@jarland netub posted this thread a while back asking about needing a DDoS protected server: http://vpsboard.com/topic/495-251gbs-attack-incoming-flood-advice/?hl=ddos ... just to see how many providers would jump at offering him something; then he started sending private messages to providers...

I live in Winston-Salem, NC :lol:

@peterw As long as providers take steps to secure them, they will be fine. There are plenty of simple solutions to prevent SQL injections and such, and on top of that providers can use CloudFlare as a reverse proxy (it's running Nginx as well). So no, the entire industry won't come crashing down. ;)

@mpkossen IMHO I think that Vanilla will drag their feet just to keep you aa customer for as long as possible. The sooner you're out of there, the better you're off. I'd just invest in a decent dedicated hardware firewall solution with IP filtering just for LET and keep the site at CC. It's...

@mpkossen No one should really care unless it has an impact on them directly. Over-committing any resource is a bad idea, however ultimately it blows back in the provider's face. As a casual observer I can say that what most people don't like about CVPS is how Chris represents the company, how...

@MannDude this must be one long-a** DDoS attack...

@peterw yeah, I imagine it is. Imagine how exciting it will be when you will have to pay $30 for the lowest end VPS and close to a $100 to get something decent, like it was just a few short years ago. Then you'll miss this "crappy monoculture" that you like so much to laugh at!

@mpkossen Just bring your site over to us, we have DDoS mitigation with every plan. On top of that we can install a hardware firewall for you and provide filtering. BuyVM has DDoS filtered IPs and DDoS mitigation as well. There are many good choices to host LET on, you know... [Edit] - Why not...

@SeriesN I forgot the most important bit: they never missed an opportunity to let me know every time they replied that my service was unmanaged and therefore I shouldn't expect more support. I was like "wtf., I only expect for my VPS to work and not die on me unexpectedly!". I ended up getting a...

@SeriesN No they don't. Their nodes are ancient based on old AMD quad core CPUs from 2009, their I/O is crap and their customer service is non existent. Right before I ventured into the hosting business I got a couple of VPS servers with them for a client's project and the performance was horrid...

@Otakumatic Actually you will get better performance for your $7. Heck, our Xen nodes provide way better I/O than Linode, and we're releasing our SSD Cached Xen packages soon (very soon). And there are many other small providers who offer quality service for $7. So of course Linode is making a...

@MannDude no one offers backups for free unless they include it in a package and make you pay for them. Backups cost money, hardware, software, bandwidth, networking equipment, all of that costs money, including employees. So no, it's not just "Low End Companies", it's everyone. Linode for...

@MannDude Where can we start asking, cause I have at least two very short and to the point but very serious questions to ask, and I'm hoping that some minimal changes will be implemented after this. Thanks.

@fapvps YES
