Did you pick up a Mouse Storage box from Servarica ?

if so, how are they now ? since the bench marking mania may have ended.

Btw the specs were

1 CPU cores shared
1GB RAM
500gb disk
100mbps with 2TB limit
/64 IPv6 included
12$/year
Montreal, Canada ( Not OVH)

    Great deal, so far seems pretty nice - seeing 200 to 300 MB/s write speeds.

    A teeny bit of CPU steal while idling (maybe up to 1%, more often around 0.3-0.7)

    I can't get the code format to work, but there it is with Centos.

  • I didn't get it, but would be great to have one (to idle, again).

    Someone on Chinese forum claims that he got one with IPv4 (I don't know how, maybe there's a loophole somewhere)

    IPv4 was an extra option for $18/yr IIRC.

    Well, I was hyped at first, but afterwards, after SOMEONE started digging, because it sounded to good to be true.
    I decided that I likely just let it on idle or only put not important data on it.

    He does post since 2010, but his company is only 1 year old, he did XX changes in the company name for unknown reasons.
    If you google his name, you find stuff, you do not expect to find.

    Same goes for Stockservers, if you bought that, you better start digging.

    Can you share more of what you found concerning, in another unindexed thread if you prefer?

    Quebec's Enterprise Register shows the company was registered in 2010-09-23 as "RICA WEB HOSTING SERVICES" / "LES SERVICES D'HÉBERGEMENT DE PAGES WEB RICA". The address in the entry (ID 2266846825) matches the one in the IP range. The one registered in 2018-03-20 (ID 2266846825), "Rica Web Services Inc." / "Les Services Web Rica Inc." looks to be an IT consulting company headed by the same person with a different address.

    This looks to me like the company got its start by offering shared hosting/whmcs module, changing its name slightly a few times, then expanded from there. They were selling VPS back around 2014, so they are not a newbie to the hosting business even though the inc. is a bit over a year old.

    I didn't find anything in particular while searching the founder's name, or resoundingly negative reviews about the company?

    Asking as a first-time customer, no affiliation with them.

    When you search for the company mentioned in the footer, you get one hit:
    Created: 2018-03-20, I see no registration from 2010.

    He is listed apparently on the No Fly List, which does not seem trustworthy to me.
    Someone made me aware of it, can be a sign or not.

    Try searching for "rica web" in the Quebec Enterprise Register, there should be 2 registry IDs in the results. The federal one only shows a partial result.

    Yeah, I saw the news articles. Supposing for a moment it is the same person, the Office of Reconsideration has since concluded he is not a threat to passengers and shouldn't have been on the list. Cut to some vague definition of "immediate" threat (which included people who might be considered as such in the future), also browsing certain "extremist" websites can land a person on a secret list with little to no oversight. While opinions may differ on this, such lists seem dubious to me at best.

    All that said, backups, backups. Same goes for providers you trust as well.

    @poisson Fwiw, you could also install OpenVPN (or other VPN server) on one of the NATs to get ipv6. Any of the popular OpenVPN install scripts on GitHub with ipv6 support will do the job. (Enable tun and assign an ipv6 address to the box from the CP, run the script. I've tried it on a LES box and it works nicely.)

    Had you not given me a fair idea about where you live, I would have guessed you lived at one (or maybe more?) of the following places that are about 4,000 kilometers from Montreal :

    a. Just west off the Irish Coast
    b. Somewhere north of the arctic circle
    c. Somehere near the Caribbeans- close to Barbados
    d. Somewhere in the Seattle area

    I don't know about you, but I prefer (b) or (c)

    Are they torrent friendly ?

    If they're a summer host it's a pretty long con.

    tl;dr Doesn't specifically forbid torrent software. No illegal activities (by Canadian law), no copyright or intellectual property right infringement. The sort of thing most TOS say, don't get the host in trouble, use your own discretion.

    FreeBSD said: (possible summer host)

    What makes you say that? Some providers have come and gone, less time than this provider has been around, and they don't get downplayed as summerhosts.

    The Mouse offer was probably a limited-quantity loss-leader for them (and now they let people who accidentally got ipv4 keep them, which wasn't advertised with the plan). If the boxes turned out to have even 99% uptime, it would be a decent deal for the price, if only because it's a bit like AU, offers by CA companies with a CA location tend to cost more.
