Moonlightglade  

Last updated: 2003-09-24

Hardware: i686 User Mode Linux running on a colo server: The colo server has the following specs: Dual 2.66GHZ Intel Xenon Processor, 533MHz Front Side bus, with 3GB interleaved drr PC2100 RAM and 2 Maxtor 200GB 7200RPM hard drives with an ATA-133 8MB cache. The moonlightglade server can use the following stakes of its UML host: 64MHz CPU, a 2G disk, and 64MB of memory.
Operating system: Redhat Linux 9.0, patched. Possibly moving to gentoo or debian in future, but this is only speculation at this point.
Quota: Free quotas range between 1MB and 50MB, depending on the TOS given to the account holder. Each user gets an individual quota setup based on what they enter on their application form.
Internet connection: Approximately 1MB/sec, depending on the time of day.
Services/programs: FREE to all: ssh, ftp, webspace at http://www.moonlightglade.net/~username FREE, but depending on the assessment of your application form: ability to run: bots, proxies, and service/server type programs. Serving an existing domain name's website from moonlightglade.net's apache webserver via the use of vhosts. mysql databases. email referrers and outgoing mail. (incoming mail planned but not currently avalible) PAID ONLY: irc servers, irc services, anything that requires your own dedicated IP address. Higher quotas (higher then 50MB disk, 3-4gigs transfer a month, 5MB memory, reasonable CPU time, and 1-3 background processes). Programs have been installed upon request of users who ask.
IRC access: BNCs are permitted. Eggdrops are permitted. IRC servers/irc services are permitted only if the account holder pays a small sum of money monthly. bncing is preferred over running irc clients on the shell via ssh.
Background processes allowed: Yes. Typically, there is a limit of 1, 3 or 5 background processes, depending on the type of account, and the resource usage of these background processes. Two bots take up much less resources then an irc server, for example.
Other info: The system is a private server, that runs as a linux platform under UML linux running on a co-located server at theplanet.com's texas datacentre. The colo machine runs a UML linux distro which is provided by www.linode.com. The server moonlightglade.net is a mini dedicated server, or a virtual dedicated server, running under this UML. It is effectively a miniserver running on a much more powerful host server in a colo datacentre. As a result MLG benifits from things like RAID and max CPU usage of Dual 2.66GHz Xeon chips, for example, but don't expect anymore then a 5-50MB disk quota, 1-3 background processes, and a few gigs of data transfer a month. The system administrator personally reviews applications from users requesting an account. His basic TOS is at http://www.moonlightglade.net/shells/rules, and you should visit http://www.moonlightglade.net/shells/apply to apply for an account with him. In order to get an account here you will have to supply a valid REAL name *and* phone number which will be checked, and you will recieve a phone call from the sysadmin (even if international) to check your details and confirm your identity prior to him enabling your account. Plans for accounts are done on an individual basis, quotas given here are only an average. If you apply to run eggdrops on the server and no website, it is likely that you won't get webspace, for example. Each account is tailored to the applicant via details submitted on the application form.
