    Roundcube ispconfig3 ubuntu 12.4

    This is for Debian Wheezy so all of the instructions should work for Ubuntu 12.04 just change the repos.   If Ubuntu has a repo that's the equivalent of Debian Wheezy's backport repo use that repo (the roundcube version in regular wheezy is 0.72, backports is the newer 0.95)...

    GreenValueHost review

    Worry plenty, they're already finding ways to weasel out of honoring that "Anytime Money Back Warranty". http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?p=9203800&postcount=137

    BlueVM OpenVZ 512 MB (CH)

    BlueVM is the only thing down at PrivateLayer Switzerland.  BlueVM has a history of paying bills late (their corporate status in Colorado has been "noncompliant" since August 1st because they also have a history of not filing returns on time).  It's the weekend and PrivateLayer's billing...

    Rage4 "Prey-as-you-go" extortioncast DNS business model

    The potential liability created by the failure to verify account information far outweighs the amount you could realistically hope to recover if you turned the accounts over to collections.  I'd implement a verification system before I even thought of going the collections route, and then only...

    Things that happen or annoy you in this industry...

    Why not make the randomly generated server password and/or keys available in the control panel instead of emailing it in clear text?  One example of a panel that uses this method for passwords and keys is NephOS (one of my favorite custom VM control/billing/account management panels...

    Have you ever been given more resources then you paid to receive?

    They switched over to the i7-3770 but didn't update their website for about a month so everyone who ordered during that period received that surprise.  For many people those early i7-3770's were a very nasty surprise because Hetzner got a bunch of faulty motherboards with bios problems that...

    MMMM Time to swap providers!

    He claims GVH is hugely profitable...or at least he claimed that until he posted today that the real reason they moved everything back to CC last month was the company was nearly bankrupt.  By my count that's 2 near death financial experiences in 9 months (there was the WHT "financial crisis"...

    Is there such a thing as asking for too much money during an interview?

    Yes True (if the number is way over the  upper salary range for the job).

    OVH vs Hetzner dedi

    The prices shown on the Hetzner/ServerBidding sites include 19% VAT so if you're outside the EU the prices are lower: current low prices are 31.09 euros VAT exclusive (37 w/VAT) for the i7-2600 and 37 euros VAT excl (44 w/VAT) for the i7-3770

    OVH vs Hetzner dedi

    I'd rate their network above average and definitely better than OVH BHS (the BHS network sucks compared to OVH France).  Their network has improved greatly over the past couple of years.   Swiftway (who has been known to be critical of other networks) even had favorable things to say about...

    ...oh but they cleaned it and demolished the really toxic buildings after they closed it in 2009... :P  That aluminum plant was built in 1943 and was closed because it used outdated smelting technology. Beauharnois Works, where electrolysis activity was shut down in 2009, transferred part of...

    [US] VPS Provider's Guide to Federal Warranty Law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act)

    If the host can convince the court that it's a service (which they shouldn't have any problem doing unless it was RTO, etc) then the warranty act wouldn't apply but there are plenty of other laws someone could use to rip some of those "no refund" polcies to shreds...especially when a host is...

    [US] VPS Provider's Guide to Federal Warranty Law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act)

    Go check the WHT announcements section. :P Virtual goods would probably be covered under the warranty law but the US law doesn't apply to services so it would be up to the court to decide if that dedicated server is a virtual good or a service. Adding a "warranty" to a contract is one of those...
