    Is this the end of ASO/EIG?

    Yikes. I guess the outsourced support is cheap enough to "live with the VPN issues". Francisco

    Staminus sites offline - massively hacked

    Matt's a genius, he isn't some off-the-shelf DDOS protection vendor, he writes a lot of code and always has.  Honestly I wonder if he was simply not involved in the security side of things and things kinda went south. Staminus started as an IRC shell company so exploits, root shells, etc...

    Datashack (Kansas City) has stopped selling colocation

    I'm confused. Were you just cracking a joke/jab over the ownership stuff on WHT when you had that outage thread a few months back or am I not remembering it correctly? Francisco

    That's amazing. The pony will be pleased. Francisco

    BuyVM.NET / BuyShared.NET - Shared - $5/year | Resellers - $2.00/month! Dedicated IPv4! SSD RAID!

    Been a while since we've done an update :) We've now added full letsencrypt support to BuyShared so you can easily assign yourself SSL certificates right from inside cPanel. Just login and check the 'security' icon group and you should see it there. Lets Encrypt does have rate limits in...

    Dedicated server (IP announce, single VLAN for multiple units, IPMI)

    Chat with Rob at Versaweb, i'm sure he can arrange something if you're ordering more than just 1 :) Francisco

    WeLoveServers Sold to HostWinds

    ...o_O Has your friend been directly with HW the entire time? New or old signup? I expect a lot more for next year. Francisco

    WeLoveServers Sold to HostWinds

    No, Hostwinds has their own facility and absorbed the majority of the Burstnet meltdown. Isn't HW made up of old Burstnet workers anyway? quite possible they took the clients instead of them taking the old Burstnet guy to the cleaners. Now, WLS is very much mostly at CC. They have a UK...

    WeLoveServers Sold to HostWinds

    This one is for sure surprising. They had enough CC locations it only made sense if they got absorbed by CC/CVPS at some point, if they weren't already. To be honest, I can't see HW keeping the extra locations for long and to instead rebase things inside their own walls. The only reason I could...

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    @jarland is a hard worker so he likely figures if anyone can right the ship, he can pull it off. I don't see it conflicting with MXRoute and to be honest he's not been overly critical of ColoCrossing in quite some time. I think he simply got tired of trying to fight the good fight from the...

    How do you do staff?

    Support is a hard one. For us I try to take on as much as I can, but I have the benefit of this being my career so it doesn't look good if I'm sitting on my ass playing games all day (used to happen >_>). Working with friends is an extremely iffy thing, and working with family even more so...

    want a VPS 100% DDOS Protected

    We didn't know it was an issue till this morning when Aldryic was handling some test orders and saw that payments weren't marking as paid properly. Francisco

    want a VPS 100% DDOS Protected

    Sorry! We ran into a bug with our Paypal module with the upgrade to WHMCS 6.1. Aldryic's already been working on it but we should have things addressed come morning. Francisco

    VSNX family of companies expands

    I guess the old meme of 'Buffalo is pretty much Netherlands' is about to make a return, eh? It's likely many of those providers had large debts and this was CC's way of getting settled for it. Remember, Nuggets and his fustercluck owed upwards of $10,000 to CC and caused a ton of reputation...

    DDoS Mitigation GRE Tunnel w/ BGP

    It's a conflict of interest for us to offer such services at this time. BGP sessions would be annoying with voxility since they only allow a single ASN as far as I can tell. We'd prefer just doing static routes down a tunnel. With that being said, Staminus can probably arrange something for...

    A Detailed Comparison of Virtualization Solutions -- Oh, and VZ7 probably won't support SimFS and re

    I just don't see SIMFS getting added, but it's going to really hurt their market if that's the case. I've still not had good experiences with PLOOP. I've had multiple times (in testing) if I pushed a volume past like 500GB it would completely corrupt for no reason. There was no way to fix it...

    ChicagoVPS taken over by ColoCrossing

    There was rumors floating around for the past couple weeks, but since there was no way to confirm it publicly it was left alone. I always thought that Chris was mostly a sales rep and not the final say/51% owner. Maybe he was, but I can't see why he didn't take measures to try to have more...
