Bringing up a Diaspora “Pod”

Posted on September 9, 2011 by richard

We’re working through the technical requirements & installation process of deploying a Diaspora Pod within Network Presence.

Once we’ve done this, we’ll create a Diaspora ‘Appliance’ VPS for customers to deploy should they wish.

I’ll update this post’s comments with progress as our Diaspora Pod comes online.

FreeBSD available more & more..

Posted on September 3, 2011 by richard

There was a time in ~2009 where I was confident that FreeBSD would complete full Xen PVS functionality, but that didn’t really come to pass (I know that some people have it running ok with various customisations, granted).

But I’m a former “FreeBSD better than Linux” kinda SysAdmin, so I’m dedicated to Network Presence supporting FreeBSD in all VPS Plans, thus even given FreeBSD’s problems running as a Xen ‘para-virtualised’ VPS, Network Presence will provision any ordered FreeBSD VPS as full Xen “HVM” or KVM VPS, meaning ‘hardware virtualisation mode’ and the running FreeBSD OS doesn’t need to know that it’s running in a VPS environment, which allows the current release (8.2) of FreeBSD to run as a VPS.

I’m still a great believer in FreeBSD’s place as a modern operating system, regardless as to its requirements for full “hardware virtualisation”, so please feel free to order FreeBSD OS on our small end plans, but preferably on our 512MB or more VPS Plans, like http://netpr.es/bestprice512
