HOST-C, Chat, Updates, Stuff
Hy fellas,
Started this as it was time we had 1 thread for all HOST-C stuff related.
Welcome all, trolling, memes or whatever is allowed, heck, even welcomed 
. All in the limits of LES Rules 
We managed to clear most of the Tickets from the BF Sale, still have to fix some and to provision the 20 TB deals
Next..
I will start with a thank you for choosing HOST-C.
Here is an insight for the first part of 2025:
- Another Payment Gateway ( no crypto, at least for the first part of 2025 )
- Captcha - a more normal version then the one currently used
- rDNS in User Panel
- A new location for IPV6 only deals + a new location for higher speeds
- TOS will get some updates - these will be sent out via e-mail to all customers
- A decent website
- A lot of tweeks in products, pricing and product flexibility
- Dyson Sphere will be made a always available product ( well, as much as possible / location )
Now, for the rest of 2024, we will do some minor tweaks to server performance, might have to take a few nodes offline for a few minutes, as CPU or RAM is not hot-swap capable, at least not on the DELL's we use.
I wish to underline to everyone that we are no DMCA ignore, that term is pretty widely interpreted as PORN, Shady Stuff over the internet and other, some might got this idea as I am from Romania and some of my fella providers endorsed this type of activity in the past or still do, I will gladly disappoint some in this statement. Whatever you publish must follow this rule, whatever you store, that is not our business.
Short version of TOS can be found here, each subject has a revision number and date when it was published, as we update it, version number changes so is the date.

I wish to thank those that trusted/trust us with whatever data they have ( regardless of the type ) .
Get your self prepared, more to come.
As usual, if you have any questions, shoot.

Managed to miss all the storage BF deals; I think I must have been in the wrong timezone / distracted by kittens.
Pre orders for 2025 ftw !!

You are excused, we love kittens, all types.

I'm still looking forward to host-c's $7 deal.
i finally became a host-c customer with an amazing value 2TB deal on LES exclusively, so
MOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
666666
I will have to think something up, as accounting and taxes is ~3 USD on a sale, and @7USD / year, well, you know, dead-pool if abused to much.
Happy to have you onboard.
What I can promise to all after big sales, is that your neighbors will be noisy for the first couple of days, and they will deplete the IO available for storage 24/7, same story, every time....
Things settle in a few days.

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
@host_c wonder if custom ISOs is support? i cannot check it myself atm.(I got kick out to login page for the third time now 😂)
I'd like to suggest that Host-C consider a new IPv6-only storage deal at a competitive price. some people need large-capacity storage for backup purposes, so IPv4 isn't a necessity. Could you consider removing IPv4 to offer more competitive storage solutions?
I am not a fan, we tried it on OGF, it wen ok-ish, but I was too stressed for parts to arrive on time.
We had the go from LES admins to do it here, but rather waited to do the normal sale. I do not feel comfortable not "putting my money where my moth is".
Satisfaction is always higher if you get what you payed for instantly, or in a few minutes.
This is a good tool for expansion, but it can go very wrong very fast, this forum and others are full of examples, I wish not to repeat what I read a bunch of times. Slowly but surely is better, altho, the opening of next location got delayed 12 months, not proud, as some say, it is what it is.

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
Nice!
Also nice! For all subnets (because for example 185.207.125.0/24 has no rDNS currently)?
Nice!
Maybe you can take a few photos from the servers/your rack if you're there anyway?
Doesn't seem to be available in the panel, but netboot.xyz is available.

that will take off too little in my opinion, I had this talk with other providers, most of them agreed, in today pricing, IPV4 is the last of my concern.
Fees and other expenses on cheap products eat all profit, let me give you an example on a cash-back we did today ( well not 1, but just to have a general idea )
Amount
45.00 USD
Transaction Fee
2.73 USD
Merchant Amount
42.27 USD
so that cost me 2.73 USD + other expanses, not that bad on a 45 USD right?
Amount
14.00 USD
Transaction Fee
1.05 USD
Merchant Amount
12.95 USD
1.05 USD on a 14 USD sale? that is .... outrageous might I say
I can understand other providers being reluctant on cheap deals, it is not that we do not wish to do them, heck, on IPV6 we can do 1C/1G/5GB NVME/1TB transfer each minute of the day 24/7/365, but that will actually cost the provider, not the user, hence no benefit, provider dead-pools and user is frustrated hat another went to dust...
We are ok owning that, as it is grate for the community and rather giving $ to google better spend the $ as credit, but only in limited numbers, otherwise........ RIP.
Open a tiket, giv us the link, we will put it up.

Shouldn't there be rows of cabinets?
Could you consider accepting Skrill?
Very few providers support it unfortunately.
You're not alone in this pain.
I also didn't add any storage VPS to my collection.
With the only difference that I was (permanently) distracted by work.
Should you manage to snag that $7 storage, please grab another for me as well — the connection speed I have at the moment prevents any quick BF/CM purchase very effectively.

