    atlantic.net $1/mo cloud?

    I got mine yesterday. I wasn't required to go through phone verification for some reason.. maybe because I ordered late at night (north america time). They just sent me an email saying that the Canadian location was full and it would take 12-24 hours before they had more machines in place - and...

    BTSync - Bittorrent Sync file replication Mega Thread

    I've successfully installed it a few times using the yeasoft repository: http://www.yeasoft.com/site/projects:btsync-deb:btsync-server I setup a default instance and go through the guided install. Easy enough.

    Secure Dragon LLC. - 9 US Locations Powered by Wyvern and now with a new website!

    I'd buy one in a heartbeat, all I hear is good things. Unfortunately none of your locations (except for Portland) have <80ms pings.. I get better pings to Tampa (~87ms) than Los Angeles (+100ms), and I'm just 2 hours north of Seattle. Re: locations. Everyone's pretty much at the westin...

    CloudatCost Coming Soon 2.0

    Great idea. Love that they're Canadian. Horrible execution so far. I have no problem burning $35/one time for a kickaround box that'll maybe last a couple years - or $1/mo - just for testing & breaking stuff. But with disk i/o at <8MB/s, it takes years for OS reinstalls or doing anything that...

    BUDGETGEEK TELECOMS LIMITED / 32MB Club / Random Bans

    Oh man.. I forgot how great that was. The problem with Jon is that he never takes the great advice people give him.

    Submitted #400953. This time I got an automated email back, that went straight into the gmail spam filter, but at least I know it went through.

    $29 CHEAP DEDICATED SERVERS ★ QUAD CORE XEON ★ FREE IPMI ★ UNMETERED BANDWIDTH ★ Wow!

    I sent an email on the 28th and submitted a message through the live chat on the 30th. No response yet. A tad disappointing..

    BuyVM.NET / BuyShared.NET - Shared - $5/year | Resellers - $2.00/month! Dedicated IPv4! SSD RAID!

    @Josiah They're helpful if you're willing to help as well and not just shrug it off as their problem. I pay BuyVM around $20/mo across the various services I have with them, and receive better support than providers I've paid $200/mo.

    Backup Network anyone?

    Just don't do what my previous employer did.. have 3 backups for internet, but no backup power in the event of an outage. Kinda screws up stuff for an ecommerce business, with voip phone lines and electronic entry on every door in the building. Were down for a few hours while we bought a...

    What do you use your VPS for?

    How do you like Piwik? I've considered setting up an installation for a few of my sites as a test. I thought I had this trademarked, GhettoCDN™. What are you using to manage your CDN? - or is it as ghetto as mine (a bunch of geographically diverse, rsync'd boxes with Route53 DNS (latency-based...

    Best low cost CDN?

    CDNify is pretty solid, they have a $10/mo plan: https://cdnify.com/ Used them for the last 6 months or so. I know they have a recurring 20% off coupon floating around as well.

    Backup Network anyone?

    My main line is a 50mbps cable connection (Shaw Cable). I've considered adding an additional DSL line, but for the few outages I've had - I've just been able to tether off of my phone temporarily. If my connection really does go down hard, it's not too difficult to head to a coffee shop or a...

    What do you consider valid justification for IP space?

    It will affect rankings if you're doing semi-shady shit (in Google's eyes, that is). If you're building a PBN or linking to your own stuff, having it on completely different blocks is fairly important. The best way to get different IPs for different sites is to use a variety of hosts. But I...
