@scottalanmiller I download XenCenter from there website and install it. Then all I had to do was enter the IP address, username and password
So you run XC locally and connect to an openly exposed XS installation?
-
@scottalanmiller for now yes. What do you suggest I do to secure the install?
-
Wow.. and it only has an IPv6 address, eh?
-
@Dashrender no one IPv4 is provided.
-
What about server backups? Do they handle that at all?
-
@dafyre They don't. Unmanaged. I am going to use Unitrends Free to S3
-
That's too bad. But that would explain why it isn't for production. Restores of a 2TB server would take quite a while. The maximum pipe speed appears to be 100Mb/s.
-
That would be a 45 hour download to get a full backup of the full space back if you had to do a full restore of the full storage amount assuming you were able to hold a full 100Mb/s the entire time, which you can't. More realistically you'd be looking at half a week to a week to restore a full system.
-
@scottalanmiller How would you do a 2TB restore when the free version only allows 1TB?
-
At the very high end I would have 160GB, likely much less.

That's a UT limitation. So in your case you can't even back the whole thing up
But as a general issue with the platform, if you use XO to do your backups for example, you'd have to wait nearly a week to restore.

Not having console access and the ability to mount an ISO is a big deal =/

Unless you are going to use XenServer.... Then you can create your own ISO repository for XS and then upload your isos into that folder.

Sure, but what if something goes wrong with XS?

That's what their tech support is for.

Is it? I mean that honestly. Do they have XS experts that can recover a system if things go south? Or do they just rebuild it and blow away your data? Typically these companies can only do the latter.

They can look and see why it ain't booting. But you do have a point. it is odd that their parent company (OVH) offers KVMoIP.

I actually read up a bit, and their support team is pretty much only there to see why you A) don't have an internet connection, or B) Your hardware aint' booting.
Anything else is your responsibility, pretty much.
I bit the bullet... this could save my Pops a ton of money.
He's hosting like 5 domains with GoDaddy, lol. He has some probems with a few of the sites being super slow a lot of times.It's worth the $38 it took to get us set up. We went with the KS-4B, I think... $24 / month.
We'll see if we like it or not.
@anonymous -- You still liking yours? I just got my XenServer install set up as well.
And I think @anonymous asked a good question... What should we do to secure it? Only allow access by specific IPs? (My home IP is static, so that is easily doable).

You could do 2FA with keys only.
