I’ve been working on a series called Raindog308’s Journeys in which I try out different providers. Recent entries:
- ColoCrossing Dedicated Server (part 1, part 2)
- Silicom Network DirectAdmin Reseller Hosting (part 1, part 2)
I’ve got another one coming up with DataIdeas using one of their Raspberry Pi servers.
Where should I go next? Are there any services you’d like to see my explore here on LowEndBox?
The Review Experience
The ColoCrossing dedi and the Silicom Network reseller hosting are things I plan to use going forward. I have a couple other systems but for reviews going forward, it’s going to be kind of a simulated use case. So this leads to the question of what makes a good review.
Some things that are on my list:
- YABS: because you all love YABS
- The signup experience: how do things go from clicking order to filling out the form, making payment, times, etc.
- TOS/AUP: noting anything that is out of the norm.
- Panels: which are in use, what it’s like to use them.
- Features: custom ISO? reverse DNS? snapshots? Windows server? IPv6? etc.
What else do you think should be included?
So, Please…
Open a ticket on our help desk and suggest:
- Providers to cover
- Anything not listed above you’d like to see in the reviews
Thank you!

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.
