    [Solved] Request to delete VPS44

    in Customer Service

    Posted

    Hello, 

     

    I've migrated my self managed email to a managed solution. As such I no longer require a VPS and would like it (VPS44) to be deleted.

    I do have reverse DNS setup for the IPv4 (65.19.141.201) and v6 (2001:470:1:1ee::44) addresses, so I'm not sure if that is something you'll want to clean up or not (or if its automatically done).

    I've cancelled the Paypal recurring payment and pulled whatever data I need off the machine, let me know if you need any info.

     

    Thanks for hosting my email for 1.5 years.

    Connected by Remmina; installed python...now??

    1) Yes, you can run your Python programs remotely. You can run them even when you log off in a tmux window or as a systemd service since it appears that VPS69 is running Ubuntu.

    2) You can use FTP/SFTP to move files to your server. Alternatively, you can just use the scp command to move files.

    3) There are a couple of ways to make flask content showup on a domain. You can just tell flask to run on port 80 or 443 (you'll need to run it with sudo if you do this). You could also use nginx or apache or manage your flask content. This might be harder to do depending on your familiarity/comfortability with the command line. Either way, you would need to also add an A record to your VPS where you control your domain's DNS.

    4) You would have to install a remote desktop server on your VPS. I personally wouldn't recommend it for your use case though since in my eyes, it's just a waste of system resources.

     

    There are plenty of guides online to do what you've asked for in your post. I'm sure there are also community members that can provide pointers, but ultimately you'll have to learn on your own since no one is going to hold your hand forever.

    www redirect to non-www (apex) domain

    I would ask you if it would be OK to completely delete the DNS zone in Hestia, but you already said you're not familiar with it.  🙂  Although Hestia should be just an interface to whatever service is providing the DNS.

    I would imagine if you were using Cloudflare for DNS, Hestia DNS records would no longer be of any use (if I am correctly assuming it works like cPanel).

    Your HTTP, www URL redirects to the HTTPS version which is expected: 

    lucas@grover:~$ curl http://www.infantex.com.mx -I
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2021 23:24:23 GMT
Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=3600
Expires: Thu, 23 Sep 2021 00:24:23 GMT
Location: https://www.infantex.com.mx/

    But then the HTTPS version redirects back to the HTTP: 

    lucas@grover:~$ curl https://www.infantex.com.mx -I
HTTP/2 301
date: Wed, 22 Sep 2021 23:24:23 GMT
content-type: text/html
location: http://www.infantex.com.mx/

    So it might be some option in Hestia that has not been turned on (or maybe has been turned on) that is looping. I'm not sure though since I don't Hestia.

     

    As for the A vs CNAME, I have my domain setup with a CNAME so that I don't have to do any extra configuration on the web server to redirect www -> root.

    Timeout on hestia update

    I've also noticed that the VPSs are slow sometimes due to the hard drive array its on. Since Johnny and the VPSs share the same drives, IOPs drops sometimes and everyone is affected. You can see Krydos' statement about it here:

    Your timeout issue might be related to that if this happened out of the blue and all other variables are constant (free CPU/memory/disk).

    There are some surprisingly good free VPS deals out there, both short and long term. You'd want to avoid ones that don't come with an IP v4 address though.

    Oracle's Free Teir is pretty amazing. If you pick their ARM-based VPS you apparantly get four "OCPU" cores with 24 GB RAM between them, 200GB+ storage, two IPv4 addresses, and 10 TB outbound data per month, with no expiry date. Detailed specs.

    However when I tried to sign up it failed, apparantly due to a problem with confirming my identity via my Visa Debit Card (which is required even though they don't charge unless you use their paid services). That's probably because I'm Australian though, and the exact same thing happened when I tried to sign up for AWS's free VPN years ago. Support aren't interested in helping (though at least Oracle's support replied to me, AWS just left me hanging).

    They don't accept Visa Debit, I had the same issue when I tried to sign up (Canadian for those wondering). I got around it by using a Visa prepaid card from a provider that grants temporary cards to use online.

    I've using their two free x86_64 VMs eight months now and their largest ARM VM (the one with four cores and 24GB of RAM) for about two weeks. It works well so far, aside from a really weird issue with iptables and Ubuntu that their web console firewall has an issue with. I use one of the x86 VMs for my website and the other as a dumping grounds for data. The large ARM VM I use to host a Minecraft server and its doing well so far. The support is also pretty much useless as you probably have experienced.

    I wouldn't host any sensitive data on Oracle's VMs though. I don't know how long Oracle plans to do this or if they one day would just decide to pull the plug on free resources.

    [Solved] Reverse DNS for VPS44

    in Escalated Requests

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I recently got a VPS to avoid having to wait for Tommy to come back up (also nice to have my own IP) for emails. I've fully configured my VPS to send and receive emails, however the last thing that needs to be done is setup reverse DNS (which I can't do myself).

     

    Thus, I'd like to request the IP:

    65.19.141.201

    to point to:

    mail.itslucas.win

     

    Thanks.
