    Do you tell a customer your server specs if he asks?

    And for our real-world reply :P "You can find a full breakdown of our hardware here - http://wiki.buyvm.net/index.php/hardware .  We did do a recent hardware upgrade for the 256+ plans in Vegas; those nodes are now running E5 2630L processors rather than the listed 5638's (announcement on the...

    Modern methods to stress test a VPS?

    Well, there is that Cayetano guy running AtomicBooter. That aside through, Pie is right.  Providers aren't going to tolerate "because I can" stress testing.  When I catch someone causing trouble for other clients, and the only `excuse` they have is "I wanted to see what the VPS could take"...

    Kindle vs actual books?

    I used a second gen Kindle for years (e-ink + keyboard kind, that still has free Whyspernet if I ever bothered to charge it).  These days, using a 7" tablet simply because it makes more sense to have a multi-functional device than a batch of individual hardware. It took quite some time to get...

    LET Down?

    Hrm.  Looks like I'm just reading it differently then - I don't see any encouragement, just hindsight commentary.  On several occassions pub has done anti-skid rants, and to me his "should've hit them in the wallet" is no different from the Americans that said "Should've gotten in further" when...

    LET Down?

    You know you can crawl out from under their desk now, right?  No need to go waving flags around for a hypothetical situation.

    LET Down?

    Aye, true - but there's a bit of a difference between apathy and encouragement.  I can't bring myself to feel sorry for the folks suffering from CC's incompetence because... well, at this point they really should know better.  Doesn't mean I want to see them get hit, or celebrate the fact that...

    LET Down?

    Yes, people make bad choices.  They learn from them, and adapt.  The ones that refuse to learn from their own (or others') bad decisions are the ones to, as you say, 'deserved this'. To appease your specific example - we have sufficient.. affiliations everywhere that we could've put someone on...

    Looking for a business partner(No investment required)

    There is no 'legal age of maturity'.  Maturity is a nebulous factor, the qualifications for which  vary from person to person.  Being a legal adult doesn't make you mature, and being a minor doesn't guarantee immaturity. Little bit of advice - if you want people to actually be able to take your...

    BuyVM announces Europe, Anycast IP's, Floating IP's, & Bandwidth pooling!

    Yeah, no, we're not GVH, and we're not going to pull a Jon and give a ridiculous price just in the hopes of finally getting a positive review.  If you really need something that cheap, just get it from him with your employee discount.

    LET Down?

    Perhaps I'm missing something here... but why should pub or anyone else feel any kind of empathy over someone else's choices?  That'd be like telling someone not to pick on Jeff Dahmer because someone else they know made the bad choice of going to his house late one night.

    LET Down?

    Can't recall the last time I saw a 'cluster' have more downtime than free website hosts.  Perhaps someone needs to inform them that simply cramming their little site CVPS style onto a box with 400 other VMs doesn't make it a redundant cluster, just a clusterfuck. Or maybe don't tell lies about...

    Why to suspend spamvertised website based on an SPAMCop email?

    Double-edged sword.  It's rare you see that happen, as most amateur hosts will ignore spamtervising reports, and you end up just giving your target free publicity.  It would be like renting an ICBM in the hopes that your target *might* be in the area it hits.

    BuyVM announces Europe, Anycast IP's, Floating IP's, & Bandwidth pooling!

    Netherlands is highly over-saturated.  We wanted a location we wouldn't be sharing with 200 dime a dollar hosts.

    Usually this means something else when I say it :P (Spoiler is NSFW - you were warned)

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

    Not sure where you saw this, as that only applies to our VPS services.  But basically, we provide support for the product we sell - but if you're having trouble with say, a Wordpress plugin, we will try to lend a hand if we have time, but we don't support third party software. You're looking at...

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

    The order links are on the very first page of this thread - - where it says 'Las Vegas' by each plan. By auto installation, are you referring to Softaculous?  If so, then aye, we do have Softaculous available. We do not provide DDoS protection for the Shared packages - you would need a VPS...
