News and notes from VPSNine: the relaunch, how we are building it, and what running servers teaches us.
- How we keep your VPS isolated
The firewall that sits in front of every VPSNine server, what it stops your neighbours from doing, and what we still have to test.
- Inside the VPSNine panel
The account side of my.vpsnine.com is built. Sign-up, two-factor, SSH keys, API tokens, sessions and an activity log, and why it looks like a terminal.
- VPSNine is coming back
VPSNine sold Linux VPS from 2011. After a few quiet years it is relaunching on new NVMe hardware, operated by Tekari. Here is what is planned.
- What "59 seconds" means
The old site promised a server in 59 seconds. For the relaunch it is our target from paid order to SSH-ready, and this is how we will measure it.
- Why there's a vps9 CLI
We built a command-line tool alongside the panel, on the same public API. What it does, why the API came first, and where to get it.
- Why we're building our own control panel
VPSNine is writing its own billing, control panel, API and CLI instead of buying them. What that gets you, what it costs us, and where it stands.
