So Vultr, who advertises here blocks SMTP by default. To have such block lifted, requires an authorization form. That sounds, reasonable. However, Vultr seems to want front and back scans of both a photo identification card and credit card to enable SMTP. I don't support collection of...

Any providers around here have addon/module/functionality within Solus where a customer can self manage backups and deal with fetching files from prior backups?

Seems like Ebay can't handle the mass of password changes either... Media reports about systems going down at Ebay due to such.

CC isn't banned on WHT, at least Biloh's account isn't... nor is Ernie's...   whole bunch of CC-related companies are banned from WHT though. LET isn't really CC hatefest lately.   Althought last quarterly Dewlance protest vote struck a cord in that vein. But, most Lowenders these days would...

I'll say it in public and to some it won't be news. You should focus on selling and profiting on the core products (hosting services).   These IPs I swear are your cash positive flow.   You are selling the condiments essentially while giving the burger away at cost or not much above it. Lots...

One idea that comes to mind here is setting up PHP backend in Nginx as-is... but with additional PHP connection pool backend for failover purposes... Anyone doing such a thing? PHP hitting 100% CPU and staying there, someone ought to have a script to watch for such and able to graft onto it...

All the horror happens when I am away :( 

Meh, you can what you propose....  Two stacks to maintain.  Big security picture recommended for diversity, but need the knowledge on both and to maintain both. Why not just double stack Nginx?  Run two instances... Front one filters stupid stuff out, polices common things, etc.   Other one...

Feel free to run with it over there on WebHostingTalk... Anyone....  I am heading out the door now. Issue I take with it, and probably always will, is CC operating subcompanies then calling it a subsidiary of VSNX.   Talk about intentionally misleading.   Should say a subsidiary of ColoCrossing...

On the twitta' now: Trends #ItsMillerTime Promoted

HudsonValleyHost, subsidiary of VSNX, which is owned fully by ColoCrossing is taking to spamming helpdesks of providers directly... This ended up somewhere earlier...

Every year I review the colo vs. rental game. I still lean towards colo'ing gear.   Same old reasons, big disk (2TB drives), multiples of such, proper RAID controller, these days a few big SSDs (480GB?), as always large RAM (32GB or more). Yeah, you can rent something reasonable.  Hard to find...

Looks like 2014 is the year of mass consolidation. It's good to be a rich old bastard these days. Today relative to the industry here, we have Twitch.tv looking to sell out to Google for $1 billion.  Twitch.tv does game streaming. The biggie, AT&T is offering $48.5 billion for DirecTV.  In...

Glad to see you did this test run giveaway, so no harm or foul. We don't see much OnApp here or elsewhere, so interesting to see the offer and your direction.

Anyone here who received a VPS?   How is it going? How are the speeds, network, etc.?

Still down.... As always, I feel bad for those customers without backups of their data. So, I got to looking. RaidLogic had a LEB offer March 12, 2014.  Too many providers bank on those offers for making the monthly bills and coasting for a bit.  I'll continue looking at the offers there as...

Same crypto optimization exists in my preferred method - SSHFS.  That being Arcfour. Considering most things here are tunneled out via SSH or VPN, the overhead and crypto exists in said tunneling. If you run bare, absent said tunneling, turning the crypto down to especially AES is likely...

Cause the sound of crickets gets tiring.

You up for enhancing the code? I think there is much to be learned in said data and trends by breaking things into annual subtotals and larger picture analysis of pre-CC and post-CC.

I'd like to bid... but no clue what I am bidding on since my text-to-audio technology cannot translate images....
