Securedragon is superb. I have a 512MB OpenVz running a couple of Wordpress sites. Near-flawless uptime and the loadavg seems forever stuck on 0 0 0 :)

It's lowend marketing done right. Position yourself as the cool guy who's doing everything to deliver awesome service at rock-bottom prices. Be everyone's best buddy. Be publicly vocal: got an issue? Hey I'm right on it! Skylar did it well and built a fan base.

Crissic is seriously oversold, some servers to the point of frustration. I had a 1 GB OVZ there and eventually just cancelled it. Support was useless, would go through the motions of "fixing" it and achieve nothing. I have no idea what Quadranet is like. But they can only be better.

@drmike: While I appreciate the fact that you "thanked" my post, I don't like the insinuations that you left in your previous post. It leaves the reader with the idea that boltvm might hire young kids who snoop in customers files. You have no evidence of this (as you've said), so why even...

I have a Boltvm 1GB Thunder. Been excellent since Day 1 (Feb 9, 2015), except for a minor interruption during the infamous IP swap. It runs a 20-site Piwik install. Lots of crap gets thrown at boltvm, and no doubt he has made some mistakes. But he delivers a solid OpenVz service IMO...

As root, do: cd /var/lib/php5 mkdir sessions chmod 1733 sessionsThen restart the PHP service.

I always used phpMyAdmin and have just recently switched to adminer. It seems much lighter (in terms of server impact) and I prefer the simpler, uncluttered interface. So far quite happy with it :)

I have a $19/year 1GB WLC in Florida (Dimenoc), since March 2014. First year was not great, though not really horrible. Frequent reboots, sometimes poor performance (over-crowding I assumed). I submitted an end-of-billing cancellation in Oct 2014, citing those reasons. In November 2014 I...

Yes, it's there now. Thanks :)

Happy Anniversary! Still patiently waiting for that CentOS 7 template :)

ServInt, around 2003. $49/month for 256MB VPS with CPanel. Was pretty good :)

Of course you can! E-commerce sites do this all this time. I live in Canada, and many large, established US shopping sites won't do business with me. There's no US law that says, "US businesses must accept clients from all countries." A business is free to define who they do and don't do...

That is not what I meant. The quantity of new offers posted on a daily basis on WHT gives evidence of how crowded the VPS hosting field already is. And undoubtably there are many, many more hosts that do not use WHT. Anyone starting a new business is advised to do market research regarding the...

Anyone looked at WHT VPS Offers lately? :) 30-40 new offers every 24 hours (not including the sticky ones). How can a new startup with a measly $10k expect to compete in that chaos, and make a profit? If I had $10k (of someone else's money) and 3 months free time, I'd start a VPS Matching...

Sounds to me like you're complaining :)
