Her.st Propaganda Stream

her.st hosting

  • AMD Zen3 CPUs.
  • This hosting service is run as a hobby not as a business
  • There’s no Uptime guarantee or SLA but since I’m running my own stuff on it, it’s pretty reliable.

Total downtime since 01/01/2019: 11h15m47sec (>99.999% Uptime)

Downtimes

  • 11/05/2020: Nameserver - 0h09m43sec - Maintenance work, *.her.st domains didn’t resolve during that time, everything else was fine
  • 01/07/2020: EVERYTHING - 5h12m04sec - Power surge, entire Rack in the DC went offline, our PSU didn’t survive and got replaced.
  • 28/10/2022: EVERYTHING - 0h15m04sec - Migrated to a bigger and faster server, staggered downtime per vm, no data loss.
  • 29/10/2022: EVERYTHING - 0h02m00sec - IPv6 assignment to NICs failed, fixed by rebooting the server.
  • 19/01/2023: DNS/Reveser Proxy - 0h04m00sec - Docker Overlay FS’s grew too big, had to reclaim some disk space.
  • 28/10/2024: DNS/Reveser Proxy - 5h33m00sec - Host moved to a different DC, Server was online, Proxy/VPN were down.
  • UPCOMING END OF NOV - <24h - Host moving the dedicated servers to the new DC

Additional downtimes not explicitly stated / not included in the total downtime:

Two quarterly node reboots for updates, taking less than 3 minutes each.

How do I order?

1. Configure your Plan

Configurables KVM LXC Docker Web*
Base Price N/A N/A N/A $1.00
CPU (Dedicated) $3.75 $3.75 $4.00 N/A
CPU (Shared) $1.00 $1.00 $1.50 N/A
RAM (GB) $1.25 $1.00 $1.50 N/A
NVME (GB) $0.15 $0.15 $0.20 $1.00*
IPv4 $3.00 $3.00 N/A N/A
IPv6 $0.00 $0.00 N/A N/A
Network 1Gbit 1Gbit 1Gbit 1Gbit
DDoS Prot 1Tbit 1Tbit 1Tbit 1Tbit

*Web: You will get sftp (scp, lftp) access to your webroot. You will need to provide a ssh public key. No rsync/ftp support. We will manage your TLS on our nginx reverse proxy with Let’s Encrypt. 1$ Plan comes with 1GB of NVME storage. Preferably paid yearly.

  • Network: 1Gbit fair use. 1TB/m considered fair per 5$. (If you spend 20$ you get 5TB)
  • Docker: You have to provide a docker-compose.yml file. I’ll run it for you.
  • LXC / Docker: RAM/Disk/CPU scaling on demand (usually) without reboots.
  • Backups for LXC on request and additional cost.

PLEASE NOTE THAT LXC OUTPERFORMS KVM IN MOST CASES DUE TO LOWER OVERHEAD ONLY USE KVM IF YOU NEED A CUSTOM KERNEL OR THE LXC CONTAINER DOESN’T WORK FOR YOU
