[Question] Best DNS to increase upload speed

hamed

Hello dear friends .
I had a question . I need a high internet speed to download and upload a series of files, and I read on a website that DNS can have a positive effect on the speed of the Internet and increase the speed of the Internet (download and upload speed), so I wanted to ask if What is the best DNS to increase upload speed… and how to change DNS in ubuntu 16.04?

Hello there,
A few days back i received a replacement VPS as there were many issues going on with the VPS 10. Here is my review for the amazing VPS 7!

I have been using this for 4 days now and i can say the speed and the performance of the VPS is outstanding, The network speed and the SSD are just too good. Sadly, I'm currently using it for my personal Voice Server and the ping and latency is absolutely solid!

Specs :

Disk Space : 25GB SSD
RAM : 1GB
Virtualization : KVM
Bandwidth : Unmetered
Location : Locations are multiple like US: AT LA NY but i chose Germany

Usage/Pros/Cons :
My Usage is usually hosting a TeamSpeak3 Server and hosting a small RankSystem for my TeamSpeak3 Server and some music bots. The pros of the VPS are the performance of the VPS is pretty solid, I have seen much much more worse performance in paid one, The connection speed is impressive and as promised. The VPS is available in multiple locations, I personally chose Germany and i usually get 110MS which is pretty decent for me. I haven't encountered anytype of issue right now with the VPS, I'm pretty happy with the VPS, The specs are decent, CPU is Ryzen 3700x!
I would like to thanks ReadiDedis and Post4VPS for this amazing VPS!
I hope you like my review as it is my first review, If there are any mistakes or is there something missing please do let me know!

Hello everyone,

In consideration of the problems I faced while trying to perform the GeekBench 5 CPU benchmark while collecting resources for my recent review of VPS 9 Atlanta, I thought it'd be best to write a community guide so that in the future other users may find it useful and save some time.

Before You Begin

Please note that this is an OS specific guide and meant for CentOS 7 only.

Update your system and install `wget` which is a requirement for this tutorial.

Code:
yum update -y && yum install wget -y

NOTE: The steps in this guide require root privileges. Be sure to run the steps below as `root` or as a user with the `sudo` privileges.

Download & Extract GeekBench Files

Start by downloading the latest version of Geekbench files. For this tutorial, I'll be using `v5.0.1`.

Code:
wget http://cdn.geekbench.com/Geekbench-5.0.1-Linux.tar.gz
Next extract the archive.

Code:
tar -xzvf Geekbench-5.0.1-Linux.tar.gz

NOTE: Do not try to run the test now; you will get an error:

Code:
./geekbench5: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by ./geekbench5)

./geekbench5: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ./geekbench5)

GeekBench on CentOS 7 requires additional dependencies, which will be covered in the section below.

Install Additional Dependencies

We need additional dependencies. We will get these dependencies from an Anaconda installation-

Download the installer script.

Code:
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2019.07-Linux-x86_64.sh
Run it.

Code:
sh Anaconda3-2019.07-Linux-x86_64.sh
While the script runs, you need to press `ENTER` to accept the license agreement, and then answer with `yes` and press `ENTER` again. At last you'll be asked if you'd like to have Anaconda3 initialized, just type in `no` or press `ENTER`.
Copy the `libstdc++.so.6.0.26` to the shared libraries.

Code:
cp anaconda3/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.26 /usr/lib64
Remove the existing symlink.

Code:
rm /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
When it prompts you, reply with `yes`.
Finally add the new symlink.

Code:
ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.26 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6

RUN GEEKBENCH

We are now ready to proceed with the running GeekBench.

Switch to the directory where we extracted the GeekBench files.

Code:
cd Geekbench-5.0.1-Linux
Run the script.

Code:
./geekbench5

That's it. It will take sometime to complete the benchmark and you will receive the results in the form of a browser URL, upon successful completion. It should be like this:

Code:
. . . . .

Uploading results to the Geekbench Browser. This could take a minute or two

depending on the speed of your internet connection.

Upload succeeded. Visit the following link and view your results online:

  https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/1234567

Visit the following link and add this result to your profile:

  https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/1234567/claim?key=543210

REMOVING GEEKBENCH AND OTHER FILES

Now we shall remove the GeekBench and the "anaconda3" files, which we had installed earlier to get the required shared libraries.

Code:
cd && rm -rf Anaconda3-2019.07-Linux-x86_64.sh  anaconda3  Geekbench-5.0.1-Linux Geekbench-5.0.1-Linux.tar.gz

So that's how to perform a GeekBench CPU Benchmark on CentOS 7. I hope you all liked the tutorial!

