ColoCrossing isn't a kiddie host. They do use old hardware but then again who doesn't have an old box here and there?
My biggest issue with ColoCrossing is their ethics. I would never trust a service by ColoCrossing or a single service provider who uses them. This is mostly because I don't want to support ColoCrossing in any financial way, which may or may not impact several people here on this forum (not to be disrespectful to you, but this is my opinion on ColoCrossing).
I'm not saying "DDoS CC it's great!", because DDoS in itself is a total dick thing to do. But for anyone else who uses ColoCrossing and inevitably gets screwed over it, I have no sympathy for you. It's just like someone getting screwed over by GVH. It's like "seriously... you should have known better"
I guess this can be taken the wrong way. Basically what I meant is I don't want clients of CC or any companies affiliated with CC down. But if they do happen to have issues (could be downtime or issues pertaining to relationships with CC) I don't really have any sympathy for them because from the current examples I've seen of how CC acts and does business.

Hrm. Looks like I'm just reading it differently then - I don't see any encouragement, just hindsight commentary. On several occassions pub has done anti-skid rants, and to me his "should've hit them in the wallet" is no different from the Americans that said "Should've gotten in further" when talking about the recent White House infiltrations. Do they *really* want to see a man get killed? Likely not. It's just expressing an opinion.
'Course, I could be way off. But that's just how I'm seeing it.
No, we wanted to get out as quickly as we could. Things were fine the first couple months, then it was nothing but problem after problem. At a point like that, when a move has to be done either way, you want to end the suffering and get it over with as soon as possible to minimize the time your clients have to suffer for a pathetic upstream. Which leads into...
See, that's just it. If CC ran a stellar network, it'd be one thing to overlook the childish behaviour. But they don't - the network is trash, the service is horrible, the "techs" are the very definition of incompetant.

They keep having issues with cloudflare.
so that guy is pissed because he decided to start ddosing anti-ddos providers and then got upset when every called him a dick?
boohoo, what a pathetic little loser.
It's possible the flood is big enough that cloudflare is kicking them off of the protection?
We can safely assume they're on the business plan, so it's possible it's bleeding. They enabled the 'inline checking' on LEB, it's probably about time they enable it on LET too.

Because they are sloppy.
They leak IPs all the time otherwise. CF should work for them, but they seem incapable of getting things set up say properly.
Hiding the sites seems like a good idea, but proper policies and checksums clearly aren't in place. Never have been.
First time you fail like this, you learn, second time, you really learn. Third time anywhere else and people get fired/replaced/outsourced. Them, meh, they like to run around in circles and try to tank things with their big upstream pipes. That can work, until you realize HF folks offering bad traffic to quantity exceeding their pipes. That has zero to do with dealing with Layer 7 attacks which they should be swallowing in Moby Dick sizes.
Blowing your IPs public, means getting backdoored with packets, minus the lube.
Cloudflare's $200 a month package claims to offer all sorts of filtering on various layer attacks:
https://www.cloudflare.com/ddos
And that plan comes with a 100% uptime SLA. Whatever that means - ideally proper account credits... (I don't use / subscribe to Cloudflare so someone else drop the knowledge).

I don't think they have a business plan, otherwise why wouldn't they enable the Free SSL included.
Then that's probably why they keep bleeding floods. CF's free stuff disables pretty quick at the first sign of a SYN/HTTP flood.

I mean why else would they keep resisting SSL if it was only one click and done?
I thought it was because of BuySellAds not playing nice with SSL?

With a customer the size of le* something could be done. Like a small proxy script.
Now it does, before no.

Maybe so, but it wouldn't take more then a few minutes to right a script that proxies between the sites. Mainly just lazy I assume and they didn't do it.

BuySellAds Pro plays nice with SSL but it's probably out of their price range https://pro.buysellads.com/publishers
Because DNS management wasn't on the activity list at the daycare center. These are the same idiots who last year were running both their nameservers on the same IP/same server.
SSL certificate installation wasn't on the activity list at the daycare either. I could point out a few threads where installing an SSL turned into a day long adventure for Fapozo & Co.
LET working for anyone else right now?
Seems down for me, using both www / non-www. Load up a proxy and it works without issue. Unsure if I was blocked or if normal browsing / checking threads / refreshing for updates would trigger some new strict rule in place or not.
Even though I rarely post there I still lurk it often.

www is working for me.
