Or ever run out of control? I don't have historical data for my instance, or the human memory. I'm also on Postfix and OpenDKIM, and it's been rock-solid.

Ever run close to the limit on systemctl restart of services after a pacman/apt/apk/dnf/zypper/etc. upgrade? Or due to the package manager itself?

With Luna Node, you can install whatever OS you want from an ISO image, so if you want to configure swap, you can. > CACloud's SSD VPSs are located at 151 Front, providing excellent > latency for Ottawa and Canada in general. Luna Node's Toronto data centre is in the Cogent Data Center at 245 Consumers Rd in North York. My ping latency to my Luna Node box via Teksavvy DSL is a pretty constant 13ms. My latency to my OVH box is a pretty constant 18ms. My latency to www.canadianhosting.com is likewise a pretty constant 18ms. So *shrug* no idea if it's just because Teksavvy happens to have a better route to Luna Node, or what. > CACloud has been completely hassle-free to control or have set up > full mail server ports, and PTR records, both ipv4 and ipv6. Luna Node too. They also have a nice API (which is unlikely to be of much use unless you're setting up / managing dozens of VPSes.) Regards, Dianne.

I am still paying $5/month, maybe because I am grandfathered. their low-end offering has more disk space than Luna Node (20GB vs 15GB) but half the RAM (512MB vs 1GB). This is more than enough RAM to run * Mailman * BIND authoritative / caching DNS server * Postfix mail server * Apache web server * opendkim with room to spare.

In my experience many VPS do not come with any swap. Casual comparisons of VPS may not be valid. CACloud's SSD VPSs are located at 151 Front, providing excellent latency for Ottawa and Canada in general. CACloud's service has been consistently and remarkably _excellent_ over 15 years for me. I don't know how they do it when charging so little. Maybe because I treat support persons with respect and appreciation. CACloud has been completely hassle-free to control or have set up full mail server ports, and PTR records, both ipv4 and ipv6. --- Are there official minutes of the general meeting, including the list of atendees, quorum call, and votes on all resolutions?
