    Stock Market

    I've always wanted to get into stocks since I work at a financial firm but never really understood it so I figured I'd be better off putting my money elsewhere. I do get free stock from my company though so I like to keep an eye on that to see how much free money I'm getting.  :lol:

    Whatever happened to Xen?

    I used to be a Xen fanboy back in the day, then I started having to manage nodes and OpenVZ won my heart. Even as an end-user I prefer OpenVZ over Xen or KVM.

    Is there a way to automate kvm re/installs?

    Why not install OpenVZ inside the KVM and run your testing inside the OpenVZ? I don't know if you can run KVM inside KVM but if you can then you can setup the base KVM to run a PXE server.

    Is there a way to automate kvm re/installs?

    I know that SolusVM has an option for PXE boot, but this is setup on the provider's side and not something the clients can mess with.

    chepest 4 core dedi

    Setup takes about 72 hours and their support isn't half bad (not as good as Dacentec but a lot better than Commercial Media). The IPv6 is a /64 but you need to open a ticket requesting it (mine was issued in less than 24 hours over the weekend). Keep in mind that the RAID is hardware RAID also...

    WebhostingTalk catches the LE* disease

    Not anymore. It was way to much work and iNET pretty much ignored us because the income FreeWHT was generating was the lowest of all of their online properties (which I understand but I had a lot of good ideas that were dismissed, although we got to beta test all new versions of vBulletin before...

    Ionity Transfers KC Customers to Batts

    I've just never liked anything about IIS. I'm unfortunate to work at a company where 99% of our webservers are IIS and being the weekend nightshift Windows Admin means I usually only see things when they're broke or need maintenance so I try to avoid an unnecessary contact with Windows when I...

    Kloxo installations compromised

    What do you mean? Can you be more specific in what you're trying to do? Looks like Rack911 found a critical root exploit within minutes of looking at the code. They won't do a free audit on the software but they recommend avoiding anything based off Kloxo including Kloxo-MR. So now I've been...

    Looking for 8 Core Dedi

    If you want, I can see if I can transfer my CommercialMedia server that's about to expire. It has 8 cores total for $35/month but they only accept checks (no online payment option which is why I'm leaving them).

    WebhostingTalk catches the LE* disease

    I go to WHT when I want to learn something new or have more advanced technical questions. It's still my preferred forum for anything hosting/coding related. I also only buy services from their Offers section but that's because, like others have said, they have a vast sea of offers and the few...

    How to have a VPS failover to another VPS if the first one goes down?

    I've done this with both load balancing (varnish) and DNS (DNSMadeEasy). The most reliable method I've used was with the load balancer but the load balancer is a single point of failure still so DNS failover is the most reliable because it's multiple, completely redundant front facing servers...

    Do you accept Bitcoins as a payment method? Why? Why not? (Plus other questions)

    I am about to institute a no refund policy for Bitcoin payments. BitPay does make it a bit difficult to refund a payment and trying to get the clients to assist is like pulling teeth (you would think if a client wants a refund they would respond to e-mails/tickets promptly and follow...

    Do you accept Bitcoins as a payment method? Why? Why not? (Plus other questions)

    People will check anything. We used to have the following dropdown menu when clients would open a ticket: "Did you check our website or Knowledge Base for your answer?": 1) No, please close my ticket. 2) Yes. 99% of support tickets selected "No, please close my ticket.", of those 99% at...

    Do you accept Bitcoins as a payment method? Why? Why not? (Plus other questions)

    People won't read it, that's why we make WHMCS throw an error if they're behind a VPN or proxy so the order doesn't go through. The number of tickets we receive now has dropped a bit.

    Do you accept Bitcoins as a payment method? Why? Why not? (Plus other questions)

    Why is volatility a factor? I would NEVER recommend holding onto Bitcoins unless you're doing it as an investment or you plan on buying something with them. As a company, your safest option is to let the clients pay in bitcoins but you convert them to your local currency as soon as they arrive.
