    Child labor in the low end segment

    MannDude mentioned this in the other thread which might be worthy of its own topic: " contract workers vs real employees", etc.  In the US there is a fuzzy line between contractor and employee, and many companies have learned the hard way (i.e. been hit with fines and demands to pay back payroll...

    VPS Benchmark Testing is Useless. Creating better benchmarking tests.

    I both agree and disagree with your "probably not a virtualized solution at that" statement. Virtualization can be a very good solution for mission critical, resource intensive, or any app that requires a stable environment IF you're using your own server and divide it up into a handful of VPS...

    [Newbie] What are the vital things after setting up VPS?

    GreenValueHost forced password reset - Security breach?

    conspiracy theory: Jon is upset that nobody started any new GVH threads today so he's DDoSing himself to get attention. :P My suggestion to GVH would be STFU and not give any details about the attack to anyone until the attack is completely mitigated. DDoS attackers epenis sizes (and the...

    GreenValueHost forced password reset - Security breach?

    inb4 MannDude says to keep it on topic... Someone alerted me to this which is on topic:  when ordering a GreenValueHost VPS one of the options is: Maybe it's just me, but a company that doesn't even bother to harden its own billing site offering server hardening services to others for a fee...

    "there wasn't a security compromise either." and then in the next paragraph "Two files: cron.php and /admin were accessible to the public.
