Everything has been running fine and the RAM use has been staying around ~50% utilization on this 256 MB VPS. Everything is running fine and fast. The CPU load has stayed low too. If you look in the footer you will see the result of the ‘uptime’ command. I have never been able to keep it up for over a week without a reboot because I was testing what started on boot and making sure that I did not have unnecessary stuff running after a reboot. Everything seems good right now.
I don’t have any sort of control panel running because they are just a waste of RAM if you are the only user of the VPS. I have offloaded DNS to FreeDNS.Afraid.org and email to Google Apps since those services would mean my email would still work if the server goes down.
Now that I don’t have my anti spam measures in place that require no user interaction I am getting spam comments. I don’t know why it is worthwhile to spam sites that don’t even have the domain name registered but that’s all I have received.
example of the spam:
cNh3hY <a href="http://rdbvonfkpqnw.com/" rel="nofollow">rdbvonfkpqnw</a>, [url=http://conxxohztgkx.com/]conxxohztgkx[/url], [link=http://lvsyoxrmdthe.com/]lvsyoxrmdthe[/link], http://tawjblwqvada.com/
The spammer is even kind enough to nofollow the links for me even though I don’t.
I restored it from a backup from when it was on the old host. If you made a post in between the last backup and the failure it is gone.
When my other host going down it took down the CPALead bypass. the new IP for the CPALead bypass is 67.43.56.28 . For the instructions to edit the file see the original post.
After 24 hours of downtime I decided to move this site to my VPS off of Paradox Servers. I was a little hesitant to to move to the VPS it but this forced me to.
