Is it possible the request to YT is going out over IPv6 from the VPS? I know YT supports IPv6, but the geolocation on IPv6 blocks is messed up because it's so new and huge.

Yes, but you are providing it to new clients, not just on request like me?

"The new and improved BetterVPS, now operating out of a real data shack - someone's shed in Indiana where I managed to tap power and 10Mb/s wireless Internet from their house."

The fact of the matter is, no matter what Robert did or did not do, no one will trust him for a long, long time. If he gets sued (successfully or not), the trouble might teach him a lesson and make him a more respectable person, but that will be a while. He actually gave me a VPS to review...

Not sure if this is "industry news", unless someone is planning on using this to start a new datacenter?

I believe it was this part:

A while ago I was considering getting a 2GB for $7 OpenVZ w/ $10 cPanel "deal" from them. I am glad I did not.

Good review, thanks for pointing out some of the quirks for prospective clients. Good to hear they're using a different panel, though there are drawbacks to whatever panel is used. The note about no mounting of ISOs is definitely worth keeping in mind.

...Then have it send the e-mail to a shell "forwarder" that goes through to your real e-mail.

Don't you lose money if I only pay the first month @ $63 then cancel?

Sure, it works, but it took me time and money to set up my 5 nameservers, I want them to be used! Also reliability and failover and yada yada yada.

Just out of curiosity, are you provisioning tunneled IPv6 to all new NYC clients?

Just heard back, and they have enabled changing the NS records, so now I can use the domain however I want. You can only set two nameservers though.

While I agree with you, I haven't seen that being an issue in any signature so far. And "immoral" seems a bit strong.

Still haven't heard back from them on that one. Either support isn't very fast or they're taking their time evaluating my request.

You can register it, but it seems you can't immediately change NS records to actually use it apart from their free website/hosting plan. From their FAQ: I've submitted a ticket to enable this feature, we'll see what I get.

Everything now seems to be responding normally. HE recognizes the IPv6 block on AS19531.

Letbox uses a custom panel called vPanel. ServerMania has a custom billing panel. FST Servers uses a custom panel, possibly for both billing and management. These are just a couple I came up with searching LEB for "custom panel". They are out there, but as has been mentioned you can't be sure...

"Stable version" - I didn't think they'd come out with one yet?

I didn't vote because my answer is "kind of". The important ones are mostly backed up, though a lot of them have constantly changing data so it's hard to constantly keep up to date. I know I should set up a backup system and automate it, but I'm very lazy and I figure what I have is "good...
