    SolusVM SOLD and acquired by OnApp

    That's close to the thoughts I voiced on OnApp's ability to woo current SolusVM users a few days ago. This acquisition really doesn't change my feelings that OnApp's lack of inroads into the corporate cloud market (and its reliance on small to mid sized webhosting clients) are going to be a...

    First setup of a newbie, what to improve now?

    Fail2ban and CSF (because it is newbie friendly for first time VPS users). For the WP sites I'd also add a couple of plugins for security: BruteProtect (or other brute protection plugin) and Disable XML-RPC Pingback.

    Soooo I got screwed by Phones4U my pre-ordered IPhone6 got canceled

    It's not illegal in the US.  Under both the Fair Credit Billing Act and the FTC's Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule it is illegal not to ship within the advertised timeframe (e.g. if merchant says "average delivery time xx days" then they must ship within xx days.  If the merchant doesn't...

    BlueVM's domain name was hijacked

    In other news, 300 more E3's (and a scant 54 E5's) on the way! http://appext20.dos.ny.gov/ASPIMGView/imgview.aspx?pdocid=29089866&pidmname=DEFAULT&pApp=UCC http://appext20.dos.ny.gov/ASPIMGView/imgview.aspx?pdocid=29059411&pidmname=DEFAULT&pApp=UCC

    StyleXNetworks Going Out of Business

    VirtuaClub announced last month they were dumping OnApp: CloudFlow (by SeFlow) is the only OnApp powered cloud I know of that has (some) budget priced offerings.  OnApp has a history of bugs and unless you're very knowledgeable technically/a good programmer (I'd classify the guys at SeFlow as...

    (Newb question!) How to divide a dedicated server into VPSes?

    I think in this case the biggest push will come from the open source platforms because there are already some giant adapters of both OpenStack and CloudStack in the hosting industry  and large corporations OpenStack users include hosts like Rackspace, iWeb, BlueHost and large corporate users...

    (Newb question!) How to divide a dedicated server into VPSes?

    That depends on how you define location.  CloudVPS has only one physical location (HA setup distributed in 3 different fiber connected data centers in Amsterdam) but they also offer a free CDN with their service that has 93 global locations (partnership with Level 3 CDN).  Vultr may offer...

    StyleXNetworks Going Out of Business

    They've deleted their Facebook and twitter accounts which isn't a good sign, so if they're not answering support tickets or the phone, then about your only other way of contacting them is to contact Kasra through either LinkedIn or Elance and hope he answers...

    SSD guru needed. Looking for an SSD with good Garbage Collection.

    Corsair Force GS have SandForce controllers.  I've been using them in one server and haven't had any problems or seen any performance degradation (the drives themselves have been in continuous use in a production environment for about 1 1/2 years).  NewEgg is selling manufacturer refurbished...

    Do you tell a customer your server specs if he asks?

    ...or they don't want to tell the customer with the 2GB RAM plan that the 32GB RAM E3 they're using has been slabbed into 4 8GB RAM slabs...not pointing fingers at anyone, but...

    StyleXNetworks Going Out of Business

    After reading the complaints on WHT over the past few years, and the comments made by former contractors, I'd put my thumb on it being a case of a poorly managed company that ran out of money. OnApp has had some bugs  and some more bugs but I don't think it was the main cause of their downfall.

    This thread from 2 weeks ago is worth a read. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1405368  Besides customer complaints of servers down for days, unanswered support tickets, missing/deleted files, there is also a disgruntled former employee...

    I see 3 spoiled brat suburban fucktard children listed in that quote (ServerCrate, GreenValueHost, ClamHost) but I don't see any real providers so inquiring minds want to know who was the provider he was spreading BS about?  :)

    How can we make the Daily Server Deals website a better experience for you?

    Detailed is in the eye of the beholder. It doesn't answer any of the most frequently asked low end buyer questions: Are torrents allowed? Do you ignore DMCA? Warez allowed? Minecraft allowed? Hitleap? Tor exit nodes? Can I use all 4 cores 24/7? IRC, Proxies? Will you suspend me if I get...

    (Newb question!) How to divide a dedicated server into VPSes?

    Blech.  They're both VPS providers once you get past their cloud marketing gimmick MY choice for hourly rate (real)(enterprise grade) cloud these days is: CloudVPS:  +1 because they're big supporters of open source, free speech, and privacy (and are the most reliable NL provider I've ever...

    Chicago VPS scammers

    The "due to the way invoices work" bit made me laugh.  He must be using the same outsourcing firm for accounting that he uses for tech support if that's the way invoices work. :P

    You won't get it for that price in NL (and if you do it will be from a questionable provider in a crappy DC ).  Try Milan > Seflow > excellent network and reliability i7-4770 16GB RAM/20TB BW/1x240GB SSD for 41 euros (w/59 euro setup) or 56 euros (no setup fee) > add 10 euros for a 2nd 240GB...

    CloudAtCost Oversold, Underpriced, What to do? Launch new "Feature"

    Spelling and grammatical errors in terms of service, contracts, or customer communications are always an indication of a quality provider.  :) That would require them to monitor logging on the VPS itself. The wording of their message seems to imply that "safe mode" will automatically turn a...
