I definitely fall into the "a while" category :P but one of my alumni benefits is a free lifetime google apps for education account with a .edu email address.

I like to be safe with DNS so I go the overkill route: PowerDNS master (at VPS.us in NL) with 5 of my own PowerDNS slaves (all low end VPS's and all at different geographically dispersed providers) plus a few ClouDNS slaves. My advice would be to never rely on just one company for your DNS...

Tried it twice and it timed out at the ThinkBroadband UK speed test both times.

It looks like it has been down several times in the past week.  Today's issue is due to a DDoS. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1349439. TL;DR don't use a registrar's DNS servers  as your only DNS servers.  Relying on one provider for your DNS will inevitably lead to downtime.

Posting a couple of test results from one of the BandwagonHost nodes I'm on in the Netherlands because they differ from the above results significantly (I've had this 256MB one since November, no problems so far.  I also have one of their $5.99 annual 128MB in the NL). dd test result: The...

Spammers know it however.  There have been days when I've received 10K+ identical spam emails in my google apps account all addressed to different names...the spam filter catches most of them but it's still annoying. Gmail will let in 10K+ identical spam emails but it blocks content their spam...

Why bother with a middle man like Facebook?  It's much quicker for me to just email the NSA and say "I like vpsboard" :P

Usually when a company has established credit they'll show up on a D&B search.  The only thing D&B has for Zeneva is this: Company Name Address City State     WEST 8TH ST CORP Also Traded as ZENEVA 20 W 8TH ST NEW YORK No DUNS...

I posted this on WHT so I thought I'd cross post it here because I know google loves duplicate content :P ---------begin duplicate content---- There is a Bandwidth LLC registered in Florida (and 3 other states show registrations for companies with the same name) but there is no mention of a...

The adult contractors are entering into a contract with Green Value Hosting Inc not with Jon.

C = сатана (Russian word for Satan) V = velns (Latvian word for devil) P = paholainen (Finnish word for devil) S = shetani (Swahili word for satan) Well, there you have it, a clear link between CVPS/ColoCrossing and Satan.  Time to call in an exorcist :P...

My Observium events log for the past 30 days for a RamNode NL openvz VPS: The log for the RAMNode VPS is completely empty, i.e. no downtime, or network outages, .  By contrast I have other openvz VPS's from top rated LEB providers who shall be unnamed where the event logs look like this...

Romper Room chiming in with his thoughts on the matter: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?p=9016676&postcount=64

Think of it this way, if people are talking about overdue bills that's less time they're complaining about the performance of your service. So you're using the Feathur LLC account to pay BlueVM Comm LLC's server bills?  You should speak to the IRS about that one.

Their "abnormal hate" predates BlueVM and stems from a software development company that tried to sell a hosting billing system

If a host's reliability is subpar and you have to open numerous support tickets it's not a good deal.  Add the $$ value of your time that you waste opening support tickets (and the $$ value of any business you lose if you're using the VPS for your business) to the price of the plan and those...

Send him BlueVM's unpaid Fortatrust bill too. :)

15-20 members is only bad when you're talking about kiddie hosts/summer hosts/many 2GB/$7 hosts. 15-20 forum members = 15 individuals making all forum posts 15-20 "2GB/$7 provider" staff members = 1 individual with multiple aliases making all ticket posts.

100% of my hosting purchases are done with a corporate credit card. 0% with a PayPal balance.

They're in Milan ( <1ms from Prometeus).  I think a lot of data centers have had 40+ Gbps attacks in recent days :).  OVH started filtering all NTP traffic through its "VAC" DDoS system today regardless of whether there has been a DDoS from/to the server...
