Any providers around here have addon/module/functionality within Solus where a customer can self manage backups and deal with fetching files from prior backups?

HudsonValleyHost, subsidiary of VSNX, which is owned fully by ColoCrossing is taking to spamming helpdesks of providers directly... This ended up somewhere earlier...

Looks like 2014 is the year of mass consolidation. It's good to be a rich old bastard these days. Today relative to the industry here, we have Twitch.tv looking to sell out to Google for $1 billion.  Twitch.tv does game streaming. The biggie, AT&T is offering $48.5 billion for DirecTV.  In...

RaidLogic.net is a provider we see here on vpsBoard. Recall they were smacked hard by the Burst.net hit and run situation. Looks like per WHT there has been an outage of much of RaidLogic for at least the past 2 days... source: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=9113759 Anyone...

Burst.net continues to be funny. Go to their website, go to Order: " Secure connection: fatal error (300) https://service.burst.net/ The certificate is not known by its supposed issuer. It is not valid. In the worst case it may be used by criminals for fraudulent purposes. The website owner...

Someone was asking me about PayPal Business accounts. Business Account in US and Verified by PayPal. Are there incorporation requirements for such or what does PayPal require?  Anyone recently dealt with this?

So, some of the valued community members have pointed to highly technical reasons why benchmark testing inside of VPS containers and other virtualized environments is useless.   Useless on gauging CPU, useless on disk IO and throughput information, generally useless. Goal is to get input on...

This is taken from WHT and the mega Burst thread...  If you have a server with Burst.net and it hasn't been accounted for, it likely was abandoned/left behind:
