    Is it worth having multiple SSD?

    Depends on what this SSD is doing and workload - particularly writes.   A single drive of any type is bound to fail at random any time. So two in perhaps RAID-1 might make good sense in this instance. Software RAID should suffice and most decent boards support such on built in controller...

    WebHostingTalk Worst of the Hosting Industry

    Again, at last glance, I don't think he's even a paid member.  Guess I didn't realize that anyone can advertise and buy stickies without membership.  Quite a unique little mess in my mind. ROI could be there, but talking about tons o' sales a month.   Cheap sells and most of what I glanced was...

    Physical spam mail.

    Long ago I when I'd sign up for things bearing name I'd run with permutations and all sorts of titles.  Those I'd stash in a file / database. Was quite interesting for many years seeing the mass of bad data and where it all went. I don't mind general info zipcode mass spamming like store...

    Remote DDoS Mitigation Service / GRE Tunnels from Los Angeles and Dallas – 50% off!

    Nice to see a different sort of offering. So what happens with this service if you eat 50Gbps of malicious inbound?  Do clients get nulled or do you complimentary upgrade handle it for a bit or what?

    Hostress, LLC has acquired GreenValueHost v2 Clients and domain.

    Yeah I am right there with you.  Cause GVH as a company was never sold or inherited.  It was a piece of it at best (customers + debt + future payables and related). Trailing a debt around like has been done on this isn't legitimate.  Debt inheritance isn't legal either.  Folks like Duke and...

    Physical spam mail.

    I let them send it, then I either shred and turn it in fire logs for the heating season or I pile it up as kindling / fire starter for getting fires going through the winter. Now if I could only do the same with all the e-junk mail.  E-everything proving to be worthless in yet more ways.

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    Autocloses after set non activity time seem alright.  I necro'd a thread or three lately since continuation of the matter... but.... It needs special features for repeat presses.

    BlueVM sold / change of ownership? (UPDATE 5/14: Now owned by ChicagoVPS)

    Sadly I must confess.  I actually tried their services back then. Like most customers who buy hosting, I don't go to IRC for support.  I submit a ticket.  Not mean or nice about problems in such, just the facts and a plea for resolution.  Support certainly was better than appears under this...

    As far as OnraHost goes: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1405098 I am meh about their claims of profitability with WHT stickies. Owned hardware or not....  They are pushing small few dollar transactions.  Unsure what the sticky costs in Reseller category currently but talking...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    There is lowendtalk.me which someone made - appears to just be a front end proxy for LET. Probably could do a bit of interesting with parsing things since lots of the site are already parsed. Colocrossing content set to autosink would be an interesting view of the site.

    Hostress, LLC has acquired GreenValueHost v2 Clients and domain.

    I am hoping so... my goodness... Dragnet was a big WTF.  But nothing surprises me.  Lots of laughing cats on a lot of customer emails out there.  Even from rather large shops.

    If a client's VPS is suspended, do you still send them an invoice for next month?

    Also, KuJoe mentioned about car payments, mortgage, etc.  All of those transactions involve heaps of paperwork and regulatory oversight from every side.   You signed a legally binding contract, perhaps multiple to have that stuff.  Your payment terms are linear EVERY month until the debt is...

    If a client's VPS is suspended, do you still send them an invoice for next month?

    I feel this is as a customer how I'd hope things go.  I don't know if WHMCS supports such logic without more development / addon.   It's in essence a paused / on vacation account.  The VPS is still there using disk, but offline. Billing isn't really being incurred as offense happened in already...

    ICANN Proposes Changes to WHOIS Privacy

    It's stuff like this that speaks to need of independent domains free of silly mandates.  Everything about online has gone mega big biz, capture and control, government beat down.

    BlueVM sold / change of ownership? (UPDATE 5/14: Now owned by ChicagoVPS)

    Johnston was taking steps to loosely support customers.  Probably early 2013 and prior it was better when his long time guy was there (who I thought actually owned the place). But 2013 onward it has been very bad and support has been spotty at best.  Been really bad over the past year...

    Hostress, LLC has acquired GreenValueHost v2 Clients and domain.

    Don't let that number trick you or mispaint things.   LET is known to lose posts.  Been quite a bit of material lost over there over the years.  It's a cluster feature :)
