    Why do web hosts not use AMD processors in servers?

    Am who? But seriously, we have some AMD machines and they rent at a frequency of about 1:1000 vs Intel servers. More people know the Intel brand. Putting "Intel" on your site helps with your sales to non techy people who just want to think that fly-by-night-host-09999999999 will be great for...

    Chances of starting a successful WISP

    Don't even bother looking at transmitters/receivers, tower rental, etc until you have looked at backhaul/middle mile costs. Backhaul costs in most scenarios is the reason why the costs are so high/bandwidth included on existing services is so low. To start, what is 100mbit on 1gigabit going...

    How do you do staff?

    Build your business to the point that you can live off of it, then kill your salary and use it to hire a second person, rinse and repeat. A lot of founders/"CEOs" don't actually make a living wage at all, don't expect magic from this industry. You may need to maintain a full time job while you...

    The next iteration of Paste.ee

    I posted some realistic feedback, and genuine questions, OP received them well. If you can't convince users of a value add vs the status quo, then you don't benefit from explosive natural growth was my only point. Not sure why you're so uptight.

    The next iteration of Paste.ee

    On the flip side; Pastebin is not slow, it has been around since 2002 (proven tool, not "outdated"), runs a massive server cluster, and is highly DDoS proof. They also have an api, mass of tools, etc. Wasn't picking at you, if you're making your site as a hobby, that's cool, but don't expect...

    Should service providers be able to refuse service based on country?

    There are a few countries for which we direct prospective clients to specific resellers, to eliminate the language barrier. It results in zero fraud for us (reseller takes that risk), and accounts/orders that last longer. Win win for everyone involved.

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

    Pre-funding is an accounting and tax nightmare. Pre-payment is not. Pre-funding, as seen in this thread, often leaves customers to believe that they can withdraw those funds later.  It is much easier to simply sell products on a monthly, quarterly, annual basis, etc. I agree that the bonus...

    Found on WHT - Quadranet expanding into Atlanta.

    No dedi provider of any decent size isn't exhausting section 179 each year, hence you have a deprecation table for your assets, and hence property tax filing is easy, that was my point. For anyone that is not a kiddie host, filing property tax is a non issue. But let's face it, most of the hosts...