For those VPS Holders who are complying with the backlink requirements of their VPSs, our sincere appreciation. Our trust in you is well deserved and obviously this announcement is not applicable to you.

@Dynamo wants to remind all VPS Holders that the requirements for having backlinks on a Website on the VPS that points to the sponsor and Post4VPS are compulsory. Most of the VPS Plan Requirements also specify a signature link in the Forum. VPS Holders who don't have backlinks as required by their VPS Plan are in breach of their VPS requirements. Those requirements are sponsors' requirements. If not complied with post4vps risks losing the VPS.

To those VPS Holders who are in possible breach of the VPS backlink requirements please note that you have 14 days time to fix this. We have written a PM to you. @Dynamoill check again on 27 June, and if the links are not found, the VPS will be powered down.

For those VPS Holders who do not have an understanding what is expected with Backlinks. Simply put. Links are from one Website to another. So you have to have a Website on your VPS that contains genuine sponsor and also post4vps links that point to the sponsor URL and post4vps URL. Preferably the more you say about the sponsor in that back link the better. You could for example create a tribute page to the sponsor and post4vps to thank them for having the VPS. A positive backlink says nice things positively and will obviously make the sponsor happy when he sees it. Here is a link to a Website that explains it in more detail:
https://backlinko.com/hub/seo/backlinks

Please note during future Giveaways Post4VPS will be adding a step before the VPS is created. Once the member has won a VPS, we will be pointing his attention to the compliance of the requirements of the VPS he won and ask him specifically how he plans to add the backlinks and provide us with a copy of the links. The VPS Holder will then be given 14 days grace to add a Website with the backlinks on his Website. We will then check the backlinks that have been provided. If they are not there, the VPS will be immediately powered down. We then hope to have a system where at the month end all VPS Holder VPSs will be checked again for backlinks on an ongoing basis.

This is obviously extra work which I didn't sign up for and that makes me very unhappy. Being able to get a VPS should automatically take care of trusting one another to follow the requirements and take care to keep sponsors happy. Backlinks are what sponsors need right on the top of their list of requirements. Please keep our sponsors happy without needing to ask you to do so nor needing to check up whether you are.

Pacific Spirit

I have been asked a lot lately how to start a Hosting Provider, well I will explain the thread in one go and I will make it easy for everyone to read through. Also with this thread I can release updates and information to start for any unclear things.

HOW WE GET STARTED:
1.) Provide a nice hosting domain name that suits you.
2.) Choose a provider and a package that suits you: Reseller Hosting (cPanel), Master Reseller Hosting (cPanel / Reseller), Alpha Reseller (Master Reseller, Reseller, cPanel) or Super Alpha Reseller Hosting (Alpha Reseller, Master Reseller, Reseller or cPanel)
3.) Search for a Template / Theme or create your own.
4.) Look for Hosting script (I.E WHMCS, BLESTA etc ...)
5.) Configure your hosting billing system.
6.) Create ads on different forums and advertise on google.
7.) Add different Email addresses on your site so that people can get in touch with you.
, possibly a telephone number (DUAL-SIM) idea.
8.) Offers customers nice options, so no super high prices (OVERPRIZED also called).
9.) Make a good calculation for your wallet so that you don't take your site offline after a week, month or a few months.
10.) Do not start with swiped software or something like that, just buy as it should be because you will not get there with nulled software.

Hi,
Nowadays I am trying for new online class technologies. Recently I saw a video on youtube which the anchor is writing on the screen. Have you seen such videos?
https://youtu.be/Fc8w036XYFQ
Let me know what technology they used, if you can find it.

VPS 9 (Atlanta) - My Dream VPS!

Presented by @sohamb03 ; Directed by VirMach

Hello everyone!

This is none other than me to present a review on VPS 9 (Atlanta), belonging to the present mega-VPS group of Post4VPS, both in specifications and stock.

THE STORY

I won this VPS on the 7th of September, 2019. I'd casually submitted a VPS request to be honest, I'd never really thought of winning this amazing VPS at the end of the Giveaway. When the Giveaway was on-going, little did I realize that this VPS, which has been an all-time favorite at Post4VPS would be mine. My spirits were really dampened when I came to know that a lot of candidates had applied, and only three of them remaining in stock with about 5 canditates already in the race, I'd assumed I wasn't going to succeed this time.

