tl;dr - we had 2gbit with EGI, and learned (the hard way) that they were quietly limiting us to less than half of that.  My suspicion is that they SEVERELY oversell to CN VPNs, mailers, etc; and the rest of the clients have to suffer for it.  For over a year, it simply wasn't worth building any...

This, a thousand times this.  Now that we're out from under EGI's shady limiting, we can actually grow our network (and our deployments).  Now granted, NY stock still remains scarce, primarily because we're not all that willing to put any more hardware with CC.  Thankfully, sales still do fairly...

We drink. A _LOT_ :P Two of us actually.. Anthony (bzImage) and I handle tickets/support/orders. Fran does some support in IRC, and the vast majority of the coding/development/PR. Anthony and I work opposite shifts (I cover from ~6am till 10 or 11pm, he covers from ~noon till 4 or 5am), and...

I've got a timed queue going - almost 13000 active accounts, still have about 4 hours remaining before all the emails are sent >_>

Aaaaand, mass email is currently underway. We'll kick things off at 1800h PST, bring both WHMCS and Stallion1 down into maintenance mode while the deployment is underway.

That was related to his admins taking down WHMCS though, not CPanel, and was just explaining the lack of announcement. Surely the techs could still answer tickets about the CPanel downtime?

FTFY.

And that's the point that too many people missed. Consider the providers that have weighed in on this issue - pretty much the upstanders with few complaints that don't have to worry about people making legitimate claims about oversell. Conversely, it makes me wonder about the folks that...

  Counter-productive.  One of the first things I did when we used Solus was make a filter to delete those annoying login notifications.. your users will do the same.  And then completely in the dark if there is an unauthorized login.  A better idea is having it notify the user when a login is...

Doesn't mean we work for free.. and no amount of caffeine or liquor is going to make me start believing that we should function as a free, public helpdesk <_<

We're in the business of selling VPSes - why does everyone keep assuming we exist to do their coding work for them?

On reflection, Rus and Chris would be a great partnership.  Rus creates overnight companies, rents hardware, builds up clients.  Dumps the whole thing to Chris, who absorbs into CVPS/CC.  Rinse, repeat.

Nope.  You're paying for the resources, use them.  (But if you have 95% random data, don't ask for a migration :P)   tl;dr - it irks me when a host sells a specific amount of resources, then gets annoyed when someone actually wants to use them.  Yes, I realize most folks oversell their OpenVZ...

Because they paid for the resources.  If you're not prepared for a client to use what you advertised and they paid for, then be less shady with your setup. I'm seeing a whole lot of "it's 'understood' that OVZ is oversold to X extent"... and yet NONE of you actually mention that to clients on...

You are aware that these kids in IRC are either 1) fed plants/informants (1 confirmed), 2) scriptware kiddies, or 3) trolls; with 2 and 3 simply taking advantage of the situation to claim credit for someone else's work?   Even on the REMOTE chance that one of them did the actual damage, it was...

Hah ^_^ Well, it'd be 3 on 2 (just Anthony and I since Fran doesn't drink).. but it might still be a good matchup :P Would definitely be a blast to meet you gents and have a good time as well.

I love that this is a thing now XD Perhaps play Louie Louie by the Kingsmen.. you'll know folks are getting tipsy when they start singing along :P I do suddenly like the idea of a bunch of VPSB regulars settling in at the same pub for an evening, though.

Fixed that for ya. In fact, I think we're already lining up a drinking contest between BuyVM and Catalyst :3

That pretty much summed up the whole thing for me =\ Given my own experiences with BoA, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. And now with courts suppressing articles from the Bill of Rights? I don't see myself staying in the US much longer. You missed the point there. Those of us that...
