These may be silly questions, but: Are you sure that this letter came from ColoCrossing? Have you confirmed that Greg has the legal authority to speak on their behalf in regards to this matter?  A company I once worked for signed a contract with a very large, well-known conglomerate...

P.S. The person who designed the mounting screw holes obviously has no previous experience or understanding of the requirements for drive housings. The person I really wonder about is whoever signed off on the design for "approved for manufacturing." 

I saw that and looked at the photos, and I thought, "What were they thinking?"

A very long time ago, Seagate was the gold standard for tough, high quality, long lasting hard drives. It is sad to see how far they have fallen. 

The intent of this message is to share what I have learned from my experience with MailChannels.  TL;DR: MailChannels improves outbound email reliability, but it is far from a perfect solution.  DETAILS: I need reliable email. One reason I have not moved my shared hosting account to one of my...

I have been using shared hosting from Arvixe for several years, and service has declined steadily over that period. They have broken all the promises originally made when I signed up. The drop in quality was especially noticeable after the EIG acquisition. After Arvixe changed its phone support...

I just read the entire thread up to this point. I would like to point out that much information has not been made public and the investigation is ongoing. It may be a long time before additional information is disclosed, and some facts may never be known. In other words, we do not know much...

Very good, but will you share exactly what "We test backups" actually means to you? Would you mind sharing your step-by-step procedure to help others understand? Do you do a full restore to a spare system and then verify that every file was restored correctly and the system is fully...

I hate to repeat what I already posted in #12 above, but it is so important that I will repeat a summary here: The data owner is responsible for assessing the value of the data and determining what safeguards are necessary to protect it. In this context, the data owner is the VPS customer.  If...

Sometimes the hosting company claims that they are backing up their customers' VPSs on a regular basis (daily or weekly), but they don't actually do it. What does "talk to your web hosting company" do for you in that instance? TMZHosting (TMZVPS) deleted all of the data in one of their...

There are two aspects to backup checking: * Verify the entire backup process end to end. If your provider disappears, can you restore your backup to a new provider? Can you restore after many backups? (In other words, don't check the first backup only, but make sure that your incremental...

Yes. I have been monitoring and observing the vote count where I live for 15 years, after I attended a presentation on the security of the electronic vote. I run polling places during elections, among many other things. If the vote count is not accurate, the rest does not matter. The next step...

You raise several good points. I am not using my BitAccel VPS for email, so I would not have noticed any blacklisting if it had occurred.  Whatever happened with the IP address blacklisting problems (or any other similar issue), the proper approach would have been for Damien to provide...

Sure, but from my point of view, it appears that Damien/SupremeBytes refused to resolve it with Corey/BitAccel in public or in private. Instead, Damien cut off the IP addresses on short notice without warning, and with deliberate and malevolent intent to do harm.  As a customer of BitAccel, my...

I have been lurking on vpsBoard since it was created, reading the forums. I just created an account. This is my first post. I was a customer of Corey's who was affected by the outage. It sucked. There are many good points on both sides that can be discussed and debated.  What I do not...
