Shared Web Hosting Is Not Dead
Tags: cloud-computing, common-sense, cpanel, parallels, Programming, Rants, shared-hosting, web hosting, Xen
An old colleague of mine was telling me of his plans to finally, after almost fifteen years of working for someone else, start his own hosting venture. My first instinct was of course to offer this poor soul some Lithium, seeing that his existing salary as CTO is more than triple the amount of profit [...]

Does anyone still like configuring and building their own Linux kernels to taste? I do. Call me a nerd, but I actually enjoy spending countless hours slimming down my kernel so it has just enough support for my hardware, with modular support for anything that I might be inclined to plug in. No, the performance [...]

Tags: gridnix, hosting, iaas, Programming, Xen, xenstore
Despite standards, industry accepted best practices, free templates for planning networks and even common sense, not everyone can follow conventional wisdom when deploying a cloud. In fact, at least in my experience, the only times I have been able to do it ‘correctly from the start’ have been when I start completely from scratch. Most [...]

Tags: gnu linux, gridnix, tofu, web hosting, Xen
Enough procrastinating. I have been working on a Xen friendly operating system for several years, a lot of the time has been spent waiting to see what happened with pv_ops in mainline Linux. Two years later, we’re still waiting to see what happens to pv_ops in Mainline Linux. Everything else (such as the Xen API, [...]

In the world of Virtualization, introspection refers to examining the memory of a running guest from the privileged domain at key addresses.

Today marks the third time in one year that I’ve been bitten by someone else’s mistake. I’ve tried several `accounting as a service’ providers and should have learned my lesson after the first bad experience. I appreciate dynamic infrastructure as a service as much as the next person. I love using tools like Xen to [...]

Tags: productivity, Programming, ubuntu, work, Xen
Being over-loaded with work is a vicious cycle, especially when the work involves more maintenance than creativity. The cycle goes something like this: 15 things require immediate attention You give immediate attention to 15 things at once Despite the cycle of #1 and #2, #1 still persists at the end of the day Even if [...]

In case you did not notice, this site is now served by ezp.net. I moved Echoreply because my other network is undergoing drastic changes (all for the better), the problem is e-mail reliability. Even if I used Google for my domain e-mail (which I do not), having both DNS servers in one place was a [...]
