    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    For us at least, I would say... 1. Not abuse at all, fairly common use. 2. Perhaps with some hosts that value low price over quality (rather than a balance as is, I hope, more common). I welcome anyone using 100% of their resources so long as they're actually using them and following the...

    Stallion 2 - pictures and daily updates :)

    Did I read that right? Fireworks all over the US for the release party?

    [EXCLUSIVE] TortoiseLabs - 512MB RAM / 30GB DISK / 1000M UNMETERED - $6.75/month

    Went ahead and grabbed one in Dallas. Looks like Abovenet, HE, and Cogent. Excellent US connections. Could probably use a hand going across the water. I assume there's still some tweaking to be done given that it's a newly offered location. Download speed from CacheFly: 54.1MB/s  Download...

    Vote for your favorite graphics chip manufacturer

    Guess I have to go with ATI purely on the reasoning that I bought this iMac in 2009 for my Final Cut/After Effects machine and I'm still playing brand new games at perfectly reasonable settings. It's a Radeon HD 4850 in it. Nothing fancy, still kicking though.

    Why do hackers think all LEB hosts are ran by 13 year olds?

    Well, to start with the "hackers" in question are 13 years old (or equivalent).

    QuickPacket - Dual Xeon L5420 - 16 GB RAM - 1 TB HD - KVM over IP / IPMI - $49.99 per month

    At the risk of sounding like I'm upsetting you away from Catalyst :P ... The L5420 caves faster than the E5-2620 as a VPS node. As a single purpose node, it's a beastly CPU and it'll put out some serious performance.

    Could not stress enough how much I recommend this.

    Neither do I, but "uses" is the key word there.

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Pretty much this. If everyone legitimately used 100% of their resources tomorrow, we'd be forced to migrate some users to a new node at our expense and compensate for any inconvenience. Every business has a risk factor. We, as hosts, know our job and we know what we've sold. It's economical and...

    [Catalyst Host] 35% off all plans. KVM starting at $6.50/m, OpenVZ @ $5.19/m.

    Hi everyone! It’s time to do what we love: make an offer. Let me just be real with you here for a second. I’m really proud of our KVM line. I love the raw power of our first KVM node. I’ve said it many times before, that I demand each step we take be better than the one before it. We had talked...

    What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

    Ran out of everclear. Vodka is like water. Been a rough week. Let's do this!

    Dual 6 core with HT. I love that CPU.

    I mean as long as it didn't hammer I/O and CPU all the time for no reason I'd say sounds fun!

    How do you take your coffee?

    Lots of cream and lots of sugar. See I've always been told you're not a man unless you drink it black, because you're just diluting the coffee. I disagree though. I think the more junk you fit in that mug the better!

    I'll file that in my list for the next update. I think I'm adding bittorrent soon (will be dated, excluding signups before that date) so that'll be a good time. As for how it would be considered abuse, I think intent is the focus here. I can't prove intent, so I'm not seeking people out and...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    It is though. It is a very bad idea to have policies that are so direct and targeted that they have to be adjusted every time someone finds a new way to abuse something. A good policy outlines an idea or concept and tries to confine it with limitations as best as possible while leaving room for...

    Nothing until you tell me you did. If you tell me that you have reserved 100% of your resources with zero intent to use them I would stand by this policy: "Server Abuse Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server or customer of Catalyst Host is strictly prohibited. As our customer you...
