New More Robust Host and a Glype Proxy for You!

After seven years of loyalty to 1and1.com I’ve gone ahead and transferred the site and all its contents and put them into my newly purchased VPS over in New York at RamNode who have been fantastic to me since the second I was interested in their services.

For a lesser cost than what I was previously paying per month I gain increased control and security over the entire virtualized container. Gone are the days of internal errors when load spikes. The speed of this host is also pushed to its limits as it is running on a SSD and what appears to be an incredibly fast network connection.

While I will still be using 1and1 for DNS nameservers and MX server purposes, the cost will be much lower and again the control much higher which is what I expected from 1and1 initially. They’re not a bad host, they simply have so many people and systems to monitor that they limited some values to make life simpler for them in particular when multiple customers are utilizing the same hardware.

Secondly a proxy script I’m very familiar with has made its way to Nobreaks. Visit https://dev.lightspeedta.co/glype or find it in the side bar to use it! On this new hardware the speed is great and might come in handy one day when a firewall bars your way.

Glype is giving me trouble on and off so I’ve added all alternative to the sidebar temporarily

Scratch that, after some digging I found out that some settings were conflicting which caused youtube not to load period and facebook to load the mobile version always. Now facebook loads the usual site and youtube is working fantastic with it’s custom plugin that allows for full high quality streaming where available.

Mad props to kvnlod over at the http://proxy.org forums for the recent update to the youtube plugin. Without it, all videos would stream at their lowest resolution and trust me, I tested it, and it sucked.

Enjoy!
