When we built out in Buffalo we got in many heated discussions over our BGP session. Jon kept insisting that we should just use CC provided IP space "so then could use our own subnets in SJC". I told him that was a no go and if my BGP session wasn't ready at roll out that I'd simply ship the...

That's my take on it, yes. If colocrossing was charging a buck per IP they wouldn't be where they are now. There are countless providers that couldn't afford if the price suddenly hit $1/IP/m without some sort of OVH like 'ramp up'. Honestly I'm not sure how that doesn't scare a provider...

Right, for now. CC's sold out or damn well close (< 10 servers spare or whatever). Who knows if the Buffalo DC has more cabs he can buy w/o commiting to something far bigger than he's ready for? Francisco

Jon made comments in a chat with me a while back about IP prices "will have to go up over time". I can understand that but it seems kind of dickish to get everyone hooked on it at < $0.30/ip for some providers and then look at bumping them to probably $1.00/m, which is the market standard...

Remember that's in pounds so you're talking...$8M USD? Francisco

Yep? At the very least it at least tells you that you got a message. I know i've been out and about town and got email notifications on my phone and was reading over the PM's. Francisco

Use an email :) VPSB has no problem inboxing on gmail which is what I use. Francisco

Maybe iomart knows how to use BGP communities? Francisco

The backups will be off node, on LAN. I've considered the SFTP/SCP options but I couldn't justify charging for that. That then causes the problem of a ton of disk/network load w/o any way to cover the cost. Francisco

It's for sure in the works :) Francisco

The centering makes things a little gimpy looking. If you have addons (RAM, IPs, drives, etc) then for sure post it :D Francisco

Rob was saying that nlayer/GTT came to him with a much better offer and they want to bring him back on since it isn't lameo TINET now. Abovenet was almost at the finish line with getting it setup but then went 'LOL', did a 180 and ran back at the starting line. Anyways, he figures he'll have...

I've always had an uneasy feeling about him. Originally vmport was known as boxsrv and they straight up ripped our design and slapped a logo on it. We called them out on WHT and after some time it was replaced. Now, Ash claims he bought the brand off someone else and that it was the previous...

There's always the pony in Vegas :) I promise, we won't gamble the servers away in a bad game of craps. Besides, Anthony is a "Star Wars Slots" kind of guy >_> Francisco

You can always get a pony :) We don't give much of a hoot about torrents. It's so rare that we get a legit DMCA. Francisco

Well that's good! Still, anyone that has gone through the admin pages can tell there has been many different hands through there. Francisco

I saw this on Reddit just a few minutes ago. We've been discussing it on IRC but I figured I'd bring it up on here as well. http://www.reddit.com/comments/1lcxo4/get_a_superfast_cloud_server_with_ssd_hard_drives/ For those at work or just don't care to hit reddit - The title of the AD reads "...

They changed this as they claim they cut a deal with their host. It's possible they moved to an RTO or... Does anyone have a test IP from the NJ location? Francisco

Don't expect a masterpiece boss. MUCH of their codebase was outsourced in the beginning and a lot of it was never replaced. They simply bolted things on over time. They had a Jason guy for a while that seemed to know what he was doing but I haven't seen him around in ages. Francisco
