I know I have a few customers here that frequent things.  Could you kindly post some reviews :) I dont seem to find any on here or LET so trying to fill this gap.

Yep LSI Cards when I had the 2 die on me during the power outage, swap, power up and nothing was needed :)

I posted to this thread but dont see my post...

Not right now, but I can setup a billing plan where the threshold is closer or further towards empty.

I chose convert to USD and transfer to bank rather than keep BTC and deal with the fluctuating values.  Spares me if there's a currency crash on the BTC side.

FYI we have started accepting Bitcoin for payments utilizing bitpay as our processor.

Yeah and append single to the end of your boot line in KVM and the host is in a KVM.  Sure they have to reboot it, but it still comes down to if you trust your host or not.  Not how easy it is to get into the machine.

If ARIN said no more IPv4 allocations until you can prove your IPv6 deployments are live, these would last longer.

If AT&T got a /12 another one will probably be going to Verizon Wireless as well. I say we cross 1.5 before the end of Sept as the big requests get served.
