    Burst.net Using Expired SSL Certificate.

    It's a simple mistake that can happen to anyone, but the fact that it's been sitting like that for days, publicly discussed in forums and still remains expired -- not good.

    Child labor in the low end segment

    Exploiting child labor is appalling and unnecessary. If ones business model hinges upon the use of cheap child labor, then (aside from being morally wrong) that is a business model that will fail.

    Self-hosted alternative to Tinychat?

    HipChat is running a self-hosted server beta -- https://www.hipchat.com/server They come out with updates fairly regularly. Someone above posted that HipChat does not have video chat -- well now they do: https://www.hipchat.com/press They also integrate sceen-sharing, but I haven't tried out...

    IP Jacking : My experience / story / testing

    Taronyu is saying he's not surprised -- he's not implying that being a budget datacenter is a valid excuse.

    How you handle DDOS Customer

    From the perspective of the host, it definitely matters. A customer that is the target of a DDoS attack on the level of 30-40 times per month is just bad for business -- auto-null or no auto-null. What happens if the attacker gets tired of seeing his target pop back online after an hour? He...

    How you handle DDOS Customer

    It's great to have a pre-defined ticket reply message ready for these types of abuse issues. You run into the same recurring discussion over and over: 1. Customer gets hit with DDoS. 2. Net admin null routes customer. 3. Customer gets on trouble ticketing system in a rage. 4. Back and forth...

    Coolest traceroute tool? I think so

    Wow, that tool is a great find. I'll definitely be adding this to my toolbox of network diagnostic utilities. When the traceroutes converge though -- I'm wondering which ping time they choose to display...

    Who is going to disappear first - Burst.net/DigiPlus vs. volumeDrive

    If there were ever a worldwide nuclear war, only cockroaches and BurstNET would remain  :lol: They rank too well on too many search terms not to enjoy a continual stream of new customers. A botched migration won't put them out of business. They've endured many major outages in the past, several...

    How do you "filter" orders?

    +1 To check for fraud we will typically: 1. Check MaxMind score. 2. Check FraudRecord for listings. 3. Verify geo::IP matches up with billing location. 4. Verify IP address owner belongs to an ISP that serves end-users rather than web servers (e.g., Comcast vs SoftLayer). 5. Credit card...

    Self-hosted alternative to Tinychat?

    Have you ever used HipChat before? We use it for our internal company chat -- works great. Works on PC, Mac and mobile (have not tried *nix). I believe you can also self-host as well.

    A free super-fast CDN for developers and webmasters.

    I do a lot of web development and I like that a lot -- excellent feature.

    GTT Merging nLayer into Tinet ASN

    Well, looks like we're poised to become a little less multi-homed in Seattle... not too happy about that.

    ColoCrossing, Quick to Get Large IP Blocks Issued and Faster to Soil Them

    Completely true. In my experience with Spamhaus I've found them to be quite reasonable and a whole heck of a lot more responsive than other blacklists. Seems like not much has changed at B2Net/ServerMania/ColoCrossing -- if you open http://www.senderbase.org/ and zoom in the map to the United...

    WHMCS tweaks?

    We're in the process of integrating FraudRecord directly with the WHMCS order review page. We plan to make it publicly available when it's finished and tested.

    Lowend Colo

    I believe Stealthy offers $35 per month colo in Seattle.

    Any unique web hosts?

    The features sets offered by VPS hosts are often quite similar. What is always different is the level of support, quality of service and price. Same is true for plenty of other types of businesses. Independent auto shops all offer similar services, but with wildly different quality of service...

    ARIN Stock Changes Feb 2014 - Down to 1.38

    ARIN probably broke up one of the /14s

    BlueVM and the great labor rights of exploiting labor

    I doubt they think their time is worth nothing. They wouldn't be doing it if they felt like they were getting nothing out of it. There are plenty of unpaid interns in a wide variety of companies -- not limited to hosting. The idea is that you gain experience, knowledge and a employment...

    Chris Fabozzi of ChicagoVPS wanted to start a data center with who?

    Kaniini is a stand up guy and I highly doubt there's any current relationship between him and Fabozzi.
