    WHT Down

    But Google alerts don't work in the Premium forums! I hear if you say Martin's name 3X in the Premium Forums that an angry ol' Scot will appear beside you to murder you.

    vpsBoard advertisements.

    Well, BuySell Ads has already denied vpsboard for some reason. I submitted the property and never heard anything, so re-submitted it the following day and was told in an error message I'd have to wait another 30 days. I submitted a ticket to ask for a reason as to why, and never heard back. I...

    vpsBoard advertisements.

    What do you guys think about the ad-placement? I'm not sold on the top one yet but have had interest from providers in it so I will consider it. 1 header ad spot and 4 sidebar ad spots. Using an ad pulled from WHT for the banner and obviously LET ones for the example in the sidebar. There will...

    Stallion 2 - pictures and daily updates :)

    I mentioned this to Fran elsewhere, but it'd be nice to see a password blacklist that would not allow clients to utilize easy passwords to bruteforce. Things like: root, password, passw0rd, password123, server, etc should not be allowed. You could even go a bit further to ensure clients use...

    Training to become a more valuable asset for hosting related jobs?

    I generally try to undersell myself anyhow. I do L1 stuff mainly, and some (but not much) L2 stuff. My skills are mainly due to me managing my own personal servers. Previous jobs, even with URPad, access was limited and I mostly dealt with billing/sales/L1 support there. I want to learn more so...

    Do you think it is fair that cpanel & whmcs should cost more than the server

    You Thai? Sawatekah! I was learning Thai for like, a short moment...

    Training to become a more valuable asset for hosting related jobs?

    Curious what some of you here have done in terms of 'formal training' to become more valuable as an employee of companies. We've got many business owners here, though I suppose this thread would apply to a lot of them as well as I see big differences in skillsets from one person to the other...

    vpsBoard advertisements.

    I believe this is a more accurate depiction of traffic during that fake traffic spike at the end of May:

    vpsBoard advertisements.

    No idea what would be likely conversions or click through, but here are some stats: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/vpsboard.com About the spike in traffic between May 30th and June 7th: A member here decided to purchase 'traffic' from Fiverr to 'increase the SEO' or something. I found this...

    vpsBoard advertisements.

    Also, who would seriously be interested in ad-space? I'm not going to reserve spots and this isn't you 'signing up', just trying to get a rough idea of who is interested so I can plan accordingly. Pricing not yet decided nor have restrictions (may limit ad spots to 2 spots per advertiser to...

    vpsBoard advertisements.

    That's not a bad idea but trying to scout a free platform that'd also allow those purchasing ad spots can have some control over their account (see stats and do things themselves like uploading banners, etc) I've got a couple things to try out later on including http://orbitopenadserver.com/...

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    It's the weirdest thing. There is a setting to override that, which I did a long time ago as I quickly hit 50 PMs. Are you actually getting an error? I thought it was overridden for everyone after I adjusted that, but there is/was no setting that I could find to 'increase' the limit. Just an...

    vpsBoard advertisements.

    Sorry for the delay. Been testing out a couple solutions with no great luck in finding one I like yet. Anyone care to suggest a self-hosted ad publishing script that will allow me to do this with relative ease?

    Do you think it is fair that cpanel & whmcs should cost more than the server

    Absolutely fair. If you don't like it you can use Kloxo (free) or DirectAdmin (cheap) and some free or cheap billing/support software. Only a small percentage of people with Virtual Servers use low-end 'cheap' servers, so I doubt they're going to change their pricing scheme to cater to the...

    ChicagoVPS / CVPS Hacked. New SolusVM exploit? (Content Restored) [PT. 1/2]

    Ok, so this is the original thread and IPB staff has restored it. Due to some errors going to have to split the threads up I think. There may be duplicate content in this thread that also exists in this thread here: http://vpsboard.com/topic/758-chicagovps-cvps-hacked-new-solusvm-exploit/ That...

    Why are so many tutorials archived?

    Something like that. I had enabled an 'archiving' feature, however did so with non-optimal settings/rules in place for it. This resulted in many topics being archived in the background for hours before I noticed. I set the rules differently and tried to UNarchive any post that has seen activity...

    Why are so many tutorials archived?

    It's an issue with the board. IPB staff is working on it. I'll try to manually unarchive them now, but in the past it has destroyed some active threads so have been hesitant to do this manually until a fix has been tested. That's what happened to the CVPS / SolusVM exploit thread though I think...

    WHT Down

    I see they've gotten some new ad spots on the sidebar. Always been there or new? Maybe took it down for maintenance?
