    Do you use Bitcoin?

    Is that 4% of your orders or 4% by monetary value?

    Xclusive Tech Thoughts?

    Maybe it was a disgruntled member of staff that's very recently left the company  :ph34r:

    Xen Security Vulnerability and Amazon is Special

    It makes complete sense but you still can't help feel like a second class citizen.

    Verifying foreign accounts, how do you do it?

    There's no foolproof way of doing it but we take the approach that it's better to let a customer go who's not willing to verify than to keep a customer who is potentially trouble. It's not worth your time. I have a funny anecdote about one particular account we verified. One time we had a...

    What's for Lunch?

    I've come to the conclusion that my one course lunch at a desk pales in comparison to the 4 course fine-dining experiences you guys are having. I'll step up my game  ;)

    How can we make the Daily Server Deals website a better experience for you?

    No strong feelings on anything you've said except the quote. Don't make it two column. Scanning through two vertically scrolled columns is painful. It's easy to miss something and is hard to follow.

    Do you use Bitcoin?

    That's the primary reason why we didn't take Bitcoin payment. We were concerned that that demographic might be more inclined to cause mischief because ultimately there would be no further repercussion for them (other than what they've already paid in Bitcoin). BTW, did you generate your avatar...

    Do you accept anonymous customers?

    How can we make the Daily Server Deals website a better experience for you?

    Well, I finally got around to posting an offer :) The website looks great and is well laid out. I have a few suggestions though. 1) Can we have a field for the name of a VPS product? This would be useful if you want to refer to it in the header text. Sometimes there's something about the VPS...

    When did you realize you were getting old?

    "Charles?", I asked. "Yes?", he replied, his head deep in mechanical bobbins and cogs. "Why is it you continue to tinker with that infernal contraption of yours?" "One day it'll change the world!", he answered and continued unabated. "You young uns' and your toys." I said. Young Charles...

    Been a while...

    That's terrible - shame it wasn't a clear cut case of who was in the wrong. I'm not American so don't know what a passing place is but am I right in saying you were executing a manoeuvre you weren't supposed to? In the UK at least you'd have no medical bills and you'd have sick pay to tide you...

    How can we make the Daily Server Deals website a better experience for you?

    Are you new to the Internet?  :lol: Here's the standard operating procedure: 1) Order up VPS 2) Torrent movies on it 3) Get suspended by service provider for breach of ToS 4) Complain about suspension 5) Directed to the specific line in the ToS 6) Claim to not have seen it 7) Threaten to...

    We've all done it...

    That's not too embarrassing - at least that's just an accident. I've left embarrassing comments to myself to tidy up bits of code which I naturally forgot about.

    How do you weed out their biases though?

    BUDGETGEEK TELECOMS LIMITED / 32MB Club / Random Bans

    I'm pretty new here. I don't often post much in drama threads because I prefer to avoid them. A lot of these over at the LE* end up as childish bickering and end up making the entire industry looking childish. One of the main reasons I joined here was because the tone was friendlier and...

    Thoughts on Provider -> Customer notification

    I think it's great you'd like to provide these services. What you'll find in any customer-base is that there are those that want this, those that don't want this and those that don't care. To make this work, you need to add an option to enable this service otherwise you risk antagonising...

    Do you read reviews first?

    Haha! We run a brand that is deliberately brutally honest but inexpensive - it reads brutally for those that are used to candy coated marketing but it works out quite well for us. Our first Google hit is a thread condemning us for the attitude of the site. What this tells us is that people are...
