Google Compute Engine Vs Namecheap VPS Pulsar

If you need a cheap server for running your website, there's plenty of company out there offering really cheap VPS server but it capable of handling some thousands of visitors daily for your website traffics.

You don't need to start big when you are just starting your own website or blog, just choose the smallest VPS available will be enough to handle the incoming traffics of visitors of your website, without any lag or any kind of security, performance issues.

I've been using Namecheap VPS service for over 5 years now, so I probably i know it better than other services I've never used. Namecheap has really good service, good customer service and product, it has been my favorite.

Then i recently just tried the Google Compute Engine, it is part of Google cloud platform, to be honest i am using it as production server because it's kind of difficult to manage it.

But from the price perspective here's compassion of Namecheap VPS vs Google VPS.

Namecheap VPS pulsar specs and price

2 CPU Cores
2 GB RAM
40 GB SSD RAID 10
1000 GB Bandwidth monthly limit
$11.88 / monthly

Google Compute Engine Specs and price

2 CPU Cores
2 GB RAM
40 GB SSD
n/a Bandwidth monthly limit
$43.03  / monthly

With GCE you can customize different CPU type, size of RAM, etc while Namecheap only offer 2 different kinds of Virtual server, Pulsar as above specs and Quasar slightly have higher specs. So adjusted GCE to have the same specs as Namecheap VPS pulsar.

From the cost, Namecheap is much cheaper than GCE, about 4 times. But i don't believe in cheaper is better, everything match its price. I don't know exactly how, but maybe GCE 4 times better than Namecheap, maybe not.

Next i will try Amazon S3 and compare it to both Google Compute Engine and Namecheap VPS Pulsar.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database.

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab. Look for the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin, then install and activate it. 2. Create a New Spring Boot Project: After restarting Netbeans IDE, you can create a new project with Spring Boot. Go to File > New Project. Under Categories, select Maven, then choose "Spring Boot Basic." 3. Add Dependencies: With your new project created, open the po

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl
