Honestly? Change of scenery. A friend of mine is going to be moving down there anyway so he's wanting me to come stay at his place for the summer(s) so I figure why not? Personal costs come out about the same and it makes it a lot cheaper & easy if I want to take a trip over to Vegas. I'm...

I can't drive, but if I could I'd do that for sure. Come next year i'll probably be spending 3 - 4 months of the year in LA which means trips to LV are quick enough that Matt & I can drive over for a weekend of whatever. Francisco

When we were with HE we had multiple multi hour outages because they screwed up their systems and once was on generator power for multiple days. Was incredibly stressful and is what caused EGI to pull most of their users out of there. They recently hired on Anthony and he's a huge help. He's...

I dunno. Maybe having a cage makes things easier since there's plenty of space for storage so things get taken right from the shipper right into our rack. Francisco

They installed a fairly beefy 2nd generator/UPS system when I was there last :) It's for their B side legs. Fran

They've not had any since last year when they had an ATS crap out. Honestly, i prefer the honesty and heads up. I've been with a few providers over the years that had been on/off of generator power w/o telling any customers. I've had at least 1 other that said they had generators when they...

I found spamming him on google hangouts works great :D Honestly the only things he really made me wait on was IPV6 & an IPMI drop. I learned to start talking to Don/etc directly to speed things up if I'm impatient. Francisco

I already talked to Rob about it and they were ready for this due to some upgrades their power company was already working on. Francisco

I sent them an email to get enrolled as a provider but never heard back :( I'll try again this week. Francisco

Well that's retarded. I'll see if I can get a ticket in with them about that. Francisco

I could enable it but I don't know a lot about it for tuning. Since you'd be the first/only person to ever ask for it I could probably do it and not worry about it right now. :) I'll talk with Aldryic and see. Francisco

I think his plan was to make it not require any other fat ;) Francisco

Nah nah. I hand picked Joel personally. Joel wasn't positioning himself for it with LEA. LEA came to me about a successor and while I would've (should've) taken over the community, I didn't want it run by a hosting company in general, no matter what. Francisco

Not quite :) We pay full price on our ad spot and had to contend for it just like the rest. The only reason we got it and others didn't is that we replied to the sales emails w/ payment faster than others :P Curtis ran the site for quite a few months before the LE* civil war. Curtis is a client...

I dunno about that Curtis. Prior to LEA giving up control of LEB, CC was actively harassing him to sell the site to them. Once Joel got mitts on it, the site was DDOS'd and Colocrossing "Saved it". Now, the funny part is CC had the server on a single 1gbit port without any ACL's. They told...

If it was purely WHMCS they would block WHMCS I would think. Given Solus' coding practices it's possible that the WHMCS upgrades really botched things but that's pretty far fetched. Francisco

Maybe it's a new exploit in the SolusVM module? It's the only thing I can make sense of since they left WHMCS online w/o issue. Does anyone know if they were using the official module? Francisco

Can you include a last name or at least a first initial on that? Only reason I bring that up is no one wants there to be assumptions made by "Which Chris?" Francisco

Well, SSD's rarely ever die + there's RAID10 so there's the safety of that. While I know that's a 'silly comment to make', for webservers, drives are usually like 80%+ READ and then the rest WRITE/REWRITE. This means our current drives are almost idle at times. Top that with the amount of RAM...
