    Dear Spamhaus, why can't you group providers right?

    They've increased their number of IPs by about 50% in the past few months: 720,896 now. Today's blacklisting of the 23.94.0.0/15 is going to hurt a lot of hosts and end users.  A quick search shows CloudShards, FTPIT, HudsonValleyHost, SSDVPS, LiquidSolutions, McMyHost,GVH, CVPS all have IPs in...

    i want to provide $1 per year vps's

    "Poor people's:" access to IPv6 in most developing countries is even worse than it is in India, and as both DrMike and Dewlance said, people who are really poor don't have Internet access because they are struggling just to put a roof over their heads (if they're lucky) and feed themselves and...

    A note about "Verified Providers"

    Fixed that to my liking.  If you link it to a reviews section on VPSB you'll have an increase in shilled good reviews and providers paying people on fiverr to join here and leave bad reviews about their competitors.

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    WHT uses *** to deal with problems like this and SlickDeals uses [see my member title or ask Fabozzi :P] ...or you could just require that individuals acting as representatives of "Verified Providers" be old enough to legally sign a contract. Either one would cut the back door promoting down...

    Seagate Drives

    +1 There was at least one 1.5 TB model that had a tendency to fail with certain RAID configurations and the Seagate forums/newsgroups were full of complaints about it.  word of warning: the majority of older servers with 1.5TB drives on Hetzner's serverbidding.com are using this model.  Nothing...

    i want to provide $1 per year vps's

    If you insist...time to shoot the idea of an ipV6 NAT VPS targeted to "people who don't have any money" India down. :) 1. positive: India has 151 million internet users but the penetration rate is still only 12.6% 2. positive: only 18.5 million IPv4 addresses for a population of 1.2 billion so...

    i want to provide $1 per year vps's

    The VPS's I've had in India have all had 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps port speeds so you will probably have a hard time attracting people from India.  I would suggest changing your target market to Argentine villa miseria dwellers because a 5 Mbps speed limit will be a luxury for anyone in Argentina...

    vpsBoard Random Downtime

    It has happened to me too.  Next time it happens I'm filing a PayPal dispute and starting "scammer" threads on LET and WHT to let everyone know.  Personal injury lawsuit in the works too because I hurt my finger hitting the back button on the last 504 error. shutdown -h now works even better

    IP Address usage

      2 years later OVH has done a full circle and is now giving out free IPs (€2 setup per IP, no monthly fee) like candy.  It is now possible to order up to 64 x /27 IPs (2048) per server on their regular line and soon up to 16 x /27 IPs (512) on their SYS line (SYS will require a PRO...

    Contract Workers (1099 Status) vs. Real Employees

    EtherVM's post outlined why many employers would rather list you as a contractor (hiring employees mean the employer has to fork out for payroll and other taxes, benefits,  etc...it's friggin'costly to the employer), and why it is better for you if you're listed as an employee (unemployment...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    What isn't false however is that child labor laws in New Hampshire prohibit 16 and 17 year olds from working more than 6 days per week and 30 hours per week during the school year. $10K fine for each violation (http://www.nh.gov/labor/documents/child-labor-guide.pdf )...I won't even mention the...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    If you're a business and you violate the child labor laws of the state/country you operate in it is a huge issue and risk because the fines for violating child labor laws would put most low end providers out of business.  The risks of being reported are also high.  A competitor could report you...
