Hello vpsBoard,
This is a cross-post from LowEndTalk because I realized all people over at LET are longer there. http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/21389/2-domains-free-lowendstack-invisionbox-nodeshack-and-many-more-on-auction
Bidding starts at $1, minimum increments of $1, only rounded bids...
Sounds like they provisioned you in an extreme budget datacenter and now throttle you after they migrated you to their CC location to make you want to go back.
Just a random thought.
Also, it's an interesting concept of how they protect their credit cards:
- Encrypt cards with a public key stored on the normal servers
- Send encrypted card to special billing server
- Billing server decrypts without giving information back, instead processes the payment
Also give Varnish a try if you are high on unused RAM anyway. It will cache pages so that when you get a pulse of visits it won't generate the same page 10 times per second.
