I like it a lot. I tried using the tabbed (categories) version of Gmail but never could get used to having essentially three inboxes -- Inbox (the product)'s bundling is a much better way of categorizing things and the bundles have been surprisingly intelligent for me so far. The bundles/labels...

As someone who voted for Prometeus (which makes me about 3.5% of their total voters; not an insignificant sample), I beg to differ. iwStack has its own informational minisite, but it's a Prometeus service (it even says that on the top and bottom of the minisite) that you order and maintain...

CloudFlare takes up to 24 hours to provision SSL for newly added free domains. I think it starts activating as soon as you add the domain, so you should be able to wait to switch over DNS until it's ready. You can check the status in the SSL section of the domain's "CloudFlare settings" page...

Since it seems like these might be competing future services, here's Online's Cloud beta vs. OVH's new Classic VPS infrastructure beta: Online: http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2014/10/21/8mfw2LFEL432sFsd OVH: http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2014/10/21/KZUjtMo7KATkr7s4

There's Incapsula, but I wouldn't consider them as good overall. They also have pretty low bandwidth limits.

How'd you get the 20,000 free?

DaveA comes across as an arrogant douchebag on LET -- half his posts are dedicated to bashing other providers -- so that doesn't really surprise me.

Post-mortem's up here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/route-leak-incident-on-october-2-2014/ tl;dr It was a route leak by a Latin American ISP and wasn't CloudFlare's fault.

Google. I used to use OpenDNS but I don't like the by-default browser hijacking they do.

LiNKCity predates Google Fiber by about six years, but it's been a financial disaster for the city since it started. Last year Google agreed to pay to use North Kansas City's fiber as a pass-through to other areas, and that was supposed to be a financial turning point, but apparently even that...

Minecraft is today's LEGO -- there's really no bigger brand for kids today. Microsoft didn't buy a game, they bought a generation.  Anyways $2.5 billion isn't much of a financial risk for Microsoft -- they make that much cash in about a month. I think Mojang made something like $300 million...

Even better, Crissic's last LEB special is still active so you can get the 256MB VPS for just $10 a year (and still add on the WHMCS license): https://my.crissic.net/cart.php?a=add&pid=82%20&billingcycle=annually Or there's 512MB for only $5 more...

Oh, they get to use that because their offices are in New York. Their first (NYC1) datacenter isn't in NY proper, either, but North Bergen, NJ (Equinix NY7).   DO's with Telx there.

Almost exactly the same as everywhere else, with the exception of maybe one or two different drinks depending on the country. Starbucks is all about standardization. Other American chains, like McDonald's, localize way more.

Tip: if you like bolder coffee, try Green Mountain's Dark Magic K-Cups.

I kind of have to agree. Not letting him post offers in order to protect other users -- that I could agree with since the offer guidelines specifically talk about "trustworthy vendors." Banning him from the forums entirely -- that seems overreaching.

Maybe it's just my eyes, but the grey on grey text in full paragraphs like on the management and datacenter pages is really uncomfortable to read.

I agree it's not the singular most important thing, but all else being equal 85 extra ms is 85 extra ms, regardless of whether it's added on by a local resolver, recursive resolver, root server, or the authoritative nameserver.
