. Might be a new go-to when someone donates a little box.

11/5/2010 4:23:05 AM

opensolaris (well, openindiana now) is the way to go
COMSTAR + ZFS = love

if you want something a little easier to manage, look at nexentastor.

From Googling I saw several forum posts about their service from earlier this year, I think they launched in January but I could be misremembering.

One time we went to waffle house and met a crazy man with an Eminem cassette tape (I know, right?)

11/5/2010 10:33:28 AM

signed up for this as well. pretty sweet deal but you also need to factor in domain registrar costs, since they dont offer domain registration (unless i missed something). never used cPanel before but looks simple enough to set stuff up

i've only ever been with dreamhost and paying so little for webhosting rocks. just hope their uptime is better (and they don't "accidentally" charge my credit card 3 times to "automatically" renew my hosting )

no...i'm about 11 months into a 24-month contract, so no worries for a while

11/5/2010 4:56:26 PM

just wait til you're up for renewal. it won't be $50/yr then

11/5/2010 5:46:55 PM

speaking of, time to cancel dreamhost

Did anyone notice that their signup page has a ".aspx" extension, and is therefore most likely running on a MSFT server?

11/5/2010 7:33:11 PM

Choose your own burn:

1. Good catch! I don't notice stuff like that as often since I lost my virginity.

2. Did anyone else notice that this n00b got trolled by a file extension?
