Linode isn't as with it as outside PR makes them out to be. A company that has the rep of being that large, certainly should have more redundancy. But, I suspect they are playing around with redundancy on other layers. Have to remember they don't exactly handle malicious traffic on their...

3z.ca runs on somewhat higher side of things on random products. Don't think they are in Peer1 either. There is certainly a Peer1 premium. The have their own network and PoPs all over. Really in my prior experience is a great network in the US and Canada. Nothing wrong with 3Z, just not...

Hmmm, well Aldi runs most of its products themselves. Surely they probably pass mass failures back to manufacturing, but most probably are just wrote off to combat mass profits. Bandwidth is something a user could incur as a cost, but most do not. BW often is part of the providers package...

Way too damn high.

A+B power is mandatory for any paying customer facing hosting. This means where the end users of the server or service thereon are paying. Second leg of power is far from free and adds complexity. Certainly a save though when considering the massive damage from a brownout. Certainly is...

Yes, Peer1, I got that part :) The filtering is CNServers right? They are in Portland, Oregon, opposite coast. Does CNServers / will CNServers be filtering this traffic in Portland? Route === customer on US East Coast, probably crosses through Chicago, goes up to Pacific Northwest, gets...

100% uptime is possible. Totally is a HA failover and multiple datacenters with different upstream bandwidth providers like @SeriesN pointed to. Becomes might problematic with the backend systems providers use and needing to facilitate database syncs to multiple sites that can go up and down...

So, has anyone determined the filtering location yet? See the trial offer and other teasers, but still no clarification.

@SkylarM, that example of pro rated makes sense. The 15th onward + next month, well not my sort of thing. I've had folks try that on much more expensive things (say $50+ items) and I just went shopping elsewhere. On the low end, it is fine with low dollar amounts I suspect. Bigger stuff...

    Well, plenty of low cost and low margin items out there (non hosting) with unconditional money back guarantees. Global grocery retailer Aldi has such a policy. I've seen people bring back to the store random amounts of consumed goods they were unhappy with (many $1-3) range...

Indeed orders in the last week or so billing period present this problem. Perhaps a cut off date or something to bill the two months. At minimum, as I presented the pro-rate the new customer gets a bill after paying partial month. It should be clear why the bill is going to be due and such...

I believe it. Lots of cost cutting going on in the industry and quality control has gone out the window in many places. In your store, how much of sales percent on notebooks do you think is HP? I always recommend reading reviews and not from general places like Best Buy before major purchases.

Yeppers, I edit in notepad, well a much better note alternative on Debian :) Doubles as means of saving my posts locally also. One of these days I'll do just that and stop plunking text in these tiny edit boxes that break/forget/fail too often.

Short on time at the moment so @SkylarM. Pro-rate service --- BuyVM does pro-rate services on the initial month. At last check, they bill then only for that month, not first partial month plus the next month. The billing for the next month, yeah, not a fan of it. I've not signed up to...

8GB at $160. Yeah that's not going to get gobbled up for sure. Hate to sound like el cheapo, but $160 is dedicated server pricing to provide multiple VMs.

Thanks @SkylarM. Let's see about some of the fine points: 3. Privacy Policy --- and WHMCS data retention - I think this is a big deal really, for most customers. If we look at one big well known provider who had a full database dump going on, the data came in that instance from SolusVM...

KVM. What bandwidth upstreams and who is the middle man :) ?

What I am looking for when shopping: 1. Clear "everyday" pricing. Coupons are nice, but having 50 of them that never expire and everyone buying on a coupon is dishonest and bad direction. 2. Clear ToS. The ToS should be mandatory click and initial document prior to payment gateway. The...

HP terrible? I've been buying almost solely from them for probably a decade. No problems and high durability. Now getting them to work fully under Debian without tinkering, well yeah, issues there. Screens have always been fine on them, but maybe I am not comparing $500 units to $3k units...

Why the hate? It's a press piece and it announces the expansion of services to new markets. It also offers up a discount code for customers. Not an offer, just a thank you for existing customers. Is NinjaHawk the worlds best VPS company name? Of course not. Nothing extremely bad about it...
