    Kimsufi Decides Maybe Forums Aren't The Best Place For Billing Support

    ...and that boys and girls is why my company (and many other businesses) willingly pay them for a VIP support contract with a <15 minute response time vs their standard "some day".  I call it insurance (and  the 49 euros monthly fee is per account not per server/service so it doesn't add that...

    i7 12/24 Core Server? Godaddy

     the "I" could be a typo and they might be using something like an E7-2850v2.  They do have the volume to get a very hefty discount on processors.

    Kimsufi Decides Maybe Forums Aren't The Best Place For Billing Support

    OVH's Kimsufi is scrapping its 1 year old "forum only support" and Kimsufi users will now be able to enjoy the same quality support as other OVH users.  Hardware support and commercial support (billing, order questions) will now be handled by email, Mon-Fri during office hours.  Support for...

    Q3 2014 Lowend Provider Results

    I'd agree.  IWStack, XenPower, OverZold have mini marketing sites but that's about as far as it goes.  When you buy one of those products you're a Prometeus customer and if you asked the average customer they'd say "I'm a Prometeus customer" not "I'm a XenPower customer". UltraVPS.eu is another...

    Q3 2014 Lowend Provider Results

    On the other hand, if you don't tally the votes by company you run the risk of a forum userID (see #8) not a brand winning the poll. :P edited to add: the majority of the top brands that get tallied together (Oktay, DrServer, Prometeus, Inception) are more strongly identified with the...

    Q3 2014 Lowend Provider Results

    The ownership change uncertainties probably contributed to the drop but I think the main reason for the lower rank is Iniz shifted their marketing focus to higher priced plans early in the quarter.  Tthe only sub $7 openvz plans on their site are a 4 GBP quarterly 256MB and a 4 GBP monthly 512MB...

    Q3 2014 Lowend Provider Results

    The two most interesting things from that poll: 1. the #2 (131 combined) and #11 (22 combined) finishers announced recently they will no longer post offers on LEB/T 2. The combined total of all of the Buffalo (and related suspect Toronto) brands that Kossen pushes on LEB users dropped from 5...

    LET Down?

    Actually, he said he worked for CC/CVPS :) Anyways, google "off duty conduct laws" (tl;dr is the National Labor Relations Act and various state laws say an employer can't fire an employee for lawful off-duty conduct that doesn't involve their job/the company/the company's employees, reputation...

    LET Down?

    Thank god it's back, I was right in the middle of enjoying some prime LET humor when it went down :P   (moved to offtopic by Spirit http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/36545/refugee-program-for-people-who-wanna-migrate-from-cvps-123sys )

    VPN.sh Launching New VPN brand FixedRoute

    At least "their" email seems to be working OK so they were able to send out a couple of advertising emails this month with an unsubscribe link that didn't work.  Reminds me of Fapozi, spam for new sales while ignoring long existing problems.

    The 2.0 on GitHub is an early beta.  Development of the 2.0 version appears to have stopped about 2 years ago.  The stable 1.04 version has SQL injection and CSS vulnerabilities.   tl;dr RIP Trellis project.

    It's secure and frequently updated.  the latest stable v1.93 was released on August 1 and the latest release candidate v1.94-rc5 2 weeks ago. Depending on your needs there is also OTRS and Request Tracker but the setup curve is steeper for both of them that one is lacking call integration...

    Yet another ChicagoVPS backup issue

    It's possible that they are American and their poor command of the English language is because Mr. Fapozo hijacked the short bus and put the kids on it to work. :) WTF is it with all of the reports of "corrupted" VPS's and staff creating "fresh" VPS's in recent months (i.e. customers losing...

    DrServer XEN 128MB (TX)

    Normally I'd ask if you tried changing the scheduler from cfq to noop because it can sometimes make a big difference in I/O performance, but if it was taking 40 seconds to SSH in and 1 minute to open nano I doubt if changing the scheduler would have helped much.
