    [Industry Question] How Do You Pay Support Staff?

    That's a good question. I would think in the early stages, it's a lot of 1 or 2 man shows of those that have a vested interest. Would be interesting to find out. I know a couple on here are techs for larger companies...

    VPSWiki.us Ideas?

    I'd like to know SuperMicro, HP, Dell, etc.  What types of CPUs, Memory, disk configurations, how many racks, etc.  Not like we have 3 of these, 5 of these, etc, but more of a loose we tend to go with Supermicro, etc. Perhaps it doesn't matter, but would be nice. I think part of me is more of a...

    Your motd screens

    Same as mine.... but WDQ has a pretty good idea...  I like this one... Might be something to implement. Sure would be nice knowing which provider I am at.

    VPSWiki.us Ideas?

    Perhaps what equipment is typically used... (even better if providers would state what they are using...)

    Running your own mail server

    Good tutorial! I'm about to repurpose another VPS so will use this instead of an utosetup with a panel and see how it goes... I'll be using Centos, but config files are config files. :)

    Falling off the Grid

    I've got OwnCloud working being between VPS's and Windows machines..then move it to a NAS for backup.  It really is doing a pretty good job with the last update. Haven't tried with the phone yet... Next attempt. (iPhone)  How well are the Contacts and Calendar working with multiple machines...

    Falling off the Grid

    As with anything, there will be concerns. I can't answer for the dev team. I am not them. A long the post there was suggestions about disabling, this that and the other... I don't know. I can say for what I am using for a personal use, it does it's work. Disabling the info mentioned would more...

    Falling off the Grid, Mk. II

    There's an app for OwnCloud on the iPhone also... just in case anyone doesn't want to do the work... I never thought about putting calibre on a Linux distro.. Hmmm... Opening up all kinds of opportunities extra work for me now... :)  Could be an interesting distro, perhaps roll-your-own ...

    Falling off the Grid

    No offense at all... I've only used it a short time and at this point nothing mission critical. If I move forward it would have to be with CPanel + whatever solution for VPS. :) I think, and just my opinion, that language barrier comes into play a lot there... I see a lot of abrasiveness at...

    Falling off the Grid

    It was one of the volunteer tech support guys (going through some bad things in life) that responded to a security analyst (who in the support techs defense, was extremely rude and belittling).  All issues were addressed immediately, tech stripped of his role, etc, etc. made it over to reddit...

    Falling off the Grid

    I use Centos, so out of the box works... Should be the same for the others and I think they were waiting on Dovecot 2... Here is a link to  someone who has the script. http://forums.zpanelcp.com/thread-6983.html?highlight=DEBIAN I am sure if this is here, then an official installer will be made...

    Best remote server monitoring solution?

    Nagios does pretty well!  I am almost tired of the emails though... Definitely need to properly configure it. Depending on what you are running there are a couple of good tutorials out there.

    Two-Factor Authentication

    Used to use RSA-IDs for two-factor authentication at several large companies. They were great until they were lost. (got expensive!)

    Falling off the Grid

    May want to check out ZPanel (http://www.zpanelcp.com/). It is an open-source hosting solution that has been recently updated with a nice theme.  It has a lot of built-in features including email using dovecot, postfix and all the other frills + the normal hosting solutions. Run it in-house if...

    Servers being used

    They list Dallas and Houston as locations but not the DC. Another that doesn't list the server type as well.
