Hostress Question: When Hostress relaunched last month its ads featured "the return of (ex CC/CVPS employee) Shinkle".  Rumor has it (and his LinkedIn profile confirms it) he got a job at Cox Communications in May, so is he still involved in Hostress? GVH profitability: I remember a near death...

The big question for providers, which is unanswered by just looking at the prices on the WHT ad rates sheet, is how the ROI for WHT advertising spending compares to the ROI for alternatives like Google Adwords (which has been decreasing for years for advertisers in every category), Facebook...

Fab's must be reading here,  the BlueVM.com WHOIS was updated the day after it was mentioned here.

Humor: Jon Biloh of Velocity Servers Inc posted he thinks ICANN's proposed changes regarding commercial entities are a good thing  Biloh's company Velocity Servers uses WHOIS privacy to hide the ownership info of its commercial websites: HudsonValleyHost.com, LowEndTalk.com, LowEndBox.com...

Yes, under these proposed rules a provider would be required to disclose your domain's ownership info if they received a DMCA complaint. MarkMonitor  (owned by media/news giant Thomson Reuters) is one of the main companies pushing ICANN to implement these changes.

ICANN has proposed several changes to the use of WHOIS privacy on domain registrations.  Proposals include limiting the use of private WHOIS to non-commercial entities only (something which I have long advocated for because there is no legitimate reason why a business needs to hide its...

Just to add to that: the LLC was dissolved on May 19, 2015 so the terms of service and any contracts that have been entered into after that date are null and void since the other party stated on the terms of service contract didn't exist at the time the contracts were entered into. Its a...

The domain WHOIS hasn't even been changed yet and the website (and the terms of service) still says "BlueVM Communications LLC" (a company that was dissolved by the Colorado SOS and no longer exists).  LowEndProfessionalism at its best...

Fixed that for you by adding an extra 0 for accuracy because he said the provider was CVPS. :)

Duke's version (page 5 of this thread) puts the current inherited debt for that account around $3K If the remaining debt on that account really is only $3K and he had to "consult with Biloh and Ernie" about the acquisition (rather than just writing a check for the $3K and paying the debt off...

Quotes from Duke Xfuse about  CC's involvement in the sale to Hostress @raindog308 said Probably the biggest news about the domains is that the ownership info hasn't been changed and Jonny and Lance are still listed as the owners, and their email addresses are still listed as the contacts.  I...

You get the same ol same old because those two are reasonably priced compared to Linode which charges an extra $100 month on top of its usual rates for managed services.  Other options: ServInt (disclosure: I had dedicated servers with them for 6 years but I haven't used them since 2004 so I...

Actually, I think both him and Thomas are clowns and should apply for jobs at Ringling Brothers.  Duke/XFuse Solutions supposedly took ownership of the domain greenvaluehost.com earlier this week and then sold it to Hostress a few days later but the WHOIS doesn't reflect that.  The nameservers...

Good point, so  I'll just give a quick TL;DR of the  important points of the Hostress acquisition of GVH's remains so everyone can focus their energies elsewhere:  1. UGVPS, DigTheMine, Hostress v1 (the one that deadpooled without notice to customers last fall)...a trio of failures and screwed...

@JonBiloh we need your help,  another one of your "CEO" projects who isn't old enough to buy a drink is having problems with his hosting business...

The life long fuckups in the three companies involved in these asset shifting games are not representative of the entire webhosting industry, and neither is the average "business" operating from its parent's basement which rents a cheap server and posts a few ad on LEB/LET before calling it a...

The U.S. FTC has been known to take action against companies that don't honor the terms of their posted website privacy policies, but since the privacy policies of both GreenKiddieHost and its successor TackyTrailerTrashVPS read like they were written by 10 year old migration specialists there...
