Shared and Reseller Hosting Special Part 1

Tags: , , , Date/Time: October 20, 2016 @ 8:11 pm, by IThinkUFailed

We’ve seen an increasing demand recently for shared and reseller hosting over on our forum, LowEndTalk. This two-part special is aimed to highlight the fantastic providers in our community both LowEndBox and LowEndTalk. This is mostly focused towards new users wanting to get their first site online or wanting to start their hosting business with a reliable but affordable reseller hosting package.

 

vortexnode

I approached VortexNode directly as they offer some of the cheapest plans on this list and are an active member on LowEndTalk despite joining in September they have made quite a splash in the community and they have also been actively trading since 2014. They have kindly agreed to match the offer that was on LowEndTalk and included a reseller offer in the mix. They use cPanel for their shared hosting platform and offer a 99.9% Uptime Guarantee.

Setting Up An Encrypted Volume on your UbuVPS

Tags: , , , Date/Time: October 16, 2016 @ 12:18 pm, by Jon Biloh

lowendtutorial

Developers commonly use virtual private servers to build applications for their clients. Securing the data stored on your VPS can help protect against the accidental exposure of your data in case of a breach.

Linux distros such as Ubuntu can assist you in creating an encrypted volume on your VPS. Best of all, this can all be done from the command line interface (SSH).

Tags: , Date/Time: October 14, 2016 @ 6:55 pm, by IThinkUFailed

Hi there I’m going to keep this short and to the point.

We’ve got in the works a pretty different post coming up. This post is going to come out in roughly a week from now and we need your help.

We want shared and reseller hosting offers so that we can put together something similar to a community round up but focused solely on shared and reseller hosting offers.

There’s a few requirements however as this post is more aimed towards people just wanting to get their first site online or just wanting to get their feet wet in the industry.

  • Shared hosting for single sites not to exceed $15 per year or $1.50/mo
  • Reseller hosting not to exceed $3 per month or $30 per year
  • Detailed description of account limits such as disk space, databases, bandwidth etc – no ‘Unlimited’ disk space offers will be accepted!

We  really want to highlight some of the great talent that exists on our sister site and will be sending messages to you guys but we want to showcase new providers as well!

If you are wanting to send in offers then do it quickly as we are hoping to get this out in about a week from now! You can send us your offers here

Thanks everyone and please let us know if this is something you would like to see more of.

There’s a variety of reasons as to why you may want to turn your VPS into a private instant messaging server. Regardless of your motivations, we’ve compiled a guide that will help you understand the basics of installing, operating and managing a VPS running Jabber, a popular instant messaging platform.

The Background of Jabber

Before we dive head first into Jabber, let’s spend a few moments on the background of the Jabber project. Jabber is an initiative to produce an open source, XML-based instant messaging platform.

Jabber was started in 1998 by Jeremie Miller. The Jabber standards and architecture help create a distributed IM system. Systems administrators may notice that Jabber is similar to an email server, with users connecting to these systems locally.

Setting up Git for Free on a VPS

Tags: , , , Date/Time: October 5, 2016 @ 6:00 pm, by Jon Biloh

lowendtutorial

Have you thought about setting up your own private Git server on a spare VPS?

Over the years, GitHub has become a critical service for developers. While some subscriptions of the service can cost over $2,500 per year, free versions exist for small developers who are building open source.

There are some limitations of the free version you should know about. The free service doesn’t allow you to privately host the code, which can be an issue in some development scenarios.

An example of what you could do with the free version of Git would be if you are developing a private mobile app that you aren’t ready to release to the public just yet.
