What's the oldest piece of tech still on your desk? · Off Topic

How much did you pay for R720? In Bucharest they appear at 200-300 EUR with no RAM no drives. I add Samsung enterprise SATA from Germany, resell to local hosting guys who think they are getting deal. They are, I am just getting better deal.

My provider matched a competitor's price without me asking · Deals & Offers

My clients would benefit from this approach. I operate several premium nodes across premium providers and premium support is what my clients pay for. Did you open a sales ticket or technical ticket?

Hetzner suspended my "unmetered" VPS at 8TB, fair or fine print? · VPS Hosting

Following this because I resell and need to know which providers actually cut.

Contabo box ≠ what I ordered—scam or config mix-up? · Web Hosting

Reseller view: Hetzner auction is where I buy. Page says old Xeon, I get old Xeon. No drift. Their cloud marketing is different animal, I do not touch it. Contabo I resold once, client got what cart said, but disk was HDD not SSD feel. Not same lie, different lie.

I finally learned proper log rotation · General Discussion

My clients expect premium service so I can't afford disk issues. I have support ticket system for this. Our premium log management handled by premium team.

Actually for my own box I just use journald. Clients get premium though.

Hetzner? Gone in 72 hours!

What are you smoking. Hetzner is right there in Falkenstein and Nuremberg. I have two AX102s with them, invoices every month, they answer tickets in 20 minutes.

You are confusing them with some summer host that died in 2019. Stop spreading FU...

Not everyone is measuring correctly
Google Analytics, default setup, last 30 days. I am not a researcher. I am a person who buys cheap and sells less cheap. If you want to sell v6-only hosting to my WordPress clients, be my guest. I will watch.
