    Who prints VPS welcome e-mails?

    Yeah, and not only that, but if you ever get audited, you can just show up to the IRS offices with a smartphone and some old antiquated portable thermal printer and say, "Oh, you want a copy of that too? Sure, lemme print you one off. should be done in a few minutes." After a few times of which...

    How would you setup these drives?

    Oh, free. yes. Use something other than VMware then lol. I wouldn't recommend the free ESXi unless it was for an onsite SOHO where they needed a few virtual machines on a single box of bare metal, which works good, just not suitable in a provider capacity. Proxmox should work well for his...

    Welcome back folks

    I don't know if it's really that fair to characterize colocrossing in such a poor light in regards to the semi-demise of LEB, any more than it's fair to characterize mACROsFOT in such a light (Even though Bill Gates is the Anti-Christ, LOL). As a business, it just makes sense for your mission...

    HowTo: install Crafty Syntax Live Help (CSLH) on Drupal...

    As a provider of services, you probably have a need for a live chat help system. some of the control panel systems like WHMCS or HostBill have elgant integrations available, but those don't extend to regular websites, customers websites, etc. Besides, some of those integrated solutions don't...

    Who prints VPS welcome e-mails?

    I know we customize our messages. Generic is like a blue stripe on a white beer can. The advisement is just a standard business recommendation, and people really should save or print to a pdf and save those, as well as copies of their paid invoices, IMO. It's just good business practice, and...

    Colocrossing / ChicagoVPS / Lowendtalk / Lowendbox the dump

    LOL! I'm so used to LQ. I went looking for a :hattip: emoticon, but I guess I'll just say, +1 to your post. Now I'll go back and mark it as useful too ;) Kindest regards,

    Ongoing malware attack targeting Apache hijacks 20,000 sites

    Many of those communities actually have awards and trophy programs, so to speak, kinda like if you're a Ham and win a WAS or QRP award for your QSLs.

    How would you setup these drives?

    I don't understand. We have several ESXi hosts in our vSphere farms with 72 and 128GB RAM installed. And if you were using VMware you could just clone, take advantage of HA in your cluster for added redundancy (You'll need to incorporate a SAN), etc., and you can also incorporate snapshotting...

    Zimbra Feedback

    I really don't care for Zimbra. At all. That having been said, I find that we install it quite a bit. There's just times when a customer wants something relatively full featured, but isn't willing to invest in doing it well. And Zimbra is one such solution - easy to set up, Looks really nice...

    Untapped locations?

    Citynethost has operations in Cairo, Egypt, They're rather reliable and stable, and the DNS server we maintain there never lost connectivity to the Internet even during the whole, "Fall of Mubarik" escapade. I had a machine colo'd in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan about ten or twelve years ago, until...

    Changing Operating Systems through SSH

    I'm sure this is a nice solution for many, likely to be popular too, yet I don't really see much utility for such a tool as it relates do debian, since I actually don't recall seeing any providers that don't have debian as part of their offerings. Kindest regards,

    Welcome to vpsBoard! (Read this first)

    Hi MannDude! Glad to be here. Let's hope this doesn't end up like LEB with Chief's *flip* to colocrossing. Not that it has manifested as a bad thing yet, but there does seem to be an aire of a conflict of interest (For LEB, I'm sure colocrossing is just happy as a clam about their acquisition)...
