    Am I asking for trouble using consumer SSDs in a server?

    Enterprise is what you buy when it someone else (i.e. customer using such).  Cost justification. There are features and durability claims that are loftier in most enterprise gear.  When it comes to SSDs, I buy what is well reviewed and solid.   I don't use any enterprise models, since they...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Seagate has shipped garbage a good 5 years now.   I have some other brand drives that have failed, but most are Seagate and sadly most had no real hours and use on them. I bought Seagate since big box retailers regionally carry them. Now I just mail order drives instead.  Screw it.  Not like...

    I like Duke, had high hopes for him.  GVH stuff, customers, debt load, plus the continuous dramas Jonny lights up waste TONS of cycles.   Stress is enough to make anyone buckle and wonder what he got himself into. If I were in Duke's boots I'd be vicious and probably threatening to legally weld...

    Hey, here's how screwed up it is: I AM ROOTING FOR COLOCROSSING TO DO THE NECESSARY AND TAKE THE SITUATION AND CALL IN THE DEBT.   People can't pay, well Colocrossing isn't your risk / venture funding.

    1. CC should do what businesses do and drop the hammer where it needs to be dropped.  IOUs aren't months on end and bad debt has limits. 2. CC doesn't want dramas- not even on LET.  These issues drive customers away from them and make it look more like a dysfunctional daycare. 3. Duke's...

    That's already happened... probably multiple pasted examples of his minor age substance abuse out there. Lance-r the Friendly Ghost, that dick won't have anyone feeling a thing.  While a real guy, he isn't involved and hasn't been.  He is Jonny's beard.  Older kid filling out paperwork blindly...

    ... and I realize I used or probably misused the word intimidate.  It's applicable in situation in so far as if you owe a provider money they can rightly go threatening to offline your services/servers/etc.  Don't want that to be read that CC/related are rough housing those involved in this...

    VirtKick, the Open Source Panel goes Commercial!

    5-15% is their range surely to be viable as a business and versus the market.  They'd be best to butt park a number - flat fee perhaps with upticks for addons. Resistance in this model is the 'unfair' pay model.   I run $1250 a month through a server vs. a lowend company that runs $250 through...

    Me earning more public lashings.... 1. I think everyone in CC land is confused about who owes what.  CC as the end provider just wants paid.  They don't care who they have to intimidate to get their money.  Odds are debts to them are being gone after both parties as where before they were...

    Cross posted from LET, Duke posted just a few minutes ago: http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/50169/gvh-relaunching-again/p2   I'll bet $50 $100 that Duke boots Jonny and axes the whole arrangement - if there is one - be it re-selling a dedi server [to Jonny].

    Not 'cloud'.....  Hype hype in my pipe, smoking, dope... clouds.  For that, yes, need something for software. Dedicated side there is a decent panel / provisioning software .... https://www.noc-ps.com/

    Thank you, been waiting for someone to step up and go there :) This nonsense of GVH offering VPS, no I don't endorse that --- rather - GVH being out of VPS was the general idea.  This is recent whatever and not supposed to be.  Inconsistent with prior talks and all of what people were agreeable...

    VirtKick, the Open Source Panel goes Commercial!

    15% of a server income.   Wheeeeeeeeeeee! But since it is hosted and they appear to be handling the billing and payment gateway, well, perhaps alright. Lots of small summerhosts, former fails, those without original thoughts in business should be attracted to it.  All of which are crap...

    I'll bet $50 that Duke boots Jonny and axes the whole arrangement - if there is one - be it re-selling a dedi server.  I cannot for the life of me see Duke giving that quote in the "Press Release".  That's not Duke.  That is Jonny's writing and him boosting his chicken feathers.  As-if the...

    I hate Solus at this point. It's barebones, functional, yes.  But it's dated, missing features.  Biggest annoyance would be the console portion when something does break and the whole Java dependency.  So it's just broken for me who refuses to load said malware vectors. Important to have...

    New WebHostingTalk Site!

    Penton is a gigantic brand - BILLIONS income.  They have quite a big staff across companies.  Surely they have capabilities in-house. The WHT upgrade to me feels like Penton pushed it out.

    Plenty of miles left on this beat down teenage hooptie.  and @Hxxx his list of legendary fubars is even longer.  Almost suicided twice.  Probably in Fraudrecord for stunts.  Offered 100TB plans for crazy no money. Migrated locations like 15x.  Had IPs revoked, probably multiple times.  ...

    Jonny has never gone away.   He did stop offering VPS, but just went taco loco on offering unsustainable shared hosting probably nested inside rented VPS instances.   He has gone away from vpsBoard (banned) and LET (banned until a week or two ago).  Unsure why LET would let the littler pecker...

    Hostigation offering 10% account credit for Bitcoin payments!

    Because it eliminates clearing fees one pays to PayPal, Stripe, or whoever the company may use. Bitcoin fees can be and typically are much lower.  Eliminate those fees each payment cycle and it adds up.
