    Server Management vs In House?

    Low?  That's illegal in quite a few states in the US  :D But isn't your math:  4 people per hour, 168 hours per week, 4.3 weeks per month, $8/hour = 4 * 168 * 4.3 *8 = $23,116.80 per month?  Of course, in reality isn't much higher because of FICA, payroll taxes, etc. Even if it's only one...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    Yes!  It is difficult!  That is the point. If you cannot answer the question "why would a potential customer pick me over another host" you will fail.  Consider: There are already thousands of hosts. There are hundreds in each price range I can think of at least a half-dozen that I personally...

    I'm sure vpsboard is your #1 haunt...but when you're not obsessively reloading vpsboard, what else do you read?

    HudsonValleyHost Spamming the Helpdesk

    Like this is the only place. Yes, CC is hated here. CC is also hated on WHT, where they're banned. CC is also hated even on their own forum, LET. Where isn't CC hated?

    HudsonValleyHost Spamming the Helpdesk

    No, there's no altruism - he's proud to be a jerk and will tell you so. "We're IPv4 hoarders who find any way possible to sell IPs in both cheap and bulk, with little to no justification as possible. We follow bare minimum ARIN/RIPE regulations to pass the radar. " So he know what he's doing...

    HudsonValleyHost Spamming the Helpdesk

    "We also offer great IP pricing." This seems to be the current thing among CC shell companies.  See also this from GVH: http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/27682/gvh-spamming-me-like-no-tomorrow/p1 "We are delighted to announce that we have acquired access to legacy RIPE and IANA IPv4 address...

    Boost MySQL efficiency by adding an index.

    The hard part is usually figuring out where to add indexes  :D And of course, every index you add is a tradeoff: faster SELECT speed, slower INSERT/UPDATE speed (because each additional index has to be maintained).

    Tree.io Alternatives

    This seems to be a popular topic.  Usually mentioned are Trello and Asana (I like this one). Really depends what you mean by project management - to different people that phrase means assigning software tasks, shared calendars, group todo lists, shared files, gantt charts, etc.

    Pono Music - High fidelity audio porn player for music lovers

    Self-respecting ones?   :P I could go through life quite happily without hearing "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World", "This Note's For You", "Heart of Gold", "I've been through the desert on a horse with no name", again etc.  Whiny off-key harmonica folk rock horrors every one. I know, I know...

    It looks I need Your help guys

    But BuyVM is an established provider with an excellent reputation, many reviews, etc. Even then, BuyVM's site isn't bad.  It actually has a lot of info - much more than the OP's.  And the info:sales puffery ration is about 1:100 with the OP's site and about 100:1 with  BuyVM's. BuyVM's site is...

    VPS failover?

    So for years I told people this - that many DNS servers won't honor a TTL less than 1 hour.  And that round robin DNS wasn't the answer because the client could go back to the same failed IP. However, I'm told that recent web browsers have round robin DNS "smarts": - let's say they look up...

    Is that the 2014 version of the BLINK tag?   ;) Besides the site design, I think this is the question you need to answer: Not just Linode but many others.  What makes you different? Also, if you're not an English speaker... VPS24.NET is build on the experience and knowledge of the lead...
