[DNSEver] 웹포워딩 서비스가 유료로 제공될 예정입니다

这是什么意思呢,DNSever免费将要转向收费?

안녕하세요. DNS에버(www.DNSEver.com)입니다.

           
저희가 2004년 6월 이래로 DNSEver.com의 서비스를 모두 무료로 제공하고 있었습니다만,
2012년 2월 1일 이후부터는 웹포워딩 서비스가 유료화될 예정입니다.
           
저희가 웹포워딩 서비스를 계속 무료로 제공하고자 많은 고심과 노력을 하였지만, 최근들어 사용자가 폭증하고 트래픽이 늘어서 네트워크             회선과 서버를 대대적으로 증설하여 안정적인 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 유료화를 할 수 밖에 없게 되었습니다.
             
웹포워딩의 요금은 1도메인당 1년에 9,900원(부가세포함)으로 책정될 예정이며, 웹포워딩외에 다른 DNS 서비스는 변경없이 계속 무료로 제공됩니다.
             
2012년 2월 1일 이후로는 웹포워딩을 이용하려면 유료로 비용을 지불해야 됩니다만, 기존 사용자 중에서 유료로 전환하지 않을 경우에는 광고가 표시가 됩니다.
            (기존의 웹포워딩 사용자는 광고를 보는 조건으로 계속 무료로 사용할 수 있습니다)
             
안정적인 서비스를 제공하기 위한 조치이므로 양해하여 주시기 바랍니다.

관련된 자세한 사항은 http://blog.kr.dnsever.com/?p=90 의 글을 참조하시기 바             랍니다.

감사합니다.

Google App Engine Leaving Preview

Dear Google App Engine Application Administrator,

In May at Google I/O we announced that Google App Engine would be
leaving Preview status later this year. As part of Google's long-term
commitment to App Engine, we are also updating our policies, pricing
and support model to reflect its status as a fully supported Google
product. We plan to roll this out in the second half of September but
we wanted to let you know what this will mean for you and your App
Engine applications. Please be aware that the timeline may change, but
you can keep up to date on our progress on the App Engine blog. We
plan to send a second email once the new pricing is in effect.

For all paid applications using the High Replication Datastore (HRD),
we will be introducing a new 99.95% uptime SLA. The current draft form
of the SLA can be found at http://code.google.com/appengine/sla.html.
For apps not using HRD, we will also soon release a tool that will
assist with the migration from Master/Slave (M/S) to HRD (you can sign
up to be in the Trusted Tester for the tool here:
http://goo.gl/3jrXu). We would like to emphasize that the SLA only
applies to applications that have both signed up to be a paid App and
use the HRD Datastore.
App Engine has a 3 year deprecation policy. This policy applies to the
entire App Engine platform with the exception of "trusted tester" and
"experimental" APIs. This is intended to allow you to develop your app
with confidence knowing that you will have sufficient notice if we
plan to make any backward-incompatible API changes that will impact
your application.
We will be updating the Terms of Service with language more geared
towards businesses. A draft of the new ToS can be found at
http://code.google.com/appengine/updated_terms.html.
We are introducing new Premier Accounts that will have access to
Operational Support, invoice-based billing, and allow companies to
create as many applications as they need for $500 per account per
month (plus usage fees). If you are interested in a Premier Account,
please contact us at appengine_premier_requests@google.com.

We will be moving to a new pricing structure that ensures ongoing
support of App Engine. Details of the new structure can be found at
http://www.google.com/enterprise/cloud/appengine/pricing.html. This
includes lowering the free quotas for all Apps. Almost all
applications will be billed more under the new pricing. Once App
Engine leaves preview this pricing will immediately go into effect,
but we've done a few things to ease the transition:

If you sign up for billing or update your budget between now and
October 31st we will give you a $50 credit.
In order to help you understand your future costs we are now providing
a side by side comparison of your old bill to what your new bill would
be. You can find these in your Admin Console under "Billing history"
by clicking on any of your "Usage Reports". Please review this
information. It's important that you study this projected billing and
begin any application tuning that you want to be in effect prior to
the new bill taking effect.
We have created an Optimization Article to help you determine how you
could optimize your application to reduce your costs under the new
model.
We have created a Billing FAQ based on the questions many of our
customers have had about the new pricing model.
The new pricing model charges are based on the number of instances you
have running. This is largely dictated by the App Engine Scheduler,
but for Python we will not be supporting concurrent requests until
Python 2.7 is live. Because of this, and to allow all developers to
adjust to concurrent requests, we have reduced the price of all
Frontend Instance Hours by 50% until November 20th.
Finally, if you have any additional questions or concerns please
contact us at appengine_updated_pricing@google.com.

In order to graduate from Preview status, we've made and continue to
make large investments in platform features, scalability, and
stability that your applications will benefit from. Thank you for your
support, commitment, and feedback on App Engine as it has developed.
We look forward to working with you for years to come!

Thank You,
The App Engine Team

You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update
you about important changes to your Google App Engine account.

Update on changes to Google Apps

Google Apps 免费版账户再次缩水,新申请只有10个账户数! 已申请用户暂时不变。
想起最早申请Google Apps还是在2007年的时候伴随着RU免费域名的兴旺,那时免费账户最大有2000个。之后似乎是在2009年初?这一数量降低到50个。到现在的10个，难说Google Apps以后不会取消免费版,全面推广收费版。

Hello,

We recently announced upcoming changes to the maximum number of users for Google Apps. We want to let you know that, as a current customer, the changes will not affect you.

