Talked to Rob at Fiberhub. Half off the 1st month for anyone colocating these with him in Vegas or Dallas. Francisco
-
I don't do colo. Rob's like $80/m/U. Francisco
-
Crazy that they couldn't make a profit given they removed most of the premium from their network to make it Cogent-tastic. Francisco
-
When we first started the $15/year plans all those years ago there was a full on grey market for it. We would see people buy 10 - 15 in a go then do transfers to others. Later find out they were taking a 30% - 100% markup on every service. Francisco
-
Plenty. The amount of customers that I straight drop most of the spammy TLD's (.download, .top, crap like that) is obscene. Francisco
-
We'll leave it on cPanel for now. At $3.00/year no one honestly cares. Francisco
-
You can put 4 x 2.5" drives, or 2 x 3.5". They're fix mounted. FH can colo for probably $80/m? I've linked Rob this thread so he can confirm. Francisco

I got 150 in LV and 50+ in NY. You can figure they're maybe 10 - 15 pounds each. If you're buying a bunch, Fedex has https://www.fedex.com/en-us/shipping/freight-services/ltl/freight-box.html which is pretty cool. Francisco

Sure, local pickup is fine if the person is in the area. Francisco
-
Not happening :) Keep them licenses rolling and I'll work to keep things in stock. Francisco
-
Others might be interested, but here you go :) * 1270v3 CPU * 32GB RAM * X10SLM-F or X10SLL-F motherboard (main thing being it's either 2 or 4 SATA3 onboard ports) * Supermicro 512L/F chassis (your choice, they're the same setup just a bit different inside) Let me know if you're interested and how many. Francisco
-
Sure. $250/ea, no drives. Francisco
-
It'll be the same deal. Full thread per 4GB. We'll put 128GB in there just for buffers and the likes. I'll have spare NVME on there. I might sell some (or give it as a freebie to some locals), but I intend to keep a lot of it spare so I can finally do backups/snapshots. Francisco
-
Did the hosting Doctor give you that clean bill of health? Francisco
-
Likely this but we'll see what Karen feels :) Francisco
-
We're one of the first to do a full fleet replacement I think. Maybe @MikeA? Anyway, I'm not Ricky Bobby so I'm not worried about it. I'm just excited to get it done. Francisco
-
While it's stressful I enjoy doing this job. Down the road when you all piss me off for the last time I'll sell it off and go blow it all on the strip or something. Francisco
-
I'd like to see it this year but i'm not making any promises. LV & NY will for sure be this year with a 3rd US location happening as well. Francisco
-
No, it's just a lot of incompetent electrical contractors that trip full boxes or breakers. It's our fault, I should've had A+B on those racks but didn't since I didn't like the idea of ATS units. I've ordered all new chassis to address that. Francisco
-
For inbound? We haven't decided what we'll do. One idea is to use the 'Premier' system I wrote for our billing system to upgrade/downgrade users ports. Basically give more perks for being a long term customer. Francisco
-
For us DirectAdmin has been a big mover. Most people that have more than their single account on a reseller has opted to move to DirectAdmin. They're really ramping things up if you check their change logs. Francisco
-
As I said, our test node has been fantastic. It's a huge spend for us, but I think it's worth it. Francisco
-
Intel's XEON-E stuff is nice but it has the same exploits and isn't a new arch, it's just the same with some (faulty) hardware mitigation's. A new arch is likely 2022 for regular consumer purchasing. We'll need to upgrade sooner or later, so we might as well do it now while the iron's white hot. Francisco
-
Try to be :) While EPYC would be cool, people get slices because they want high clock CPU's. 2Ghz isn't high clock and no ones going to use that for gameservers/single threaded apps. We have a test node up that has been fantastic. Our 10gig configuration (using our connectx cards) works great too. Francisco

SVM1's price has to go up to pay for all of the development they've had to do. Short of Phill coming out and saying "Not gonna happen, not gonna do it", I would bank on it. Francisco
-
Your ship, captain. Francisco
-
That's some peak Solus right there. Francisco
-
There's no reason for them not to increase to similar pricing to SVM1. Again, their team is fairly small and I don't think they want to have to hire a massive support team to take all of the SVM1 refugees. There's only 2 public modules and they're...ugh. I've helped a few friends with both and they're just terrible. I…
-
I'm assuming they've spent a lot of time and money to get Solus.IO going. I suspect SVM1 will go up 2x+ in cost for the legacy stuff. Francisco
-
I suspect they'll leave SVM1 alone but 2x-3x the price on all licenses. Francisco
-
I figure that or just a cross the board ramp on SVM1 licenses. I just don't see that many providers moving to a product like Solus.IO, especially anyone in this market. Francisco
-
it's 5EUR per core boss. You're spending 40EUR/month to license an 8c/16t core box. Francisco
-
Right, it's everything. Thanks for the interest. Francisco
-
I'd stay clear of Interworx as they're owned by a host, not a development firm. Main concern is they will likely focus on what they want more than what the market is after. I could be wrong but I've never trusted such situations. Anyone thinking Virtualizor won't increase their rates is kidding themselves. If suddenly the…

Just what the Doctor prescribed! Francisco
-
There's at least one person showing a 9 vCPU on an 8 thread box. You also just proved my point. You were at this for 3 years, but made no motions to be more sustainable. Move to colocation, things like that. Maybe you were profitable, but not so profitable that it made the headache and loss of sleep worth it. BuyVM, well,…
-
Try not to take this as a put down, but how can you do the math on such a plan and go "this sounds like a completely sustainable product that I'll possibly put my livelihood on"? I'd shake my head when I would see their offers. They decided to chase after SMARTHOST's $5/m plan as well as other crazy offers placed on…

OLS is lacking in its .htaccess abilities. For instance, you can't do ACL's like: order allow,denydeny from all I ran into this today helping a customer secure their WHMCS vendor folder. Francisco
-
Law of the land my friends. Francisco

Yes, it uses a lot more power. It's something like 3W+ per side. Francisco
