    123Systems sold again?

    123systems was never a registered company so there would have been a SSN not EIN associated with any of its financial accounts so how is it possible to use the same account? My guess is what comes next is that they get audited and pay some hefty fines as well as back taxes for not collecting...

    123Systems sold again?

    The 8.75% sales tax rate shown for NY residents is the rate for Erie county so it's definitely owned by someone in the Buffalo area now (note: whoever is operating the site should fix the shopping cart on the site.  It shows the correct sales tax rate when a NY billing address is given but the...

    123Systems sold again?

    He was speaking as a representative of New Wave NetConnect LLC (NWNX) when he posted that on LET and his exact words were "ChicagoVPS no longer owns 123systems".  TheWHOIS info would seem to back up the claim that NWNX (d/b/a CVPS) no longer owns 123 systems because it currently shows "Chris...

    How to stop webhost frome entering vps without permission?

    I'm assuming that providers who don't understand why some customers (e.g. a business customer) don't want the provider to access their data probably have a customer base that is primarily comprised of hobbyists, illegal torrenters, VPN users, skids,  and other low paying customers (and I'm also...

    How to stop webhost frome entering vps without permission?

    If you're using the VPS/cloud server to host important business data and are really concerned about privacy then look for a host whose business has been audited for security practices and passed with flying colors (i.e.SSAE 16 certification in the US-example Atlantic.net and FireHost, ISO27001...

    List of providers who offer DDoS protection.

    99.9% of them are probably in school right now and the other 0.1% will probably deadpool before I finish typing this post :P Since you mentioned OVH, Ginernet (a former OVH employee) uses OVH for filtering (via a GRE tunnel) of their VPS services in Spain.  Pricing is 3 € per IP...

    CloudVPS Acquired by IT-Ernity

    The only similarity between IT-Ernity and EIG is they're both holding companies that acquire hosting/Internet related providers.  Service quality tends to stay the same or improve after IT-Ernity acquires a company and the staff of acquired companies usually keep their jobs. If you want the...

    Observium Issues

    Did you try it with a fresh database too?  You could have a crashed or corrupted database table if the new install (with I'm assuming the old DB) produced the same error.  Probably not a PHP error if the same error happened on the new install.

    How to test quality of server internet connection?

    It's in Lenoir so I'm not surprised there is packet loss and 710ms pings to CZ. :P There is also minor packet loss on incoming connections to that server from both Nuremberg, Hetzner DC1) and Paris (online.net) when it hits the server (about 1.5%-2.5% loss). tl;dr contact the provider, the...

    EIG acquires Arvixe, LLC Assets

    The Alexa top 1M probably doesn't paint an accurate picture of the size (number of websites hosted, customer base) because the top 1 million represent just a tiny fraction of the total number of websites, and the percentage of websites in the top 1 million who use overloaded "unlimited" shared...
