    Getting spammed LSN adverts by FraudRecord?

    If you want to have a voice, sponsor FraudRecord and then your feedback has more weight because you can vote with your wallet. Harzem has given everybody the option to stop these ads, but from what I see only 6 companies took that opportunity to try to stop them. EDIT: I'm not defending the...

    Getting spammed LSN adverts by FraudRecord?

    I'd also like to clarify that the e-mail was not sent out from our IPs. Our reverse proxy only allows port 80 and 443. I sent Harzem a message so hopefully in the future it will be possible to unsubscribe from newsletters without impacting announcements and important updates.

    Getting spammed LSN adverts by FraudRecord?

    Weird, the only way to unsubscribe from the newsletters is to also unsubscribe from "announcements and important notifications", that sucks. :(

    Getting spammed LSN adverts by FraudRecord?

    There was already a discussion about this and after much debate on how much people were willing to pay, it was decided that FraudRecord would always be free and a paid model would ruin the idea of FraudRecord (although you are welcome to donate to their cause if you see fit, but it's not...

    VPS Request for a P2H Site?

    I mean that I give you servers that are worth money so your business can grow and in return, you give me a percentage of your company so I have some ownership in it. If you don't want to give me a percentage, I can make up a payment plan where you pay me back for the servers plus interest after...

    VPS Request for a P2H Site?

    Send me your business plan along with a resume detailing your past experience in the field, then outline the steps to register a company in your country and I'll consider sponsoring you a few servers for a percentage of your company.

    Windows Desktop Partition Question

    Disk Management is fine for expanding drives but when it comes to shrinking drives it's very hit or miss, and by miss I mean restoring the partition from backups. I think I've successfully shrunk a partition one or two times with it and they weren't a system partition. I've had 100% success with...

    Windows Desktop Partition Question

    +1 for Partition Wizard. I have it on all of my Windows installs and it's amazing.

    Proposed updates to rules -- A discussion

    I thought about that but spammers wouldn't be above buying "thank yous".

    The Pirate Bay Raided By Police, Site Down

    The original content that Netflix and Amazon are putting out is 100x better than most of the BS on TV so I'll keep paying them if they keep outperforming what passes for TV these days (except a few good shows that will most likely be cancelled when they start to get really good).

    Proposed updates to rules -- A discussion

    It would be nice if there was a way to replace the "X posts" requirement with an "X number of characters" one. Now that would be a nice plugin that enforces posts with substance and thought put into them.

    Proposed updates to rules -- A discussion

    I've always gone with 10 quality posts and 7 days before posting ads on my forums in the past, but the times are changing and, like you said, the phrase "quality posts" is subjective and won't curb spammers. One feature that MyBB added to their promotion system was adding reputation in the mix...

    SolusVM and secure passwords still do not work?

    @Francisco I haven't needed a hard drink since I stopped shelling out hundreds of dollars a month for a sub-par control panel. ;)

    SolusVM and secure passwords still do not work?

    @Francisco thanks for the correction, I knew the problem was within the communication between SolusVM and the host node I just didn't know where.

    SolusVM and secure passwords still do not work?

    Unfortunately the allowed characters are limited by the API's ability. This is why I highly recommend the following 2 options: For Providers: Don't let client's pick their own password on sign-up, it will break the API and the VPS (i.e. no IP address assigned) if the client uses a complex...

    Should hosts provide a backup service?

    I got fed up with SolusVM a long time ago so I wrote our own control panel for our OpenVZ VPSs, it was really simple and you don't need to be good at programming to write a replacement, I think I had the first version built in less than a month while investing a few hours each weekend. For KVM...

    Should hosts provide a backup service?

    Here's our current setup: https://securedragon.net/clients/announcements/485/Backup-frequency-changed.html I've been wanting to find a better solution but it's on the back burner while I work on other higher priority things. We're also giving clients the ability to manage their own backups...

    Should hosts provide a backup service?

    Also keep in mind that disk space is the cheap part, bandwidth is usually the costly part when you're backing up hundreds of gigabytes at a time to another location over a 1Gbps port.

    Should hosts provide a backup service?

    If you are going to offer it make sure you CYA in your Terms of Service. If your backups fail for any reason or you can't restore the exact data they need, the amount of rage you will experience will be like no other. Clients who NEED backups and don't do their own backups will use their...
