    If you thought OVH support was bad before...

    http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2014/04/10/french-tech-workers-no-e-mails-after-6/?cmpid=edpick&google_editors_picks=true :lol: Joking of course...I'm sure that off-hours (or heck, on-hours) they send tickets to the third world.

    Linode switches to hourly billing with monthly caps...

    Not really all that surprised - really all one needs to enable hourly billing is a control panel (for both billing and VPS control) that supports it.  Linode's control panels have always been custom.

    OpenBSD & OpenSSH need your help

    You can see Theo's basement crappile here starting at 0:22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlgdvSNpi60 I'm confused about where all this $150K/month electricity bill gear is - certainly not Theo's basement, as he says his bill is $600/month. If you look at their hardware wants list...

    BuyVM.NET / BuyShared.NET - Shared - $5/year | Resellers - $2.00/month! Dedicated IPv4! SSD RAID!

    Yeah, there aren't too many people doing non-cpanel (or non-other-panel) shared hosting, though it would be possible. Back in the early 90s - remember those www.example.com/~myname URLs? :-) - people did, but it soon got tricky as people wanted to create MySQL databases (needed MySQL root), add...

    How would you organize dozens/hundreds of vids on a page?

    I have a web site with tutorials for customers.  The videos themselves are on YouTube and I do the usual iframe embed. I'm struggling with the best way to organize the videos on the page.  If I just put them one after another, the page is very long.  Say, 100 videos at 360px high = 36000 px...

    Burstnet Technologies Inc. aka Burstnet lies, rips off landlord, refused to move out of Dunmore Data

    I don't know if Burst's financials are quite that exotic.  A lot of big companies factor their receivables - sell them for XX% to a third party.  Seller gets ready cash now, third party makes money on the discount.  Extremely common, particularly in inventory-heavy businesses like retail.  The...

    WHT Gold? OMG...

    WHT's April Fool's jokes are actually funny. Most of the April Fool's stuff on the net is downright stupid.

    ARIN Stock Changes Feb 2014 - Down to 1.38

    I remain skeptical because I can still get ipv4 addresses all day for $1/mo or less This price has not risen in years Tons of big blocks still floating around out there waiting for renumbering/release. What I expect to happen is that price will rise, big company X will decide it's worth the...

    Game Hosting?

    Usually it costs more.  From what I've seen, people pay premium prices for game servers. Latency and DDOS protection are important considerations.  Some lowend providers also provide/allow game servers, but it's not the same quality of offering. Not everyone in the world is chasing the lowend...

    What cool and useful things would you do with your Windows VPS?

    The industry needs more customers like you. :-). "ok, I'll buy it buy I have no idea what I'll do with it."

    DD Script

    Interesting...though I've see good ioping times from good hosts and bad ioping times from bad hosts (where good/bad means "non/oversubscribed IO"). I never was much for benchmarks in the absolute sense, though.  If I'm solving a problem, having a before/after change benchmark is invaluable, but...

    DD Script

    I think it's worse than that, actually. It's also lame. I mean, what is this other than dd if=/something of=/something bs=something >> data.txt ?  "built a bash + crontab script" ?  Really?  It's not like you're even parsing the data and putting it in MySQL, producing graphs, etc.  What...

    Tranquil Hosting launches RockVPS

    To be fair, I've heard Solid State Disk and Solid State Drive.  Wikipedia notes this.
