    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    The entire world I want to deal with does.  I can count on one hand (and likely have a finger or two left over) the number of times I've purchased something from a non-US company, and all have accepted credit cards.  If a company only accepts PayPal or such, I have no desire doing business with...

    Colocrossing Attacking StopForumSpam

    This is nothing new.  Might just be one hell of a coincidence, but any time I'd say anything bad about GVH or ColoCrossing over on WHT, I'd spend the next few days being DDoSed.  Didn't do anything, but I always thought it was funny.

    Site5 and Verio accquired by EIG

    They never keep the same employees.  They only keep them temporarily (1-2 years at most) and then they're replaced with the outsourced EIG support.  You can see this with every single other acquisition EIG has done.  Nobody will notice any changes for a while, and everything will be as normal...

    Backups Marketed but not Upheld, who's the fault for the lack of backup? Provider vs Customer

    This!  By the time most clients find out they need a backup, their corrupted data has already been copied over to the backup.  Sometimes we have to go back a week or so to try to find them a suitable backup, and sometimes even that has already been corrupted.  This is especially true with VPS. ...

    Where exactly did Jonny come from?

    Well...not quite.  I was interested in the thread, thus was here reading it, and thought I would respond.  Why would I ignore a thread that I was interested in?  I think you missed my point entirely.

    Where exactly did Jonny come from?

    I'm not saying you shouldn't complain.  By all means, complain away.  Just saying how I personally treat threads in forums that I frequent, that I don't care to read.  It's like the ads section here.  I don't use it.  I rarely read it, unless something there catches my eye.  But I'm not going...

    Where exactly did Jonny come from?

    Perhaps I'm old-school and don't use these newfangled "new post" buttons, but when I see a thread with a title that doesn't interest me, or I don't want to read, I simply ignore it and move on to threads that actually interest me.  Is it really that hard to simply ignore threads like this if you...

    Help with this please(nameservers)

    The host gave you nameservers to use out of convenience for YOU.  Some people don't want to go through the trouble of setting up their own DNS on their VPS, so they give some for your use.  No different than using your domain registrar's DNS (if they provide it).  You aren't required to use...

    SMTP data timeout (message abandoned)

    Anybody ever encounter the dreaded "SMTP data timeout (message abandoned)" error?  It's happening on a CentOS 6 server with cPanel, and I can't figure it out for the life of me.  I had the cPanel support folks have a looksie around for good measure and they said everything looks great. There...

    Windows VPS : 1-2GB of RAM or so

    Loading fine for me now too.  You realize my original post was made 9 DAYS AGO right?  Their home page was loading and that was it.  Clicking on other stuff on their site and it just timed out.  Wouldn't shock me in the slightest that 9 days later it's actually loading. Actually 19.5.  Looks...

    Windows VPS : 1-2GB of RAM or so

    Doesn't matter how many nodes.  You're making ~$110 in revenue per node before any licensing fees, PayPal/Credit Card fees, support costs, etc.  You could have 10,000 nodes.  You're still only making $110 in gross revenue per node.  E3-1270v3 with 32GB of RAM and RAID10 for less than that?  You...

    Windows VPS : 1-2GB of RAM or so

    As tempting an offer as this may be, a lot of things just don't add up.  Firstly, unless you're planning on overselling the hell out of the server, you can put a max of 8 people on the 4GB plans (not including server overhead, of course, but I want to make the math simple).  8 x 13.99 =...

    WebHostingTalk Worst of the Hosting Industry

    I realize they can do whatever they want with the badges and call them whatever they like.  The problem is that they are incredibly misleading.  A "Corporate Member" should be a legitimate corporation, or business, just like the "Verified Provider" status is here...especially when those folks...

    Windows VPS : 1-2GB of RAM or so

    Sweet!  You might also want to remove the OpenVZ references on the Windows VPS page (I know you just redesigned your site). Are the Window VPS all SATA, or do you have any SSD on the KVM/Windows boxes?

    Wable Terms of Service

    That's because they own property (datacenters/servers) in the EU.  That's a completely different story, and yes, they are absolutely bound by certain EU regulation.  An EU company with property in the US, for example, would be subject to the same restrictions, where they would need to abide by...

    Wable Terms of Service

    Correct.  Like I said, I could care less about other countries.  I'm not under their jurisdiction and don't really give two shits about how they run their countries or courts.  I can't speak for Incero, but if I were them, I wouldn't care about the other countries either.  Their contract is...

    Wable Terms of Service

    I don't disagree, but you have to remember that credit card companies are not the courts.  It's no different than auto insurance companies siding with their own clients after an accident.  That's why you always litigate.  In fact, you can actually take someone to court, and very likely recover...

    Jonny Nguyen - GreenValueHost - Raided by Police.

    Not going to happen, unfortunately.  I've asked the moderators many times to refer the situation to the owners (Penton) and they basically just blow me off.  I got an infraction in fact, because they claim I was off-topic.  The mods just got pissed off because I called them out, it what it was. ...
