If they have a mom who's a lawyer and likes to file lawsuits then their pimple co. is "totally legit, cause they said so", and when the hosting career goes south they can always sell the pimple's remains and go and reinvent themselves and become the "Frack Master" (google that phrase). :P

Nephoscale...they currently have a $25 signup credit so no risk....I've been using them for a few years.  Pricing is very reasonable.  Windows Server 2012 R2 is included as an OS option for free...San Jose DC.

There's too much competition with providers offering VPS's on systems with E3-xxxx and E5-xxxx x86 processors so you need to make yourself stand out.  Rent something with Power8 processors and you can have the US Power8 virtualization market to yourself until Softlayer finally gets off their...

You'll need a phone number assigned to your application and phone service... There are paid services like Cisco's Tropo that allow you to develop applications that will receive SMS messages: https://www.tropo.com/docs/scripting/quickstarts/receiving-text-messages. Twilio should allow you to...

I'm assuming Facebook is guilty of the same cultural ignorance that once caused my company's fraud protection to manually reject an order (and piss off the customer whose anger was justified) based on the name submitted (which was the customer's legal name).  Lots of apologies issued over that...

It looks to me like he came out of it offering WHT users 65% off recurring discounts on annual payments. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1486269 See, he did learn something from this police scare. He's posting offers now from his residential connection not his school connection. :P

Probably easier for the low end users too who in the past have tried to install QEMU on their $2 OpenVZ VPS to run Windows XP (see http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/9315/is-installing-windowsxp-on-linux-vps-allowed).

Thanks for clarifying that you posted it "to get back into things" and that the offer wasn't posted in a desperate (but failed) last minute attempt to raise the $1200 you needed to pay your bill. :)

StevenF posted on LET:  tl;dr his IPs got revoked because he was late on payments, bla, bla, bla.  The part that customers should be aware of: CC gave him a block of dirty IPs (what a surprise) and if you need a clean IP you need to open a ticket (sounds like the basis of a dozen HVH complaint...

The "distractions" didn't stop him from posting an offer on LET on Sunday, or from posting in the offer thread Monday and yesterday...no mention of problems with the IPs prior to today. I think he was leasing IPs from Skylar... BoltVM in LA is CC via Quadranet not Quadranet direct, and they're...

borrowed from LET because 30 minutes notice deserves its own thread (moderator dearest: feel free to move this to the tutorials section and change the title to "how not to run a business" or "how to alienate your customers" or "why business customers won't touch your service with a 10 foot pole"...

Network Behavior Analysis?  I try to avoid NBA discussions because they usually turn into a NBA tools vs IDS tools debate. :)

If you do it right you can achieve better reliability by running your own DNS servers than you could with a 3rd party DNS service and you can virtually eliminate DNS downtime...something you can't do if you rely on a single source of failure like Cloudflare which has had a few system-wide...

/etc/postfix,main.cf: Barracuda has caught the highest percentage of SPAM and given the fewest false positives of the three blacklists I use (and if you do a search you'll find others who have had the same experience),  so "stop using Barracuda" isn't really "the best solution" for many of us...
