Plenty. The amount of customers that I straight drop most of the spammy TLD's (.download, .top, crap like that) is obscene. Francisco

(Quote) We'll leave it on cPanel for now. At $3.00/year no one honestly cares. Francisco
-
(Quote) 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

(Quote) 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

(Quote) Sure, local pickup is fine if the person is in the area. Francisco

(Quote) Not happening :) Keep them licenses rolling and I'll work to keep things in stock. Francisco
-
(Quote) 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 j…

(Quote) Sure. $250/ea, no drives. Francisco
-
(Quote) 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…

(Quote) Did the hosting Doctor give you that clean bill of health? Francisco
-
(Quote) Likely this but we'll see what Karen feels :) Francisco
-
(Quote) 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
-
(Quote) 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
-
(Quote) 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
-
(Quote) 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…
-
(Quote) 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
-
(Quote) As I said, our test node has been fantastic. It's a huge spend for us, but I think it's worth it. Francisco
-
(Quote) 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 u…
-
(Quote) Try to be :) (Quote) 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 f…

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
-
(Quote) Your ship, captain. Francisco
-
(Quote) That's some peak Solus right there. Francisco
-
(Quote) 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. (Quote) There's onl…
-
(Quote) 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
-
(Quote) I suspect they'll leave SVM1 alone but 2x-3x the price on all licenses. Francisco
-
(Quote) 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
-
(Quote) it's 5EUR per core boss. You're spending 40EUR/month to license an 8c/16t core box. Francisco
-
(Quote) 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. Any…

(Quote) Just what the Doctor prescribed! Francisco
-
(Quote) 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,…
-
(Quote) 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…

(Quote) 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

(Quote) Law of the land my friends. Francisco
-
(Quote) Yes, it uses a lot more power. It's something like 3W+ per side. Francisco
-
(Quote) That's the board we use. They have a 2T version which has dual 10gig copper ports. For us, we use the D4U since our Infiniband 3X VPI's have a 2nd port on them that can operate in 10gig & 40gig ethernet simultaneously. Franci…
-
(Quote) I'm using them in 1U's. Cooling becomes a problem if you're rimming the cores 24/7, but then you'll just throttle anyway. You can disable turbo (at least in Linux) and that seems to keep it from throttling, but you aren…
-
IPMI is no problem, the ASROCK boards have it. Cooling is harder but so far things have been decent. The supermicro chassis i'm using have 3 x 15k RPM fans at the front that do help push a lot of air. I wouldn't mind finding a 1U passiv…

(Quote) I'm not sure but that sounds like something Joe would've done :P There's plenty of options for affordable DA licenses. Francisco
-
My main concern with interworx is that it's still owned by a datacenter now. They'll put their own interests ahead of anything the market will want. Even back in the day it was basically that where it was mostly just a panel for Nexcess t…

(Quote) Got our first test ryzen node up the other day. Runs like a champ. I expect to do a full Vegas replacement inside the next 60 days. @joepie91 anyone have benchmarks to see the performance loss? Francisco
-
(Quote) A few people I know talked to them and basically it's there for the rare flood here/there, but if you're getting slapped and eating 30 - 50Gbit, you're going to get nulled. Francisco
-
(Quote) Basically. Some nodes are quiet so we can allow some excessive usage but I'd need a reason as to why you're using so much on so little. Francisco
-
(Quote) So DirectAdmin isn't like cPanel where a user can have their DNS cluster attached and their zones sync there. I've got a few resellers that run their own dnsonly boxes that are linked to their reseller. If you're in full root…

(Quote) The DO guy that was on hackernews mentioned that DO is operating at a slight loss but still has the majority of their cash reserves from the their 2nd round of fundraising. Remember, Choopa owns gameservers.com and is on a very short list o…