As of May 10, any organization that signs up for a new account will be required to use the paid Google Apps for Business product in order to create more than 10 users. We honor our commitment to all existing customers and will allow you to add more than 10 users to your account for pcbeta.net.ru at no additional charge, based on the limit in place when you joined us.

Sincerely,

The Google Apps Team

百度有啊为何败北

百度旗下电子商务网站"有啊"日前正式公布"调整"计划， 所谓的调整就是C2C业务全部一锅端停掉，而之前辛辛苦苦招揽来的商户将可选被转移到乐酷天与耀点100，前者是百度与乐天合资的电子商城，后者与百度有 着说不清道不明的交易关系。有啊这么一调整，意味着百度在C2C领域正式向淘宝认输，而淘宝正是当初有啊设定的最重要竞争对手。

　　有啊为 什么会输？百度是中国最大的搜索引擎，把握着无数网站的流量命脉，每年仅仅从各种产品的竞价广告也获利颇丰，为什么百度旗下的C2C网站有啊却如此惨淡。 而另外一家互联网巨头腾讯旗下的拍拍状况更好一点，尽管距离淘宝的市场地位仍然有非常大的差距，但是腾讯仍然在坚持努力。

　　让我们回到 2008年百度有啊上线的时候，那正是淘宝名气最盛的时候，也是电子商务纠纷快速浮现的时候。我们对于百度有啊有着极大的期待，想要知道手握流量屠刀的百 度能否与淘宝有一拼之力，毕竟多一个竞争对手无论对消费者还是业界都是一件好事儿。百度也迅速在搜索结果中整合了有啊的商品，这一做法也确实为有啊带来了 短暂的繁荣。

　　但是百度很快发现了不对劲，因为贡献给有啊的流量本来都是可以获得现金流的，尽管百度可以接受短期的收入损失，但是长期贡 献给有啊的流量都未带来大的起色，这时候包括李彦宏在内的百度管理层坐不住了，倒也真不是百度亏不起这些钱，要是最后真能跻身前三倒也不错，只是眼看着凡 客、京东这样的B2C疯狂吸金，百度觉得自己的投入产出不成比例，另外即使坚持下去也不一定有好的结果，百度认为有啊继续坚持下去偏离了核心价值。

　 　所以仅仅一年后，百度就开始大幅减少了对有啊的流量导入与预算投入，在前狼后虎又粮草紧缺的时候，有啊就算再想振作也回天乏术，这时候的有啊其实已经名 存实亡了，百度需要的只是宣布散伙的勇气而已。今天还特地去看了看Alexa数据，百度有啊占据百度流量比例仅0.15%，与百度风云榜、百度词典等冷门 产品持平，更排在百度开放平台、百度指数、百度联盟的后面。有啊已死，有事烧纸。

　而反观拍拍网，从2005年上线到现在已经近六年，一直坚持不懈地进行推广与流量导入。腾讯与百度最大的差别，它想要做的是在线生活概念，所以在 线购物作为其中不可或缺的一环，自然是志在必得。而回过头来看拍拍网使用的大多是腾讯已经整理好的资源，包括弹窗、即时通讯、空间等现成的资源，并不直接 对腾讯的收入模式造成影响，再加上拍拍自身的营收增长，只要不亏太多对腾讯而言就算是赚到了，而拍拍对于盘活财付通的在线支付链条更是功不可没。

　 　从有啊身上，更多看出的是典型的拍脑袋决策，后期又缺少相关的资源配套与坚持。另外一个有趣的话题是，乐酷天什么时候关闭？作为百度与乐天的合作项目， 它与有啊一样挂着Beta字样，Alexa排名仅仅15866，身边很多朋友几乎都没有听说过这网站，就算不死估计也不远了。

pipni.cz 再次宕机

离上次pipni宕机 没几天,今天VPS又DOWN了(时间是上午)到现在都还没有恢复。
更新:据pipni官方说VPS暂停是由于受到来自海外的大规模DOS攻击.

频繁的DOWN机和申请人数急剧增加有关,各个服务器都处于爆满状态.
曾经看到pipni的monitoring统计信息,母鸡Load Averages持续都在100以上(4核CPU负载超过20就已经算高了),磁盘使用也已经超过90%了。

pipni vps目前已经关闭免费,注册页面已删,应该可以稳定了。
下面的申请数量不成比例,所有系统总和都没Debian数量多。
Debian  1619
Slackware  229
Ubuntu  177
Gentoo  60
ISPconfig (WebAdmin + PhpMyAdmin + WebMail + AwStats)  52
Celkem  2137

Linux系统我还是偏爱Slackware。

pipni down?

pipni.cz是捷克排行第五的网络托管公司，它提供的免费空间已经有很久的历史了，是一个老牌的免费空间提供商。pipni.cz提供的免费空间支持顶级域名绑定，有5G空间容量，100G流量，支持FTP、PHP、mySQL、电子邮局等。

但是就在几十分钟之前VPS突然宕机(当时在SSH上,连接被中断), 也许是服务器挂了? pipni这一宕机直接导致我的网站 (不是这个日志)无法访问.这下糟了数据都还没有备份呢.
