    So, let's clear the air...

    Well, they could always take a cue from the  30-something lifelong losers of the hosting world  (i.e. the nobodies in the scheme of bigger things who can't hold a job and have to publicly beg to put food on the table for their families like a homeless drunken bum on skid row) and start a...

    Help with nginx template syntax :(

    I use plugins like 'bruteprotect' and 'disable xml-rpc pingback' instead of trying to do it in a nginx location block... I'd add a new location block for the xmlrpc.php block.  If your server is constantly crashing try disabling access and error logging inside the 2 location blocks to reduce...

    So, let's clear the air...

    technical correction: GVH is a corporation not an LLC thought #1: $7K debt indicates there obviously wasn't much of a business to begin with if a small amount like $7K in overdue bills put it in danger of collapse.  To put that $7K in perspective, the average US college graduate has over $30K...

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    Well, let's see, a review of XFuse Solutions LLC's ability to bring in money over the years raises the question of how in the hell Xfuse suddenly has the resources to rescue heavily indebted companies like GVH mid-2013: Twitter: Xfuse owner posts on his Twitter page that he doesn't have any...

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    VPSBoard: LET: So in the space of the few hours between those posts the story has changed from "I'm letting him sell VPS because Jonny owes me a lot of money" to "I'm letting him sell VPS because he owes CC and HVH a lot of money" Which is it?  He owes you or he owes CC? If he is buying...

    Poll: Importance of Control Panels

    Clarification on importance of control panels for what: dedicated, VPS, shared? Dedicated: my needs are simple but if they're not met it increases the likelihood I'll choose a competitor: remote reboot is a must, automated rDNS and remote OS installs, vKVM/some type of console,  aren't 100%...

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

     Fact is, less than 24 hours before this latest GVH press release that had both your name and Jonny's name on it,  you had assured everyone that Jonny wouldn't be selling VPS's. Fact is, businesses that survive for the long term don't change their plans on a daily basis,and instead they engage...

    Hostigation offering 10% account credit for Bitcoin payments!

    ^^ the retroactive credit for customers who paid over the past year was a very nice gesture, not many companies would have done that

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    The specifics are both Dujke and Jonny are bullshit artists extraordinare and less than 24 hours after Duke made that statement a press release was issued announcing GreenValueHost Inc is back in the VPS business.   The only question is who actually controls GVH now: my bets are that CC acquired...

    RDNS Requests

    I think the deluge of rDNS requests started around 1996 (long before the low end market existed) when RFC1912/2.1 was first published (the section  that starts with "Every Internet-reachable host should have a name....") :)  If you have an IP connected to the Internet then basic Internet...

    Am I asking for trouble using consumer SSDs in a server?

    You're asking for (eventual) trouble using any drive in any computer.  A few decades of experience has put me in the camp that believes the whole "enterprise" vs "consumer" debate is largely a marketing gimmick so manufacturers can make a few extra bucks, and paying extra for "enterprise"...

    Why Don't Providers Do This One Simple Thing ... To Make More Money?

    Bank transfers only, no credit or debit cards, when adding funds to your PayPal account. Skrill however does allow funding of Skrill balances with credit cards (the card used must be in your name).

    SolusVM 2

    So this is the 2nd beta since they announced this project 7(?) years ago? It's good that they're thoroughly testing this product before releasing a production version.  Can't wait for the first production version of SolusVM! edited to add purple

    SSD Hard Drives Going Read Only

    Both drives have been replaced with brand new drives: drive sdb was defective, and the firmware on both drives would have needed to be upgraded because the older firmware on those Crucial's was buggy so replacement of both drives was faster. Support at this provider is actually excellent (i.e...

    SSD Hard Drives Going Read Only

    short version: ordered a server (used) on Monday and drives are going read-only after a few hours of uptime.  Rebooting solves the read-only problem (until it happens again a few hours only). my diagnosis: it's probably either a drive hardware problem or a faulty cable, but outdated drive...

    Why Don't Providers Do This One Simple Thing ... To Make More Money?

    The providers who do encourage it (encourage = offering incentives like deposit $50 receive $25 extra) are usually doing so out of desperation to cover short term cash flow needs. See my last statement. I've seen some definite odd correlations between pre-finding incentives and abuse by...

    Special offer from XFuse Solutions -_-"

    From LowEndBox...  http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/49689/gvh-xfuse-email-spam#latest Actually, it seems like just XFuse (not Jonny GVH) is clueless about the CAN-SPAM act and is resorting to spamming people who have never been customers, and failing to provide a working opt-out link as...
