I don't understand the "customer" side of the question.  Lots of people want to use Paypal so it seems like a good idea for providers to accept it, but it's also good to have additional alternatives.  I have a Paypal account but prefer not to use it if I can help it, and I don't want to sign up...

As others have said, vpsboard's hsoting IS gitlab, in terms of the software.  I don't know much about Bitbucket but I thought they mostly ran Mercurial.  Github creeps me out.  They are like Facebook for programmers, full of obnoxious user tracking, and a real-name-required...

Wtf?  From the word "cage" it sounds like they have colo equipment in Dallas, but they're not going to give any assistance to customers getting data off?  Is the gear all getting seized by the Feds, or what?  Has it been taken hostage by the data center, which sounds like grounds for calling the...

More precisely, the purpose of captchas is (primarily) to slow down SPAM, so someone running captcha breaking software is presumptively a spammer.  I'd kick them.

IPXCore offered to do something like that for me a while back.  It would have been a custom array with 15-20TB and I'm not sure how they would have attached it to the host node (maybe eSATA).  It didn't go forward because I didn't have the budget for it, and because I decided that once things...

Can someone explain the usefulness of such a large address block on a vps?

Oh that's interesting about cpu limiting.  I wonder if that's why the large cloud places use Xen. I had been wondering for a while if it's possible to run KVM under OpenVZ.  Since KVM is a kernel running in a user process, it only makes sense.  Is that what's going on?

Gitlab security vulnerability, patch available. http://blog.gitlab.org/xss-vulnerability-in-gitlab/

My # of vps is still around 15 but almost all of them are low end annual plans in the $15/year range or lower.  4 of them are Low End Spirit at about $4/year each (one at each LES location).  Total vps expenditure (amortized) is around $12/month which doesn't seem too bad, and imho matters more...

You really have to benchmark your specific application.  Eight L5420 cores is probably slower at encoding than a 4-core E3-1230 or i7-3770.  There's now an 8 core Atom (Avoton) server that uses around 20 watts and is designed for web hosting, but it will be way slower at encoding than a 4 core...

I never phoned them for support.  Emailing to support at zendesk.com worked just fine.

We used Zendesk where I used to work.  Calling it a piece of shit is going overboard, but I felt its UI tried too hard be a browser-inside-a-browser instead of just using a straightforward web interface.  It had its own tabbing system written in Javascript, so if you wanted to look at multiple...

Thanks, and yes, I did ask, in the sentence that begins "What measures..." and ends with a question mark.  The later sentence simply observed there was a basis for concern.  What does it mean to shred a drive "by partition"?  If that means something like fdisk, it just overwrites the partition...

I'm a little bit disturbed by this.  What measures have been taken to make sure there's no user data accessible on the hard drives?  If the OP doesn't even know the condition of the hard drives (like whether the "failed" one has only dropped out of the array), it makes it sound like nothing has...

I'm sure archive.org would welcome more seeds.  They torrent everything in their collections now.

I had two VPS with separate hosts at CC Buffalo a while back, and was never able to get more than about 5MB/s transfer speed from one to the other.  It made me chuckle, CC's network was so bad even within the same data center.

If you move an old domain name to a new server, you can move your key and cert files too.  The main thing (other than cert expiration) is the domain name inside the certificate has to match the domain name that the user actually browses to.  So if you change domain names, you need a new cert...

That's still faster than any vps I've ever used by quite a large margin.  This is that $5/month product?  If yes it's impressive.  But there's no way to use up 100tb/mo. The 250GB of disk is also interesting though I guess not insane in the same way as the purported ram and bw allocations. ...
