A common issue when running low capacity Virtual Private Servers, is running out of memory. One of the first indications of low available memory is a sudden series of segmentation faults (aka: segfaults). Segfaulting is a common occurrence when running out of available RAM inside your VPS.
Before buying or renting your servers, you need to weigh the benefits of either choice, and make a decision on how to handle your IT Infrastructure. This process requires some planning.
One of the most common difficulties in rationalizing the value of managed services, is undervaluing the time and cost of keeping your server up and running. Sure the server itself is relatively inexpensive but ongoing “hidden” costs will easily exceed its initial purchase price:
Once you understand the hidden costs, you'll be equipped to determine which service is right for you.

Tomorrow, July 31st, is System Administrator Appreciation Day!
System Administrator Appreciation Day, also known as Sysadmin Day, SysAdminDay or SAAD, was created by system administrator Ted Kekatos. The holiday exists to show appreciation for the work of sysadmins and other IT workers. It is celebrated on the last Friday in July. The first System Administrator Appreciation Day was celebrated on July 28, 2000. The next holiday is Friday, July 31, 2009.
The day has been recognized and promoted by two professional organizations, the League of Professional System Administrators and SAGE/USENIX.
Let's face it, without your friendly SysAdmin, you wouldn't even be able see this page, or read or send email. They are the person who brings you new stuff, like a new laptop, or a new LCD screen. If they don't bring you gifts like these, it's usually not their fault; someone is preventing them from doing it! Sysadmins love to give out nice new shiny things, because they know new computers are usually much more reliable! So, what gift are you buying for your SysAdmin this year? Remember, it's the thought that counts!
Remember, well-managed systems keep you from wanting to do this to your computer. How well managed are your systems?
