| 13:26.50 | wethrin | morsing: Yes-ish. An organisation I'm involved with has one |
| 13:29.02 | dick_turpin | morsing: Are you North or South of the Barrier? |
| 13:37.05 | morsing | dick_turpin: North |
| 13:37.13 | morsing | wethrin: Ok, any good? |
| 13:42.16 | dick_turpin | morsing: So you won't be drowning then? |
| 13:43.43 | wethrin | morsing: I've not noticed any problems |
| 13:44.01 | wethrin | Mythic tend to generally be recommended as competent |
| 13:45.13 | morsing | Is it powerful enough? Which one do you have? |
| 13:50.41 | wethrin | It does what we need it. Which is running postfix, and mysql/wordpress |
| 13:50.59 | wethrin | Mysql falls over if it's inundated with people trying to break into wordpress |
| 13:51.10 | wethrin | Not sure which one we've got. The cheapest virtual server, I think |
| 13:51.13 | wethrin | 20GB disk or so? |

| 14:06.39 | morsing | wethrin: They've got 2: 100GB and 1TB |

| 17:33.06 | wethrin | morsing: We've got an old package |
| 17:55.03 | morsing | wethrin: I'm just amazed at the low price, compared to my colo |
| 17:55.19 | wethrin | You've got a real machine in colo, though, haven't you? |
| 17:55.19 | morsing | 1TB disk, 4 vCPUs |
| 17:55.25 | morsing | Yes |
| 17:55.34 | wethrin | Yeah. That takes up rack space and power |
| 17:55.47 | wethrin | And with a VPS, you can have, say, 10 virtual machines in the same space |
| 17:55.58 | wethrin | So each VM can be 1/10 of the cost |
| 17:56.06 | morsing | Ermmm... Hardly |
| 17:56.27 | wethrin | Which bit are you disagreeing with? |
| 17:56.58 | morsing | Having 10 virtual machines in a 1U of those specs. |
| 17:57.07 | wethrin | Ah, but the resources are shared |
| 17:57.12 | morsing | ... |
| 17:57.52 | wethrin | For most systems, the CPU sits idle a significant chuck of the time |
| 17:58.07 | wethrin | Just with fairly short burts of activity |
| 17:58.46 | wethrin | So when one VM is idle, another VM may be more active |
