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

    I'd beg to differ. eBay has some amazing deals for server hardware - you just need to know where to look. A full write-up coming to a store near you...

    PayPal Problems Today

    Haven't seen this posted anywhere else, but we've experienced this when paying merchants (tried from 2 different accounts), and some of our clients have mentioned the same thing to us. We've been getting this error with PayPal: I talked to the billing at one of our vendors and they were having...

    This Forum.......

    I like the technical stuff too (helps me learn!). What kind of technical stuff would the community like to see?  Also can cPanel tutorials be posted in the Library? I don't know that much about VPS and nothing that you guys don't already know, but I have quite a few tricks for cPanel that I...

    WHMCS v6 has been released

    Unfortunately bugs can be extremely difficult to find and track, especially in a piece of software as diverse as WHMCS. It's an all in one solution, or as I prefer to call it, a jack of all trades and master of none (more on that in an upcoming post). It has its problems, but the truth of the...

    This Forum.......

    Drama sells. It gets viewers and gets new people on the forum. There just comes a time when the drama threads need to end and need to be locked, until they're continued on the next episode :) I feel that we have some, lets say, needless instigators (creating drama with no fact behind it--just...

    Finnish teenager "Ryan" got 2 year suspended sentence for hacking

    What do you think about that? I think it's fair and perhaps he deserves a harsher sentence, based on hacking over 50,000 servers. Without the evidence or a lot of background, it's hard to say though

    What's for Lunch?

    Yesterday - French Onion Soup from Mastering the Art of French Cooking Today - Suprêmes de Volaille aux Champigons (Chicken Breasts with Mushrooms and Cream) from Mastering the Art of French Cooking They were both amazing, but I liked the French onion soup better. Gotta love Julia Child.

    Sneak peak of vpsBoard update

    I don't mind the gradient (don't love it either), but I know others don't like it. Big gradients are out these days with the flat design craze. Here's something I mocked up:

    WHMCS - how to create promo for single clients

    Yeah, the only workaround I would say is manually adding the order from the admin-side and doing a price override through there. Not sure what your intended purpose is though, so it might be more work. To me it sounded like you wanted to give codes to clients so that they could give them to...

    Cheap managed VPS?

    Well, I can say that we do managed VPS from $23/mo with 2 GB RAM. IMO it's pretty generous and the margins are slim (at this point). On the other side, we've found numerous benefits to offering managed VPS so affordably, including cheaper license prices (due to volume) and the ease of signing on...

    Greece - what's next?

    Just wanted to pop in to say, kudos to you! Not a whole lot of providers (especially LowEnd ones) would be so kind and understanding about the situation over there. :)

    Do you use a VPN for your normal internet browsing?

    I only use a VPN when I see reason to use a VPN, like when dealing with clients and client matters. I have a habit of looking up the IP address of those who log in to my servers to perform work (usually to find out where they're from), so I like to keep my VPN to keep the data secure, hide my...

    WebHostingTalk Worst of the Hosting Industry

    Go to 1:18 and see the magical fire :) Likely he is teaching sacrificial techniques to appease the gods of uptime.

    What's your favorite device for browsing forums?

    I'm on my iPad mini and it's probably my favorite device for browsing the forums, especially in bed (yeah... I'm addicted to Vpsboard). What do you guys like to use to browse vpsB?

    Where exactly did Jonny come from?

    I hadn't even heard of HudsonValleyHost or ChicagoVPS or any of the companies from the Buffalo Basic Bitches until Jonny talked about them left and right and even blamed them for mistakes. Lest we not forget Lance Jessurun - real guy whose name has been dragged through the dirt by trusting the...

    Portal Do Host Selects Limestone Networks as its Dedicated Hosting Provider

    A sarcastic reply from a provider to a potential customer doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

    Thumbs up to @Licensecart

    Recently I purchased some licenses from @Licensecart and I must say that my purchasing experience was very positive. The customer service there is top-notch and I'm really happy that I went with a smaller provider (especially one active here on vpsB). I'd recommend that anyone who needs Solus...

    End User - What vps control panel would you prefer, how important it to you ?

    We use proxmox for internal nodes and we really like it, but we don't use it for anything customer-facing. Customer-facing is all SolusVM, currently.

    Best place to find coders?

    Could not be further from the truth. A good developer vs a bad developer will make the world of a difference. Great developers can help make the project a success, and bad ones can kill the project. Do your research. I would recommend guys on industry forums - it shows that they're learning and...

    Hostress, LLC has acquired GreenValueHost v2 Clients and domain.

    I think now would be a great time to remind everyone to check the integrity of their backups and their backup software.
