True enough!  B) It could be 75 degrees one day and below freezing the next. Pretty crazy. It's happened.

But just because you are large enough doesn't mean you should from a financial stand point. You can just as easily get space reallocated and you can announce anywhere long as you have an ASN with a LOA of course. Yes, I agree the mileage varies with the costs per DC or upstream provider...

We just got hit again in two week period in Oklahoma. Ice age indeed!

Easy enough if you can justify. Better hurry we are in Phase 3 for our region.

Having the number resources (PI Space) is really great but along with that are expenses and infrastructure costs to be considered. I get Spamhaus has a mission and many people use them. But to label a provider as "spam host / operation" without concrete evidence is completely wrong. This could...

LLCs are not incorporated but rather organized. You can only incorporate a entity as a Corporation S/C, trusts and etc. If i remember correctly. LLC have articles of oragnization, and operating agreements versus bylaws and articles of incorporation. LLCs are shielded from many and most...

This makes sense. 

We agree on companies making acquisitions. I also see your analogy. However, I fundamentally disagree with making the notion that "Legit businesses are proud and don't mind...". Don't get things twisted, I don't know much about Jon B and in no way shape or form defending how he operates.  I know...

Live chat is just something else to manage and account for fiscally. If you think you'll capture more customers with live chat then go for it. If not, folks shouldn't decide on a company because they have live chat or not, it should be other attributes. But oh how the hosting industry as changed...

Lol folks say the same about Oklahoma. But most of your fiber runs through the Okie land to get to Texas.  ;)

I agree to a certain extent. But even when I'm out and folks ask about the company (OCOSA/CubixCloud) I represent/work for I am very humble about it. It really just depends on ones up bringing. Folks now days have no humility, respect for others nor self-respect for that matter. I believe in...

Most times you have to specifically request for IPMI Port. Most providers throw them in or charge at least $5/mo. for the port. When ever we deploy servers from our owned DC or others we make sure its there and available. One thing folks typically forget about is keeping firmware update on the...

This is very true. It's murphy's law. When we deal with businesses they care about the following: 1. What happened? 2. Why did it happened? 3. When will it be up? That's it. Communication is everything. Granted, having a provider that promises 99% and delivers 50% is not a good provider in...

I'd do the following which is no different from now except the pay offs: Make sure taxes were paid. Pay my tithes 10% Pay off all of my / family / friends debts. Fund kids college funds completely Fund kids weddings. Setup trust fund. Invest additional capital in existing businesses...

From a stand point of mx spooling you can setup as many spoolers as you need. With VPSes so affordable now days you can spin up 2 to 3 1GB or 2GB spoolers across different providers or one provider with multiple locations. We like to use Postfix/CentOS combo with Amavis-new/clamd/spamassasin...

Lol. I agree!  :popcorn:  (kettle corn)

+1 This makes the best sense and works if you can negotiate with your merchant provider. There will always be those that prefer to pay with PayPal or another way however.

Run your own server or signup for email service somewhere. My thoughts are what does it matter if you have nothing to hide? Most broadband providers are subjected to CALEA anyway so not a big deal. Keep it clean and you have nothing to worry about.

You do have an alternative to Stripe, which would be Authorize.Net. We've used Authorize.Net for almost 10 years at OCOSA and have not had one issue. They have a powerful control panel that allows you to run reports, search for suspicious transactions, unsettled transactions and even process...
