    Should hosts provide a backup service?

    I got fed up with SolusVM a long time ago so I wrote our own control panel for our OpenVZ VPSs, it was really simple and you don't need to be good at programming to write a replacement, I think I had the first version built in less than a month while investing a few hours each weekend. For KVM...

    Should hosts provide a backup service?

    Here's our current setup: https://securedragon.net/clients/announcements/485/Backup-frequency-changed.html I've been wanting to find a better solution but it's on the back burner while I work on other higher priority things. We're also giving clients the ability to manage their own backups...

    Should hosts provide a backup service?

    Also keep in mind that disk space is the cheap part, bandwidth is usually the costly part when you're backing up hundreds of gigabytes at a time to another location over a 1Gbps port.

    Should hosts provide a backup service?

    If you are going to offer it make sure you CYA in your Terms of Service. If your backups fail for any reason or you can't restore the exact data they need, the amount of rage you will experience will be like no other. Clients who NEED backups and don't do their own backups will use their...

    A billing panel I am writing in my spare time

    So you wrote a plugin to change the appearance of WHMCS's error messages? :P

    A billing panel I am writing in my spare time

    I've seen another billing system that used the exact same theme as WHMCS, ended up being a direct rip of an older nulled version of WHMCS so I would never use anything that looked like WHMCS just because if I tried using it, people would assume it's WHMCS and my domain wouldn't pass the WHMCS...

    Writing a client management system for a side project, feedback wanted.

    Wanted to bump this thread and post an update. I've been trying to put in a few hours a week on this and even started working on a new website dedicated to the project. Here's some screenshots with the older theme so far (I created a new, boring theme to make it easier to...

    A billing panel I am writing in my spare time

    Looks like a screenshots from WHMCS. My advice is either use a unique frontend or post some screenshots that make it stand out from WHMCS. Right now it doesn't tell us anything except that you took a screenshots of WHMCS.

    Phone verification?

    The WHMCS plugin is the easy part. Once you get the backend shaped out, there are plenty of us who can knock out the WHMCS plugin overnight. You just need to do all of the heavy lifting. :P

    Phone verification?

    I agree. What I saw happen was a user would enter a phone number for a country that cost us almost a dollar per call, then they would answer the phone (at least I really hope they were, because Maxmind states they only charge for answered calls) and within seconds request a callback and do this...

    Phone verification?

    We used to do phone verification but the trolls would use up a lot of money a month so we stopped using it. :(

    List of providers who offer DDoS protection.

    How does the price of a VPS affect your inability to secure it? Regardless if you pay $1 or $1000 for the VPS, if you do not take the appropriate steps to secure your own VPS you cannot fault the provider or the cost of the VPS. Also, DDOS protection does not protect against outbound attacks...

    The Cicret Bracelet

    I'm tempted to invest in one of these: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ritot-the-first-projection-watch/x/9226570 I don't wear watches but I would wear one of these. :)

    Raspberry Pi owners?

    I've got an RPi at home that I use for network monitoring and home surveillance (mainly it's just a dumb IP camera and my NAS does all the thinking). I've also got an RPi that I'm renting from FitVPS that I primarily use for personal testing and development as well as an L2TP VPN for when I...

    Craigslist down, been hacked.

    On a brighter note. I highly recommend listening to YTCracker's new album "Introducing Neals" or at least watching the video on YouTube (when the traffic brought down DigitalGangster he forwarded the domain to the YouTube video).

    ServerPilot.io ?

    You can customize the configs for Apache, nginx, and PHP but make sure you don't edit the config files or it can break future updates (you need to create your own config files to load after the main config files are loaded). I like that the interface is very basic, definitely a perk for me...

    Fraud Record

    It's not that I don't feel like it, it's that at that point in time I already lost money because of them so I will not continue wasting any more money because of them. If I were required by FraudRecord to notify every person I reported to them, I would stop using FraudRecord all together because...
