There is a thread for this prior:

Rackspace's approach I understand.  Build small to grow big to need more.  Hiked up paid services that rapidly eat that free credit issued pool. Mirantis, yikes, shit name.  Upsell is what?  Just a market grab. Providers - legit business ones - need to take note at this stuff because selling...

I ate a megaton of purple grapes.

Planning on releasing Kate as opensource shareware? Are sales numbers that bad all over the world to drop VPS to 1 euro a month?   Guess it is or just more marketing funded market grab.   Better than free and get to name/address check the account holders for a 1 euro.  That's what it is...

Deviating from the topic of the thread, but the FraudRecord false reports and VAT Tax stuff I'd like more info on. I have no current love for Clarke like the next sensible person who lived through his dramas. As far as what Clarke did, I think that involved a known exploit involving one big...

The work some people do on [their house] [their diet] [their teeth] etc. is really quite scary. Oh wait, people are just scary :) If this was about GovernmentMotors and Juan Deere doing right big picture I would be alright with that.  Seems heavy and overbearing though the whole intention at...

A year ago I would have screamed about this.   But today, I think it's alright so long as customers are told this early on - like in their post order account pack.

Nope, but there are WHMCS bugs that are similar also. This Solus one, multiple providers have mentioned in private.

Seems like SolusVM has a multiple year bug involving cancelled accounts and containers that are still online. Customer has VPS service, but cancels.  Yet the container is still online eons after termination should have happened. Folks seeing this and zombie containers?   Someone pegged this...

Word is Feathur has a bunch of provisioning problems.  Auto terminations don't work and require manual termination... With lazy admin that means containers online for eons that shouldn't be. Also a bug in Feathur where canceled or terminated VPS instances would become active again due to bugs...

Panels aren't kids play.  That said Feathur derived itself from other prior work Johnston had done.  Other folks contributed to the code also. I'd hate to see them go hard drop customers due to Feathur and say new VPS needs to be created and all that fun.  Customers will lose it over that sort...

Oh believe me, Jake was always an alias over there.  Jake is the typical suspects in this instance. Problem is over there, you have small providers doing tickets at the bigger shops.  Young folks with small hosting companies that can't pay their own bills busting out support and such at CVPS...

Well this day, I've long waited for.  It wasn't supposed to be until like June of 2016 though with NDAs and other claims I can't prove / don't have paper to support it.   Johnston must have ran like the wind.   Not the first time his work ethic and focus on the brand petered out. I find it...

Breaking news on the wires is that Comcast won't be pursuing Time Warner in their buy/merger idea. The merger met scrutiny from every direction and regulators weren't seeing any benefit to consumers. So up next, which cable company is buying which? Comcast has the money and is going to buy...

These GSM and related cell modules are neat, but their prices are high and well, technical as all get out to string a solution together. Most efficient thing would be a USB cellular modem.  They also make portable units that spit out wifi and connect to cell network.  Nice thing about the...

Good read over here: http://www.autoblog.com/2015/04/20/automakers-gearheads-car-repairs/ TL;DR - General Motors and John Deere are out seeking to protect gearheads and mechanics from working on their vehicles.  Deeming them dangerous and all that sort of nonsense. This is where we are headed...

I get the GVH URLs confused.  I was likely wrongly assuming that URL was Jonny's new venture and his likelihood to solely use cPanel is pretty high.  No harm or foul.

Someone must be selling host-in-a-box legitimately.

Told you I recognized GVH from the hoods and baggies of their green.

.. the internet spoke...  so I posted
