All good but some providers dont allow changing hostname...
2022/23 i lurk, so i'm only here when there's schedule flash. I believed in 2022 i wake up 4 AM to catch up advinservers at 5AM knocked out by chess captcha(fk u). Sleep again, wake up 7 for 8 AM leveloneservers and that's it for 2022.
I think I noticed VirtFusion providers actually changing the hostname in WHMCS when you changed it on VirtFusion. May be wrong but if I’m right that’s PREM.
I dont change in service tab, i only give a proper name when i did excel

@kuroit got this on their WHMCS panel
If you can beat it, you're a bot?
So true
Good morning!
New friends and a sense of comraterie.
It's the weekend I'll probably just wait
Oh it's @beanman109 and @emgh. Won't say which one is who thou.
Yesterday he said he was online and will fix it soon, then just disappeared. I don’t think you’ll get it without a ticket.
I don't think we will get it even with a ticket, but keep us updated.
@SilverCreek if your company can’t take the additional discounts just say so and I, at least, will stop demanding mine. I just don’t like the stalling.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals must be coming for you !
I'm similar, but opposite -
provider-location-number, e.g.inc-ldn-1andinc-ldn-2and I use these names for the VPS/dedi.I'm actually thinking about dropping the number, because I've only ever had 3 providers where I've had more than one machine in a given location.
I normally run with an additional layer of VMs, and I name these as
function-providerorfunction-location, e.g.dns-hyb,haproxy-hybetc.Previously, I had names on a theme, but the problem was that while I could remember the individual names, I could never remember which one was which. I think this kind of thematic naming works best for a roomful of machines.
As usual, the machine named
testbecomes your most important production server.Always
Dang, there's 10K comments in just a few days? More active than I thought
isn't it
tews😂I actually feel a bit sorry for the situation he's got into by agreeing to the discount. Everyone already had insanely good deals, e.g. $5/y, $7/y, $12/y and felt really good about them.
He offered a really generous gift to @FAT32 to apologise for something or rather, and being the generous kind that @FAT32 is suggested sharing it with others, and within seconds that had become 10x $2, which he (probably stupidly) agreed to in the heat of the moment because so much was going on the the thread at that time.
I know he agreed, but I think he should have just said no. Even from a practical POV, manually editing those invoices again, most of which had already been paid and issuing partial refunds for $2 would be a real pain in the ass for him. And now, all the goodwill he built up by all the cool deals he made are soured because of it.
I know we were also dicked around by the stupid code puzzle, but I don't think that was malicious. I think he saw the massive level of engagement the other puzzle got (was it Onidel? it was all happening while I was on a 4 hour drive, so I missed it all), probably thought "I know a bit of coding, how hard can it be to obfuscate a code?" and didn't realise that the operations he was doing to "encrypt" the code made no logical sense from a codebreaking perspective. Coupled with going AWOL for most of the holidays, presumably due to family obligations, that code just turned into a disaster. I was annoyed with it because I wanted the mental challenge, not that I even cared about the deal itself - and let's face it there were dozens of us, wasting multiple hours for a code that we knew was single use even if we ever solved it. Rationally we should all have stopped trying after 5 minutes.
The service itself is still good value for the original deal prices. As long as the company doesn't deadpool because from the number of deals they gave away at below cost, I think we've all got decent deals even without this stupid $2 thing.

The YABS test is below, the disk speeds are not convincing, when tested with DD and checked using CrystalDiskmark on Windows, normal values for Sata SSD are encountered. We prefer the latest hardware in our clusters. Attached are the tests with DD under the YABS Test and the tests with CrystalDiskmark on Windows side.

Still in stock!
@ralf I agree, and yeah that join reverse thing sucked, but, two things:
1. Nobody is asking him to refund invoices. We’re talking about upcoming invoices. Change of price, not change of invoices. No refunds.
2. As said, I’ll stop bringing it up if I can just get a ’no’ back, but this ’soon’ and going away isn’t fair to the winners.
I don't think we are asking for refund, it is just $2/yr reduction on upcoming / future invoices. In my opinion, cash flow is important for the company and 2 x $50 = $100 cash is more important/valuable than what I proposed. 10 x $2 reduction means I/we trust the company can lasts for at least 5 years which then only it is "break-even".
This naming scheme looks great!
