Now that Let's Encrypt is out of beta, I figured I'd give this topic a bump to see what everyone's experience with them has been. Francisco, what happened at your globalsign meeting when you brought the topic up? Or has it been so long that you forget? :)

The same could be said about coffee (cafeine), soda (sugar), and practically any food or beverage. And that effect could be a positive one, it all depends upon the person. Of course if we're talking about American beer, that's really just coloured water and probably wouldn't have much an effect...

After being treated rather poorly by a provider, who shall remain nameless for now :), I was curious to know what your ideal customer would consist of. I always thought I was a pretty good example of one (9 support tickets in over a year, all of which were problems on the provider's side; use...

I think Francisco was referring to your customer's sticking it out for a month (or 21 days). Will you, at the least, be crediting them those 21 days? :)

@DomainBop thanks for the links and re-assurance about my other choices. I will probably just stick to those, and not renew my WLS VPSes - I've already got more than enough as it is :)

I am actually in the process of moving my Dovecot/Postfix setup to RamNode. I installed it on WLS about a year ago just as a test (because at the time I had absolutely no experience with mail servers). I have a few WLS VPSes, and this is the first time I've had a problem - then again, I really...

I have a Postfix/Dovecot mail server setup on m WeLoveServers VPS. The setup has 4 rarely used email accounts on it, and is secured against relay and other common mail server abuse exploits. I don't send much email from the accounts, and really just use them for collecting and processing (sieve)...

Well, by the time AI has reached the point where it could conclude that its host should start killing off humanity, humanity will have already started downloading the contents of their 'grey matter' to robotic/hybrid hosts in their quest for immortality. So the AI powered robots would basically...

I was looking over the posts on LEB, and noticed a few about short domain names. I can understand the popularity/use of short urls for websites, email addresses, etc. But what are those cryptic (ie k4oq.org) domains used for? Just curious :)

Fog is a nice DNS API and Cloud Services API wrapper for Ruby.

Just gave it a look and signed up to try it out. I then noticed that it doesn't use any secure connection at all, not even for signing in - tyring HTTPS just gives one an error page :D So that's not going on any of my fave lists. As far as I'm concerned there is just no excuse for any web...

How about using Rage4 DNS failover with two load balancing servers? Or would that be overkill :)

I would say you are assuming quite a lot there :) I had a part-time job at 14, full-time by 16 living on my own, and knew quite few other 16-18 year olds in the same situation. There are a lot of self-supporting teens from broken families and other not-so-great situations, out there, also quite...

Signed up, and will test out a couple of 'throwaway' domains I have. Nice that they have a free tier with 250k hits per domain allowed. They sure do have a lot of configuration options available. Anyone know of a good site/guide explaining some of the options - like DNSSEC, benefits and...

I realize this is an old post, but I was wondering if the Rage4 service was geared mainly towards EU customers or would North American based sites benefit just as much. If it is more EU, then are there any NA equivalents?
