FedEx Office must have raised the hourly pay for part-timers like CEO Lance. I wasn't going to mention the drinking because GVH's "hiring" of yet another poorly vetted contractor ("Chad")  was the main event in both Chad's LET novel and Jon's IRC rebuttal, but... VPSB 5/1/14 GVH_Jon "I don't...

This might help you understand, a Harris Interactive poll on how often computer owners do backups, broken down by age, income, education,  and frequency of backups https://www.backblaze.com/blog/seniors-are-the-kings-of-data-backup/ 9% of people backup daily 33% of people backup monthly the...

The post that is relevant to this thread was copied here since LET hid it: my tl;dr: GVH once again giving admin/node access to people (in this case one of their customers/resellers) without proper screening...nothing new.  There are also allegations that GVH was frequently late paying its HVH...

Probably the oldest host in North Carolina: AIT.com, in business since 1995 and they own a large datacenter in Fayetteville.

I don't see the problem with Facebook using facial recognition software, after all, I have nothing to hide. 

Hetzner.co.za (Hetzner Pty Ltd) has been offering cheap servers in South Africa since 1999.  It owns and operates 4 datacenters in South Africa..it opened the first one in CapeTown in 2001. The cheapest VM in South Africa is Host1Plus in Johanesburg: their cheapest plan includes 500GB (at...

so 25.5ms latency from the WHMCS at RamNode NYC to the database server at BHS...performance must be wonderful...especially when there are network blips between NYC and BHS.  ...and this tardness is exactly why I told  Jon on WHT he needs to hire someone like Rack911 to do a forensics exam and...

His latest WHT VPS offering last week.  To be fair, the ad says "over 4000" and in a few recent WHT posts he has bragged about "4500 customers", but still very small and nowhere near the level of activity that would require a cluster or a dozen or so directors/Vice Presidents and Level 3 techs...

Taking a wild guess: do they use OnApp?  I had something similar happen 2 weeks ago with my VPS at SeFlow (VPS froze, restart attempts were failing, a few random cold migrations occurred) and they contacted OnApp who discovered (yet another) bug. Murphy usually waits until 2AM-4AM to get me.

A few possible reasons why the idea of GVH using a WHMCS cluster is ridiculous: 1. if they were using a cluster of WHMCS front ends all of the front ends wouldn't all start showing an Apache 404 error page at the same time.  Then there are the other factors: 2. a demonstrated complete lack of...

Cleaning up in the wake of a breach is never a cheap undertaking unless you try to hide it and that can end up costing you even more. There was a recent study by Symantec that estimated the average cost to a business of a data breach at [$188 x (number of records compromised)] which is probably...

7th floor, 12000 gallons, CorporateColo?

It should also serve as a good lesson for other hosts on how not to store personal identification documents that customers submit during the verification process. Repost of what I just posted on WHT:  Copies of passport/photo ID/utility bills and other documents that customers submit should be...

Posting the data breach notice is a positive and if he follows through with notifying the people whose data was compromised it will be another positive.  It's certainly better than the providers we've seen whose entire customer database was posted online and never notified customers. Please do...

Donald Trump definitely was taught as a child to thumb his nose at customers.  His father, Fred Trump, made his $400 million fortune (which is why Donald is rich) by being one of the worst slumlords in New York.

The 3rd time that customers have had their data publicly exposed to unknown individuals, but when you consider that this is a company that hires poorly vetted questionable characters from Skype/chat rooms/Romper Room, and gives them access to customer info, and that this is also a company who...
