    update on $1 per year vps idea (32MB Club)

    Ok, I've been watching this trainwreck long enough.  He has finally made a good request for this thread to be closed,  why not actually do what he can't and read? You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.  Let's let this horse (No offense directed at our favorite Pony team)...

    Computer chairs. What do you recommend?

    The best solution for scratch happy cats - shipping/duck tape reversed (sticky side out).  Generally 2-3 encounters with the tape is all the cat needs to avoid it for good. I've had the best luck with duck tape, while the cat might have shorter than normal hair in a few spots they aren't harmed...

    Computer chairs. What do you recommend?

    I'll second @MartinD's recommendation of a Herman Miller chair.  They are expensive, but using the Embody with the matching Envelop desk... I'm spoiled and can't do the cheap stuff most places buy it's just not comfortable.   You might try looking for the Aeron or Mirra/Mirra 2 chair, there is...

    Need a new keyboard

    Yes, and in the ~13 months I got out of my last one the keys didn't wear off that much.  Yes, my heavily used keys did show some wear and tear, but all remained visible.  If the spacebar didn't die on me (I haven't taken it apart to check why yet) I figure it would take another 1-2 years for the...

    Need a new keyboard

    I've also used the Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000 in the past, and it's a great option.  My last one died prematurely - space bar stopped working - which I wouldn't call typical.  I ended up replacing it with a SteelSeries Apex Raw, which lights up and gives me a ton of hotkeys. I would have...

Oh, and we will be...

    Thanks for the review! We are always looking to improve our services where possible, including HostGuard.  If you feel something is missing please let us know we can get it added.  Yes, @NickM our todo list will be growing more. There are a few announcements planned for later this month, but...

    Anyone Use Elgg CMS here?

    The better question is do you want to know about our CMS choices (MODX Fan here) or our Social Network/Engine choices?  The two aren't the same unless they changed the meaning of CMS...

    VPN Help

    I'm guessing you don't want to setup your own VPN?  You can get a small VPS cheaper in some cases, and the setup isn't very difficult.  You can even find guides/autoinstallers here.

    cPanel rant

    I haven't taken the time to look into this, as Onra Host noted most users contact us due to the pricing. Definitely open a ticket with cPanel on that one and let us know what you hear back.

    HostingCon 2014 - Who's going?

    If you don't already know hostingcon 2014 will be taking place in Miami later this month (June 16-18). I'm planning to attend this year, and was wondering if anyone else had similar plans (Exhibits Only or Full Con)?  It's a decent excuse to get out of the office for a little and meet with...

    Best disk storage/raid server setup for VPS host server?

    I would also recommend using Hardware Raid 10 in most situations, especially with larger drives.  The rebuild times the larger your array the more potential risk of a second failure. All drives WILL fail, it's just a question of time. The only area I currently question the use of Raid 10 is...

    How did you come up with your company name?

    A few hours of debating possible company names leading up to lunch.  The closer we got to lunch the more food related names were suggested.  I forget the exact reasoning we settled on our name, perhaps because our lunch arrived or the name wasn't already taken.  It could also be the fact none of...

    KernelCare - Rebootless Kernel Updates

    It looks like the folks over at CloudLinux are looking to shake up the rebootless kernel update market with their introduction of KernelCare (http://kernelcare.com/).  They announced pricing on March 30th, with retail sales starting on the 1st, so it's a newer solution, but looks promising...

    SSL for webmail and cPanel logins?

    The main difference between a self-signed and purchased certificate would be browser trust, with a self-signed certificate the connection is secure your browser just doesn't trust the certificate out of the box. If you find the alert annoying (as I do), you can purchase a certificate which will...

    EV SSL

    Considering we are asking our customers to trust us with their data, it's hard to argue with something like an EV SSL Certificate or at the very least an Organization SSL certificate. Why should they trust us with their information if we are unable to give them something to trust about us?  Sure...

    You should contact the host as suggested, once resolved if you sync the time it should hold up.
