    Beware of IP justification and your personal data being abused

    You'd be surprised how honest people are when you ask them to justify their IP request. I've avoided countless spammers from getting on my network with that simple question.

    Why do web hosts not use AMD processors in servers?

    I have some nodes that use AMD Opteron 61xx's  and they still do a fine job, but overall Intel is more cost effective when you evaluate bang for buck of the entire build.  I've noticed over the past 3-5 years AMD based systems cost more for lower performance. While the CPU may be on par for raw...

    Chances of starting a successful WISP

    Avoid areas where you have to compete with Cable and DSL providers, you will lose a lot of cash that way, stay in the rural no access areas.  Don't look at what is high that you can mount on, talk to those who control the high points, even water tower access can be costly. I have a small...

    When should you use SSL?

    Explain what you mean here, to me I see this and instantly think marketing mumbo jumbo, the rest of your statement is spot on, to prevent MITM, SSL does not provide any actual security server side than that.

    How do you do staff?

    I worked by myself for as long as I could until it became too much for a single person to handle, then evaluated what would be best to offer support to the customers, which happened to be Chinese nationals, so I sought out someone who was fluent in Chinese and English, did research on average...

    When something can go wrong, it will

    So I am in the process of reworking all the KVM nodes to be 100% SSD, and the Samsung 850 PRO is limit 3 at amazon and newegg, so I bought the limit at each, figure I will need to repeat the process several times, but newegg shipped a smaller drive, no problem I think, mistakes happen, just...

    The Black Friday / Cyber Monday thread. Where are all the good deals going to be?

    Anything I will be interested in will not be on sale this weekend.  Usually just consumer grade products, I have a roku so I retired my home NAS and just stream my content from a Charlotte VPS.  If I see a good sale on SSD's I might bite, otherwise, blah, more food.

    Some free WHMCS Hooks you might find useful.

    I tried this out since I had 1 immediate cancel this morning, changed the $admin user to a valid admin, no credit posted. Sorry I am unable to provide any other details, looking at the detailed cron report has nothing to add. Will wait until you are able to try your test environment.

    Some free WHMCS Hooks you might find useful.

    @KuJoe I was searching for this post when I had the idea you have made a hook that issued credit on cancel and went and looked through https://github.com/KuJoe but I was mistaken.  Can I inspire you yet again?  I was thinking, along the same lines at BuyVM, when a customer cancels service and...
