    Your biggest pain as a provider

    I'm confused, growth is good :P Plan smart and bam no stress. I have 3 nodes in Canada just because when I had only 1 it sold out in a matter of hours. I may be spending a little extra but you won't hear anyone complaining about performance :) Any I have the extra capacity in case someone...

    24 Hour Test

    Hehe. @WetPi, no one here is gonna help you turn key a business. SSL is a basic must. If your unable to google and setup an SSL certificate, this is the wrong industry for you. Honestly, if this is the first SSL certificate you have ever setup, this is the wrong industry for you. We have plenty...

    Why the hosting industry and what made you stay?

    Became interested many years ago in technology. Was luckily immersed in tech at a very young age. Think 5-6 y/o and has been my greatest passion since. Fast forward to 2000 or so and I met up with a local guy who was, at the time, running a free web hosting service. At the time, very few free...

    Your biggest pain as a provider

    Wouldn't a business that is not planning for these types of things fail for one reason or another at some point. Very likely. I don't see much wrong with yearly plans. As long as your budgeting things correctly it can be done. Though hard, and as you said you might float a month or two. Anyone...

    WHMCS Two Factor Authentication

    I use it, I'd hope my customers are also. Might need to give the feature more exposure though.

    Which companies need reviews?

    As it's been echoed here already. I think this is a great idea! For everyone, hosts and users alike. Not that I don't trust anyone here. For safety reasons I would not reimburse until review is delivered.

    Another movie shooting

    Michael Moore? Not to mention, is most situations it will be over before your able to actually react. If your able to react there's also a greater statistical chance you will still be harmed. You must ask yourself. Are my shoes/etc worth my life and/or his. 99% of the time the answer to that...

    What Backup Software Do YOU Use?

    I sucked at typing that. :) Let me try again. Distinguishing products this time. ... Licensepal and bacula4hosts? Good luck. They do not need licensepal to handle any advertising for them. bacula4hosts is a big boy in the backup scene. You will never see lower pricing then you have seen on...

    Another movie shooting

    Please don't take what I said as a need to hide the fact you are carrying a weapon. Sometimes though, it is appropriate. Movie theatre, in my mind.. Would be appropriate to carry concealed. Ankle holster, hell your sitting anyways :D Sometimes the situation may call for something more...

    Hi powered wireless?

    I have used engenius before in many big deployments.  Think hotels etc :)  Also had the luck of managing a ~10m .11b setup for a few.  If I remember correctly this was ubnt equipment. Very good products either way you slice it.

    Sorry MannDude, I felt this needed to be changed.  I agree with your point but personally feel the issue is a bit deeper.  I was taught to respect weapons from a very young age and feel everyone should be taught the same.  I am from a big military and fire/rescue family.   I don't want to say...

    What Backup Software Do YOU Use?

    As you have said nothing concerning what does not work for you...  It makes me wonder.  You also claim it is hard to setup...?  Seriously?  Copy and paste to install and fill in backup site information? I do agree, please don't hate on a product because you can't make it work.  I've personally...

    What Backup Software Do YOU Use?

    I personally have no issues with cpremote and use it across both locations I offer web hosting at this time, with no need or want to change.  It just works, for me. Currently my OpenVZ offering is backed up with Bacula and I supported the Bacula guys to bring Bacula4Hosts to SolusVM and KVM...

    2014 Android rooted cheap tablet recommendations

    Booting off an SD card is going to be largely dependent on the speed of the card.  SD cards are rated and have classes.  Higher class = faster min. write speed.  Also, the device accessing the SD card may only be able to access it at a certain speed.  Do you know what class your card is?  Most...

    2014 Android rooted cheap tablet recommendations

    I had a Motorola Xoom until it was left in a window and it rained.  Who would expect it to rain in the desert.  Meh.  Though on point, it is / was a great tablet.  Even for it's age.  I know you don't want much as far as having to root / etc.  I wouldn't suggest one unless you are willing to...

    VPS acting as VPN

    You would likely need to power cycle your modem to lease a new public IP.  Even this sometimes doesn't work with all providers.

    Customers, what to do with them?

    In my book, opening a dispute, wrongly, is fraud.  I will not compromise at which point and will deal directly with paypal, etc.  This involves extra work on my behalf, instead of clicking one button in WHMCS now I must waste time conversing with paypal.  I will win the dispute and keep funds...

    04Jan Outage

    It may be an expense, but safety should always come first.  Why not replace all questionable cables?  Understandably, you say this is rare.  Is it worth the chance of someone not catching it and something turning to rubble?  I've had a house burn down and can tell you it's not worth the chance...
