    24khost, where are you?

    Dear Former 24KHost Clients, As you were notified before, 24KHost has gone out of business. We had managed to keep your services online as 24KHost ceased operations, but unfortunately, 24KHost did not provide us with notice or a lot of information about the services prior to us having to step...

    Market Research - KVM Pricepoint. What would YOU want to pay?

    Market research sure has gotten easy.  You just ask a question in a forum rather than actually researching.

    EaseVPS covertly sells customers to MyRSK

    I guess I should add, fraud and criminal activity isn't protected by limited liability, if a person is committing fraud through a business, then that is a criminal act not a civil act. Part of the blame lies on the consumer, by supporting low end hosts annual plans.  No company can...

    EaseVPS covertly sells customers to MyRSK

    It would be pretty hard to have strict liability firms.  First, business creates jobs and more businesses create competition that help consumers, so decreasing the desire to start a business by making your personal assets liable would not necessarily be a good one. This would also be near...

    Best way to backup whole OVZ vps?

    Making the file only readable by root would be a good step to take.   I use mailx too, I never knew that nail was an alias though.  I always used mail/mailx.

    EaseVPS covertly sells customers to MyRSK

    Yes, it does depend on wording for contract only sales.  However, if the entire business entity is acquired, wording doesn't matter because the new company owns the old company outright, including its name, assets, and customer contracts.  You have a contract with AllTel Wireless, Verizon buys...

    EaseVPS covertly sells customers to MyRSK

    To be honest, this happens in business all the time.  It isn't specific to hosting companies, and customers do not have a choice really.  If the company, or contracts, are acquired, then your contract is valid through the new company. This is the same as if you have a loan from a bank and a new...

    Best way to backup whole OVZ vps?

    * Edit: I didn't realize nail worked as well.  Interesting.   Nail/mail does require mailx though (yum install mailx) You could also use --all-databases with root access for MySQL to make one backup of every single database rather than doing it per database.

    CloudAtCost.com

    What datacenter?  There is barely any information on Fibernetics.  They look to be a small VOIP business, not a national telecom like they claim.  Do you have a link? The fact that it is VMWare makes this even more suspicious.  VMWare carries licensing costs which would make it implausible to...

    CloudAtCost.com

    Looks like just a beta service.  Probably comes with stipulations and eventually they will raise prices a lot when they work out their problems.  I've never heard of Fibernetics but their claim of being the "fastest growing and largest" telecommunications company in Canada seems to be a bit...

    Recommend boooks on LInux for Beginners

    Well, you could read up on the linux kernel and such but it probably wouldn't do as much good being an end-user.  A good place to start would be http://www.linuxmint.com/documentation.php I doubt there has been any good books written about Linux Mint, it just isn't a common enough OS. What...

    And this is why you should ALWAYS backup your VPS!

    DigitalOcean isn't a true cloud provider.  The only thing "cloud" about DigitalOcean is having hourly billing.

    Which OS will you support

    Does it have to be the distribution?  Seems like it would benefit everyone if you donated to the Linux Kernel, driver development, and applications like GNOME, OpenOffice, Apache, PHP, etc :)

    IO Ping Score

    1.)  In the last test, why are you using seek rate and sequential together?  Those conflict in my mind.  Seek rate is a good way of testing random I/O. 2.)  For someone who hosts servers, you should know what a good IOPS is ;).  3k iops is the most realistic one on there since you ran it using...

    24khost, where are you?

    I highly doubt that, especially in the US.  Even large merchants like PayPal have to abide by Visa and Mastercard policies, I do believe they would run into issues if they were causing problems for users who file for chargebacks through appropriate measures.

    24khost, where are you?

    We had only arranged to takeover their VPS clientele.  24khost has ceased operations, so unfortunately, you already were dropped as a customer.  We only got everything back up for November so their clients weren't left in the dark.  The web server will be shut down in December.

    24khost, where are you?

    Do you have information on which clients are not back up?  Feel free to email me or have them email me.  Unfortunately this whole process has been a bit disjointed between us and them.   At the time of us first discussing, we had no idea of the sense of urgency and the fact that clients were...

    24khost, where are you?

    I do not have access to their web site or I would have.  I have not heard from 24khost in several days. I emailed all the customers that we had records of.  It is possible that my email did not get through, but unfortunately I have no other way of notifying them except for the email addresses...

    Buying HDD's in USA? Recommendations needed

    I've bought 100s of hard drives off newegg and see a very low failure rate.   However, I am not always satisfied with UPS shipping so your problem might be with your UPS route.   I have had a lot more issues with shipping with UPS than FedEx. Secondly, I have noticed a higher rate of failure...

    24khost, where are you?

    Matt, Our network and servers are online, we have monitoring enabled on all and nothing is showing down.  I'm assuming it is an issue on your end, please send a traceroute.
