Hi everyone, I handle channel and partner work at Zenlayer. I've been reading and replying here for a few weeks before posting anything commercial — thanks to the people who took the time to answer me in the VPS and dedicated threads. ── Who we are ── Zenlayer is a US-headquartered...

:) Following up on my own post, since AfinaG raised compliance alongside latency and the thread then only talked about latency. Compliance is increasingly the part that decides the answer, and it does not negotiate. There is a growing list of countries where financial and public-sector...

Most answers to this question are product answers - what else can we sell to the customers we already have. Worth adding a distribution one, since that is the side I work on. Two things I would put ahead of new add-ons. The cheapest revenue is the customer you already paid to acquire and then...

Two things from the provider side, one of which is the boring answer nobody likes. On the pre-auth bugs specifically - the cPanel one Cantech mentions, and the WHMCS ones - patching faster is not really the answer any more. Mivocloud is right that the window between disclosure and mass scanning...

Worth separating two questions that are being merged here: what makes someone buy, and what makes them stay. The thread has largely answered the second one and I agree with it. On the first, from watching our own funnel rather than from asking people, the honest answer is that most advertised...

We take crypto as well, but I would separate two things that get conflated every time this comes up, because they lead to different investments. Crypto solves a privacy problem and a chargeback problem. It does not solve a market access problem, and outside the US and EU that is usually the one...

RackWorks' point about facility and transit gouging matches what we see, but it is very much a US and Western Europe story. The picture inverts elsewhere, and that changes where the squeeze actually sits. In the markets we operate across Southeast Asia and Latin America, nobody is bidding our...

I am on the other side of this, so treat it as disclosure rather than defence: part of my job is negotiating with review and comparison sites, which makes me one of the people paying for the thing this thread distrusts. The "top 10" observation above is correct and I would not argue with it...

My underrated pick is not really a package, it is a habit: baseline the network path on day one, not when someone complains. Everyone in this thread installs monitoring for CPU, memory and disk, and almost nobody records what the route looked like while the box was healthy. Three weeks later a...

The question about where responsibility ends is the one worth answering, and I do not think a feature list can answer it. Two providers can publish identical lists and behave completely differently when something breaks. Three things decide it in practice. Whether there is a clock. "We handle...

There are two different problems in this thread being called the same word, and separating them makes most of the hardware-versus-software question go away. The first is access control - which ports and which sources may reach the box. nftables on the host does that well, it costs nothing, and...

Everything above is about what happens after you have the box. The mistakes we see most often happen before that, at purchase. Two in particular. Not asking what happens when the hardware dies. A dedicated server is a single point of failure, and people arriving from shared or cloud often have...
