    ...and the tl;dr version of that is Nforce? :)

Amsterdam to London: 8ms-9ms NYC to Buffalo: 14ms-16ms tl;dr Amsterdam isn't that far latency-wise from the UK, there are locations in other parts of the world I'd rather see first.

Agreed about ioping tests, and if we want to take it a step farther, choosing a VPS provider based primarily on the "blazing fast" dd and ioping results the provider posted in their offer is equally pointless.

I first read it as FapHost but then I saw it was ex-hackforums advertiser/participant FrapHost.  I'm actually shocked FrapHost is still in business since it was obvious the "business" wasn't exactly a high priority for the old owner. He had an LEB offer in December and his WHMCS wasn't working...

Paying people? This is BlueVM we're talking about, right? ---------- edited to add purple text :)

Every 2 hours is bad! If you run the script during even hours and the abusers only abuse during odd hours you'll never know that the node you're on has dd speeds below 10 Mbps half the day! Solution: run it every hour!

Does HostUS still have a "financial partnership" with Green Value Hosting Inc? February 3rd "press release": http://webvps.blogspot.com/2014/02/hostus-solutions-ltd-partners-with.html

Burst.net has been mediocre crap since it started so that's not necessarily a bad thing. Burst didn't start offering any  hosting services until late '96.  The company operated a computer retail store for the 1st 6 years and the registered corporate name until about '98 was Shawn's Trading Post...

The customer has virtually no protection if something goes wrong when they pay for hosting services with PayPal because hosting services are virtual goods.  If a customer wants protection they should use a credit card.

KiwiVM (BandwagonHost/VPSBlast/iT7) has a self-migration feature.  They don't impose any limitations on the number of migrations or frequency of migrations but they do use Nodewatch (developed by them) for general abuse curbing on their nodes.

They're not the only ones suffering... http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/24164/dedicated-minds-in-limbo

Mark from Youmura (Delimiter) posted on LET a few days ago that he saw a document (I'm assuming it was a UCC) that Burst had a $975K line of credit that was secured against the DC in Dunsmore...if anyone can find a copy of that UCC... edit: Allegedly in default to Burst but no documents (or...

...and not all employment contract non-disparagement clauses are unforceable or legal either.  A Quicken Loans employee filed a complaint with the The National Labor Relations Board last year and a judge ruled that a non-disparagement clause (as well as a non disclosure clause) in Quicken Loans...

Smart move but I wouldn't wait for the end of the year. . :) That's due to your association with CC (i.e. you use their IPs) and because several of the spammers that rotate between a small handful of CC based providers (CVPS/123sys/HVH/ BlueVM/and CC unswiped range) have regularly been showing...

In the low end f*cktard sector you just have hosts who will cancel service if a negative review is posted online, and in a couple of cases I've seen hosts threaten to report the reviewer to FraudRecord for posting a negative review (with the reason for the fraud report given as "slander", "staff...
