...and I just remembered there was a reason for me posting on this thread: to say congrats to the new manager on the new job and for being willing to work for a site (LET/LEB) that is owned by a company (Velocity Servers Inc dba ColoCrossing) that is one of the worst hosts of cybercriminals...

They had a bad reputation because they actively tried to gain the business of email marketers for awhile and it took Spamhaus blacklisting a lot of their IP space to get them to clean up their act (to their credit, they are now very proactive in fighting spam and...

^^ VPSB needs to add a new category, "skid industry news", to post all of the news from LET, HackForum, WJunction, and all of the other sites where kiddies, skids, spammers, copyright violators "Linux ISO" downloaders,  go to find servers ^^ I knew there was a reason why I rarely visit LEB...

If the DB is InnoDB tables -> adding the  --single-transaction flag to the mysqldump command  would eliminate the downtime (if you're using MyIsam you should convert to InnoDB).   Alternatively, this script is free and opensource and works on all types of tables...

Maybe they need help identifying the source of some of those spam emails --> http://www.senderbase.org/lookup/org/?search_string=QuadraNet Multiple IPs with poor rep for jcmailer.com and cjsender.com, home pages for both sites are a login page for Imnica Mailer.  ImnicaMail is a budget email...

I scanned a few of those listings and they seem to be mainly Vultr IPs and a few listings for one of Choopa's larger customers ReliableSite (not to be confused with Choopa's brand ReliableServers).  Another case of cheap VPS attracting the wrong emailing crowd.

Looking at Spamhaus' Top 10 tonight I see one provider (#7) which owns a "cloud" company that does block outbound SMTP (customers must submit an authorization form to lift the block).  Their inclusion on the Top 10 raises questions about the effectiveness of SMTP port 25 block policies that can...

CleanTalk only counts the IPs that are recorded by their anti-spam plugins  on member sites so the total IPs they show for a provider are only a fraction of the total IPs in any given AS.  So using Quadranet as an example: 4K of its 341K IPs visited sites using the CleanTalk plugin and 3K of...

Quadranet's AS29761 has an 87.64% spam rate at CleanTalk...  ...which is a hell of a lot better than the 92.64% of Incero IPs which are used for spamming  https://cleantalk.org/blacklists?record=54540  or the 92.91% of ColoCrossing IPs which are used for spamming The comment and...

The US company is covered by ISP immunity laws.  Germany has similar laws that will protect the host.   If the Nigerian was dumb enough to leave a trail so he can be identified (which is doubtful), then... If the Italian company won the lawsuit it filed in Italy against the Nigerian  and...

What da fark is dis sh*t???  WHOIS is showing that Little Jonny ( NGUYEN WEB COMPANY, INC.) owns the GVH domain again? edit:

I wouldn't know.  I've been a customer 8 months (3 dedicated servers) and I haven't had to contact support yet.    short review:  their network has been very reliable, very steady performance throughout the day; no complaints; would recommend their dedicateds obligatory bench.sh test...

Last week's news, but the government told GM and John Deere to go EFF (pun intended) themselves last week: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/victory-users-librarian-congress-renews-and-expands-protections-fair-uses The ruling on DMCA section 1201 reaffirmed, and in some cases expanded...

They mask the processor models but on their website they say they use E5's.  The OpenStack SSD instances are 2.4 MHz (which based on their current product line is probably a 2 x E5-2630v3).

The SSD VPS's are now also available on the OVH public cloud.  Same price (2GB/€2.99, 4GB €5.99,  8GB €11.99monthly) and initial configuration as the SSD 2016 line but hourly billing (€0.008 hr for the 2GB) is available and they're using the OpenStack panel instead of the VPS Panel.  The current...

No auto optimization tool is going to completely solve all problems and eliminate the need for occasional manual optimization...especially in Asia where the main problem is usually infrastructure related (specifically to get from country A to B you usually need to detour though Country C, and...
