The words "uphill battle" come to mind but I do believe it absolutely vital that misused IPs be reported. I'll report US residential/datacenter IPs. I'll just block anything malicious from China Telecom (because their abuse email rejects anything I send) and I black hole ecatel. Picking your...

Hosting a lot of clients in cPanel will easily make you keep a lot of memory in your back pocket for a rainy day.

Go hit up their TinyVZ brand now. It's worth it.

Oh dear. The thought of letting a node get that low makes me cringe.

You're not going to find four dedicated CPU cores for an affordable price on a VPS. You need a dedicated server or you need to change your criteria.

It's freaking beautiful!

Going to relax and completely ignore anyone who wants to have a philosophical discussion about it.

I'd like to invite any of our clients or anyone else to join us in a Minecraft server that we set up for ourselves and for friends/clients. Address in my signature. Every now and then someone asks if we have an IRC channel that we use. Nope, we have this :) This also celebrates our new stance...

Power has been pretty stable now too. Network great, even from East Texas.

I think some people might have been waiting for LV move to level out too, but that's just an external observation and you know how those go...perception doesn't account for much of reality.

Alone on websites that a consumer might tend to look, the memory alone (ECC) could be up to $2,000. Seems a lot of server specific shops get better deals. Bunch of them here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/wiki/Server_Builders

ECC memory is crazy expensive. A lot of server vendors seem to get better deals on them and pass it along if you build a full system with them. I may not be looking at the best places since we don't colo anything at the moment though, but everything I see is pretty outrageous if you were to...

Nice offers! This guy knows his stuff too.

E3 only holds 32GB. This is the one reason I won't put out less than an E5.

You're putting cpanel on a $25/m dedi? Why? Do you hate your clients or just only put 5 on a node and backup the single drive hourly? Btw just virtualize the whole node and save $10...

The fun thing about theory and practice is... I know you. If you choose to use Catalyst for something big, feel free and watch it fly. If you're using it, I know you need it. I try to be that way with as many clients as will let me. Our prices have gone up in hopes of sustaining that forever.

Count us in on that and proud of it. I've got two OpenVZ nodes that are darn near oversold capacity right now and here's what it looks like: DallasOne: 15GB Used / 64GB Total, 3.7 Load Average, 0% iowait, 1029pps udp/tcp combined, 665GB of 1.8TB used (probably about 200GB of it my own waste)...

@buffalood Unless someone is starting a campaign to do it on a forum and the provider happens to know from previous exchanges who it is that is doing this. It is by no means impossible. If every one of my users up and scales to 100% usage tomorrow, this isn't the result of a dice roll, this...

Exactly. But why would you need to artificially inflate your usage to reserve the resources if you don't know that I'm overselling? If you do know that I'm overselling, why would you need to artificially inflate your usage to reserve the resources if you think I'm actually worth hosting your...

Just like reserving disk space specifically to punish a provider for overselling is intentionally hurting someone. This thread assumes that you believe overselling is taking place and that you believe you have the right to force the provider to deal with an extremely improbable reality by...
