    A new, faster version of Wi-Fi was officially rubber-stamped Wednesday

    1Gb/s isn't very fast for a LAN.

    Providers - VPS Control Panel Nearly Completed

    Aren't updates every 10 seconds a little too much? Won't it lead to increased load or something?

    Do you support bitcoins for payments?

    ACH is US only. International bank transfers are via the SWIFT system. You can send a SWIFT wire transfer to any country on the planet so the money transfer is not the problem. I bet they have difficulty complying with government regulations in the US.

    Do you support bitcoins for payments?

    Ok good info :)  There is a thread about this very same topic on WHT and the providers there have had no orders paying with bitcoin yet. Anyway bitcoin is still in its infancy. In time it will become easier for consumers to buy bitcoins and then there will be more orders.

    Do you support bitcoins for payments?

    Don't get me wrong. I am glad that more and more providers are accepting bitcoin. I have a few coins myself and I might use them to buy a VPS in future so the more choices I have the better :) . I am curious though. Do you get many orders paying with bitcoin?

    Do you support bitcoins for payments?

    Because I didn't understand what you meant by "we allow our customers to pay via bitcoin but we do not accept that". I think it would have been clearer if you just said that you accept bitcoin but price your products in USD.

    Do you support bitcoins for payments?

    That's how everybody does it. No real world business is going to hold bitcoins when they have expenses that need to be met in fiat.

    How To Contact Support, Properly.

    The thing is that a simple thank you is quite easy to send. I reply to tickets via email so it is quite easy to do. But if I have to close the ticket as well I will have to login to the client area and that might discourage me from doing anything. Also some providers don't let customers close...

    Favorite OS for your VPSes?

    I used to use CentOS. Then I read on LET that Debian used less RAM out of the box so I looked into that. Now I use Debian on my server and OpenSUSE at home.

    What the provider means by saying NO to Torrents?

    You can run a torrent client on a VPS for legal stuff and the host probably won't care. I don't think they monitor stuff that closely.

    Anyone use ThemeForest?

    WP themes on themeforest have to be GPL as in open source. It is one of the conditions of the GPL license under which WP itself is released. So can you elaborate on how they are ripped?

    How To Contact Support, Properly.

    Since this thread is chock full of hosts I think it is a good place to ask this question. I have always wondered whether it makes sense thanking support personnel after they've answered your query? I suppose it is a polite thing to do and helps them close the ticket early. But it's also just a...

    Setting up development environment for PHP+MySQL using VirtualBox

    That's for noobs. If you are serious about web development you will take the time to learn a little bit of server administration as well. Besides you can't use those easy installers on a production system so you will have to learn how to do it the hard way eventually.

    Extremely Fast WordPress with Redis Cache

    Why not use memcached or apc instead? You won't have to hack the wordpress core so updating will be easier: http://wordpress.org/plugins/apc/ http://wordpress.org/plugins/memcached/

    Too many VPS Sites

    Work on your google skills and you won't need a central repository. A central repository is never going to work because people are selfish and will only contribute to their own sites. Also it's better if a "thousand flowers bloom" because competition among webmasters will spur them to create...

    Prometeus.com is 16 years today!

    That makes no sense. Even the most exclusive of companies have websites these days. If you are in the business of selling Internet connectivity you should have a website to detail your services. If you don't believe in the Internet yourself why would anyone trust you to provide Internet access?

    Prometeus.com is 16 years today!

    So on which of their sites do they list those services?
