thekonqueror··on Ask HN: How much you pay for servers?
1K requests/second is impressive. Can you share the domain name that receives these requests?

Can you please share some URLs of faster Magento stores?

I'm working on a similar project that will offer optimization as a service for e-commerce. I'm curious to see what others are doing.

thekonqueror··on CacheP2P – Distributed caching platform
My Chrome 53.0.2785.143 froze within 5 seconds of opening cachep2p.com.
thekonqueror··on Show HN: Txt.wav – Text Animation Library
Nice! My first thought was this is a text-to-speech engine.
thekonqueror··on My first DDoS attack for a $200 ransom
A well configured small / medium instance should easily handle 100 requests/second. My test PHP setup on micro instances serves 1000 requests/second before any signs of slowdown. [1]

All the best.

How will your service be different from Appsumo.com?

thekonqueror··on HN Office Hours with Jared Friedman and Trevor Blackwell
Thanks for your insights. Our early customers also mention that prices are too low.

We are now adding tiered pricing plans and charging for based on usage. I'll make sure to add that in our current YC application too.

thekonqueror··on HN Office Hours with Jared Friedman and Trevor Blackwell
Hi Jared and Trevor,

http://nestify.io founder here. We're improving PHP CMS hosting (WordPress, Drupal) with better scaling, on-page optimizations, better security. We have paying customers and ~100 die-hard users that will be really sad / lose revenues if we shut down.

Should we focus on building our brand while scaling or switch to whitelabel and API services and partner with hosting providers?

thekonqueror··on Ask HN: How to open a business bank account in US as an non-US person?
Try Payoneer[1], it works with Stripe.

thekonqueror··on Ask HN: What are you using for both offline and online backups?
Another happy backblaze user here. I use synctoy to backup data on a local USB drive and let backblaze sync everything to their servers.
thekonqueror··on WordPress now runs a quarter of the web
My test server delivered 3.9 Million pageviews per hour with similar setup[1]

thekonqueror··on A Guide to Fast Page Loads
Wow. Microcaching reduced response time from 25 ms to 3 ms. Thanks!
thekonqueror··on A Guide to Fast Page Loads
I have been using AppTelemetry plugin for rough numbers on each phase of request. This is much better for performance tuning.

Do you have any tips for optimizing PHP, where server response times are poor to begin with? I've been trying to optimize a blog as proof-of-concept[1] but it has plateaued at 1.5s load time.

thekonqueror··on CloudFlare and Google Cloud Platform
I use railgun on a few sites, it does make noticeable difference in page load times.

You can get rackspace startup credit without joining any accelerator. Use this link:

They usually reply in 1 business day for these applications.

thekonqueror··on DigitalOcean: Introducing Our London Region
I assume they look for name on ID that matches name on payment method. That's what I used to do when I worked in a hosting company ~10 years ago.

This way, if someone has a stolen credit card, there's a very good chance, they won't have a matching government ID with same name. Hence obvious fraud.

thekonqueror··on Ask HN: Good Canadian hosting providers?
I used iWeb for almost a year in 2010. Never had any issues with outage, network performance. Later switched to OVH Canada for lower costs, but I would pick iWeb over OVH if cost wasn't a concern.
thekonqueror··on Show HN: Planleaf – Manage tasks completely over email
Nice idea!

On backend, how do you authenticate the email sender? Would someone be able to flood a task list by spoofing an email ID?

thekonqueror··on Ask HN: What new gTLDs are available now and where should I buy them?
Try gandi.net. I've had good experience with .io and gTLD domains with them.

thekonqueror··on Betty – English-like interface for the command line
Chance for my Plug: I'm using similar approach with cloud management at http://webservice.management. It allows you to manage VMs and run tasks across them in english. (Create a small vm with node.js or build lamp stack on vm1 and so on)

https://webservice.management

Webservice.management is better cloud management tool with NLP and batteries included for automation. I've been working on this for a few months now and got the website live this week.

thekonqueror··on Last Minute Advice for YC Applicants
We're working on cloud automation using NLP, so anyone with cloud infrastructure would benefit from it. But I see your point. Thanks for the advise.
thekonqueror··on Last Minute Advice for YC Applicants
First time applicant here. I was wondering, How should I ask for feedback on my application from YC alums without sounding like spam email?
