    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Not at all. You purchased it to use for your needs, not specifically to attempt to cause harm (or I think you'd agree that you would be a candidate for termination upon admitting this). I think you may have gotten off track from the intention behind this thread in the beginning. The intention...

    heads up: kernel regression in CentOS 2.6.32 and OpenVZ 2.6.18/2.6.32 kernels creates local DoS (reb

    Invoice me for every time I've asked Fran for advice and I'll pay that with a smile :) People should be paid for what they do, Fran just does so much awesomeness that the list would probably crash WHMCS :P

    What would you recommend?

    New kloxo fork, I run it on a 128mb VPS for a friend to control their own small hosting environment. https://github.com/mustafaramadhan/kloxo For VPS, go RamNode and you won't ever turn back.

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Your argument could be applied to a DDOS, so long as no other client notices that you're using me in your cluster. You paid to burst a gigabit line, you should be able to do it right? For that matter, you paid for access to my client area so you should be able to Robert Clarke it, it's not your...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    For us at least, I would say... 1. Not abuse at all, fairly common use. 2. Perhaps with some hosts that value low price over quality (rather than a balance as is, I hope, more common). I welcome anyone using 100% of their resources so long as they're actually using them and following the...

    Stallion 2 - pictures and daily updates :)

    Did I read that right? Fireworks all over the US for the release party?

    [EXCLUSIVE] TortoiseLabs - 512MB RAM / 30GB DISK / 1000M UNMETERED - $6.75/month

    Went ahead and grabbed one in Dallas. Looks like Abovenet, HE, and Cogent. Excellent US connections. Could probably use a hand going across the water. I assume there's still some tweaking to be done given that it's a newly offered location. Download speed from CacheFly: 54.1MB/s  Download...

    Valuable topic and conversation for sure.

    Vote for your favorite graphics chip manufacturer

    Guess I have to go with ATI purely on the reasoning that I bought this iMac in 2009 for my Final Cut/After Effects machine and I'm still playing brand new games at perfectly reasonable settings. It's a Radeon HD 4850 in it. Nothing fancy, still kicking though.

    Why do hackers think all LEB hosts are ran by 13 year olds?

    Well, to start with the "hackers" in question are 13 years old (or equivalent).

    QuickPacket - Dual Xeon L5420 - 16 GB RAM - 1 TB HD - KVM over IP / IPMI - $49.99 per month

    At the risk of sounding like I'm upsetting you away from Catalyst :P ... The L5420 caves faster than the E5-2620 as a VPS node. As a single purpose node, it's a beastly CPU and it'll put out some serious performance.

    Could not stress enough how much I recommend this.

    Neither do I, but "uses" is the key word there.

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Pretty much this. If everyone legitimately used 100% of their resources tomorrow, we'd be forced to migrate some users to a new node at our expense and compensate for any inconvenience. Every business has a risk factor. We, as hosts, know our job and we know what we've sold. It's economical and...

    [Catalyst Host] 35% off all plans. KVM starting at $6.50/m, OpenVZ @ $5.19/m.

    Hi everyone! It’s time to do what we love: make an offer. Let me just be real with you here for a second. I’m really proud of our KVM line. I love the raw power of our first KVM node. I’ve said it many times before, that I demand each step we take be better than the one before it. We had talked...

    What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

    Ran out of everclear. Vodka is like water. Been a rough week. Let's do this!

    Dual 6 core with HT. I love that CPU.

    I mean as long as it didn't hammer I/O and CPU all the time for no reason I'd say sounds fun!

    How do you take your coffee?

    Lots of cream and lots of sugar. See I've always been told you're not a man unless you drink it black, because you're just diluting the coffee. I disagree though. I think the more junk you fit in that mug the better!
