See the key there is the word "use." To me, artificially ramping up to 100% of your allotment with intent to remain there purely to impact my system administration is not actual use.

It's not, but consider this. 1. People want low prices. 2. People don't use what they buy. This enables an option in which a host can do three things: 1. Cause less unnecessary usage of real resources like power. 2. Provide low prices. 3. Get better use out of existing equipment. This has...

I can honestly say it'd cut down on promos that we would do if people used what they're allotted. Which is totally fine. I'd just much prefer them to benefit from the resources rather than just trying to cause problems.

I oversell disk space on OpenVZ. Sorry but 30% average usage is a waste. Prices are brought down by this and everyone wins. I don't have a problem with people using what they buy and I'm happy to roll out the red carpet for anyone who finds a way to legitimately hit a wall prior to capping the...

I think the single core 3Ghz is the deal breaker but hope someone proves me wrong. Otherwise, hit up quickpacket and see what they've got in stock.

May be requesting a location swap for that Dallas goodness. Keep up the good work!

Good info. I won't pretend much knowledge of Xen operations. Truth be told I think this might be my first Xen VPS...

Impressed so far. A note about the bench.sh run below, disk IO is less than the LEB/LET crowd prefers to see on OpenVZ but this is Xen and they claim a far lower capacity than a lot of the people here might be used to seeing. I'm a fan. Network is very nice. CPU model : Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1270...

I've got 4 RE4's of the same size, speed, and interface on that very same controller and using the test you suggested I get this: 4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 31.474 s, 136 MB/s A more common test used among this crowd is: dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync To which...

That's terrible. I second that these organizations need to be given less power or they need to be more transparent in providing details for their actions. It's them who decided this was the service they want to provide, and it's the ISPs who decide if they're worth giving power to. Perhaps it's...

I mean, if I had 2 IPs and 1 had malware I'd be #1 on that list ;) Still a lot though you're right. I wish it gave more detail.

Looks like a lot of people have cleaning to do. I wouldn't say Incero is worth highlighting though. High on the list because it's sorted by percentage but the number of scanned sites is fairly low. Although I'm certain Gordon won't be terribly pleased by the result regardless ;)

Children.

Last server I had with them was "100mbit unmetered" aka 1Gbps unmetered so long as usage wasn't deal breaking. An unspoken arrangement I gathered.

So tempting. Could pull off what I'm doing in Atlanta and save $20/m.... But I must resist.

Thanks for sharing. Been a bit too busy lately to catch news that doesn't present itself to me as I'm going about other business. This certainly is an interesting scenario.

I think a person should be compensated for their time and work.

Great review. Gonna take me a while to get over the name...

Meh, his lawyers can stick up for him just fine :)

Correct me if I'm focusing on the wrong detail but did you sign up here to defend Robert Clarke? I know you signed up a while ago but 100% of your posts go to...
