    Choopa sends out Vultr to drown in the DigitalOcean

    Whoa daddy!  Seeing other folks tickets and payment info.   That's epic #failing. I'll wait until the dust clears on this offer.   They were doubling your money, but heck, that might mean someone else's account/money from what we are seeing :)

    Choopa sends out Vultr to drown in the DigitalOcean

    So Choopa has dropped a new product called Vultr.com, it's attempt to compete directly with DigitalOcean. A side-by-side comparison of vultr.com and digitialocean.com show a lot of similarities.  A total ripoff if I may say so myself. The bottom end package 512MB, 20GB disk and 1TB transit is...

    Chris Fabozzi of ChicagoVPS wanted to start a data center with who?

    Centerra is a company ChrisK is part owner of, yes. There were long running issues between CC and Avante.   Even the usually reserved Jeremiah Shinkle took his pot shots at Avante back in the ole days.   I never noted who started what along the way and fitting this in that situation, well it...

    Chris Fabozzi of ChicagoVPS wanted to start a data center with who?

    So, since it came up in another thread around here and probably isn't known so widely... The Chris Fabozzi email to someone years ago about  collaborating to open a datacenter.. This email: The magical other person that Fabozzi was chattering to was: Avante.... ChrisK's former company...

    Chris Fabozzi from ChicagoVPS can you reply to YOUR tickets?

    He can't reply to tickets... He's too busy this weekend creating email based sales offers for his several brands, shipping those out, fulfilling orders and playing whack-a-mole. PS: The weekends are probably staffed by the Indian cheap labor...  They are quick to give non-answers and slam the door.

    The RaspberryPi Tutorials - Electroincs I

    Parts included above and future needed for projects --- have a list and good reputable stores for such? Nice to see hardware how-to.   I missed the whole hardware aspect of electronics.  Worked around it decades ago, but wasn't my interest/competency.   Definitely interested in interfacing Pi's...

    Zeneva - Bad experience? I want to hear about it.

    Just in case you needed more Zeneva funnies... Nick_A (RamNode) ran his situation with NTT over on WHT. What ensued is classic gold.   A reunion of folks rubbed wrong by Tim.   One who said Tim was a PITA on WHT 12 years ago and banned. And alas,   the WHT ban hammer was raised and crushed...

    Google will explore bringing Fiber to 34 new cities including Portland and Atlanta

    Does anyone have a link to the 34 tentative cities? I'm not thrilled that the NSA, I mean Google is the company doing this rollout.  However, Comcast, Time Warner, Verizon, etc. aren't much better.  Same bad actors.

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    Thanks!   Just to clarify,  credit worthiness in the traditional sense wasn't what I exactly meant.  Little word messing there on my part.  If the person/company wouldn't approach a bank about a credit deal due to flaky and bogus details was more of the underlying emphasis.  No doubt that...

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    Back on topic!!!! I've been thinking about this concept of isolating the bad-industry chatter.  Actually have been thinking about it far too much lately. There are two distinct dimensions to the chatter: 1. "Established" shady companies 2. Bullshit small wannabe companies The Established...

    vpsBoard on Facebook

    Yeppers, Facebook is fine for when folks are on that site.   We just don't want them peaking into vpsB and watching me reload the same thread 25 times and run funny search queries.

    DNS: Route53 vs DNSMadeEasy

    I'd use / try Route53, but in Amazon fashion they want to latch directly onto my bank.   That's not happening....  Shame....

    Zeneva - Bad experience? I want to hear about it.

    WOW. RamNode spoke, people listened.   Kudos to Nick_A for bringing it and being clear and non-emotional. How much money is RamNode due by Zeneva/Timothy Lee?

    any provider sell 4 gb ram for $7?

    4GB of RAM for $7.....  Hmmm.....   Crazy sized plans unless you have big RAM servers. I know I've seen offers....    One of Oktay's companies does big RAM in Dallas... VPSDime.... Inception Hosting was doing these or larger out of Miami I think. I mention those since both fellows are...

    BlueVM outted on WebhostingTalk.com as bad pay

    I don't have targets... I think just today I posted another company :)  There have been others...  There will be more. This is am improvement of the above point, finely sharpening the pencil point.   I have fewer of these and obviously, there will be more like I promised in this new year. Last...

    BlueVM outted on WebhostingTalk.com as bad pay

    So, hear me out here, because I need some education on the workings of PayPal. You have 2 accounts. One was locked by PayPal for "review". So you bounced to a second one... Isn't that prohibited by PayPal?

    BlueVM outted on WebhostingTalk.com as bad pay

    Oh yeah it would have.... If there is a company I recognize and especially when it's a bold post like that, it will show up here.... Now your issue as posed is BlueVM "using" CC...   That ball of yarn,  someone lend me some cats.  Tee hee...