Shit, wrong one
These were during the time we moved all servers to another part of the DC, as we secured the next rack also for 2025
These are from the old rack, will post updates tomorrow.

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
I was curious why DNS is not allowed? Don't want to anyway, just wondering.
it is not Yle ( ROW ) 125
I wanted to do a quiz on that, but I would have to divulge information that might be useful for an attacker on the infrastructure.

DNS Hijack or being part in a DNS amplification attack.
Happened, oh boy, not once.
Some ( almost all ) forget to set up DNS server correctly so a ton ended up being part of a shit attack a few years back.
I can limit the PPS reply on TCP/UDP 53 via the Firewall, but sincerely, why bother?

@host_c Don't run off you gots works to do dammit!!!

Have you tried turning it off and on again?That is actually Fucking Awesome, Thank you
YEah, we are fixing stuff in the dc, I have no words how the creation of VM's went......

WE will change e-mail hosting to Google, so we get rid of the MSFT no love.

If i hate anyone for this BF, it must be @host_c
most deals sold in (milli) seconds,
i got plenty of time for 3tb deal but didn't buy because i expected a 5tb deal from him but nope....
And for your point of fees eating up money...consider using Binance Pay...AFAIK no fees, easy to integrate
not sure you can setup or not, but if you use UPI for Indian customers, thats also free

Feeling very tired, let's call it a day.
Some may know that we've been at war with HOST-C since 2023 due to DDoS attacks at 45.142.157.169.
Starting this year, based on our observation, our attitude toward HOST-C has changed toward positive.
They seem to provide affordable storage products with reasonable reliability as backups.
We hereby announce that we have called a truce with HOST-C, and we have unbrothered Florin.
Now waiting $7/year dealz.
We accept Karma donations for the last flan. 🍮 affbrr
LMAO
Best and friendliest hosts Host-C , Hostbrr aff.
@yoursunny
When you wrote me, i did not expect this, I did expect some sort of an apology for the DDOS claims, of witch I do not even give a 0.10 USD. I wrote you that problem was not the DDOS claim, but stating that we would sell customer data and the fact that we bash other RO providers, while the later was a misunderstanding by you , it actually was only to help Florian out, but it depends on how you look at things.
I guess as this is as good as what I am going to get out of you.
Hereby I call truce with the IPV6/9 advocate. Remember 1 thing, I forgive but do not forget
.
Regarding the 2 kids, I have nothing with either of them, tried to help as much as I could both. My personal input on the matter ( the 0.10 USD ) is that in a way I kinda miss them, both have to learn a lesson from mistakes, hope they did learn theirs.
Now, as I read around the forums in your post's, you being a fan, do you need a /48 over a /127? on a promo service?

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
May I ask where the new location is planned? I’m really looking forward to these updates.
I will prefer not to say, since it got delayed 2 times already, better just throw the dealzz when it will be active, and announce after. that is 100% how it will be.
And yes, on the longer run you can migrate your actual VPS to the "secret new" location at some point, how, that remains to be seen.

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
Maybe just some hint? To the East or West of you?
Best and friendliest hosts Host-C , Hostbrr aff.
NO hints my friend, just little patience. I can confirm that this will be the last RO location when it will be full.
Whatever comes after that, I have no clue....

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
one could say the same about being teased with $1 IPv6 deals and being left with blue balls. 🥵
Any 7usd/yr - 1 TB?
Guys, get over the 5TB deal, and the 10TB one, those are legendary, will not be sold, we already started to give serial numbers to some of them.
Understand that we cannot do that on newer hardware, and we will not get more V4, we cannot, nor want to sell whatever CPU with a lower score of 650 / vCore in GB6.
24 Bay 2U servers are expensive, so is 64GB / dimm DDR4 @ 2666 or above and SAS drives aren't cheaper these days.
We try to maintain a lower price, but if we do not make 1 buck / product, you will see us on the RIP list
and then you will get tickets to find cociu & host-c 
.
What I can promise is
Reliability, Stability and Performance. ( storage wise, as that is what we sell )

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
I came back recently and had no idea who @host_c was - I honestly thought he was Cociu in disguise (with Grammarly) at first.
But I got one of the 1TB promos, and straight away I knew he was different with the superb support, speed, and performance. Wishing for further success! Awesome services
THX, I think some might say otherwise, we try to do the most we can, support is via 2 fellas, me and 1 minion, as the 3'rd one I cannot let him near the keyboard, as you said, not even GPT5.0 + Grammarly can help him out
But he's NET skills are awesome, so I am not complaining.

By the way, we are preparing some nice stuff for existing customers, so if some see a kernel panic, do not panic, power off and power back on

A kernel panic would destroy the 100% uptime!
Seriously though, thanks for the great service and great prices!

Well not always, usually from older gen cpu to newer gen cpu no kernel panic doing live migrations, but we saw that 4 out of 100 can give this.
Just giving out the Santa Presents to random folks early ( try migrating 300 TB over night... a no go bro )
