    How visitors can trust on your hosting business?

    Ahhh well, this isn't a truism.... There are slews of small companies that couldn't care in the least about customers.  Just check out most of the companies that show up on Lowend*. Big companies aren't really any better on average.  They are just less likely to do stupid, but I point at EIG...

    CentOS released for ARM devices!

    There are real ARM 64 bit boards out there that are many many core and with real backplanes.  Issue is you are buying a complete solution with such, the CPU, the server chasis, RAM, drives, all of it.   So the units aren't cheap whatsoever.   With that you get odd vendor lockin, not like IBM or...

    CentOS released for ARM devices!

    I know CentOS is the OS of choice for many web hosts and I assume some of them use it otherwise day to day. CentOS has released a new version with ARM support: Source: http://news.softpedia.com/news/centos-7-linux-officially-released-for-raspberry-pi-2-banana-pi-and-cubietruck-497891.shtml

    Hello Kitty Hacked

    I agree. Every year more and more companies seek to collect data that they have ZERO legitimate use having.  That's the core issue and this collection clearly is for 3rd party resale, data aggregation, related markets. Should be stiff penalties when such occurs and especially where said...

    WeLoveServers Sold to HostWinds

    Yeah, @Hostwinds might want to check on resellers and anyone who bought these recent biz-in-a-box annuals.  They were big buy in relatively speaking.  Like $800+ a year lump sum.  Likely you have inflated sales numbers too from that, if they actually roped folks into it.  The creative for this...

    Fine line :)  It's news to the customers and thusly should be sent directly to them. Not general nature of news in media though.

    Hello Kitty Hacked

    3.3 Sanrio 'customers', fans of Hello Kitty have had their data hacked and put out in public. Reminder to those you with children and young ones in your circle to create fake accounts for online use.  Fake name, fake location, wrong age, etc. Source...

    WeLoveServers Sold to HostWinds

    WeLoveServers = massive spam = no competent abuse department = no handling abuse complaints = no suspensions or terminations. ^^^^^^ THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF LOWEND* COMPANIES, at least the high growth ones. @Hostwinds you vetted this deal with WeLoveServers and everything came back all...

    Privatelayer/Rackend drama, accusations of fraud

    This smells so much like the Burst.net vs. VolumeDrive drama from years back. Vendor gets stuck by customer.  Customer starts doing negative things to customers blaming it on the DC.  DC steps in, inserts itself into the conversation... But does so with scorching data. James McCreary is a...

    Quadranet Needs to BAN SMTP. Spammer UTOPIA.

    120% is a lot but the way they factor numbers at Senderbase is not linear.  The math is greatly multiplied.  You go from a 7.0 to an 8.0 it isn't like you sent 1 million more pieces of spam.  It's like you sent 7 million and then tossed at least millions more on top. I need to document the...

    Quadranet Needs to BAN SMTP. Spammer UTOPIA.

    Hey, you guys are first and been riding top 3 for weeks if not months.  No grand scam in making you guys number one, you folks earn that rank on a daily basis.  I don't own Cisco so, be assured there is no fiddling with your rank to meet my needs.  I just wish you'd clean the place up and have...

    Quadranet Needs to BAN SMTP. Spammer UTOPIA.

    Well, I just talked the other day with a provider in QN LAX, and they are having constant issues with ranges from QN on various blacklists.  Not their customers who are the issue, but other Quadranet customers soiling the larger ranges.  Collateral damage in essence,  the effects of having your...

    ENDURANCE INTERNATIONAL GROUP gets served with subpoena

    Here's my call on EIG. They'll buckle, eventually.  They will settle with SEC for some fixed amount, and promise to adjust their accounting practices.  Same BS reason about focusing on business and more feasible thing to do.. All while not admitting fault.

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    Well, going at it for free, is ehh... I can respect that.   I think you should take what Kossen was getting and donate it to your favorite charity.  You win, the charity wins, we all get more feel good rainbow points. Seriously, I've only seen the sites MAKE MONEY --- investing in the sites...

    Before I start , let me say @jarland am glad you have moved forward in life and congrats on the little one and living up to the parental responsibility. In today's world, many fail to do such. In fairness @jarland is your role in LE* one that is being compensated directly by monthly payment...
