Hello everyone! It has taken us 5 years, but we finally have a new website that doesn't make us look like a early 2000's IRC shell company! http://buyvm.net I'd like to thank everyone that helped with feedback on our IRC channel and on these forums :) It has been a huge task given how much...

Hi everyone! We've got some great news for folks making use of our DDoS-Protected IPs. In light of the increasing complexity and size of average DDoS attacks, we've decided to respond by bringing in Voxility to handle these increasing challenges. Why Voxility? In addition to the significant...

So what's your usual traditions when it comes to Christmas movies? I'm always a big fan of National Lampoons. This year I've had my copy of Christmas Story playing on repeat on the TV non stop :P Fran

Hello everyone! For those that don't know, we recently purchased a gameserver brand that specializes in Minecraft - http://minerack.org/ The design came in the deal (couldn't opt out of it either >_>) and much like the BuyVM site, it's terrible and really needs a face lift. My usual go-to...

Hello everyone, After much work, Anycast IP addresses & failover IP addresses are operational! Customers with service in all 3 of our locations can assign themselves anycast IP addresses and then enable them to be bound on each virtual server! We've also brought failover IP support, making it...

This is all just a proposal for now! ARIN is collecting feedback for 60 days before they do anything ARIN put out a proposal for new fees. Most of the proposals don't affect any of us since a lot of them are aimed at the 'extremely large customers' that have /12's and larger. I've attached one...

It seems if you bought a P4 CPU back between 2000~2002, live in the USA, & aren't in Illinois, you can get $15 for free. No proof of purchase needed. More here: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2378798/intel-settlement-means-cheap-round-for-anyone-who-bought-pentium-4-processor Francisco

Hello everyone, This evening we noticed a fairly large spike in outbound traffic. After a bit of investigating and suspensions, it looks like there's a WEBMIN related exploit on the loose. As of right now we're seeing UDP floods pounding away at 91.217.189.77 so if you have SFLOW's, port...

Hello everyone :) Many of you have been curious about what we've been up to and I'm glad we're in a comfortable enough place in development to finally announce it :) Note: There's upwards of a month of lead up time on features. We're announcing early so people can get inventory they may want...

Hello everyone, One of our colocation customers (i'll leave their name out until they give me the OK) upgraded their boxes and have since left these for a good home. I have 3 of the following: - Dual L5420 CPU's - 16 - 24GB RAM - 2U "Rackable Systems" chassis w/ 4 hot swap bays - No rails...

Hello Everyone! Along with a slew of other freebies coming down the pipe, I just wanted to announce that starting next week we'll be upgrading all 256MB+ plans in Las Vegas to E5 2630L's as well as upgrading the SSD caching we use on all 128MB plans. This upgrade is one of many freebies on...

Humble bundle is giving away free Steam copies of Tropico 3 for the next 24 hours! https://www.humblebundle.com/summersale2014-free For those curious, it's a simulation game, similar to Sim City, but far more hilarious. Francisco

Aldryic messaged me early yesterday morning telling me he had been seeing an unusual amount of SSH brute forces coming in. Sure enough, I ran a quick counter and saw a RETARDED spike in the past 2 days: [root@nj-edge01 ~]# grep -c 2014-08-28 /var/log/blackholed.log 15 [root@nj-edge01 ~]#...

Looks like with all the mass IP grabs as well as subletting of space, things have finally hit the 512K mark. Anyone on the raw end of an upstream router that ran out of route space? How do most routers handle route exhaustion? Does it still operate, just with a < full table? Or does it crap...

While replying to I realized there was a topic we were missing in all of this IPocalypse - privacy concerns over CGNAT. Is there anyone here that is behind CGNAT? I'm really curious what VPN platforms still work with it. I'd assume that IPSEC is completely out of the picture, same with...

Hello everyone, We have this chassis sitting around in the Atlanta area for sale. Spec's are as followed: - Supermicro 4 bay 813MTQ - 4 x 750GB Hitachi drives - Adaptec 6504E RAID card - 1 x 500GB 7200RPM 2.5" drive - Rails included The 500GB drive was used for an OS drive. We're...

So there's a proposal on ARIN's desk to allow the transferring/selling of < /24 allocations. Are we about to see a multi million entry routing table in the coming couple years? People with older switches that top at 512k routes are having a hard enough time as it is, but even > 1M route...

Hello everyone! The OpenBSD & OpenSSH teams are in dire need of donations. http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=138972987203440&w=2 It looks like they have a fairly costly power overhead, probably due to all the SUN/SPARC gear :P I'll likely commit a few hundred a month donation to them and...

BuyVM Services is pleased to announce the Las Vegas launch of our new BuyShared cPanel-based Shared Webhosting plans. With three plans for personal use, and three plans designed for resellers and large-resource users, BuyVM brings our extensive knowledge, dedication, and professional integrity...

So is anyone playing Diablo 3 now that the new patch, as well as expansion, are out? I didn't buy it when it originally launched since I didn't really like the trials I was given for free. Recently they released their 2.0 patches and it's a huge change in how loots handled as well as the...
