    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    I'll file that in my list for the next update. I think I'm adding bittorrent soon (will be dated, excluding signups before that date) so that'll be a good time. As for how it would be considered abuse, I think intent is the focus here. I can't prove intent, so I'm not seeking people out and...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    It is though. It is a very bad idea to have policies that are so direct and targeted that they have to be adjusted every time someone finds a new way to abuse something. A good policy outlines an idea or concept and tries to confine it with limitations as best as possible while leaving room for...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Nothing until you tell me you did. If you tell me that you have reserved 100% of your resources with zero intent to use them I would stand by this policy: "Server Abuse Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server or customer of Catalyst Host is strictly prohibited. As our customer you...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    See the key there is the word "use." To me, artificially ramping up to 100% of your allotment with intent to remain there purely to impact my system administration is not actual use.

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    It's not, but consider this. 1. People want low prices. 2. People don't use what they buy. This enables an option in which a host can do three things: 1. Cause less unnecessary usage of real resources like power. 2. Provide low prices. 3. Get better use out of existing equipment. This has...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    I can honestly say it'd cut down on promos that we would do if people used what they're allotted. Which is totally fine. I'd just much prefer them to benefit from the resources rather than just trying to cause problems.

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    I oversell disk space on OpenVZ. Sorry but 30% average usage is a waste. Prices are brought down by this and everyone wins. I don't have a problem with people using what they buy and I'm happy to roll out the red carpet for anyone who finds a way to legitimately hit a wall prior to capping the...

    Need SSD Dedi

    I think the single core 3Ghz is the deal breaker but hope someone proves me wrong. Otherwise, hit up quickpacket and see what they've got in stock.

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

    Good info. I won't pretend much knowledge of Xen operations. Truth be told I think this might be my first Xen VPS...

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

    Impressed so far. A note about the bench.sh run below, disk IO is less than the LEB/LET crowd prefers to see on OpenVZ but this is Xen and they claim a far lower capacity than a lot of the people here might be used to seeing. I'm a fan. Network is very nice. CPU model : Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1270...

    Google's New Malware Dashboard: Incero's on the Top 10

    That's terrible. I second that these organizations need to be given less power or they need to be more transparent in providing details for their actions. It's them who decided this was the service they want to provide, and it's the ISPs who decide if they're worth giving power to. Perhaps it's...

    Google's New Malware Dashboard: Incero's on the Top 10

    I mean, if I had 2 IPs and 1 had malware I'd be #1 on that list ;) Still a lot though you're right. I wish it gave more detail.

    Google's New Malware Dashboard: Incero's on the Top 10

    Looks like a lot of people have cleaning to do. I wouldn't say Incero is worth highlighting though. High on the list because it's sorted by percentage but the number of scanned sites is fairly low. Although I'm certain Gordon won't be terribly pleased by the result regardless ;)

    Wholesaleinternet $19 per Month - Server Grab Bags.. more stock!

    Last server I had with them was "100mbit unmetered" aka 1Gbps unmetered so long as usage wasn't deal breaking. An unspoken arrangement I gathered.

    Wholesaleinternet $19 per Month - Server Grab Bags.. more stock!

    So tempting. Could pull off what I'm doing in Atlanta and save $20/m.... But I must resist.

    "Right" to Remain Silent

    Thanks for sharing. Been a bit too busy lately to catch news that doesn't present itself to me as I'm going about other business. This certainly is an interesting scenario.
