    Any cheaper domain reseller account than ENOM?

    I was actually surprised they didn't sting me with the 20ish cent ICANN fee that some of the big names do. Nice to have consistent pricing from browsing to checkout. These guys might actually be my new goto registrar.

    When should you use SSL?

    I stand by this as well. With the likes of Let's Encrypt and probably others providing SSL certificates for free we don't really have much reason not to use SSL. Unless of course you're working for Big Corporate using 25 year old COBOL scripts to keep a company alive and with Java 6's...

    Any cheaper domain reseller account than ENOM?

    Hmm, from what I can gather internetbs got bought out buy some bunch in the UK and will charge VAT on top of their prices if you're in the EU. Namesilo perhaps? https://www.namesilo.com/Support/Reseller-Options

    Any cheaper domain reseller account than ENOM?

    If you have a WHMCS license you should be able to get better rates iirc. Not sure what it will work out to given tax in your area. https://www.whmcs.com/partners/resellerclub/ / https://www.whmcs.com/partners/enom/ Also Internetbs looks kinda cheap...

    updating VPS host frequency

    Used to update our machines Wednesday mornings. Us Australians are future sailors so had to leave it until the day after patch Tuesday to have any real benefit for the few Windows boxes I was looking after at the time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_Tuesday

    Crissic making a return

    This is definitely a write-off for some drug/people smuggling ring right? Reminds me of the fakery from Weeds but less appealing. "We don't offer telephone support to our clients. ...That's support in our book!" http://www.lentl.net/ - just in case there are any vegans around these parts.

    Which tools to use to detect scam on the server IP?

    You could probably script something that works similarly to mx toolbox and is command line friendly. Give the script a list of the IP addresses you care about, loop through and use the dig command do a DNS lookup for each of the major DNSBLs from mx toolbox. I'm most of the way through...

    BitCoin in the hosting industry case study... who wants to partake?

    I recently used Bitcoin to pay for hosting as a client for the first time and it kind of validated the fact that I have this cyber money I probably can't do much else useful with. It was painless and provided I still have enough in a month I'll likely do the same. Its fairly unlikely I'll do...

    Bringing VPSMon back from bitrot

    Penny for your thoughts? A good few years ago when the SolusVM web interface (and most of the rest of the internet) looked like balls on mobile devices  I released VPSMon - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.texh.vpsmon&hl=en. It seems to still work just fine even though I...

    What podcasts does everyone here listen to?

    Don't really listen to podcasts so much anymore, but I did used to listen to Naked Cantonese. Cecilie's teaching methods are quirky, but they work - http://podcasts.rthk.hk/podcast/item_all.php?pid=45 Generally (for ambience) just try to find something that suits my mood on 8tracks. Tried...

    Impact VPS - Complete Website Redesign

    Very sexy. Have to say I saw this earlier today and while I haven't looked as closely as the others who've posted here, the first impression of the makeover is definitely a great one! Edit: My only gripe thus far is that images aren't very crisp on mobile (Nexus 5)

    Reliable Node (Related Domains) + Twitter & Facebook Page + Logo

    Hey @HenriqueSousa - WebUp 24/7, actually just took the time to see what is currently at reliablenode.com and it looks like it could be an actual running business. I see there are no VPS plans available in WHMCS, but was wondering if you've got any shared/reseller or domain name clients that...

    What's your favorite device for browsing forums?

    Sameo - in landscape so the text isn't too small for me to read without squinting. Nav on mobile is quirky/unfamiliar. Swapped my old Android tablet in part for something a year or so back and got the iPad as a toy/dev device (though mostly a toy)...

    WHMCS v6 has been released

    I haven't checked the API docs since the update, but noticed a few changes in the database schema and way some undocumented methods are called broke a WHMCS site I look after (in dev environment this is). The modules garden stuff is probably dependent on undocumented features or custom...

    Who was your first VPS provider?

    I think my first would have been from vzlayer.com or jumba.com.au. VZLayer appears to be dead from my end, but Jumba is still going strong. Know a few people who still stick wIth and recommend Jumba for their own personal stuff, but I couldn't comment on their service as it's been years since...

    How to direct visitors from certain countries to a different landing page?

    Nginx itself could probably handle this with it's geoip module. http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_geoip_module.html A quick Google search turned up this guide: http://nginxlibrary.com/ip-based-country-blocking/(Which looks like it'd work on Debian/Ubuntu) Its contents is kinda brief...
