comment PostgreSQL slow commit performance
+1. When I saw the IOPS numbers I thought "cheap totally overloaded VPS". This is beyond comical, even for the slow SATA discs. Good catch - the numbers are just ridiculous, something is VERY wrong here.

comment first time building Hyper V hardware requirements
As comment to 2: an SSD is about 100+ times faster than a HD - so doubling that is not really making that much a difference.

comment How does a browser request from CNAME?
More exact: The host name is the one typed into the browser, the DNS resolution is irrelevant at this point. The user types"www.domain.com" then this is what is in the request.

And you tried that out with how many hundred different brands of raid controllers? Just to put SOME quantifiable information into your post.

comment Activate Windows 8 with Server 2008 R2 KMS Host
That sort of is the problem - the Win8 KMS is the Server 2012 grade key. It works on the 2008 R2 host post patch, but you need to have the proper key. THAT SAID: you say you have a Win8 KMS host key - that IS a server 2012 key.

comment Use MikroTik Bridge as a Public IP Firewall for Public Hosted Servers
It will also make thigns easier as you can do firewalling on the routing level. It is standard to do so - I always use a routing step for that. The network hop is totally irrelevant if you have the processing power to handle it. Always had that step in - i.e. use a router as firewall, not a bridge.

Consder hiring someone who knows what he is doing. Also consider whether your mikrotik simply is too small. I run that stuff - in a much larger and more complex scenario - without any issues.

comment How to expose SQL 2008 database to the world through the Internet?
Plus note that you do not expose the DATABASE but the SERVER INSTANCE - with all databases that it hosts. Isolating the databases in question may be advisable.

comment How to check if an IP address is free on a network
+1. If the customers does not have an allocation plan, he deserves what he gets - namely a clueless contractor setting up a bad ip.
