    Is this something you're using in house or selling to compete with SolusVM etc?

    Anti Spam Protection

    The "best" way that I've found for KVM virtualization is to just block port 25 via iptables and those that want it go through a verification process with a "we don't tolerate spam reports" disclaimer and it seems to be working. But I'd be interested if somebody else has a way like...

    Is it okay to ask customers to review your services on forums or social media?

    I've had people leave a review in a support ticket or with me on live chat. I simply request they go to our 3rd party review site to leave the review to be more "formal" about it to help our future customers find us. A couple of them did it but a few didn't. I've seen a few providers leave a...

    Getting new clients ~ How did you do it?

    Patience is almost the hardest part about it but generally it pays off. Just make sure your model is sustainable and you don't "need" 50 sign ups a month to just break even. That way you’ll be sure to be around for the long run and get a reputation about being “there” for people. I’ve seen posts...

    Why Don't Providers Do This One Simple Thing ... To Make More Money?

    Correct. We allow people to fund their account but a reasonable Max that the customers would end up using. We do state in our ToS that it is non-refundable regardless how much is in there.

    WHMCS 6.01 is released

    Do you know if solusvm released a updated plugin yet? That's kind of what I've been waiting on. But I'm glad to see that I waited with all of the randomness that's been going on with the update.

    Blocking Fraud Orders - Best Solution

    This is spot on. The combo of maxmind gets the bulk of it and the added verification of fraudrecord just puts the final nail in the coffin if we have any doubts about maxmind reports. There also have been times maxmind called it fraud due to proxy etc but fraud record didn't show anything. It's...

    Testing Disk Read / Write on Host Node

    I'll check this out myself. I just stood up a new node myself and I seem to have problems with read/writes. It's running at 3gb/s speeds vs the 6gb/s it should be. I'm just running a dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync But this may give me a better idea as to what is going...

    So, let's clear the air...

    I'm just curious what you mean by this. Some providers rent dedicated servers or buy servers with agreements like NET 30 or something of that nature.

    I'm catching up on all this drama with xFuse and GVH. Interesting stuff!

    European based Hosting or American based Hosting ?

    This is something that I've wondered about. But if your company is registered in the US and have servers in EU, don't you have to follow US based laws regarding DMCA etc?

    Live chat software

    That's what I use it for as far as the mobile app etc. It's great to be signed into the app in multiple locations to be able to handle quick messages or something more intense without having to monitor my laptop. I have had some short outages with them over the last 2-3 months but they were...

    Ideal node specs for rented operations

    At a minimum I'd follow this advice. Renting a VPS node is very costly and the margin becomes even smaller this way. Plus the cost of extra IPs etc. Colo is the way to go

    Server and domain monitoring tool I made

    I'm going to see about getting a server or two on there. It seems pretty good with the screenshots etc. Do you have any idea on prices after launch etc?

    BuyVM launches new website!

    Very nice website! I like it. I did notice it's not mobile ready or doesn't seem to be. But honestly I don't think that's a problem

    How To: Reporting fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise undesirable clients.

    @MannDude Thanks for the How To article. This is something that I'm adjusting to after launching our VPS product. We had to sign up for maxmind and found fraudrecord to help combat the bad sign ups that we were getting. I've noticed that some spammers or people that "mass email" want to wait a...

    What module to use with WHMCS?

    You have to have a SolusVM Master. This can be installed on any VPS as long as you do not want to serve VPS with it. It's recommended to keep the master as stand alone server VS doing the OpenVZ master. Once you have that setup you create a SolusVM slave for KVM or XEN. Once you have that setup...
