    PayPal USA Policy Changes Announced 4/30: Intangible Items Covered Starting 7/1

    If there are no legitimate grounds for a refund (i.e. service not delivered, or item "significantly not as described") and the provider's TOS details their (no)refund policy, then my guess is PayPal will side with the merchant on a "non delivery" complaint as long as the merchant can prove the...

    MegaWorldHosting releases new design

    PayPal (USA) announced some changes to its buyer protection policy on April 30th.  The policy changes will be effective beginning July 1st. Many changes announced but the change that will hit many VPS board users is that buyer protection will now be extended to intangible items like digital...

    Looking for VPS in privacy oriented country.

    The Barbados Electronic Transactions Act protects data related to the "private affairs" of a person or business but I doubt that very many of the activities people typically use VPNs for would be protected by the ETA law. Barbados has a proposed Data Protection act which is in the draft stage...

    What is the biggest mistake that you have seen a web host make?

    The segment of the hosting industry that relies on hosting forums is full of many very inexperienced business owners, and hosting forums often have the negative effect of reinforcing bad practices that will prevent these clowns these startups from ever becoming businesses that will generate...

    Baltimore Burns.

    In answer to mitgib's question: historically, rioting by "the unheard" seems like a mild reaction in retrospect after their anger progresses to the next level and Marie Antoinette losing her head. In Baltimore, the situation (community anger over police brutality) didn't start with this latest...

    mtwiscool's nonsense finally implodes

    The interesting thing about this deal is that the person who posted this announcement on LET (TinyTunnel Tom) is one of SEO God MSP-Nick My Server Planet Ltd's "employees" and he is in fact the same 14 year old who was implicated in the hacking and posting of BudgetGeek's database in February...

    Cloudways, Have you tried it? Opinions?

    If you order direct from DigitalOcean you'll have root access and you might break something so it's better to order from Cloudways so you'll have no root access and limited control over your server. https://support.cloudways.com/entries/99127403-Why-can-t-I-have-root-access-to-my-server- TL;DR...
