I agree with what others are saying. Leasing is the WORST thing you can do if you only have $10k to your name and are starting a VPS company in 2015, unless you like to see what bankruptcy looks like and you're on a "race to the bottom" in terms of credit score. ;)

I've never considered putting my hosting experience on my resume, maybe I should. :)

Every US anti-discrimination law I've ever read only applied to US citizens. If you want to get technical, the hosting provider is not the one preventing the user from ordering since they are utilizing a 3rd party to determine eligibility of service in regards to high risk countries.

1) Anybody with an ounce of common sense shouldn't be surprised by this at all. 2) Every other country is doing the exact same thing and if they aren't I'd be cautious about living there. The only reason why the NSA sucks so much and is constantly in the spotlight is because of so many leaks...

My only python experience is hacking up an old python daemon I use for my status pages and @Nikki's LowEndPing daemon. I wouldn't mind learning Python but honestly, I think it's a waste of time at this point. After speaking with @joepie91, Node.js is a much better alternative and having been...

I created some special KVM plans because of a lot of interest lately in cPanel DNS Only, I'll throw them out here in case anybody is interested (note that the bandwidth is pretty low compared to our other plans, the CPU is also reduced, and the only OS options are CentOS since that is all cPanel...

The best solution is to use both. Always have at least one set of local and off-site backups.

@drmike They have a custom panel.

cPanel changed the recent requirements for cPanel DNS Only and it won't install on a VPS with less than 768MB of RAM so you'll either need to order a VPS with that or you'll need to ask your provider to increase your RAM on install. Why do you need 200GB of bandwidth though? That's a lot for...

Take $1500 and buy a server, set aside $2500 for 12 months colocation, $316 for 12 months licenses, ~$500 for web design/branding/plugins, $### for registering an LLC. (cost depends on location), put the rest away for a rainy day and unexpected costs. Ta da! A VPS-Provider-In-A-Box! Just don't...

What's the difference between a software and hardware backup solution? All backup solutions require hardware and software.

I've been wanting to release this script on my GitHub for a while but the problem is that the daemon I use for the servers is very specific to my servers so I'd need to hack it to make it more universal but unfortunately the daemon is written in python and I know just enough python to edit the...

I personally always change my SSH port regardless if I have password authentication disabled or not unless NAT is involved, if it is then I'll port forward to 22 and use 22 internally but externally it's always something other than 22. I also have a lot of servers/devices where disabling...

LoL, this thread was (jokingly) supposed to be like an AA meeting but then @DomainBop brought in a keg and so many coins went out the window.

I think I only have 2 VPSs actually idling and not in use (set to cancel at the end of the billing period), the rest are used for either my http://chk2.net or https://afreecloud.com projects.

Not a technical problem but a psychological one. My name is Joe and I'm addicted to VPSs. :( I knew I had a problem when last night I was going through my Paypal account and found 3 VPSs I ordered last month that I never logged into, so I decided to throw this site together (it's kinda like my...

There are special appliances now, unfortunately it takes almost 2 years to break even after spending thousands of dollars on hardware plus the cost of power.

What would be it? You do know that the 1.6 billion EUR they are asking for is less than 1% of what Greece owes right? That's an insane amount.

No they didn't. Their 32 bit templates were just updated a few weeks ago.

I was reading that RAID1 is also faster for reads but since I never use RAID1 anywhere I don't know if that is accurate or not.
