    VPS with a dedicated drive?

    I like this idea, conceptually. Goes along with my move to avoid OpenVZ and stick to more isolated virtualization with more control over things. When you start thinking of cost, such an option really puts you in dedicated pricing area.  Hopefully, we start to see more L54xx, L53xx and similar...

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

    all past threads and new threads to be moved to where they will not appear in the 'View New Content' link I was with you until that point...     View New Content is for new content, period.... until this exception.... as proposed. It's not like the homepage Recent Topics box which I could see...

    Looking for a Pandora alternative.

    Is there a Spotify client for Linux that isn't browser based?  Perhaps something like the Pandora client herein above listed... or something with CLI?

    Your viewpoint on Captcha "solver" software

    I hate CAPTCHA.   Half the time as a human I can't decipher the bullshit. Ran into limits reached and flagged for CAPTCHA fails in the past.  Notably the crap Google/Gaggle owns. Inevitably the creative will create machine learning algorithms to work around nearly anything.  It's a cat and...

    Do you think brands are important in the VPS market?

    The purpose of a brand is to differentiate your product from others and make them think of you first when making a purchase decision. ^--- This. Branding is usually a value re-enforcement, but not necessarily value relating to cost..  That value can be best product for the dollar, best product...

    Do you think brands are important in the VPS market?

    A logo is just one tiny piece of brand identity.  Brand identity itself is just one piece of branding.

    Do you think brands are important in the VPS market?

    VPS companies here and over on the old junker sites are mainly small businesses (98%+/-). These companies make it or fail based on the ownership/management/public facing folks and community perception. What they are talking about in that New Yorker article, as it relates to brand loyalty are...

    Would you host with them after the events they have been involved in?

    and... I am not missing the humor of lumping GVH / CC in here.... In Biloh's wet dream he swallows vD.

    Would you host with them after the events they have been involved in?

    GVH is cheaper?   Where's their colo offer posted?  Didn't post it here, now did they, meh!?!?! As for coloing with vD on a single homed Cogent uplink, meh.   I'd rather have Verizon FIOS, Google Fiber or perhaps an EVDO connection instead.  Nothing like having your gear kidnapped and lost in...

    First step: Geo database

    Even with Anycast geo-dns functionality is being calculated in such manners (i.e. utilizing often MaxMind or similar data to correlate IP to lat/lon and then make comparisons to geocoded or regionally labeled A records). Talking about 100-200ms lookup time on such records, when optimized ---...

    ColoCrossing / VSNX Starts it's Hostile Takeover of the LOWEND VPS Market

    Funny, Fabozzi won't touch his entitlement behavior, hanging with minors committing felonies, disregarding privacy regulations, dabbling in tax fraud, etc.  But along comes Kossen.  I hope they are paying you well... "I don't know how everything went in detail, but I believe Scott gave the site...

    First step: Geo database

    Seems somewhat overly complicated.  When the officially heady crazy math formula arrives most of us tune out ;) Let's divide things up, the known and unknown. Known ---> your server locations and prior lat/lon geocoding. Unknown ---> requesting party's location and lat/lon info. The known...

    Can you have a DC inside of a DC?  Nested or shall I call them slabbed DCs? To accomplish such what would be necessary?

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

    Hopefully Zeneva isn't going to go into the bandwidth business --- CoreXLayer.... Word is that venture already was selling 10gig ports across the country and there were ahhh issues.  Be forewarned.

    BlueVM Change of Ownership?

    Funny, but, the entire Rallias + BlueVM + ChicagoVPS only involved those providers.   No other provider was involved... Maybe the illusion of a hacker was involved too...
