    RocketVPS migration from Reston, VA to Baltimore, MD

    I thought this had happened ages ago, but I just realized it's the RocketVPS brand.  From what I was told the KH move went pretty flawlessly.  That's what happens when you aren't being evicted and run out of your datacenter.  You have time to plan for these things. :D

    GreenValueHost forced password reset - Security breach?

    Well on the plus side, it's not a school night, so hopefully no homework to do, and maybe the parents will extend their bedtime slightly.  :lol:

    The gun thread

    Even more of a reason to get one.  Carry my Glock 21SF and would trust my life with it.  It just plain works...every single time I use it.

    CoreXchange Sold Yesterday to Zayo / AboveNet / zColo - Today Incero Hikes Prices

    We are looking at a pretty decent increase from this.  What bothers me most, is that there were 3 free things being offered by Incero to "make up" for the increase. 1)  2TB drive on one server 2)  Free NAS space 3)  Free upgrade to 30TB of bandwidth Unfortunately, all our servers are full...

    Incero to get IPv6?

    Thanks for the order by the way, D. Strout! The IPv6 is available in theory.  We have our ranges for each server, but have tickets waiting (for several days) to add the ranges to the routers, etc.  I can only assume they are completely overwhelmed support-wise with the IPv6 orders.  I can't...

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    My "limited perspective" has consisted of a MBA, a law degree (specializing in business law), owning multi-million dollar businesses for over 20 years, from restaurants to fast food franchises, Southern California's largest electrical services contractor, to hosting.  I've been around the block...

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    Thanks for the kind words!  Good morning to you too!  Apparently! Aldryic, you've clearly never run an actual brick and mortar business before.  If you have, try telling people coming in the door that they have to go to PayPal or SimplePay to pay you for your services.  Like I said, they'd...

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    That's certainly the impression it gives a lot of people...trust me.  Again, you're dealing I'm guessing with mostly low-end folk and folks buying services for their personal sites, who are used to buying things online with PayPal...they probably don't care.  I have dealt largely with local...

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    My bank definitely cares about my money.  Between the business account and my personal accounts, there is a good chunk of change in there.  They treat me like royalty.  Nope, no charges or anything like that, and credit fallout?  They just shut the charges down before they are even processed.  ...

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    Imagine going to McDonalds or something, buying a couple hamburgers and seeing PayPal on your credit card statement instead of McDonalds.  Sorry, but it just has unprofessional written all over it.  You have a "company" who can't or won't get their own merchant account? Please note the...

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    Well again, it works the other way too.  I don't trust PayPal to actually fight for me if soemthing goes wrong on the buying end either, simply because they don't care.  If something goes wrong with my credit/debit cards, my bank/credit card company is going to fight for me to get that money...

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    You can disagree all you like, but I'm right.  Do you know how unprofessional it is when somebody wants to pay with a credit card and it goes through PayPal?  Certainly makes me question the business.  I have almost completely stopped doing business with "companies" that only accept PayPal.  The...

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    PayPal is the obvious exception.  Even some brick and mortar businesses (Home Depot, for example) accept PayPal.  But they don't use it as their MAIN payment processor.  They use their bank.  There is no reason any legitimate company (even online webhost) should ever use PayPal or Stripe or...

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    Our processing gateway is included with the monthly fee we pay our bank, so we aren't charged separately for anything else (except American Express...those a-holes always manage to charge us extra).  But even if there was some double-dipping, that's the cost of doing business.  It's great to be...

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    Not really sure why anybody would use Stripe.  Well I do know...because it's cheap. :)  PayPal is a different story, but no reason to use Stripe.  Do yourself a huge favor and get yourself a real merchant account with a real bank (preferably yours).  Yep, it is going to be slightly more...

    AlbertHost for sale?

    You're tired.  Looks like he has 1 client.  The other was terminated for spamming.  LOL!!

    How do you like your steak cooked?

    In any good steakhouse, I can order medium plus.  It's not overdone, but doesn't have any blood.  Everywhere else is medium well, or I get a huge piece of uncooked steak and blod.

    GreenValueHost tells their non high paying clients to GTFO

    You didn't get a debit card with your corporate bank account?  Do you actually have a corporate account?

    need help reliablesite.net didicated to install as solusvm node

    I honestly don't think it's Reliablesite's problem.  Tons of people use them for VPS nodes without any difficulty.  Sounds like the OP just doesn't know what he's doing.
