However currently there are 900+ support tickets open going back a number of months. As we understand that time is of the essance for everyone can we ask that if you have an issue that you open a NEW support ticket. We will be doing a review of all billing as well. As such can we ask that if you do have an outstanding invoice that payment is made as we have now moved transcations over to our Paypal account

Update (14-May-2011): HazeNet has been taken over by ThrustVPS / Rus Foster. Read more about it here

This benchmark is #2 in the series from HazNet, the previous one was done on their Core2Quad series and this one is on their latest XEON nodes.

Unix Benchmark results from HazNet using unixbench v 5.1.2. HazeNet offers 4 cores on their 1024 and 2048 packages.

Specs: 1024MB OpenVZ running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit

A new home for my Expired Domain Harvesting Project

Posted on by

Update (Apr 22, 2011): Please read my post NordicVPS is down the drain? to learn more about this host before ordering with them.

EXPIREDRUS.COM is a lame name that I will be using for my Expired Domain Harvesting Experiment that I have been doing in the last many weeks. The records I have collected are totally around 5.5million using lighttpd, PHP5 and MySQL (without innodb) on a 128MB XEN PV box with just 5GB of space.

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.
