    Why Don't Providers Do This One Simple Thing ... To Make More Money?

    Doesn't WHMCS by default state no refunds on the "add funds" page? Possibly the reason why some providers don't allow it is because they don't want to have refund requests for transactions that were months ago.

    Special offer from XFuse Solutions -_-"

    But didn't XFuse have to assume $5K in debt that Jonny racked up (seem to remember reading in a thread that that's how much they owed CC)? That would be effectively a purchase.

    Special offer from XFuse Solutions -_-"

    XFuse bought the business to access the largish customer base. That's how he plans on making money out of GVH... He has a nice list of people to market to so I am not surprised the newsletters keep coming. I had myself manually unsubscribed so I never got this. :)

    [Confirmed] GreenValueHost being sold to XFuseSolutions

    Among other repeated mistakes Jon literally did 100TB offers twice. He didn't learn. He might have if GVH had been allowed to continue to it's foregone conclusion. He just isn't ethical which is the fundamental issue.  I personally don't see how this deal benefits anybody.

    GreenValueHost, turning a new page!

    Saw that thread and laughed. It pretty much reeks of desperation in my opinion. I don't see why any customer would want to pay higher prices knowing they're going to be put on a node with a whole lot of underpaying customers? Obviously to make that work GVH will have to continue to overload...

    You think your work at home job equals isolation, how about whole town in one building?

    I wonder how much the Mayor of 177 people gets paid... :P

    EIG acquires Arvixe, LLC Assets

    Arvixe is the only shared host I am currently using because I love their reliable fast servers and great support. Let's see if the same service quality continues.

    Do you tell a customer your server specs if he asks?

    We reveal the hardware we use. It's included in a number of advertising threads. #transparency

    Go to providers for cheap / dev / project boxes?

    There are a number of providers which are suitable. I personally recommend Crisisc.net. I use them and have done so for over a year now for different things. Always a snappy box, high uptime and Skylar is great when there are any problems.

    Do you have health insurance?

    No I don't. In New Zealand, GP visits are subsidised and healthcare at the hospital is free. The Government, through Pharmac, funds a wide range of drugs (including cancer drugs) so they are effectively free. It works out great for NZ. I think NZers end up paying around 4 times less than...
