SSDs are more prone to bit-flip errors in a radiation filled environment. All computer parts must be insulated from radiations in space, otherwise the solar wind will damage them even in normal conditions, not to mention storms.

I recommend CloudStack we tried both and this one came as a winner due to being more compact and integrated.  As for VLANs accross DCs, that will be a tough one, but you can always bridge some interfaces with a GRE tunnel to do it yourself, but this is not something just any VM can do. If you...

As I said, this year many people will be surprised...

It was a general idea, there were people saying it should run dd to null and things like those. I do use a few iSCSI targets mounted in various places, so I know what you mean, however, doing dd is a clear waste. As for the impossibility of it, I do see people doing 100 k packets and 800 mbps...

As much as I like this contest, I am strongly against wasting anything.  Someone will pay for that, if "only" the environment or poor people in sweatshops. How the bill is switched to others is not relevant, but please, do not waste anything just for fun or even for a prize. If the plan is...

Amen to that. However, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. That alone is not enough, you need someone to constantly remind you what you want to do and show that current actions do not work towards that goal when that happens (it will, we are all human). It is then very important to...

Hello ! Daniela was more involved in the past in the billing and financial part. When I came onboard, I took over part of her role and Salvatore some other part. However, the taxes and banking are handled by her still just not the everyday interface with customers. My own company is not in my...

They dont care, their brands wont make top ten anyway.

We considered it before going through the roof. We are powering a couple of exchanges on the other part of the business and Salvatore knows a guy which was mining them for years with speacial rigs and has millions in them at current value. It does not look so shady from this point of view...

RU sure ?

That wont fly very high in our case. Prometeus di Daniela Agro and Iperweb LTD are more than being owned by the same person they buy/sell to each other, hvae same support and share same servers. One is Italian, the other registered in UK and Iperweb LLC is registered in US, but they all...

I am not sure it is positive or negative, just that I dont see any future problems with Oktay. The Sultan of Hosting manages many brands already, one more wont be felt.

Neah, DNS ampliffication attacks were 300 gbps and NTP "benefits" from having many servers publicly listed while the open  resolvers in every crappy hosting panel out there are hard to come by without scans. It is also easy to solve, the NTP servers have listed contact addresses in many cases...

The buyout of "hosts" in this market will not work. I mean there can be exceptions but when the host has mostly hoppers for the lowest price of a new IP, then it will definitely not work.  There is an IP infusion now as people race to get as much as possible from last /8 before the restrictions...

Yes, I am sure also that some had no right to vote or were simply accounts of a provider this is why it takes some time to check everyone. Also waiting for the offers to be sent. I was merely pointing out it is not this simple but it is likely the final count will not be very different.

I am not sure, but Liam started it, I would say an year or so. TBH, it gives more flexibility and is adapted to the place. Many people there (most ?) have VPSes from 3+ providers and it is fair to give them more chances to rank those. It also gives a chance for the new/smaller hosts to get...

I am not sure what you mean @drmike. If you say that before people were given fewer points you are wrong. It is now that the points are less. The 1st ranked in the vote would get 3 points, the second 2 and the third 1, total of 6 points per voter. Now they are given 5 points per voter but...

Actually, it involves a bit more than that.  Admins are able to see who voted and didnt have the right, who used more accounts and things like those. It is unlikely the results will be exactly the same but similar, nevertheless.

Math is in shor supply here. Before there were 6 points per voter now are 5, how would that inflate the number of points ?  Was 3 for 1st, 2 for 2nd and 1 for third, total 6, now are 5 in total, but you can split in 5. I like new version better, it gives more choice. HM were not so used now.

Umm what ?  5 points in total, they can give all to one provider, but unlike here, not everyone is so bent on one pet provider only. Many split it in 5.
