    LeaseWeb USA Acquires Ubiquity Hosting’s Parent Company Nobis Technology Group

    Two thoughts: 1. Leaseweb just acquired 1.7 million IPv6 and 0 IPv6  2. Hopefully Leaseweb will clean up that cess pool known as Nobis whose IP ranges have been blocked in my firewalls for years because they have historically been one of the biggest sources of spam, spambots, attack bots...

    DOJ vs. Apple over Terrorist Phone

    swiftwaycloud website down

    They stopped advertising their cloud platform on WHT 10 months ago.  I'd contact them through their main site swiftway.net and ask about the status of the swiftwaycloud.com site (i.e. is it just down for 2 days and nobody noticed or is it being discontinued and the notification emails got lost...

    Merchant Account

    Banks are  a good choice but there are also some overlooked options for accepting online payments like  Costco Wholesale (through Elavon) which offers a small business friendly merchant solution with reasonable rates (1.99% for online payments and a low $10 fee for chargebacks)

    KwiBill

    ^^ I'd get that taken care of quickly because the company's annual return is due in less than 2 months (April 3rd) and if the CEO has disappeared and doesn't file in time then the other directors are liable (UK can impose fines up to  £5,000 and Companies House sends directors nasty...

    Google under fire in Europe for tax avoidance techniques

    They do that and they're potentially also giving a middle finger to a large chunk of their revenues from European businesses because without a physical presence in the EU (and an EU domiciled subsidiary)  many of their EU business customers (depending on the customer's country) will not be able...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Yes Click the button before the 20th and the service will terminate at the end of the month (click it after the 20th and termination is end of next month). Not mentioned on that page but all include hardware RAID.  I picked up one of the 2 x E5620's.

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Reason #998 that I tend to avoid buying in the low end these days: conversation from LET customer complains: i am waiting for a vps to be Provisioned since nearly 3 days  provider replies:  As for the new VPS, if i'm doing migrations, provisioning is the least of my worries. You've been...

    Mandrill Removing Free Tier - MailChimp

    If $20 monthly is going to break the bank of any business then I question whether it is worth their time for them to engage in an activity where they need to send transactional emails.  Reason #2 why I don't see any problem with this announcement.  CVPS and other f***tards who used Mandrill...
