    Twitter campaigns

    Anyone here having any success with them? I just started an ad-campaign for vpsBoard on Twitter and so far the results are so-so. Namely, I wanted to have promoted tweets and URLs that display to those who follow other accounts on Twitter in an effort to attract some new followers to @vpsBoard...

    If that's the case, can always report it and we'll remove it. Otherwise, you have 60 minutes after posting to edit. Some say it's not long enough, some say it's too long.

    The fall of Commercial Media?

    I live in a small town. I don't have online bill pay for my utilities. I work a normal 8AM - 5PM type job, Monday - Friday. The exact same hours these places are open to deposit payment via cash or check, in person. :| You can also go in both places and pay with a card, too, but still a PITA...

    GreenValueHost outsources customer support to India.

    It's not chump change but there has to be at least 20+ that do that or more, so not really a small elite group he is in. $65,000/YR revenue is roughly 800~ clients assuming they pay $7/mo. Not 'small', but not brag worthy either after the cost of everything. Take home pay after the cost of all...

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

    I guess another thing is, how simple is it to 'cash' your BitCoins that was paid to you by your clients into a form of currency you can use to pay your bills, employees, etc? Compared to say, PayPal or 2CO where you can just send it to a bank and it'll be there in 3-5 days?

    Q4 2013 Lowendtalk Top Provider Poll Results

    I'm saying that if I have a server with (for example) JustHost, and a server with BlueHost, I don't want the votes for these two brands to just be combined and tallied under 'Endurance International Group'. I may like JustHost and dislike Bluehost. Just because the two brands are owned by the...

    DDoS Filtering: CNServers VS Staminus VS BlackLotus VS CloudFlare

    What about BlackLotus and CloudFlare? Anyone have experience with those?

    DDoS Filtering: CNServers VS Staminus VS BlackLotus VS CloudFlare

    I suppose not all of these are directly comparable, as the last two are generally more expensive options than the first two, though price doesn't mean they're better or worse. As most of you know, the traffic here is filtered via CNServers. It does it's job well the vast majority of the time...

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

    Curious who here accepts payments via Bitcoins for web hosting clients and how that's going for you. I think there might be a little reluctance from some to do business with someone paying via Bitcoin initially, and was wondering how the clients who pay with it are in terms of their quality...

    Q4 2013 Lowendtalk Top Provider Poll Results

    Oh well, I think they'll have their results posted soon. I don't think the top 3 will be different and I believe Martten said they'll use a more logical counting method in the future that doesn't favor multi-brand companies. Realistically would be nice if people listed the reason they're voting...

    GreenValueHost outsources customer support to India.

    It's also amazing how much a company can slow to a crawl in a month's time, too. If you had one 'good month' and you're basing large financial decisions off that and expecting it each month after to reflect that, then you're naive.

    git

    Woops, my bad :P The git stuff I never use... I probably blindly changed the port when rotating all of them last week. I'll put it back. I'm not sure what's going on with the actual projects. I see 2 are missing currently. I know the GitLabs script was updated which seemed to have brought some...
