  • There is few key items I would concentrate on. Does the host you are working with own their infrastructure? If not, how long have they been in business providing the specific service you are looking to purchase? If they own the infrastructure outright and have their own network setup for example, there is a real investment…
  • I wish I could say any of this was surprising, but I pegged HostDoc as scammy right after my first month with them and the experience I had. I tested HostDoc when it originally started, the week it started, I believe. The services were not really that great and then his tact for handling live chat was AWFUL. I was, I…
  • Hello Friend, Please find a stool below for you to rest on while you wait for the Bench to be completed. We didn't want you to have to sit on the cold floor in the meantime: Have a good day!Cheers!
  • I know you are trying to offer a really sweet deal with the yearly, however, I don't usually go in for a year with a new provider. I know PayPal is likely the reason you are not offering a low monthly payment option, as they take a large portion of the smaller payments, making it less profitable. However, having a monthly…
  • Did want to mention @ReadyDedis messaged me and asked me to check the routing again -- in a quick look at things I can actually say that INAP is actually being seen a lot more broadly now, however, the one things I personally had hoped for as part of the resolution was that there would be direct Comcast peering to INAP…
  • The easiest way I see to handle this issue is to simply have a place that collects e-mails to [email protected] first, then relays the ticket e-mails into the ticket system. This allows you if your billing system has issues, to directly login to the support@ e-mail box and process emergent issues while the billing…

  • Let me know what comes of it, if that can actually be fixed and could provide direct peering to Comcast it would actually be a really nice place to put a small server. Cheers!
  • Why when I test from almost anywhere do I get Cogent if this is supposed to be over Internap? I checked from about 8 different servers and ever single one routed over Cogent only: * http://prntscr.com/qasogn * http://prntscr.com/qasomw * http://prntscr.com/qasos0 * http://prntscr.com/qasozv * http://prntscr.com/qasp62 *…
  • In this case maybe your a bit confused, AtomicPi is x86 with UEFI bios, so, pretty much as far as SBCs go it's probably one of the lowest learning curves as pretty much any x86 operating system runs on it, including Windows 10, Android, Linux, etc. This can though be true of some of the newer Rockchip SoCs where they are…
  • To be honest with you, unless you need something classy, I have always just used a mini-itx or server ATX case and then powered the board via ATX power supply as well as the drives. The NanoPi M4 SATA hat actually provides a ATX plug on it so you can actually power the whole system from the ATX power supply easily instead…
  • Yes and No. Not out of the box, however, the two boards that I can suggest as long as you are comfortable with compiling your own kernels / purchasing additional expansion boards: * ESPRESSOBin - to note I have 3 of the v5 version in 'production' (which it looks like they have stopped selling with v7 in it's place) as NAS…
  • Ohh I forgot to mention, probably because it is in my signature, I do also have an AtomicPi x86 board that I use as an all-in-one terminal attached to the back of a 17" VGA monitor. Works great for simple browsing and simple web based games. My niece will often sit and play games on it when she is over and I think…
  • Sadly I again find my self too busy to add much here, but I do have a bunch of pictures of at least (most of) my H3 boards: here Cheers!
  • Appreciate the tag, however, currently busy doing errands so posting from phone. The other issue is it isn't like I have just one... Having helped develope H3Droid I have almost all the H3 based boards they produce that are worth having. On top of that I have pretty much all RPi's except RPi4, have a Khadas Vim, several…
  • LOL, Where is Dr. Mike when you need him? He would be having a field day with this. He has to be lurking around somewhere, I can just feel it. I didn't realize he was the one that popped up on Hostballs to announce the purchase of CC by Deluxe. Thought he was retired for good, guess he is just hiding away in the shadows…
  • I mean it is great that people don't want to have anything to do with LET anymore, however, I will continue to do exactly what I have always done there, act as a voice for the people when I see shady shit and providers. While a lot may ignore, the goal is to at least put something out there to try and warn people about…
  • Edit: Appears I must not have seen it earlier as it has magically made a re-appearance on the front page. Teach me to go checking out LET with no coffee. Cheers!
  • ROFL. I must admit I am amused, CC went through and removed all the threads talking about the scam businesses they run and any links to the ZDnet article except in maybe the cest pit. That's pretty fucking sad! Cheers!
  • They have done some fairly scammy things in the past. In the past they first offered VPS services through their weird shitty panel. Their services got so bad, they just randomly started terminating customers services and then later stopped VPS. Then they started pushing mainly resold dedicated servers and their customer…
  • Blocklist, not sure, but what I will tell you is they have been having some really fucked up routing recently on their European pops. Especially between Germany and Netherlands, seeing 100ms all weekend between the two points on a server I have. If it wasn't specifically on network shit was bouncing around everywhere to…
  • If your question is, do I avoid all CC properties and related providers like the plague? Then the answer is most assuredly, YES! So, yes, in this case I would, because, I personally would NEVER recommend a single provider mixed up with CC to anyone. That's just me though, for some people price is more important than…
  • Funny how we moved to a new forum but have no problem advertising CCs biggest progeny and stating "it's super awesome". I mean, I get it, a stable cheap service, is a stable cheap service, however, you have to see the irony in this thread being here (regardless of the fact they 'use more datacenters than only CC'). Their…