Destiny was otherwise. On the 6th of September, 2019, @deanhills informed me (oh BTW I has initially applied for the Seattle location) that Seattle was the only location of VirMach VPSes that had a negative VPS review. He suggested that I could choose Atlanta, as Arsal has recently dropped it. I'm glad he made the suggestion that day, and today I take this opportunity to thank him a ton for the suggestion. Arsal is to be thanked too, for dropping this one, to my advantage.

The very next day, came the best news. I did win the VPS and my happiness knew no bounds. Thanks to @Dynamo for organizing this forum, that brought us all together. I must say I've made great friends here, and this VPS - VPS 9, is one which I could've otherwise never afforded myself. This VPS played a great role in improving my skills in the Linux Administration, and it is through this VPS, that I learnt a lot of things.

Agreed that this VPS did cause a lot of trouble during the OVZ to KVM migration, I've very little to complain about as these were very petty problems compared to the great benefit I derive out of this VPS. (FUN FACT: I'd 6 OS re-installations on this VPS, basically I troubled Dean a lot.

)

It's been 9 long months that I've been the holder of this VPS, and its time I justify the VPS and convey my regards and thanks to VirMach, through the medium of this review. Enjoy reading further!

STORAGE BENCHMARK

I've 80 GB of storage on my VPS. In VPS 9, you can choose in multiples of 5, and I didn't need much storage till now, but I'll need more soon with another OS re-installation.

Code:
Filesystem               Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

devtmpfs                 3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev

tmpfs                    3.9G   64M  3.8G   2% /dev/shm

tmpfs                    3.9G  384M  3.5G  10% /run

tmpfs                    3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup

/dev/mapper/centos-root   47G   17G   30G  36% /

/dev/loop0               1.5G  9.0M  1.4G   1% /tmp

/dev/mapper/centos-home   23G  1.1G   22G   5% /home

/dev/vda1               1014M  228M  787M  23% /boot

tmpfs                    783M  4.0K  783M   1% /run/user/0

tmpfs                    783M     0  783M   0% /run/user/5003

For the boot time: (Actually I've a GUI - XFCE - running on the VPS; not sure why it didn't show up

)

Code:
Startup finished in 861ms (kernel) + 2.761s (initrd) + 12.130s (userspace) = 15.753s

Although, the boot time is pretty cool.

Now for the tests, directly from the Benchmarking Script:

Code:
[sohamb03@google ~]$ ./bench.sh -io

I/O (2nd run)   : 708 MB/s

Which is a remarkable performance!

This is the disk-speed-beta.sh script, not yet merged into the benchmarking script but just a confirmation of the above results plus the cached mode.

USAGE

Here's the most important part - the use case of the VPS lol.

I presently have CyberPanel running on he VPS - and two websites including my speedtest server being powered by the same. Also, I give free web hosting to one of my friend.
I've 6 Discord Bots running on that VPS (3 for me and 3 for yet another friend). All of them are coded in Python, and the server handles the load quite well. Not using much RAM and CPU honestly, except a few occasional spikes.
A GUI - XFCE - is running on the VPS. It's the lightest GUI available (cuz I've previously faced problems with GNOME and MATE).
Development and testing of my scripts.
A private OpenVPN server for myself.
I'd installed Pterodactyl panel initially on the VPS; but on noticing that it consumes a lot of resources and conflicts with other applications on my VPS, I wiped it off.
I always keep aside little resources (which is why the free space) for testing new stuff, panels and beta testing of other applications.

SUMMARY

Let's sum up this review.

1. I'm extremely satisfied with the VPS ... it's perfect for my needs and use-case. I do not regret keeping a considerable space empty cuz they get filled and wiped occasionally.

2. As we all know, VPS 9 doesn't have a control panel, but honestly I never felt the need of having one. Dean and HR have been very active at support and my level of satisfaction knows no bounds.

Again, a huge thanks to VirMach and Post4VPS, for this amazing VPS. Also, thanks for taking time to read this review, dear readers. Although I've tried to keep this review as descriptive as possible, any feedback, suggestions are welcome. I'll try my best to include them as soon as possible.

i have found an awesome search engine that works on art of problem solving and stack exchange sites mainly ( i guess). it is capable of recognising your equation and finding it in posts over there. i quite enjoy using it now.

this helped me immensely since i found it in a comment on math stackexchange. so i am posting about it here to let everyone know and also hopefully give the engine a bit of a boost.

here is the link
