    vpsBoard Random Downtime

    Cost. I'll have a fiddle with MannDude later when he's around. When I say fiddle with MannDude, I mean look at tweaking/changing things. When I say things, I mean php/apache/nginx You guyyss.

    IP Address usage

    I think we've had this conversation before, haven't we? :) It is entirely true. When getting cheap IP's is no longer possible we'll see providers failing all over the place and it wont be at all pretty.

    IP Address usage

    Yep. While we could have taken the hit, it just wasn't the most sensible thing to do. We moved out because it didn't make sense to take such a huge hit financially and OVH went back on their word as they'd previously said existing customers on their pro plans wouldn't be affected. I guess in a...

    IP Address usage

    Not sure I agree. The more savvy provider will have been charging for a while and not throwing them around like candy. When the idiots who're giving them away can't get any more and have to start charging, they'll quickly realise that getting customers in the door with the lure of free ip's was...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    In other news.. This depends entirely on the country in which you live/operate. As someone else mentioned (I forget who) the cost of living and the laws regarding child laboUr are vastly different. In a modern, civilised society it is deemed unacceptable to have a child (again, interpretation)...

    [UK] For Sale: 2 x 1U Q6600/8GB Ram

    I have 2 of these up for grabs. They're still in use at the moment but will be decommissioned within the next few weeks. These have been running without issue for about 2 years now, never missed a beat and have been solid work horses. Only getting rid as we're consolidating the roles of these 2...

    Adam "ET" Ng Attends the High School Prom

    I see this is one of those threads where you ignore the points made to you so you don't come off looking like the idiot. Your inability to address points directly aimed at you makes this all the more ridiculous. As MannDude has mentioned, a thread in its own right about employment law (in all...

    Adam "ET" Ng Attends the High School Prom

    You've completely glossed over my point. You are going after these children and trying to expose them on internet forums. It doesn't matter who has them employed or otherwise contracted. If you have an issue and believe these children are being exploited then report it to the relevant...

    Adam "ET" Ng Attends the High School Prom

    Hang on just a second there. Don't be getting all uppity and high-horsed saying that the low end market is happy to 'exploit' child labour. You're just as bad and guilty if not even worse - you have a personal vendetta against said 'children' and you bring them up at every opportunity you can...

    VPS Benchmark Testing is Useless. Creating better benchmarking tests.

    Unfortunately not always true. It's quite easy to change the host configuration to ensure that when people run these benchmarks and specifically the 'usual' dd test, that the figures come back looking great. These are never really an accurate way of measuring performance unfortunately.

    Put your hosting business on autopilot (freebie inside!)

    Host. It's the only way I could guarantee enough control over safety, security etc.

    Put your hosting business on autopilot (freebie inside!)

    Biggest problem is hosting client data on a system you can't control. To me that's the issue that stops me having any interest. If it was released for self hosting then I would give it serious consideration.
