    Do you have health insurance?

    I do.. Too much but the small business health care tax credit and deductions for employee health care premiums ease the pain somewhat. I'll just leave you with these 2 links.  There are some hosting companies out there that provide their employees with competitive wages and generous benefit...

    Colocrossing Achieves Top 5 Rank

    The web based threats coming from their network can be easily reduced... CSF firewall rules (/etc/csf/csf.deny) to block about 80% of their IPs . The providers' added support costs and increased customer turnover is probably eating up most of the savings from those "crazy deals" they got on...

    Colocrossing Achieves Top 5 Rank

    Time for a quick update because Spamhaus escalated another /17 today.  That makes 3 x /15 and 2 x /17 on SBL's.  A total of 459,984 of ColoCrossing's 724,480 IP addresses are now blacklisted by Spamhaus.  That is 63.5%. Biloh's slimy salesman spiel excuses for the SPAM and blacklistings (the...

    Virtovo sold. Selling Colocrossing network now.

    June 23rd email to customers: The confusion arose because the buyer of the domain/brand made it appear in their WHT ad that it was a continuation of the "old" Virtovo business by saying they had been in business since December 2013: Google cache...

    Lowendtalk/Lowendbox 2nd Quarter 2014 - *Unofficial* Top VPS Provider Results

    They recently introduced a $10 1GB plan.  It's still not low end but it's competitive with DO/Vultr and the small difference between $10 and $7 might attract some "low end" customers who have been burned by picking the wrong providers and are looking for something with a proven track record of...

    Dear Provider, I'd be more likely to buy your VPS...

    Ideally they'd be tested from active nodes but I think we all know there are some providers who cheat on the benchmarks they list in their ads (like the openvz providers who list dd scores in their offer that they tested on an empty node and then 2-3 months later after they've overloaded the...

    Dear Provider, I'd be more likely to buy your VPS...

    ...if you listed the Unixbench in the offer description because on those occasions when I need something with a little power, the "2 cores" you have listed in your description doesn't tell me sh!t. "2 cores" could mean I'm getting something with nearly the power of an older i3, or it could mean...

    CaliHop closing down

    Yep, and it looks like ReverseHosts didn't get all of their customers migrated in time so total data loss for some customers.  Hopefully those customers had backups. July 13 update: July 11 update: : Why didn't they order 2 servers to begin with?  If you know your existing servers use x...

    Virtovo sold. Selling Colocrossing network now.

    When she announced the Vancouver closure on June 3rd she extended the expiry dates for everyone in Vancouver until July 19th so people with service in Vancouver got a few weeks of free service.

    Virtovo sold. Selling Colocrossing network now.

    That combined with the fact that the Vancouver servers aren't scheduled to be shut down until next weekend is why the Virtovo offer on WHT raised questions.  "Susan" should have notified customers who still have service in Vancouver that the domain but not the customers had been sold.  It would...

    Dr Mike and Dr Pony said CC related.  I said #winning related.  :) You're buying from CC direct now and not buying your servers from Mr. #winning anymore? (asking because the test IPs in your LET offer today were showing #winning...and by the way, the Chicago 23.94.x.x one is still...
