        @scottalanmiller What are your ping times to various regions of the US? I want to stick a PBX on one of these as a trial.

            Just install your own of either. That's not something that comes from your VPS host, you just install whatever software you want.

              We plan to do that too.

                Our primary web server is pinging between 4.5ms and 5.5ms. So that one is very good.

                  Pretty consistent 20ms to the IAD Virginia datacenter.

                    Not to thrilled that it appears that console access is over an open HTTP connection. Even worse, the connection specifically says it's unencrypted.

                      My username and password that works for the console side of C@C does not work for members.cloudatcost.com

                      Anyone else have this problem?

                        The biggest factor here is that CloudatCost comes with console access!!

                        With the generous bandwidth package, that makes this a perfect platform for an SSH proxy.

                        Was gonna need one soon, but that ship is sailing away on a course to oblivion. Eh, at least I can have a nice little repository, PHP platform, or other things to get me up to speed.

                          Who are they peering with? For that price, I would have to expect this to be Cogent or some other el-cheapo bandwidth.

                            Console side? Do you mean your root login?

                              That's the first thing that we built to test the platform. The Jump Station (aka SSH Proxy) was the first thing in.

                                These are not CentOS minimal installs 😞 this makes me sad.

                                I am very much in the camp that all installs should start as minimal and server ops should be forced to add the things they need.

                                  Agreed, but this is our chance to give that feedback and maybe get that changed.

                                  Having currently Ubuntu (14.10) would be good too.

                                    @scottalanmiller I have my dev2 system purchased. it is now in process of installing the Incredible PBX for Asterisk-GUI setup from the PBX in a flash crew. I want to see what this looks like compared to the FreePBX GUI. Been a LONG ass time since I tinkered with what this new one is based off of.

                                        @AmanBhogal take note of the above.

                                        Your CentOS install options are GREAT.

                                        But they are inherently flawed because I want a system as locked down as possible. that means I need as few packages installed as possible.

                                        In order to do that, i NEED to start from the "minimal" install option.

                                        Yeah having one with a LAMP stack is nice as an option. If I was going to spin up a web server I would use it in a heartbeat.

                                          Hi Jared,
                                          Just spoke with the team here.
                                          When selecting packages for CentOS if you choose any of the CentOS-XX-32/64 bit it should be a minimal install.

                                          for example: CentOS-7-64bit.
                                          LAMP is selected only by choosing that OS out of the drop down.

                                            @AmanBhogal I will go spin up a 6.5 install later and verify my memory, but things like wget are not in a minimal install to the best of my recollection. I know for a fact that it is not in CentOS7. but as I was spinning this system up as CentOS 6.5 to test a PBX install, i did not choose that option.

                                            i did not check for any other packages, just that one that I am used to having to install on my CentOS7 VM's.
