    Q4 2013 Lowendtalk Top Provider Poll Results

    That is true, there is a lot of abuse from people there. However, they only visit you once if you manage to switch them off fast.  Also manual provisioning helps.  As for chargebacks and fake CCs that is not much of a problem lately, but abusers. I said it there too, hopefully htey...

    Colocation With Dedicated line?

    I believe he was kicked a few times due to DDoSes. If the DC autonulls it and lets him be, then it is ok since he doesnt hinder anyone else.

    Colocation With Dedicated line?

    Voxility does exactly that donno if it is valid in LA too, though. http://www.voxility.com/shop/colocation http://www.voxility.com/info/why/network It might not be so cheap though.

    NTP - the new DDOS amplifier

    Fortunately there are not enough NTP servers out there and such an abuse WILL get noticed since most are run by professionals. There are far fewer than DNSes which are in each crappy hosting panel on the market as well as in many templates.  It will certainly be easier to contain this outbreak.

    ChicagoVPS reaching new levels of desperation

    As I said elsewhere 2014 will be a bad year for many hosts. A lot of bubbles will burst but after this the IPs will make enough of a profit to sustain many spammers hosts, probably starting in 2015, IF things continue to go like this and there wont be any release from the locked /8s.  I...

    GreenValueHost outsources customer support to India.

    There is nothing wrong with overselling, as long as nobody is kicked for using the resources advertised and nobody suffers because cant use the resources advertised. As for the racism involved, it is borderline racist to say that you only employ US staffers, it implies other countries have less...

    What skills do you look for in your employees?

    Sorry about no-edit, but i just remembered a joke which could have been inspired from a real event: At IBM one guy seriously screws up and loses 10 mil for the company. He is called to the boss and he listens what the boss had to say, then offers his resignation which he had ready. What ...

    What skills do you look for in your employees?

    As Karl Marx said people are the most important capital (something along that line). In romanian we have an old saying, the man sanctifies the place. (Omul sfinteste locul) If you have good people it is almost impossible to fail, they will figure out how to solve the most difficult problems...

    Yeah, I asked him how he does it, but i guess only some people can manage such things. The new sultan of hosting is here. All bow to Oktay-khan !

    Circuit Court Of Appeals Strikes Down FCC’s Open Internet Order

    This is the world today, small business are punished by bigger taxes and tight control while the big ones benefit from those taxes paid by the small ones and friendly judges/lawmakers. It is inevitable, the people with the money run the country, not only the press and elections. As long as you...

    Virtual6.net Ceases Operations for unforeseen reasons :)

    "Stabilizing" any price is still a cartel business. If the price is too low you get out of the market and it stabilizes itself. As for the people trying to revive dead companies that is a lot of work, good luck to them. While chinese currency is artificially devalued, this does not mean 0.5$...

    Virtual6.net Ceases Operations for unforeseen reasons :)

    When providers cooperate this smells like a cartel. It looks like CC kind of stuff I buy your brand, you work for me, we pass customers from one site to another but in the backend we use the same old servers. I hope you do not mean that. I am all for healthy competition, without threats and...

    Virtual6.net Ceases Operations for unforeseen reasons :)

    Sorry about no-edit, etc. If they did, it might be a time-bomb. In EU the press is not so gagged like in US, they are not afraid of picking on the government and if found out the aunt of Oles was friends with some minister, then it will blow out and the investigations will run around the clock...

    Virtual6.net Ceases Operations for unforeseen reasons :)

    Right, this is what i mean, the current staff will have no interest to continue or will have other grievances with the 'partners' and it will go south fast. UGVPS was just an example on the extreme side but many other smaller problems can make these things die.

    Virtual6.net Ceases Operations for unforeseen reasons :)

    Nah, nobody will buy crap and these things usually dont go well, sooner or later the "partners" will have a quarrel and it will be public. If they can work things out, ok, but these will be rare occurences, the customers would be lucky. The problem is not only for LE market, but it starts here...

    Virtual6.net Ceases Operations for unforeseen reasons :)

    Yes, I predicted them for an year or more, pump and dump schemes no longer work, even straight out scams have a hard time, this is due to a combination of factors. 2014 will be another hard year.

    Update (sorry, cannot edit as you know): We will be adding another range when it will be possible and needed so DDoS protected services will not be the default because this cna create problems later on in march when those will be charged. The income (download) stream is over seflow, outgoing...
