    Limestone Networks now offering Enterprise DDoS Protection $25/mo

    Dallas to LA is 1,436 miles. Vegas to Seattle is 1,129 miles. So comparatively speaking, not a ton of difference between the distance between Limestone and BlackLotus and BuyVM and CNServers.

    Limestone Networks now offering Enterprise DDoS Protection $25/mo

    BuyVM pricing is already cheap. I don't consider them in the same class as the general LE* provider, so I don't mind paying 'more' for 'less'. The service works, and when Vegas doesn't lose power it's stable. :P Those who complain only do so because they're used to paying around $3.50/mo per GB...

    Where do you think the best possible location for a VPS to be?

    Not to mention there is a slew of saturated locations too. Do we really need a new host offering locations from LA? Buffalo? Nah. Still some wiggle room in Chicago and Dallas, I think. I'd like to see some hosts offering services from Singlehop in Chicago, really. But other than that, I'd like...

    Woodworking

    Well, keep in mind I'm about 200 or so yards from a river that washes up driftwood, after I get used to working with 'store bought' wood I can start having some fun and get creative with what washes up out back. Also, I want to use screws instead of wood glue, only reason being that I have...

    Woodworking

    I've looked into building small 'DIY' sawmills. Read "The $50 up and underground house book" years ago and my mind ran wild. Seems simple enough, really. Honestly I wouldn't even mind using more handtools and less electric ones, may be harder but I feel like I'd be less likely to mess up. Don't...

    Woodworking

    What are the wood working essentials? I feel like I should own more power tools! I've got some projects in mind that I want to build myself, starting with a small and basic coffee table, then an inside workbench and finally a new computer desk. Any recommendations of what to get / what to...

    Man beats bank on their own game

    I was declined by Chase / Amazon, I wanted the Amazon card as I need to build my credit as I have zero credit. Boo. Maybe I'll make my own terms too.

    ChicagoVPS / CVPS Hacked. New SolusVM exploit? [PT 2/2]

    True, but I have no idea if they are actually doing that or even have a panel in place right now. I figured if they had a 'in-house' or 'custom made' panel there would have been a press release or some buzz about it by now.

    Goodbye Lavabit

    Lavabit founder has stopped using email: "If you knew what I know, you might not use it either" Earlier this week, Xeni reported on the shutdown of Lavabit, the email provider used by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. Ladar Levison, Lavabit's founder, has given an interview to Forbes about his...

    Man beats bank on their own game

    Well, I've heard of people doing this. If you search the web you'll find blog posts and whatnot of people sending old broken blenders to these snail-mail spammers with their 'postage paid' envelopes. They just take the envelope to the box. I mean, you can mail a potato like shown in the photo...

    ChicagoVPS / CVPS Hacked. New SolusVM exploit? [PT 2/2]

    Ticket to who, CVPS or SolusVM? I thought CVPS was getting their own in-house panel made?

    Where do you think the best possible location for a VPS to be?

    Depends on what the VPS will be used for and who the target audience for accessing the VPS is. Got a website that will mostly be visited by Americans? Somewhere in the middle of the US, Chicago or Dallas is a pretty good choice. Visitors mostly in the US, and UK? USA east coast, preferably...

    Alternatively, you can just use the postage paid envelope, and tape it to a box that has a cinderblock in it. They'll mail it at no cost to you back to the credit card company, where someone will physically have to open the box, and figure out what to do with the brick.

    [Industry Question] How Do You Pay Support Staff?

    Contract pay, per week. Thought your workers can only be 'contract workers' for so long before they need to be employees, as I understand.

    Do you think vBoards have become too restrictive

    The rule for Sole Proprietorships / Unregistered businesses / DBAs / Etc is one year or more of being in business for them to be a 'Verified Provider'. This isn't so much due to us not liking anyone, but more or less to prevent summer hosts and what-not from being featured. The idea being that a...

    Countries with Data Privacy Protection Laws

    Or in the case of this actually happening, it'd be served with waking up to a pillowcase over your head, hands tied behind your back while your pelted in the face by the boots of men you will never see as you get shipped off to float around at sea on a prison ship. :P Well, that is if you get...

    Apache 2.4 Mess

    Nginx and Lighttpd (which is powering vpsBoard) are great alternatives. Apache generally speaking though is pretty stable, and the documentation for it is so vast. What are the error messages you're getting? Plugged those into Google yet to see if anyone else is suffering the same fate?
