    Webhostingtalk / Inet Interactive SOLD!

    The need to make money is apparent all over. Sometimes I think about what would be left on WHT if they did away with the offers areas :)  30 days, no offers... People continue to make offers there and pay crazy fees to the place.   I can't see the big cash chip in being worth it.  Hopefully...

    Best place to find coders?

    Hiring depends.  Depends on what role you are in and what you are looking to hire. I prefer to deal with known to me people first.  That would be in real life regional people in my peer group.  Second, I consider online connections.  Finally, everything else. Craigslist can be alright for...

    GreenValueHost is moving again.

    Oh they still have LAX live at GVH.   Unsure which provider it is, but expect it to be phased I'd think.  That's not cheapest location to be (Buffalo would be).

    Virtual6.net Ceases Operations for unforeseen reasons :)

    :)  How nearly spot on... A year later and Ash's prior company reappears in Zombie mode... But Mao is right, the pump and dumps are out of track area.   Even if you pump a company up with customers on the VPS side, it's hard selling that business.  Margins usually are blah, customers have no...

    GreenValueHost is moving again.

    Expect more movement for clients. Usually when companies go all-in Colocrossing, they drop other locations and shuffle stuff from CC other locations that are more costly (think Seattle, Los Angeles, LAX and Dallas (to lesser extent)). Again, VPS line and non profitability big picture or just...

    Webhostingtalk / Inet Interactive SOLD!

    The volume of ads - in WHT offers section is deafening. Me, my little old self, think the frequent posting is far too gracious and should be reduced to twice a month tops.  This way people make their offers original, something worth it, etc.  Lots of what gets posted is autodump of same ad and...

    Stay away from Damien and his company SupremeBytes. (my review)

    ARIN issued costs are different than aftermarket rental/leasing/purchase of IPs. As far as leaving you stuck without the IPs, that surely wasn't cool.  Things like this are in best interest of both parties to work together, be it painfully. Downtime of a month is just bonkers if I read that...

    Stay away from Damien and his company SupremeBytes. (my review)

    Man this is rough.  How many complaints were inbound and how many IPs soiled? Spam is always the client's responsibility to clean.  Failure to do so gets you dropped.  Now not being able to route those complaints to you is just bad, no way to clean things up on manual pass through route. PITA...

    Webhostingtalk / Inet Interactive SOLD!

    I think iNet got out before the place fell down more. I keep forecasting more destruction in the segment.  iNet should have seen the indications a long while ago. WHT being their flagship product has been on a slide for a long while.  Lots of one page and bail usage and low time on page...

    Satellite Internet, anyone using?

    3G or 4G is on the menu also.  Good to have options where on-grid typical stuff just isn't going to be available. Figure I need to start getting use to the bandwidth alternatives before heading more off grid.

    Retailer Forever 21 Keeps the Youth Spirit with Piracy

    If it weren't for cracked software, most of us never would have picked up many of those paid products in the past.    I am for education / personal use free licensing.  Corporations doing that though, bahahaha, hopefully Forever 21, if pirating corporate wide, pays the piper in a big way.  Real...

    Satellite Internet, anyone using?

    Anyone here using a satellite internet provider currently or recently? Looking around for options / alternatives.  Appears the providers have stepped things up quite a bit with more speeds and larger use on plans.   Exede most notably. I don't expect fiber-like latency and quality, just an...

    Really AMS wasn't happy location for them?  Someone else said it was good to UK on latency, but, beyond that not much info.
