    HOW-TO: Protect from recent SolusVM exploits.

    It looks like a lot of the recent exploits require access to your SolusVM Master either as a client or as a guest. So here's a quick and easy way to prevent access: iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s <WHMCS_IP> --destination-port 5353 -i venet0 iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s...

    Pros/cons of owning own IPs

    It works exactly the same. You setup a BGP session with your data center (or even static routes will work for data center peering) and you're done.

    Pros/cons of owning own IPs

    Sorry, I was on my phone so I tried to keep it brief. We don't buy our own bandwidth.

    [REQUEST] How to set up a very small VPS

    In reality the provider should have a minimal template for you to use. I think most have a Debian template that uses less than 8MB of RAM.

    Pros/cons of owning own IPs

    Richer and cheaper. That's why we don't buy our own.

    Pros/cons of owning own IPs

    I'm sure ARIN will implement similar policies when they reach that level. As it stands IPv4 is getting cheaper so more people can eat up the remaining space faster. As much as ARIN pushes it on their Twitter, the demand still isn't there for IPv6. When the IPv4 pool dries up it might give IPv6...

    Pros/cons of owning own IPs

    We don't have our own IPv6 addresses yet. When the price drops in July we'll get our own but for now we're saving $1k and getting them for free from our data centers.

    Do you support bitcoins for payments?

    I think we've had less than 10 successful orders with bitcoins. We find that the vast majority of orders that select bitcoin as the payment method get marked as fraud by Maxmind. Then again, just because they select a payment method on order doesn't mean much since we have a lot of people select...

    Pros/cons of owning own IPs

    $1250 is still cheaper than $12288 so that's not a con at all (assuming you're paying $1/month per IP, if you're paying $2/month then you're looking at $24576 just for 2048 IPs when you can get 4096 IPs for just $1250). With ARIN, you pay for whichever is more expensive so if you have a Large...

    Do you support bitcoins for payments?

    Then why did you ask if you already know that? :P

    Providers who own their IP addresses

    When I was going to apply for a job there I spoke with a few of the techs hoping to get an idea of the company and get somebody who could vouch for me, luckily I spoke with them before I put my application in though. The biggest issue they had working there was the constant complaints from...

    Do you support bitcoins for payments?

    Clients can pay with bitcoins, but all bitcoins are converted to USD and then given to us. We only accept USD.

    VPS or dedi where I own the hard drives

    I ship my drives to WANSecurity and they manage them for free under the condition that they keep them when I'm done with them. It's cheaper for me and the drives were all on sale at Newegg so I'm not out any money if I keep the server with them for 6 months. BUT... Here's one of the key things...

    WHMCS - Extended Login Tracking

    I think the timestamps have their own benefit.

    Pros/cons of owning own IPs

    Pros - Everything. Cons - None. Absolutely none. Expense - Dirt cheap, the only thing cheaper is free and we all know free doesn't last forever (right Mr. OVH?). Peering - You can have your data center handle this for you. Filling out an LOA is extremely simple. Peering confusion - You break...

    Providers who own their IP addresses

    Oh the HiVelocity stories I've heard from Hivelocity techs, not as bad as the SagoNet stories though but I would be very afraid to use any IPs from them. ;)

    Dual Quad L5420, 16GB RAM, 2x 1TB ESATA HW RAID 1, 10TB Bandwidth!

    What benefits do you offer over Dacentec's $50/month rent-to-own servers? I've been looking at getting a server or 2 in their data center to play with.

    WHMCS - Extended Login Tracking

    Just an FYI, in the Pastebin code it says "ipaddr" instead of "ip" on line 4 which throws an error if anybody tries to login. I've also changed this addon to work with this update. Just copy the code from the pastebin below and paste it into a PHP file and add it to a folder in your...

    VPS offers - quarterly and semi annual

    Annual clients are more likely to renew than monthly clients and the profit is so much larger than monthly payments over 12 months.

    Providers who own their IP addresses

    A lot of us have our own IPs. ;)
