    So now that pot is legal there, what's it like? I feel like everyone would stoned all the time. From the coffee shop employees (that were probably high anyway) to the dude checking my bags at the airport. Was joking around earlier with restaurant / bar ideas to start in CO. Dispensary + bar =...

    DDoS Filtering: CNServers VS Staminus VS BlackLotus VS CloudFlare

    I suppose not all of these are directly comparable, as the last two are generally more expensive options than the first two, though price doesn't mean they're better or worse. As most of you know, the traffic here is filtered via CNServers. It does it's job well the vast majority of the time...

    Do you accept Bitcoins as a payment method? Why? Why not? (Plus other questions)

    Curious who here accepts payments via Bitcoins for web hosting clients and how that's going for you. I think there might be a little reluctance from some to do business with someone paying via Bitcoin initially, and was wondering how the clients who pay with it are in terms of their quality...

    Do you guys use FraudRecord or similar blacklists?

    Was curious if people here use FraudRecord to deny incoming orders from customers with a history or if you report your trouble customers. I love the idea in the theory but I'm sure it could be easily abused by hosts too. Is that project still going strong?

    Which companies need reviews?

    I was approached with an idea by a community member and I thought it was a great! In short, I'll be funding 3 - 6 months worth of service from several companies so that he can write detailed and unbiased reviews.

    Free cPanel reference posters. (24"X36")

    Today I discovered cPanel will send you free posters to use as reference when dealing with, handling clients with cPanel installed. It's a great alternative to their gaudy 35MB single page PDFs that kill my every document viewer I have on my Linux desktop. Get them...

    What tools are available to monitor for abuse?

    Seems like service abuse is a reality of any segment of the industry. Doesn't matter if it's a $7/mo 'low end' VPS or a high dollar VPS, companies always experience customers who either outright abuse the service or have outgrown what a standard VPS can realistically offer them. What are you...

    Locking down WHMCS?

    Best practices? I just recently installed WHMCS to migrate advertisers away from BoxBilling. Aside from doing normal server-side stuff that I do on all boxes, any tips in particular for WHMCS? How do you stay secure in a sea of bored teenagers trying to exploit you?
