    vpsBoard Exclusive Dedicated Server Offers || E3-1240v3s and Atom C2750s

    What is this Intel Atom C2750? Does it support virtualization (OpenVZ, Xen, KVM)? Seems like an oddly beefy Atom server...  not too much off price point of the house special E3 which is a proven mediocre staple at CC.

    VPS Benchmark Testing is Useless. Creating better benchmarking tests.

    That sure is interesting.  I am unclear here, the baremetal has uptime as it wasn't rebooted... The container has no real uptime since it was rebooted. Is the idea here that some providers may be pulling uptime from the master vs. the container/VPS?

    VPS Benchmark Testing is Useless. Creating better benchmarking tests.

    ioping is entirely incosistent/useless in these environments, especially where SSDs and these controllers are rolled in.

    VPS Benchmark Testing is Useless. Creating better benchmarking tests.

    This is something that has been pointed out elsewhere and by others... People are testing dd with ZERO data which is like 99.99% compressible.  That practice needs to stop.   If anything should be random data and with payload that should break cache/explicitly removes cache and other...

    PayPal Business US Verified Requirements

    Someone was asking me about PayPal Business accounts. Business Account in US and Verified by PayPal. Are there incorporation requirements for such or what does PayPal require?  Anyone recently dealt with this?

    VPS Benchmark Testing is Useless. Creating better benchmarking tests.

    Well there are legitimate reasons why the old school benchmarks intended for baremetal (dedicated servers) isn't up to snuff. Smart folks who are NOT providers pointed at various things and they make sense. If anything, all/most providers don't want discovery of how things really working and...

    VPS Benchmark Testing is Useless. Creating better benchmarking tests.

    So, some of the valued community members have pointed to highly technical reasons why benchmark testing inside of VPS containers and other virtualized environments is useless.   Useless on gauging CPU, useless on disk IO and throughput information, generally useless. Goal is to get input on...

    U.S. judge rules search warrants extend to overseas email accounts

    It's just not a good time to be involved with the US in general. If McMegaCorps based in US thought they could creatively work around privacy stuff with offshoring stuff, well I haven't a clue of how much of that hydro they've been smoking out on the West side of the US.  But they were doped up...

    GreenValueHost forced password reset - Security breach?

    True to some extent Mr. KuJoe! Problem is, since I went to looking, is that ability for customers to log into panels seems to be hosed also.  WHMCS appears down along with their website. Someone with services now or prior can maybe confirm if other direct URLs to Solus are also down.

    Technology based charities? Community powered charity auction?

    Free Geek seems so familiar.. I just can't put my finger on it... Mann, perhaps there is a local regional group in your town/region?  Would be local excellent and all.   Figure local is best place to start campaign.

    GreenValueHost forced password reset - Security breach?

    Well they were to start with base CF.. and tier up appropriately....  Much of this botnet would be pre-bad-listed with CF and get captcha'd by CF or dealt with otherwise by them.   The botnet is still running on compromised machines that were put on lists nearly 2 months ago. As for the IP...

    "It's not just you! http://greenvaluehost.com looks down from here." This is why you have staff around the clock or get your lazy princess ass out of bed, or never go to bed when someone is burning your castle down. Kids though, they have a bed time or they might get grounded and their...

    GreenValueHost forced password reset - Security breach?

    I ran out of popcorn ... so I went back to being helpful... Ho hum... Ramnode had like 200+ load on that server, due to attack... so Layer 7 they have, meh... what shall I call it? People diss CloudFlare, me included, but up it went. Things were alright.  Then CF started straight passing...

    U.S. judge rules search warrants extend to overseas email accounts

    Seriously, this sort of dick move by the Courts are in line with their other long arm statutes and rulings which give jurisdiction far and broad and even abroad where an entity does business in the US, or is a US company or has other connection or nexxus to US. This is the type of crap I warned...

    Dicks in government must be flexing their limpy then.   We should exempt little blue arousal pills from insurance plans, especially the insurance of government screwballs.

    Meh, those are so darn big and blah willie.... I'd like to see something grassroots and local/regional and ideally dealing with youth.

    GreenValueHost forced password reset - Security breach?

    That is true.  Assuming they have that much filtering and connectivity dedicated to such... not making a judgement either way... cause... What is going to happen way before then is a puny VPS is going to blow up IO on container and probably ruin the entire server.  Ending up in null, and or...

    GreenValueHost forced password reset - Security breach?

    Allegedly it is a Wordpress exploited fleet of attackers.  Attacks target a single file, but move around when blasted. RamNode is where they were hosting their site.  RamNode's server got punched with very high load.   Nulled them. Unnulled and doing other mitigation. DDoS is what it is.   I...
