    Hardcloud launching their "Premium Virtual Private Servers"

    HardCloud coupon codes http://www.retailmenot.com/view/hardcloud.com :P (this post is my subtle way of saying that when I hear "HardCloud" I think "online UK clothing store")

    Who uses Stripe for payments? Beware, they seem to not validate cards.

    The small amount was $1.62 when I paid an invoice last week with Stripe (temporary authorization, disappeared the next day) Most merchant accounts (at least the better ones) offer rate limiting fraud filters that allow the merchant to limit the number of transactions that can be submitted per...

    Things you shouldn't do at any cell phone store.

    ChicagoVPS global password reset? Hacked again?

    Yes they do, and unlike other providers who accept credit cards through WHMCS they don't provide any way for customers to delete the credit card info that is stored on file (the only option is to update the card info),  Type of card, credit card number, and expiration date are stored. WHMCS...

    Which other location would you like to see

    NYC/NJ and all the locations in your first post (except for Fairfax,CA which I hope isn't Comcast business...) have a lot of competition. Here's a few with less competition and all places have DCs that are fairly reasonable (with the exception of maybe Boston unless you go to Somerville)...

    UGVPS = Thomas Dale = Crystal Dale = ChicagoVPS = Dig the Mine

    I'm going to disagree with the "Crystal my ass" statement because I think Crystal does do the bulk of the work at UGVPS. My only problem with today's LEB writeup (besides the fact that I've given UGVPS a try twice and they completely sucked as far as reliabilty both times and their tech support...

    Is HVH owned by Colocrossing?

    If they don't own HVH on paper and they're processing transactions for Hudson Valley Host services through the ColoCrossing merchant account it would be a violation of Visa and Mastercard regulations which prohibit  a merchant account holder from processing payments through their account for a...

    Experiences with vps.net?

    Liam Leaves the Low End. Bye Liam.

    He also pulled the post where you quoted a post Liam made this summer (this post by Liam, last one in the thread http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/319167/#Comment_319167 ).

    The logo on that site needs to be changed to avoid any copyright complaint problems (see the logo on paypalsucks.com for inspiration).  This link  and FAQ will come in handy if you get any complaints. http://chillingeffects.org/protest/
