I don't doubt they were still popular but it's likely that a lot of people didn't bother reading the email yet. Most of their locations should be going dark in the next few days so there'll likely be a big melt down over it. Francisco

But do they host a lot of trash or are owned by trash? Francisco

There's russian mob money behind that one I'm sure. Francisco

It's going to take a long time for that subnet to calm down. There's likely sooooo much bot traffic on it. Francisco

Well, look at the country they're in :) I'm pretty sure if you look for any EU DC they'll have the same results. Francisco

Last I heard the owner was in Egypt so it isn't like they could touch him anyways. Francisco

Are they?? That's a shame :( Their owner/rep seems to be a nice fellow. I know I yelled at him at one point but that's because it originally seemed like his website was a rip of someone elses. Ended up they were both his sites, just translated :D Francisco

The range is extremely dirty so it won't go well. Francisco

Thank you to a helpful soul on WHT for passing along a very interesting email that states Santrex, the scum of the internet, is bankrupt and closing up shop: It has been a long time coming. At one point they had an entire /19 or even an /18 listed with spamhaus and other BL's for all of the...

Yes? He sold his brand to one of his datacenters (I think?) a month or so ago. Francisco

Did they only ever sell in Moldova? There was an email they sent out that said that (one of?) their datacenters was making up charges. If this is true, maybe it's why GetKVM also sold themselves? Francisco

This is KVM. Sure, weights and such come into play but it still means that users are fighting with a VPS that's acting up or being abusive. What if 4 VM's act up ripping up CPU or are stuck in some sort of kernel panic/install busy loop? You've eaten 4 whole threads while the other 30 - 40...

My friend picked up a nexus 4 and it's a pretty slick phone. Feels really solid and runs really fast. It's what has me on the shopping market again :P Francisco

Scum :( That's so lame. Honestly, i'm glad one of these shit heads finally got what was coming to him. There's just too many cases of crap like this. Francisco

Yep. They've had their issues but they were honest, didn't bullshit us, and have gone to good lengths to address it and document it. They keep in close touch about changes they're making as well as ETA's as they get them. I'm not happy with the power stuff but I would rather be in a place...

We need the cores, though. It doesn't matter if we have 6 cores that are 4Ghz each if some vm's get in a busy loop, etc. An E5 will be at best the same power usage. You can get 60W E5's but you will pay out the nose for them. Francisco

We used to use L5520's but we moved to L5638's for almost all of our OpenVZ nodes last year. The L5520's we nice but it was easy to bog them down during busy times. The L5638's were really worth it and was likely one of the better investments we've made. The SSD's are the next big investment...

We have company accounts but still, WU is a pain in the butt :) Some users do pay by it. They end up paying an extra $5 - $10 in fee's on a $5/m VPS. It sucks but for them it's likely the only way to order. Francisco

Clock for clock? No. The opterons do support 4 physical CPU's in a server though. To be honest I didn't even look at opterons but a quick search around shows it'd be quite expensive and require us to upgrade our power. Francisco

 Nope. EGI's offices are on the 16th floor of coresite so they were 6 floors away from the racks we had in on the 10th floor. One of our workers, Matt, used to handle our onsite support. Personally I like the L56xx's. They handle well and come close enough to the E5's to make me have to fight to...
