    Opening a business in another country

    There are some risks involved but if you cover all of your bases and make sure you are following the local laws and paying taxes, you shouldn't have any problems.

    Getting spammed LSN adverts by FraudRecord?

    I wouldn't mind taking a look at that situation. Seems quite childish for a provider to report someone as fraud for leaving a bad review. The correct way to handle the situation is to reach out to the customer and attempt to settle dispute.

    SoftLayer - Even More New Locations: Japan and Mexico

    Actually, from what I heard, Japans internet infrastructure is quite solid. As for the discount, all you need to do is contact their sales team. Its been the same way for discounts every time they release new locations.

    Phone verification?

    In all honesty, it is much easier to have an employee make the call. For us, we have assigned one of our night system monitors to verify accounts via phone call or verification documentation. It only costs us about $35 for the phone line per month with pretty reasonable rates for out of country...

    SoftLayer - Even More New Locations: Japan and Mexico

    The primary reason why Softlayer is blowing up much more quickly now is because they are operated by IBM. IBM itself has billions invested in the cloud industry primarily for government contracts and enterprise clients. Its nice to see the two expanding much faster then anyone could have...

    Getting spammed LSN adverts by FraudRecord?

    I agree it only works if there is trust between all parties. I only wish more hosting providers would realize that it is very much possible to coexist with one another considering the sheer size of the industry. If not only on a client reputation aspect but on an overall operations aspect. I...

    Do you sell domain names too?

    We offer domain registrations as a convenience to our customers mainly. While there is not a huge profit margin on domain registrations, some clients do appreciate it. As an individual, I would never register a domain through a hosting provider for the same reason everyone else is mentioned...

    Good DC to startup with?

    With that budget and the willingness to enter into a contract, I would contact PhoenixNAP, they may be able to help you. We do quite a bit of business with them between renting and collocating servers and they have always had a reputation for cost effectiveness and uptime.

    Getting spammed LSN adverts by FraudRecord?

    I honestly can't imagine this as an issue. While "kiddie" hosts do use Fraud Record, more established hosting companies such as the ones you see on their sponsors list contribute significantly. I know throughout our network, our verifications team is instructed to utilize the system for...

    Getting spammed LSN adverts by FraudRecord?

    Removing the code is indeed easy as its only a simple line or two of coding in the addon. Still, from past experience, I highly doubt it will be the last email to be sent however I do hope I am wrong. We shall wait and see I suppose.

    OVH vs Hetzner dedi

    In the past we used OVH for our Europe based hosting brands but always had issues with network availability. At the present, we do have a OVH server for storage and it does the job, just not sure if you would want to use them for a public facing server.

    Why do people send spam?

    We can only hope people have become smarter these days when it comes to spam emails. I myself receive well into the thousands of spam emails per week unfortunately. The best way to help stop the spam is as a hosting provider, submit firm abuse reports to the IP whois registrant and hope they...

    Getting spammed LSN adverts by FraudRecord?

    What is happening here is LSN is paying for an advertisement service through Fraudrecord. In addition, I can almost guarantee Fraud record is getting some sort of affiliate kickback. The forum post previously referenced was one that I had created on Fraudrecord forums and to this day have yet to...
