The really good stuff is restricted, yes, but here at VPSB all we care about is servers, which is why I mention the free Windows Server license. That said, I can't wait to get in to Liberty University later this year, where I'll get free Windows licenses.

Well, Hurricane Electric has a big network. I'm not surprised that they have such good uptime. But anything without redundancy has the potential for downtime.

Ah, didn't know it was built in - I always assumed it was a plugin. Too bad it's an all-or-nothing. As a customer, I always like seeing that a company uses it. I don't mind taking a quick survey (and indeed I find the survey to be just the right length), and it shows me that a company cares...

Yeah, a lot of people hold on to their .edu addresses for a while. I even just attended several online colleges, taking only one or two classes, and still got a .edu address from each. I have about 5 or 6 at this point. I never have trouble getting free(ish) stuff from "my" school. Dropbox...

I don't really know many of the members here well enough to know if this is worth anything, but if any of you have a .edu e-mail address from your school (even if you haven't attended for a while and still have access to the address), you can use Microsoft's Dreamspark program to get free (and...

I've been using my own DNS network for a while; none of my important stuff uses registrar DNS. Could my network be DDoSed in a second? Yup. Will it be? Of course not - too small. But monitoring ensures that even if it is, it can be switched over to a reliable third-party DNS service by using my...

While some (maybe even many - I didn't read that whole list!) may be silly, I actually think it would be a good thing if these TLDs could gain some traction. .Com is such a crowded namespace, and it often doesn't even mean "commercial" any more. If people could get used to seeing them, I think...

On topic please? We now know it's Internet.b[eesknee]s, so now that we've figured that out, can we figure out the future of the new TLDs?

A few companies in the VPS space use a WHMCS plugin that, when the customer marks a ticket as closed, sends them an e-mail requesting that they review how the ticket was handled. This review includes rating of each of the staff involved in the ticket, overall handling of the ticket, etc. Most...

FWIW, I used it just now and it's working.

Well, realistically you would only expect maybe one or two of the new extensions to be relevant to any given business. That's only maybe $70/year extra, tops. No problem there. I feel sorry for you having to transfer those hundreds (it must be up there if you're saving $600/year) of domains -...

As I mentioned, I successfully upgraded one of my VPSes with the coupon. If you wanted this coupon applied to a current service without upgrading, you'd have to open a ticket with the Accounts department and see what they say. I suspect you might be allowed - I've changed to a higher value...

Sidenote, but I can never take Internet.bs seriously (even though I've heard they're a good registrar) because whenever I see the name, I always think "Internet bulls**t". I use NameCheap and Name.com, both of which are offering the new Donuts TLDs.

A lot of the new TLDs that have been in the pipeline for several months are starting to drop now, and I'm wondering what y'all here think of them. What will it mean for the future of the web? Will there be problems with sites that don't recognize anything longer than .museum (for instance...

Used the coupon to upgrade one of my older RamNode boxes. Good stuff - I'm never hesitant to put code in production on a RamNode box. BTW, when does this coupon expire? I know that since it's on my account now it will be there for life, but when will you stop accepting new orders using it?

I thought at first you meant $15/year - I see now you mean monthly, not yearly, but always specify if there's any doubt. As to which is the best, the answer is "it depends". What do you need the VPS for? Databases? Fast hard drive (better yet: SSD) is a must, so that RamNode box is a good deal...

OK, this might be a terrible idea due to how much work would be involved, but that's for others to decide. And, since I don't have the money or know-how to make this happen, it's for others to implement too if it's a good idea. With that out of the way, here's the idea: an anycasted VPS...

I think perhaps the main issue is one of intention. In other words, upon (re)consideration, I would say that a datacenter is a building or portion of a building constructed or arranged for the purpose of housing servers and connecting to the Internet for exchanging and making available data...

Yeah, the helicopter game is easiest with a mouse.
