    Comcast Jacks Customers Again - Modem Rental Fee Raised to $8 a MONTH!

    Comcast is one of those companies where your experience varies greatly based on which "market" of theirs that you are in.  I have lived in Baltimore, MD, Pittsburgh, PA and my current location and I can tell you that services between each of the markets were drastically different.  In the...

    lowendspirit.com (from Inception Hosting)

    If you have another server with ipv6 access, then yes, you should be able to connect from it. Cheers!

    lowendspirit.com (from Inception Hosting)

    @fahad you really should have understood what you were purchasing going in.  The lowendspirit servers DO NOT come with ipv4 ip access directly.  They come with an ipv6 address.  To use the default ssh port you will need to connect using ipv6.  There is an option with lowendspirit to have ports...

    PremiumVM Up for Sale.

    Hey Dominic, I understand there are more "important things" that can happen, but is that to say that your promise to your customers is not important?  I think you need to grow-up and realize that you made a gentleman's promise that you would not do this again, so by doing this a second time...

    Daily Server Deals has launched!

    I just want to say LOL at the mini logos being use for HostMist: Maybe either they should supply a better small logo or the original should be re-sized/cropped better.  It just looks silly  ;) Cheers!

    Colocrossing's Million Dollar Routers are Switches... Top of Rack Server Porn. Old Cisco.

    Not that I don't appreciate the info and pictures, but a word to the wise: I am not sure of EGI's policy, but some larger data centers I have been in make your sign a form when retrieving your credentials that says something along the lines of, "You agree not to under any circumstances unless...

    Daily Server Deals has launched!

    FYI if you go to http://www.dailyserverdeals.com it gives you a 500 error.  If you go to http://dailyserverdeals.com it works though.  Just thought I would let you know. Cheers!

    Features you'd want in a bash backup script?

    You may also wish to include tar.gz over ssh to the target back-up server. A good resource for this is: http://blog.bravi.org/?p=259 this way you do not have to locally have the space for the back-up to be created in, instead you can pipe the back-up directly to your back-up server. Also, if...

    Features you'd want in a bash backup script?

    Use openssl to encrypt your back-ups.  While it isn't the strongest encryption, it is better than none if you intend to be storing your back-ups on an unsecure service or even in an OpenVZ container.  tar -zcvf - <directory or files to backup> | openssl des3 -salt -k <encryption...

    HEY GUYS, GUESS WHAT I DID?

    LOL! VolumeDrive had the balls to post an offer on LET and ever since it's been getting DDOSed.  Their prices and bandwidth don't look to bad though in their new DC.  Can't really beat 6ms to NYC starting at $19.95/month.  time to get the popcorn.  :popcorn: Cheers!

    Expectations in regards to ticket reply

     @WSWD, Like @Mao said earlier, when a ticket comes in it gets worked till its resolved or till the point where there is a needed response from the customer.  When you actually work through your tickets as they come in by the time they are reaching the bottom of the page they are waiting for...

    Expectations in regards to ticket reply

    @WSWD, Sorry, but, what?!  If you bump a ticket in most systems that I have seen (assuming you sort your tickets newest to oldest to be able to see new issues and emergencies first) it end up at the top of the list as it is the newest.  It sounds strange to me that you would do this in reverse...

    Expectations in regards to ticket reply

    The group I work with specializes in an average response time of 15 minutes.  This may be just an update to let you know we are working on the issue, or a complete resolution to this issue depending on the severity.  Now, this is by no means low end support services, but we do have a mixture of...

    URPad Needs Help Improving - take Root Level Technology's Money

    #1. Don't decide after spending money building other infrastructure that you are then going to be cheap and "pull out" of your Iceland location and only give your customers the choice of moving to a US location. I imagine you will lose a large amount of customers that were in that location from...

    Bitcoin VPS/Dedi

    Well yes, but I figured a server with a GPU is a better option  than trying to do it with pure CPU on a VPS or DEDI without GPU access. To really make anything mining though, the two machines you mentioned are your best bet. However, you need a nice chunk of change for those dedicated mining...

    Bitcoin VPS/Dedi

    You really need GPU to do mining, your best bet would be to find someone who specializes in GPU farms or provides a GPU on their dedicated servers and use that to mine.  Using straight CPU would be a waste of your time and money, like other said it will take forever to get anything out of it...

    Kimsufi is fast to a VPS, glacial to home. Why?

    QoS is more severely impacted on the most commonly used routes in an area it seems for Comcast.  If you are for example, using ipv6 to connect to your vpn instead of ipv4, you will actually get higher speeds in some cases and better routes.  This can also apply for just using routes that are not...

    Kimsufi is fast to a VPS, glacial to home. Why?

    Most likely a lot of that is on Comcast, it seems recently they can't make up their mind of which Euro routes to use because on the East Coast here I have found over the past 2 weeks that my European routes flap 2-3 times a day taking me from bleeding fast transfers of 6-8M/sec to transfers at...

    Justhost a US hosting company shuts down Iranian Opposition Website

    Seriously? Are you 5?  Why are you taking this personal? I believe the way it was brought up is the correct way to handle this in a community.  Instead of getting butthurt, why don't you try to work with the community to find a way where you can still provide the important information you find...

    ColoCrossing and vpsBoard

    The CC shit defiantly got old a long time ago.  Though the main drama drive to vpsBoard has been CC shit, so its no surprise it has been let go this long.  It is about time for bufalooed to find a new home for his drama machine, or at least tone it down as this isn't a conspiracy site.  While...
