    Angry Complaint

    These things happen.  Not the first time and won't be the last. Contract law. Pull all paperwork with a signature and all documents reference in said signed docs. Review that bundle and nothing else.  If it's not in there then and agreed to it's not going to be enforceable. Draw up a...

    SpamVPS, the industry leading 2GB for a peso brand BBB

    I'll just say it strikes me as odd that something as simple as email management / list management for the customers is soooooo complicated that NWNX / ChicagoVPS can't get it done.    Non technical n00bs have figured this compliance and common sense thing out a decade or more ago. I expect the...

    Does SSD storage make all websites faster?

    SSDs are not a fix to bad coding, lack of RAM, poor configurations, etc.   It can and will help on fresh, mostly empty drives though. Optimization should be done to your site / web projects first.  Proper database indexes, table design, etc.  Tune queries - get a DBA for an hour or two to do...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    @William what did he boot your service for?  I saw some ticket action flying around that was attributable to you, but never was clear therein what he was alleging you did or didn't do with your VPS instance. Fraudrecord -  I don't use it, but intend on API tying it to tools for other use in the...

    SpamVPS, the industry leading 2GB for a peso brand BBB

    Really?  I just loaded the page fresh earlier and the BBB logo was there.  No caching here.   Just went and loaded it and it's gone.  Someone has either Poked at the site: Last-Modified: Tue, 23 Dec 2014 05:34:14 GMT So something odd going on ;)  CVPS site is behind CNServers so not...

    SpamVPS, the industry leading 2GB for a peso brand BBB

    I will also be contacting the BBB about what they can do to force Colocrossing / ChicagoVPS to remove the misleading / false advertising of being BBB accredited.

    SpamVPS, the industry leading 2GB for a peso brand BBB

    Fun thread on LET right now with humans amassing to teach ChicagoVPS about spamming and this incessant emailing of CRAZY OFFERS --- even LET mods are in on it: http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/40680/chicagovps-spammers If you ever made the mistake of buying from CVPS or they somehow opted you...

    London Teen Charged in Connection with Massive Spamhaus DDoS Attacks

    Ald with the harsh papa ruler on some knuckles. I don't think @RTGHM is in the riff raff group.   In my younger years I would have likely shortsighted in view continued to gaze upon DDoS as an interesting disruptive force for hacktivism. It's like the person that decides to run down the road...

    London Teen Charged in Connection with Massive Spamhaus DDoS Attacks

    DDoS had a run as a protest method.  It was alright at the onset.  Now though, it's too disruptive, too often in disruptions and more common than someone threatening to come over and punch you in the mouth. What is going to happen inevitably and should have already is infrastructure like these...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Someone dropped GVH's box on this offer with quite a few simultaneous inbound HTTP requests - sustained overnight. 100TB thing, bad bad bad idea.   Unless someone has boxes to burn up and nearly free and bandwidth to balance. Hopefully no legitimate customers actually bought that offer and...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    But, doesn't everyone need 50 IPv4 addresses on their sLowend VPS? Amazing the kid takes offers to all time highs and lows at the same time.

    Hosting business

    6 months~ if you keep a clean nose, are good about customer responses and right price [depending on niche / market].  Plus service uptime should be good and minimum of noise out there. You'll get orders prior to that obviously, but that's about when it should start clicking well or due to...

    What's the going rate to store 1T of adult content?

    1TB storage = meh $240 in disk tops overpriced RAID-10 one time invest.  Less with recent bigger storage. 20GB a day = 600GB a month... under 1TB.  2Mbit +.   Your BW upstream rate plus premium.  $6-10 ? $20+ a month. Depending on nature of his collection and what he does might be other...

    Skills needed to work in datacenters?

    Like with all jobs: 1. Actual interest in the field, not just another clown looking for a job cause they read IT was the new boom e-con-o-me. 2. Relative experience - this can be an actual job previously, or it can be an internship (more folks should do these / apprenticeships). 3. Good grasp...

    London Teen Charged in Connection with Massive Spamhaus DDoS Attacks

    I think they ought to sentence desktop terrorists to 6 months of hard labor followed by a bootcamp and after that perhaps they carrot dangle some government consulting / employment.   These lads all need some discipline and timeouts to do bigger worldview.
