Ad-stalking has another name "ad retargeting" and probably the biggest company in the field is AdRoll (who are also the most annoying...daily cold call phone calls and emails...at least until you tell them to go F-themselves :P) This is the (email) sales pitch they make to merchants and web...

This Out-Law article (published on Register.com) on ad-stalking is worth a read: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/01/24/ad_campaign_launched_to_educate_consumers_about_online_behavioural_dvertising/ The relevant (to EU and UK users) passages from that article are: EU: "Under the EU's Privacy...

You work fast.  What is the significance of the squirrel in the logo?

Umm, I think you should check your website immediately.  I just clicked on that link and got a 404 page not found, and your home page is showing a "hacked by" message and playing a children's song...not good.

Many credit card issuers allow people to file chargebacks up to 6 months after the transaction so in addition to complying with EU rules the PP rule change may also be an attempt by PayPal to reduce the number of chargebacks filed after day 45 by giving those people the option of opening a...

Fixed that quote. Raid 10 and I'll throw in this link for anyone else who is trying to decide between hardware and software RAID: http://www.adaptec.com/nr/rdonlyres/14b2fd84-f7a0-4ac5-a07a-214123ea3dd6/0/4423_sw_hwraid_10.pdf

CloudFlare hides the IP address the domain/website is hosted on but it can't hide the IP address itself.  The majority of types of attacks that CSF and fail2ban protect against (like bruteforce attacks, etc) are attacks where the attacker is targeting an IP (or range of IPs) and not a specific...

It makes sense to try to limit the damage by giving big companies a chance to fix it before the vulnerability becomes common knowledge, but on the other hand I don't like the further tilting of an already tilted playing field towards large corporations. Large companies are better able to...

Major security vulnerability in Xen to be announced October 1st if you're a mere mortal.  Amazon is already privy to the details and the fix and is applying the fix and rebooting the 10% of its cloudcrap thingees that are vulnerable. http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/...

I blame LET for the fact that my dedicated server count now exceeds my VPS count.  It doesn't make me want to rent a VPS when I see VPS providers saying ""Hosting providers utilizing OpenVZ virtualization technology to provide "virtual private server" web hosting services are under no obligation...

That IP is clean but in the same /23 range there are Spamhaus XBL's (xbl - infected with  worms, trojans, etc and part of a botnet) and barracuda blocks.  http://rbls.org/66.225.195.194 edit: CVPS is sending email to their customers from a friggin' game server? There are several Google listings...

Bumping because Spamhaus escalated a pair of /17's today..so: 3 x /15 and 3 x 17 +...=494612/759,808 = 65.0%= you're f*cked! 107.172.0.0/15 23.94.0.0/15 107.174.0.0/15 192.210.128.0/17 198.46.128.0/17 192.227.128.0/17

Reliable Hosting would fit that description since they built their own DC and it is staffed by them.  No idea about the network in West Virginia though... That's always been my rule with dedicated providers or anything that I'll be hosting something critical on.  I also no longer use any...

Debian advisory.  Patch available for wheezy. https://www.debian.org/security/2014/dsa-3032

The biggest problem the old brand faced will also be faced by the new service: if you want to run a business (as opposed to having a hobby) you need to devote your full energy to it and you need to make the business one of your top priorities in life.  I really didn't didn't feel the business...

I'm assuming US location and you didn't mention a price range so... for data security compliance : FireHost (not cheap, VMWare based) out of the 2 you listed: KnownHost gets a +2 (+1 because I've used both KnownHost and their unmanaged RocketVPS brand and their reliability was excellent...
