    You asked - we delivered. Bandwagon Host in Florida and Micro plans... And KiwiVM!

    Look at those crazy plans.  $5.99 a year? Can you tell us more about Bandwagon?  How long have you folks been in business?

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    Using the RPi to learn Python sound like a great idea.... Should bring some of that knowledge up to here... Bunch of Pi owners lurking and good way to get folks doing more with them.   I need to pick up another 512MB on.   Existing one is already overtaxed doing other things :)

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    Wow neat project.  Back ordered or hasn't shipped yet though?

    Android music player

    Good topic :)  Overdue nagging need for something similar as I have lots of music / audiobooks and haven't enjoyed them much since tedious and disconnected.   Phone/tablet access would improve that. How about a DLNA compatible front end maybe?  minidlna?

    CVPS buys UGVPS

    What ToS?   Plenty of them don't even have them.  Most of them are freely stolen or autogenerated garbage.  I could fit an elephant through most of them and if they barked slap them legally for fun / education. Maybe sometime soon I'll help raise the bar for wannabe hosts and newbies.  Proper...

    Packet Loss at Fiberhub?

    Zeneva no doubt has toured Fiberhbub.  Timmy likes him some datacenter visits... Running out of DC's in Vegas though.  Time for a new city I think. I was looking at other "brands" of Zeleavinga and SWITCH-tastic.  Like a man-boy love affair with SWITCH.  One web site all SWITCHed up with photos...

    Balls and broken glass... Thanks WelltodoInformalCattle....

    CVPS buys UGVPS

    There are a lot of deals that just aren't announced folks.  Those deals get under my skin as a privacy advocate / concerned with such trivial matters. Information policies, releases of customer data, etc. aren't being handled right at all. Maybe if we create some new forum sections for my...

    ColoCrossing & Hudson Valley Host are dishonest, unethical, and partake in illegal activities

    Well welcome to the CC haters club of Freetopia.   I am your resident helpful guide. Yeppers some of the people around here outed that ownership after months of them denying their underhanded acquisition of what was a community and not-for-profit.  Now it's purely for profit. Hudson Valley...

    GVH suspended after minor use of 100TB plan

    It's close, like always.  Just depends on how much spin gets thrown on that curveball.  Always over the target, always. Honestly, in a bargain climate and in a bargain site LET/LEB where you are known for firesales and dealing with clients that often leave a lot to be desired, demanding, etc...

    GVH suspended after minor use of 100TB plan

    I don't see this happening, unless someone has a pile of them and nearly free / pay me later.  He's scrambling to find solutions while on self inflicted fire.  CC can't deliver more servers and been waiting for such for weeks.  Thus his trying to buy out dissatisfied customer on LET thread. The...

    GVH suspended after minor use of 100TB plan

    And this is why someone advised Jon to cool it :)  To take a long run, read a book, do some yoga, etc.  Put down IRC, stop the social stuff in the industry, and regroup. It's nice to see people helping or trying to (Jon), but deals like this are why I raise holy f'n hell on providers and...

    CVPS buys UGVPS

    It was far more than just a name change.   It was a verified PayPal account, a change of the info while Fab was supposedly driving/on the road, a money transfer to Fab's account... and there were calls and threats late at night.  But I digress.  Too many Groundhog days. I can't force people to...

    GVH suspended after minor use of 100TB plan

    This is true.   It's hard to differentiate the nature of deals at some of these providers/DC's.   Unsure about GVH's arrangement with upstreams.  If really a straight rental (HVH is known for month-to-month rentals) or something funkier.  Assuming rental in this muck though. My rule with...

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    Worked on this project yet?  Sounds good / useful. Glad to see the Pi conversations.   Hope to get more hobbyists working on them here in the near future.

    List of reliable sub 20$ per year providers

    Some hazards though as your offers include some "big" plans. Overdue on cobbling tools for the data.  Too often running around looking for suitable offers and not really any great way to search/locate.

    CVPS buys UGVPS

    No @wlanboy "You[']r[e] kidding"  :) Overdue CVPS + UGVPS was... they had to do something since that brand was banged up and DigTheMine has been getting dropkicked in MineCraft communities.... Surprised there is even any asset left at this point.  Certainly not press worthy.

    GVH suspended after minor use of 100TB plan

    Spot on @Jade. If my upstream couldn't deliver gear in weeks, I'd be making other plans.  Colo is one option, if their DC has the space, power, etc.  Heck if I honestly know.  Someone does. Any time a provider wants to buy some gear I am all for it.  Shows a bit of proper thinking often...

    Here's the press release spot edited. While waiting for my tea to be made.  Revision #1.   A 15 minute time waster :) ########################################### PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release New Wave NetConnect LLC is pleased to announce they have acquiredsition of  UGVPS and its...

    GVH suspended after minor use of 100TB plan

    I'll say I've seen plenty of ratios of real RAM to sold RAM... 1-3 to 1-5 are the range most folks run. GVH container per server count I suspect (no I don't know firsthand) is laughably low comparatively, has to be.  But that is offset and made bad by two things:  1. High RAM per VPS sold; ...
