    Can you route my legacy netblock?

    Does it have to be in the US? Or are you looking for providers that can do this anywhere in the ARIN region? Does the virtualization type matter? The reason I bring this up is because it would be easiest to do this over a KVM or XEN HVM instance so that the primary interface of the VPS can be...

    BGP Tunnel Central US (or KVM VPS)

    We're not that far away from central US (latency wise). We could have that turned up for you same day. What's your budget for this?

    How to Stop DDOS and SYN FLOODING on VPS

    The IP you mentioned seems to belong to OVH. They have DDoS protection as a service. I would recommend contacting your host directly to see what measures they can put in place for you.

    Is it worth it to host your own dns?

    It's always good to know how a service works from a technical perspective. Even if you don't host the DNS in production on your VPS, it would be good value to go through the motions of setting up a server, editing some zone files and getting your hands dirty! To answer your question... Due to...

    cPanel SSL question

    Also be sure to install the relevant intermediate CA's. Depending on the browser, it may not have a full chain going back to the root issuer of the authority and that's what's causing the error. There's a few browser plugins that can check this for you (depending on which browser you have) as...

    New WebHostingTalk Site!

    I don't think the new corporate membership badges are big enough....

    SSD Endurance

    Gotta love real world testing. Also makes me feel better with the choice to put 840 Pro's into production over the same model of Intel a year ago! The details on how the drives degrade over time from a technical/science perspective is also quite interesting.

    What is anycast?

    The important part to mention here, is that for Anycast to be of benefit, you would be doing it at geographically diverse locations. There wouldn't be a point of doing anycast at the same physical location (a load balancer or other methods would be prefereable). This allows you to bring your...

    Good VPS specs for remote desktop?

    Surprisingly, some remote desktop applications use much more RAM and CPU than a VPS running a small website with database and plenty of remote users. If you plan on installing something Gnome or KDE based, or even the latest Ubuntu Desktop, you'd be hard pressed to get a decent user experience...

    VirtKick - a simple, open source alternative to SolusVM

    UI looks good as others have said. However, your website claims that your app will be fully open source, yet your github repo does not have any code other than the web demos. Are you looking to develop this in the open source community model? or are you looking to sell your service for a...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    This is a bit of a stretch... Yes, there is without a doubt paperwork, time and effort required to run a business. But no matter what you do in life, this is the same. The benefits of owing your own business and being your own boss allows for schedule flexibility and for you to be more...

    Seagate Drives

    Same here... Have never received a lesser model from them on an RMA, ever.

    Seagate Drives

    Proud to say we have a decent collection of expensive coasters! Some were even still under warranty but it's not worth the shipping cost to get another. Western Digital, Samsung & Intel have been our best track record in the past 3ish years.

    IP Address usage

    As of right now, their public policy states the following: In the event that any ISP requests additional resources, ARIN is required to verify that you meet the 80% use requirement. If what a lot of people are saying on this forum is true (that the amount of justification in order to be...

    IP Address usage

    Curious as to your viewpoint on this... In our experience ARIN is extremely policy driven. As long as you are meeting said policies, they cannot discriminate on the purpose of use. Be it, VPS, dedicated servers, cable, xDSL connections etc...

    I now support PayPal a bit more

    I don't see how they can "silently" charge you. All payment amounts (whether recurring or not) need to be authorized first.  Did you setup an automatic payment profile to which they requested a higher amount after the fact? More details might help others possibly prevent similar situations.

    VPS failover?

    You can set the TTL time for your records to a much lower amount. 300 or 500 seconds. If 5-8 minutes is to big of a window to be down, then your only option is to see if you can find a provider that is present in multiple different locations and that will assign anycast IP's to those VPS'. Even...

    ARIN down to last /8

    It ended up being power outages at one of their locations. https://www.arin.net/announcements/2014/20140423_outage.html When it rains, it pours I guess.

    ARIN down to last /8

    Their website has also been flip-flopping over the past hour. They've also removed member login on the left. I guess a lot of members are trying to get their last requests in for v4 all at once. Curious to see how this plays out and how much of that /8 is left tomorrow.
