    Finding a reasonably priced European dedi or large VPS with DDOS protection

    I've recommended others with 'offensive' social and political content and freedom of speech 'issues' towards BuyVM.  They have yet to let me down with such. They have Luxembourg location that is very good for Europe (peered to bunch of exchanges and LUX government is owner / investor of the...

    What are you listening to right now?

    In response to some life changes: I love Tom Waits.   Often overlooked artist in larger society. I found him via public radio decades ago and enjoyed shopping in a southern US town when vinyl was still pretty popular (at least the vintage and collectible type).

    What's for Lunch?

    Pretty much what Spanish rice is here in the States.  Folks put egg yoke in it as well.  Maybe some fresh green spice too... Maybe cilantro. It's more of a Mexican inspired dish than Spanish I'd guess.

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Was nice to leak like that... self leak. Who do we see in there...   I see Aaron Clint (Aim2Game),  Tony Pollard (Cheapwindowsvps)... I see CVPS Reseller... which strikes me as damn strange, since the other house reseller HVH is clearly listed under Ernie's name... The other screens leaked...

    Google Adword - Visitor stay on website for 1 second? (visitor tracking?)

    Any time I have ads enabled, I click on them for random hosting brands...   I am always curious about what folks are promoing.   Takes about 10 seconds before I depart.

    Is it okay to ask customers to review your services on forums or social media?

    Reviews are good to have. Big warning here:  Reviews are kind of hazardous on hosting forums.  Bound to put your customers through hell and get a lot more scrutiny.  Happens because so many folks shill and fake reviews. You should never directly ask your customers to review you on third party...

    Your predictions for the future of the VPS hosting industry?

    Power costs are rather moot.  We aren't talking about running big iron or needing such beef.  Sure if you want to share huge files / video / high resolution photos, the bandwidth out to the net is going to matter. Much of what the net is, and content many produce is rather tiny, especially when...

    Your predictions for the future of the VPS hosting industry?

    The industry is overdue for a mass LEGAL crackdown.   There is way too much advertising fraud, way too many companies that fail to deliver what they advertise. Legal implications could rapidly change how folks operate as well as how many people want to be in this industry as a provider. Cloud...

    True he had his share.  Then again, who that is a long timer hasn't had a drama phase? Drama matters. If drama doesn't matter you either have lost your passion in general and are screwing off / coasting or your own drama got smacked by an often well deserved punting. Drama matters why...

    RaidLogic.NET - (OpenVZ/XEN - Linux/Windows - VPS 50% off use promocode

    I'll second the part about the cart.    Unlike most here, I am not a provider.   I am a buyer / customer.  When I got to your site, it's a brochure basically, over to the cart and then the cart has WALL-OF-TEXT... No proper products yet.  Once finally get to a screen to order it's more...

    Long live the censorship.... and the ban evasions :)  Oh wait, just my own observations from over there. I'd like to know who decided to go with Shared/Reseller offers then did a hot 180 degree turn?  Yeah I saw the screwballs at the gate.... Didn't like the quality of the offers :) ?  Funny...

    What happens when there are no more ipv4 addresses left?

    Problem is stuff like Ford I'll bet is legacy.  ARIN has no lordship over. ARIN was offering some reduced rates for your annual fee for givebacks... But such doesn't apply to legacy space. No one with any sanity is handing ARIN anything back.

    @mpkossen Bummer, what is the new community you have?  I like to be early to the grand openings.

    There has been a recent issue with moderators over at LET and some guys disappearing or stepping down.  Namely was Spirit who was a long time LET member and moderator. I heard some rumblings prior about this and that.   But I like the real story and encouraging people to come forward.  Come...

    RaidLogic.net out of business?

    Let's take this a bit further for clarity sake: RaidLogic = Syntrel = TheServerExperts?  Do I have that right? I know RaidLogic = TheServerExperts from the accounts and like former website design that was suspect. CONFIRMED ADDRESS MATCHES. People are looking in Netherlands or were, probably...

    RaidLogic.net out of business?

    ItsChrisG was refunded by PayPal.  Unclear if the Syntrel / former owner of RaidLogic made good with everyone or if this was case of payment companies making the customers good. This is VERY DISTURBING to me as someone who routinely chases bad actors in this industry.  RaidLogic was a stable...

    N+1 = 3.  Write it down.  Backup should have at least one backup. Live data + backup (which is sanity checked routinely) + another remote backup.

    Linking together multiple VPNs and with randomness?

    Indeed!   Problem remains with net being what is (massive spy campaign) that it's just prudent to isolate and eliminate as much of your data as possible. It isn't about the end human using this tech to behave or to be bad.  It's about the same layer in the middle with known bad behavior and...
