It's your loss! + +My second thought was hostkey, They got excellent support, and cheapest price comparing with other service me compared. So be it. I paid €3 to get one. + +The server was great at first. But when it comes to custom OS installation because I want my server runs Arch linux, things got frustrating. The server supports me mount custom OS installer from their library, but even it shows me that mounted successfully, i still can't boot from ISO, not saying start installation.. + +There is where excellent support comes from.

I totally fucked up, I googled and googled. Finally I found that in official wiki, this issue has a solution. The solution tells me that if we had static IP, we can get network through `systemd-network` service which comes with iso. It's very tricky. + +It associates another service called `systemd-resolve`.

No matter how hard I try, I just can't ssh into my server. That's unacceptable! I immediately start looking for other provider.. + +Then, I found Tencent Cloud.. + +I already have one server of it, based on Shanghai. It is good, but building a website in it would require me to register, so I never consider using it. + +I rent a server that based on Hong Kong, cost me ¥42 per month. But this has really good quality. even now at 2:05am when I'm writing this essay. It still performs stable connection. + +First thing I got hands on Tencent Hong Kong server, I changed OS to arch linux, just as before. But Tencent doesn't provide arch linux ISO, so i found some blogs on internet to know how to do it. And I succeed. + + + +There involves three parts to install arch: + +- Mount ISO to driver and delete other thing +- Manually add entry of ArchISO to grub +- Static IP is of internal whereas hostkey is public. + +So now, I got a server that running Arch Linux. Next, buiding a website on it! |
