    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Thanks @ShardHost! Yes, CVPS is a pet project of mine.  They aren't unique.  Just scamming folks and playing games in Buffalo. I have no love for Colocrossing either and that's where the party is and the plans originate.   Refer to the VPSACE, ServerMania, etc. all being one shell company on...

    New ICANN rules will require email/phone verification for domain registration

    As far as the new requirements, ICANN should rename itself to ICANT. I see no reason to have this info. The registry already has something about you for billing purposes and payment (now to avoid that leaking any info too). What is their intention with this? All I see are increasing domain...

    New ICANN rules will require email/phone verification for domain registration

      Gary, care to explain the mobile sim throwaways and how they come in handy for this.  I've never dealt with them before.  Seems like something I should be better aware of.

    BBB alternative for hosting industry

      I've worked in membership organizations in the past.    While it takes money to do things, most organization like that are fat cats sitting in plush seats.  Very few people and dollars do 80% of the work.  So it's not really expensive to operate.   Very honest business if operated by honest...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

      Well, power is planned based on use and factors that will increase use.  Prior load is based on whatever people actually use.  I might pull 10Kw an hour while the greenie next door pulls 10 watts.   That might be the usage pattern 80% of the days M-F.  I use mine and pay for mine,  he uses...

    BBB alternative for hosting industry

    BBB offers little value in general.  Most consumers have no reason to interact with them and that is very apparent by the lack of complaints filed against huge shady companies with the BBB. Finance such a thing?  Well certainly shouldn't be a non profit, at least not initially.  It's a viable...

     You have to have all address and payment information to verify the client is real. But who will give all customer information to a third party that is involved in the same business?

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    True.  Kimsufi  and OVH though seem to be bottom, but uptick for everything --- like "business" usage. There was one $10 dedicated server based on Raspberry Pi or similar ARM I found a bit back.   Hoping to see more offers like that.  Ideally with a real SATA connector to the drive, or eSATA or...

    BBB alternative for hosting industry

    I am weary of any hierarchy.  All folks in power seem to inevitably let that power/role corrupt their better judgment. I proposed this because I had been mentally dancing with the idea for a while.  I see too much fraud, lies and deception by hosting cartels.  No one outside of myself and a few...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    If I were selling VPS services, I'd be shopping for low cost tiny dedicated style servers. The low end price wise on dedicated servers is mainly around $25.  By end of year, I suspect there will be a few $10-$15 real dedicated offerings.  Can't wait :)

    BBB alternative for hosting industry

    Real quick post here :) What do others in the community think about a new company for the hosting industry that would offer a place for complaints from customers, means of resolving them, apply different factors into a rating for the host and offer some basis of validating a hosting company is...

    This is just not funny.

    He's in Vegas :) Burning up down there. Hopefully, Fiberhub doesn't blow some more electric gear with all the heat and load.

    thread for buffalooed to investigate

    Yeah I'll confirm SSDVPS.com is another shell company being operated by the same folks. The HTML on VPSACE and SSDVPS.com starts out entirely identical then breaks off. The ToS for both sites is a template with a few details modified --- the company name, 48/72 hour money back guarantee. Both...

    thread for buffalooed to investigate

      What will the owner of LET/LEB/Colocrossing do about their customer that cuts them an invoice and they've known probably for quite a while?  They'll keep cashing taking the dirty money. I can confirm another company that hasn't been mentioned and that makes offers in the Low End cesspool...

    Why do hackers think all LEB hosts are ran by 13 year olds?

    I'm hoping that new buy it up host company in Houston isn't going the way of others before them. If I didn't spot them early and had stumbled into their "shell" operating companies down the road, I'd be mighty suspicious.  But, they seem to be going public on their own site at least with owned...
