Next up seems to be CatalystHost offering 333TB bandwidth at $12/year.

Since when was downloading a 2GB test file with the server owner's consent illegal? Just wondering.

I would like to see a list of all companies presently purchasing advertising space on vpsBoard. It would provide a nice element of transparency.

It is possible to get them through SPLA, actually. It depends though on when the SPLA contract was signed, because nowadays everyone is left into the cesspool of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.

You probably want to look at Soekris for this.

My replies are point by point. It is going great. Early adoption of BTC really helped Tortoise grow quickly. Beyond that, I think BTC acceptance really showed how we differentiated verses competitors in terms of innovation. For us, the fraud modeling does not change much. Instead of collecting...

The data on that hack seems to be from 2003.  Who cares?

And what reseller are you using for these?  I seriously doubt you are paying $500/mo for that config.

Shh... just because the kiddies haven't discovered RADIUS yet doesn't mean they're not going to. ;) I see chargen flooding all the time.  It was enough of a problem that we set an ACL on our edge network in Dallas to block it there. Edit: Additional thought -- really, we should ditch both TCP...

To play devil's advocate here... the ColoCrossing shell companies tend to use 100% ColoCrossing, do they not? That said... and I think we can all agree here, the HVH/CC business model is probably not the way you should do things if you're wanting serious customers.  But, really, are LEB...

I am not convinced this FraudRecord stuff is a good plan. Consider hosts deciding to trash customers who leave.  At the very least, I think a person should have the right to request their FraudRecord file and dispute entries on it.  It also seems that various international consumer protection...

Anything which uses UDP in an unauthenticated manner is vulnerable to reflection attacks.

Probably, but I'm not really qualified to discuss their psychological status. :p

I am referring to Clarke there, but you know, whatever.  ChrisK certainly got in over his head with Avante's VPS line, but as far as I know, that situation has pretty much gotten resolved. The only take away I take from the Avante VPS situation is that running a successful lowend product is not...

Yeah I agree here, "Legal reasons" seems kind of bogus for a company that is less than 2 months old. In this case, he would likely just rebrand the operation and be done with it.  I doubt, seriously, that other companies would waste their time on litigation if he simply did that.  It's just not...

It's not really in his interest to give us grief as we are very efficient at unracking a cabinet. :P

Oh, okay.  I was just wondering about it because it seemed kinda "eh" to me. Seems fair now that I have the background.

Well, Clarke has a full cabinet.  It is a lot more than "a couple of bucks." For the record, one of the conditions of his being able to do business with us as Centarra is that he would discontinue this crap.  And, I haven't heard of him doing anything more since he decided to transfer over from...

In essence, Avante gave us a fairly large jump start on things we were already working on.  I'll just leave it at that.

While I am not a fan of those kinds of threads, and question the efficacy of them (do people really read WHT when making hosting decisions -- my own data shows: not really), it may indeed get a response.
