I agree fully. I still think there's one more asset he's picked up lately that isn't announced. Francisco

A long way to get to 'Buffalooed was right, the crazy cracker', but hey, props for it all. It'd make sense. It's possible he's turned over a new leaf and doesn't want the people he did business with to take any unneeded heat. Then again, given the write ups we've seen, it's possible your closing...

I'm not sure what benefit they get from running it as 2 brands. They can't post to WHT and once slickdeals finds out they're toast over there as well. Francisco

Alright alright lets not derail/spam this thread too much until he's written his novel. Francisco

Oh i'm sure I will :P I'm just trying to cut the tension a bit while trying to be funny. Take your time. Its been the better part of a year, what's another couple days. Francisco

Great, your stories written by Micheal Bay. Francisco

So after talking to someone that pushed this update out I gotta say the way they handle the IPV6 subnets is hilariously bad. I've looked through the screenshots and they don't even make sense. Why not just have a 'start' and 'finish' field and mark what the bitmask is for the entire thing...

Did they pass $_GET to a setuid binary again? Francisco

Brutal. While they probably don't want to get involved in how their customers operate their nodes, it may be in their best interest to put out a notice requesting hosts install something like nodewatch or something similar just to get things cleaned up. Once all the VPS/cloud providers are in...

You could add it as an option but I don't think you should ignore reallocated subnets. Infact, here's a prime example why - http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/query/SBL229503 Given it's a reallocated box i'm thinking it was probably compromised. Francisco

I got some drafted out but haven't coded much more on it ;) One of them is pretty sweet if I can integrate it nicely. The biggest issue with complex features is that you have to figure out how best to handle the UI. I've gotten a lot better at UI since Stallion 2's roll out but still. Francisco

Sigh, are we hipsters now? Goddammit. Francisco

BuyVM? :) We built our own backups platform. Backups are done nightly and there's also snapshots if you want to take one yourself. Francisco

Maybe. It's just an odd purchase to me since Shaw doesn't really offer datacenter space. Hell, the only datacenters I know of that have/had actual SBS is Rackforce I think (a DC in Kelowna). Everyone else is just peering POPs with them. Francisco

Another page sketch went up, this time for DDOS protection: http://www.varcoedesign.com/work/buyvm/ddos/ I think it looks pretty good :) I'm unsure of the mid page table. It could work but I think we should make replace it with a small paragraph explain our autonull. Francisco

It's 1.2B now? I thought it was 820M.... This is a pretty interesting move. I know shaw had their big-o-pipe brand for a while but that became Shaw Business Solutions. I just don't see how a ton of different datacenters makes sense. Francisco

That's awesome. Thanks, RT'ing this to twitter :) Francisco

Actually, I just noticed this is incorrect. The $22/month plan would be 1GB RAM, 1GB Swap. Francisco

We're looking to offer it in the next month or so :) I just need to finalize some of the details with Karen & Aldryic. Francisco

The plan is to bake management into all 256MB+ plans. Prices wouldn't go up, we'd simply add 24/7 management. We're planning to introduce 2 more plans as well, that have cPanel included in the price. Plan #1 - 2GB RAM, 2GB Burst - OpenVZ based - 150GB SSD Storage - 10TB transit - X amount...
