    Should I invest in my current company or acquire bigger company?

    Howdy! Make sure you take this (and everything else you read) with a grain of salt. It's free advice from a random guy on a forum :)   I would recommend investing in yourself because this will allow you to set up the necessary sales channels to ensure that you'll be attracting clients day in and...

    I'm after a vps supplier that accepts bitcoin, suggestions please?

    This thread is 2 months old. Surely the OP has found a web host by now.

    IP Systems Ltd AS62741 Acquires A Lot Of IPs...

    SpamHaus is not just some bully that lists people without reason. Let's not paint them as such. Take a look at what happened with ColoCrossing (bird's eye view). -ColoCrossing's IP's got listed and kept getting listed as part of escalations -ColoCrossing made efforts to clean up its network. ...

    Is it legal to deny new orders or block orders from high risk countries?

    I'm guessing that this is for a hosting company based the fact that the thread is in the Operating a VPS Business section. Might I suggest you take a look at this - https://www.aspnix.com/whmcs-modules-development/geoip-order-blocking-addon-for-whmcs/ I haven't used it before myself, but...

    Nodewatch Settings

    Thanks for the reply and details. The conntrack session was also causing us some issues, so I'm thinking about setting it to 75,000 and seeing what happens. Most suspensions are for conntrack counts anyway, so I am thinking our limit is likely too low. It's also not a big issue for us since our...

    Nodewatch Settings

    What settings are you currently using for Nodewatch? What do you do to minimize the chance of false VPS suspensions? I'm also thinking about writing a module for Nodewatch that will email a customer (using their SolusVM registered client email) when their VPS has been suspended, and it will...

    Gardening Time - 2015

    Not a full-on garden, but an herb garden consisting of: Mint Cilantro Basil Rosemary Chives Parsley Would love to get some tarragon too, but it's tough to find around here.  Growing herbs has been so much fun that I'm considering doing some other plants, likely tomatoes and zucchini (good...

    Is it legal to deny new orders or block orders from high risk countries?

    Everyone else has made some great points, so I'm just going to leave this. I highly doubt that someone from a high-risk country is going to spend the money on an international lawsuit for a hosting service valued at less than $100. Then again, maybe LowEnd has just gotten that crazy. ;)

    IP Systems Ltd AS62741 Acquires A Lot Of IPs...

    A lot of IP's, indeed. A few things don't sit well with me: -The fact that it is a British virgin islands company -SpamHaus listing & accusation of IP hijacking -342,016 IPs... for what?

    No, they're not with OVH for clients. @HostPair is correct, I do believe

    Backup solutions

    We run off-site R1Soft backups and they take backups daily. So far I have been very pleased by the backup speeds and restoration speeds.  If you're light on disk space, R1Soft is the best way to go since it uses deltas. It's also restorable from the end user's control panel (except MySQL...

    Starting a VPS business with $10,000. How would you spend it?

    You consider leasing to be spending money very wisely?  :unsure: Leasing you get no equity on your servers. It's a bill you have to pay each and every month with nothing to show for it, except for being able to access the server for another month. The guarantees of replaceable hardware are...

    This Forum.......

    @MannDude Maybe if it were made more clear, it would have been more of a success? There's quite a barrier to entry -- not every single person is going to jump at the opportunity to write a technical article (and the bad ones can be thrown away as part of quality control). I'm going to...

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    1- The new user validation group needs to go as it discourages new users who will want to immediately post content upon registration. If you wait for them to come back after they've been validated, you're losing a lot of casual members and keeping only providers (many of whom come just to post...

    This Forum.......

    As a word of opinion, this should be made more clear. I am relatively new here (registered recently but have been a lurker), and I knew nothing of the sort. You should make a specific landing page for this so it will help draw readers in. The forum thread that is linked sure looks like a lot of...
