How long will the migration process take? I know it likely will depend on disk utilization, but can you give us any idea?

Probably a good idea. It would serve several useful purposes. AFAIK, you guys are one of the few legit companies operating on CC's network. Switching to owned IP ranges would separate you from the rest of the crowd that are either shell companies or n00bs attracted by the artificially low...

1. Is DDoS Protection important to you? Does it add value to the service you are buying from? DDoS protection is not very valuable to me right now, but then I've never had to deal with a DDoS and try to avoid getting in to one. Still, even though I don't have much use for it, no one can say it...

Skype just notified me that it's RamNode's birthday, which I happen to recall means that it is in fact Nick's birthday. So, a very happy birthday to you @Nick_A - hope you're enjoying it, and best wishes to you and your endeavors in the coming year!

Just pulled off my first win, and happened to be next to a guy I just met who plays - and hasn't won yet. Here it is:

Thanks all for the nice comments. On your advice, I've made a few changes. One of the bigger things is I've optimised the images, bringing their sizes down by 60%+, which should help loading times. I don't want to set far future expires headers right now as I'll be changing stuff a lot, and most...

Just finished rebuilding my site DStrout.net with WordPress and a nice (free) theme from CreativeMarket. So I'm shamelessly asking you to visit and tell me how amazing it is. Note that I don't have a whole lot of content filled in yet, though part of that is because I'm waiting on a few clients...

Any idea why traceroutes to 72.71.247.90 time out? Don't see why it would, the IP is up and accessible to me, and the traceroute does get most of the way there, down to the ISP level.

This only happens with .eu domains?

At the time of the DSD offer, their SSL certificate was expired. Still is, of course. Also, FWIW, I found this on LET from back in January.

Oh wow, more expensive colo with a non-voluntary move to an unnamed DC? What a deal!

You can get HTTPS by adding https://main. to the beginning of the order URLs. Doesn't work well (resources, i.e. images and stuff, don't load), but it's secure. What I'd like to know is if IPv6 is available.

My Skype username is listed on my VPSB profile, FWIW.

My 96MB, mostly idle OpenVZ box with you has 4096 entropy available. A 1024MB OVZ box I have with another provider not running haveged has 149 entropy available. So yeah.

FWIW, I like CreativeMarket. Not subscription based, it's individual sellers. But every week they have three free "items" (themes, fonts, graphics), always of very high quality. Six free items if you like them on Facebook. Good stuff, I recommend them if you need a nice theme.

It seems you're using HostBill, at least partially. I think the reason, for instance, DO has been so successful is that they wrote everything from the ground up. Trying to integrate everything in this way and throw in hourly billing is not going to be easy.

Not much, but I wrote a quick I'm hoping to have something much bigger up for this contest, but I might not have time :(

Cool, good to know. So what's to stop me from ordering two or three dozen per VPS? (I won't, but...) Also, while you're here, could you go ahead and assign me the one IP I ordered?

I logged in to my RamNode client area today and while browsing around came upon this: ...Wow, free IP! Yes please! I imagine I'll have to pay to renew, so maybe this is like drug dealers handing out the first batch for free :) Still, cool deal considering that RamNode usually charges a bit...

That explains it alright. They must be losing lots of money to people doing this sort of thing. If you're going to run a VPS service with hourly billing, you gotta get billing right. They should make it credit based for the first bit, like you have to start with $5 credit on the account or...
