    Spamhaus. A good or bad force in the industry?

    To a lesser extent you also see business owners like me bitching about the annual $$$ cost of trying to fight all of the incoming SPAM we get hit with (both email SPAM and web based threats like comment spammers, bots, etc) and going on crusades against shitty SPAM friendly providers like...

    PayPal refusing to process payments to VPN.SH?

    +1 for caring enough about your business and customers to go on vacation at a time when customers are complaining about long response times and many of the locations not being accessible. I put in my cancellation request (immediate cancellation) 7 days ago and the "your service will be...

    RamNode - DDoS Filtering, New Pricing/Plans, Control Panel and RIP Coupons

    Based on NickA's post in March he was looking for much more than just a SolusVM replacement.  Some of the desired new features were hourly billing, OpenStack integration, snapshots, create/destroy/resize containers, etc.

    BlueVM Change of Ownership?

    I wouldn't.  I'd expect things to be exactly the way they are: mediocre with lots of service problems and complaints.  Relying on volunteers, low paid contract workers, teenagers, the inexperienced, and castoffs that other companies don't want, might save costs in the short term but in the long...

    RamNode - DDoS Filtering, New Pricing/Plans, Control Panel and RIP Coupons

    Hiring in house staff to develop a custom panel will cost more than outsourcing the development but it will reduce the long term risks and give them more control over, and understanding of, the finished product (example risk of outsourcing development >  development company goes out of business...

    BlueVM Change of Ownership?

    I'm curious how much [#name redacted] is paying Maarten Kossen to shill and mislead consumers on LEB.  A couple of examples: 1. all of the recent LEB CVPS offers have said "Customers have been quite positive about ChicagoVPS recently" and have contained a link to a thread from March.  Today's...

    BlueVM Change of Ownership?

    BlueVM Communications LLC which is why the WHOIS registrant change from a legal entity to a non legal entity (BlueVM Projects) raises questions.

    BlueVM Change of Ownership?

    I had a dream that one day low end providers would stop issuing for immediate release forum press releases announcing   "the opening of a new location" every time they rented 1 or 2 cheap servers in a different city.  :P The WHOIS was changed a few months ago from registrant: BlueVM...

    feathur = world worst support

    If "they" is the owner of BlueVM/Feathur... 1. Rely on selling lots of annual plans to bargain seekers to fund their short term operating costs during their regular rotation (like clockwork every 45 days) offer on LowEndBox and hope like hell they sell enough annual plans on their next LEB...

    Do you have health insurance?

    You'd be paying significantly more than $10 week if you didn't work for a Fortune 500 company. The health insurance we offer employees is $491.56 monthly per single employee (single w/child rates are 1.75 x the base ,employee w/spouse is 2x, employee w/family is 2.85x). The company pays 75%...

    Do you have health insurance?

    I do.. Too much but the small business health care tax credit and deductions for employee health care premiums ease the pain somewhat. I'll just leave you with these 2 links.  There are some hosting companies out there that provide their employees with competitive wages and generous benefit...
