Bitcoins should by definition attract abusers. We haven't tried it, but I am personally like 99% sure. And yes, another thing is volatility.

If I had to host something on a premium network, I'd pick Softlayer.

Fraudrecord has its quirks, but we still use it to post-verify orders and keep an eye on those customers who has some Fraudrecord history. We also contribute to the database when we catch abusers.

I would not continue doing business with them, but that's me. But... imagine RAID card failing later on when you are in production, would you be willing to wait for weeks for a replacement card?

I agree that vpsboard is remarkably different from other places in a good way, and I hope it stays the same. But getting really good feedback on forums is quite rare, at least that was our experience. Granted, I haven't tried asking for help here, maybe I should give it a try.

From our experience I can tell that the best beta testing you can do is in house by involving your own staff. The issue is two-fold. First of all, no one wants to work for free :) Second issue is more important, usually the kind of "free" feedback you are getting has little to do with actual...

The majority of the e-mail transfers  I see in our logs (server to server) are encrypted.

This way it is too easy to fake an ip by simply injecting an HTTP header. The line "$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];" may not be always executed and as far as I am aware $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is the only "reliable" variable that cannot be tampered with.

I was about to say, dig +trace it the only thing you actually need. Intodns seems to cache certain queries so it is not ideal & can create a lot of head scratching when there is actually no issue at all.

...this is a form of trolling I suppose? :D

To be honest I prefer the current one

Hey, I like 20 byte OS, don't get me wrong

20B eh? How is this possible?

Have you tried nodewatch? Looks like you are running OpenVZ; nodewatch will stop all spammers in like 10 seconds.

... But why? What is the point of a 64mb VPS?

The problem with Toronto seems to be that every place we talked to had ridiculous transit prices (in comparison to USA). It is not like Hong Kong, but pretty close in some cases. I should have probably clarified this... Unfortunately, 151 Front Street is not much better in that regard (also...

We looking for a decent place to colo a few dozen servers in Canada. It kind of sucks being a Canadian provider with multiple racks across the US and EU but zero presence in Canada... Any recommendations?

I automate uploads/syncs with cmd files, but it is still scp (under Win7).

Do not worry about our DNS servers, should we see any considerable load at all, we will upgrade them and/or move this domain to its own NS.

Another way to reduce the amount of network abuse on your OpenVZ VPS nodes (in addition to Nodewatch) is to scan them for recursive DNS resolvers which are often the target for DNS Amplification DoS attacks. This script scans all OpenVZ containers on a node for open DNS resolvers:  ...
