I requested Colin, CEO HazeNet to put 8 cores on my VPS so that I can do a full scale benchmark, the result came close to 3100. Pretty good for a non empty server.

Hence I thought I need NAGIOS, I got it installed on the already 128MB small XEN PV VPS from QuickWeb (because it has great uptime). So when NAGIOS was finally up and running, I started asking Rus about Why there was a downtime etc. Here is a screenshot of the entire thread (click on the following image to enlarge).

Later, I activated Referral Affiliates program (in WHMCS) and got a $60 commission pending payment. Here is a screenshot of my Affiliates program status (click on the following image to enlarge).

Suddenly, last week, I got an email from Rus Foster, asking possession for a certain domain in exchange for a 6 month free hosting of the lowest VPS plan. I refused and told him I am not interested. Rus counter-offered with 1 year worth of hosting, I had to refuse again since free VPS hosting is not what I wanted. It did not appeal to me either because I was already getting $60 in affiliate commission every month WHY would It appeal me? Then comes the worst part, Rus told me he would have to terminate my VPS IF I do not give him the domain name AND accept the free VPS offer in return.

At this point, I thought for a moment and realized, why would I want to trust a low-down, blackmailing fraud company with my data? I turned down Rus’s lousy offer the last time.

Since, all data was already being rsync’d to two other offshore VPS from two different providers, I didn’t needed time to backup. All my account, VPS, backups and the $60 commission was terminated. I was even fool enough to pay my Aug 27, 2010 invoice almost two weeks before. Now I regret my decision. I could have saved that money.

My first tweet when I finally knew they would do such thing

My final tweet when I got the NAGIOS alert on twitter from my nagios-twitter bot @twitgios

Overall, my experience with ThrustVPS was not so good from Day 1, Moved from node to node to get stability, then moved to XEN HVM and then finally blackmailed and terminated. I advise all to stay away from this fraudulent company. They will take your money, terminate your VPS and go after your domain names that you have.

I downloaded this torrent and to my surprise, its almost NOTHING personal. Just names and Facebook IDs. Anyway, I also found a BBC Story on the same topic which is pathetic! They sounded this as if Facebook is HACKED, which is not the case.

Anyway, anyone who does not want to download via other file-sharing services or torrents can download this from the following VPS locations

• Location 1
• Location 2 (monthly allocation of 1TB bandwidth consumed)

P.S. If, for some reasons, you cannot download this file, leave a comment with a valid email address in this post and I will get back to you with the valid link.

Since I use twitter more, even when Im on the road, notifications via email is a bit slow for me. Luckily I found a great tutorial online to do that.

Twagios – Use Twitter for Nagios notifications

I registered a new twitter account for this purpose @twitgios, made its tweets private and followed this newly created account from my primary twitter account @asimzeeshan. Configured NAGIOS with twitter-nagios plugin and Viola! it now tweets status and updates as mentions to my personal account.

Wow, it will serve me two major purposes

1. How to manage a small box with challenging low resources
2. How to manage millions and millions of records in single mysql database table and replicate them to another VPS node.

I am doing all this on a low-budget but extremely powerful XEN VPS from multiple providers including QuickWeb and NordicVPS.

Note: Although, right now the domain name points no-where but I will soon point it to the vps where I am willing to host a public-portal about this.

Update (26-Aug-2010): From my experience, they have very huge iowait and hence I/O problems on their VPS servers. You have to wait for like 10-15 seconds for a ‘uptime’ command to execute which is pretty pathetic. So in my opinion, it was useless for me.

Update (25-Aug-2010): Rus Foster from ThrustVPS.com is a blackmailer and a person with low self-esteem. He actually blackmailed me to hand him over certain domain names which he thinks believes is breaching the AUP. My accounts, VPS and the $60 of affiliate commission was terminated. I will advise everyone to KEEP AWAY from Rus Foster and ThrustVPS.com (click here to read the full review)

Unix Benchmark results from ThrustVPS (XEN HVM running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on their West Coast (LA) node) using unixbench v 5.1.2

Specs: 512MB / 15GB XEN HVM running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit

Note: Although the test results from the previous bechmark on their XEN PV is just average, this one is the best benchmark I had on a 512MB VPS ever!

Specs: 128MB / 10GB XEN PV running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
The most amazing part? well, I got this VPS for just 6pounds bi-annually (6 months), thats 1 pound per month

Note: Although their servers are Core2Quad, I have access to 4 cores and the benchmark results (as compared with my QuickWeb 128MB XEN PV) are very good
