We recently began offering IPv6 upon request. Feel free to contact sales [@] ioflood.com if you'd like to know more. :)

Due to the incredible popularity of our Black Friday Sale, 1TBVPS.com has added another VPS node so we can extend our Black Friday offer through to Cyber Monday as well for our friends at LES. With massive specs and over-engineered servers on a KVM platform, run by real systems administrators, 1TBVPS has the power you need…

Glad you like it : )

In addition to CVC buying in, You'll note that one Oakley fund (fund IV) is actually paying $200 million to buy a stake in Webpros from a different Oakley fund. LOL.

Bharat is great to work with : )

I agree

Seems likely to me. I've seen signs that things are finally tightening on the IPv4 front this year. I expect more of the same next year.
-
I expect that to change. 10g just doesn't earn enough revenue for carriers anymore, especially HE.net / Cogent. The way prices are going to sub 10 cents / megabit, if you don't have at least 100g feeding a pop, there's no financial way to make money off having that pop.

Oakley are already shopping to sell Webpros (solus, whmcs, cpanel, plesk). I'd think if they planned to jack up the prices on other stuff, they'd have done that before trying to find a buyer. The new buyer may well want to do the things you've mentioned, depends on their strategy. If it's another private equity firm then…

If only you knew how true that was.

Our Cyber Monday sale has been extended for another 72 hours! Don't miss your last chance for unmetered mayhem!!

Yeah, the seller feedback is much less important to sellers on Amazon. On ebay, it's front and center and they encourage you to leave feedback. Crappy sellers have a hard time continuing to sell on ebay. On amazon, on the other hand, if a seller sends a counterfeit product, it normally ends up being a negative review…

Yeah it can be tricky. I wouldn't trust anything that claims over 2500mah capacity, based on buying cells that are both 2500mah and 3000mah, the 3000's had absolutely zero additional capacity. They would just get hotter while discharging, but be able to supply exactly the same amount of watts to your load. As well, it's a…

Agree on both points. We've returned plenty of stuff on ebay (mostly bad ram or hard drives). Sellers are super afraid to get negative feedback, so even the less reputable sellers have not had any issue letting me refund stuff. I did look into the seller first, feedback for this specific product seems solid. As well, I…

Not a BF deal or specifically EU, but.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/LiFePO4-3-2v-50Ah-Prismatic-Cell-Lithium-Iron-Li-ion-Battery-1-Unit/362645068518 These are pretty awesome. Set up 4 in series and you can use it as a "drop in lead acid replacement", as the lifepo4 voltages are compatible with that use. Better cycle life…

VPS.net is a UK2 brand. UK2 was the company Ditlev used to be CEO of. Ditlev started Onapp. I imagine they got a sweetheart deal. A few years back I recall Ditlev saying that some of the mid size telecoms were either using Onapp or showing great interest in it, so they could sell their own brand of public cloud. I also got…

In the context of academic research, the idea of looking for any of 20 possible positive outcomes, with any having a p < 0.05, means you'll on average find one interesting result simply by chance, while the p < 0.05 lets you pretend that it's a statistically significant outcome, so long as you don't publish info about the…
-
Oh right, good point! I had read that but it wasn't entirely clear to me the first time I read it. I guess I couldn't decide if that first line meant "there are no additional price rules for this category" vs "there are no price rules for this category"
-
Off topic, but, p < 0.05 isn't great if you're measuring 20 possible effects, and consider it a "win" if at least one of them shows positive ; )
-
Along those lines, I think it would be reasonable to have a section where you can have offers of any price. I do think it makes sense to have "normal offers" and "lowend offers" be separated so it's easy to know which is which without having to actually read the offer. But I also think there is a lot of potential for…
-
Thanks! Glad to be here.
-
Honestly, the Onapp pricing scheme only makes sense if you're a corporate customer who is picking between a private cloud and a public cloud. Where, you're getting hammered so badly on price on the public cloud that paying the absurd license fee is a palatable alternative. Or, I suppose, if you're a managed service…

Here's a thorough rundown on why AGPL is vendor lock-in evil nonsense wrapped up in hippie clothing: https://www.dr-chuck.com/csev-blog/2014/09/how-to-achieve-vendor-lock-in-with-a-legit-open-source-license-affero-gpl/ TL;DR AGPL is to Open Source as a whorehouse is to "free love". On paper it looks like you're getting…
-
Be careful with the AGPL license on Proxmox. It requires that anyone who accesses your service be given a full copy of the underlying source code and changes. So if you do anything with the API, and let the public access a service using your custom API-driven software, you have to give that software to those users /…
-
Because 10 dollars / mo PER CPU CORE wasn't enough already? That's in the ballpark of 100 - 200% of the value of the underlying server.

We use 4tb drives in raid 10 currently, as we find we run out of disk i/o before running out of disk space, with that amount of space per drive. So I'm not sure that 24x 10tb drives, with no raid (or, no overhead from ZFS parity) is going to be a good ratio of disk i/o to disk space. Especially as ZFS is not well known for…
