LR?
Ahh
No thanks. I'm LR all the way.
And no information on what provider @FTN_Kevin runs.
URPad.net definitely not what I'm looking for.
Then maybe be more specific what you are looking for
I'm looking for a big provider, that has a pretty good selection of plans and virtualization types (Xen, VZ, KVM optional) and also offers dedicated servers.
I've been using Santrex, they're not a good provider by a long shot but they have such a huge variety of offerings and payment methods that they accept.
Unfortunately, the support is incompetent and they're blocking all of my emails that I'm trying to send out via an EXTERNAL SMTP server so they've managed to delay development of my project by ~7 days now. (That's 7 days of telling them that they're still filtering my test emails)
I know. They're idiotic. I've purchased from 6 different locations and every IP range has been blocked.
Bottom line :
System we're developing requires at least 2 dedicated servers and at least 2 virtual servers to start off.
Why not contact providers? For example, we offer dedicated server on quote basis.
My reply was to pad.
And as a business no but as a person I do accept lr.
Where the IP's blocked when you received them?
We have been accepting Liberty Reserve for a while now.
@DominicHakke
Yes. I'm not spamming, I'm sending out 12hourly update emails which is a user-based preference, we haven't even got to the point where these emails are being sent because of Santrex.
I'll take a look at your site now.
Checked it out, can't even get off the home page.
Moving off of 'SOLUTIONS' just removes the sub menu.

You gotta be really fast when moving the mouse cursor, or else the sub-menu disappears again. @DominicHakke you might wanna fix that
I doubt you will find a good and legitimate provider accepting LR. LR just screams trouble.
The whole text is actually just graphics. Somebody just didn't understand HTML and the purpose of the Internet.
LR screams no bullshit. Its probably the safest method of payment a provider can accept.
Anyway, Serverminds is not what I'm looking for, don't offer any public packages for virtual servers and their isn't enough information on their dedicated servers.
I'm not interested in purchasing from DotVPS.
None of the major providers accept LR.
However, any prefered locations?
I'm not interested in any HF related hosts for something like this, nothing run by kids, I'm looking for a legitimate business which offers a wide selection of services. I know huge hosts aren't going to accept LR but I'm pretty sure there are SOME out there that will.
Why would a legitimate provider accept a rather 'shady' form of payment?
You mean credit cards?
It isn't shady just because you don't get screwed while using it.
Yes, I have no doubt that many people use it for illegitimate purposes, but at the end of the day money is money. Let me sign up for an AlertPay account with fraudulent information, go on a spending spree, and see the faces of these hosts when they wake up 30 days later and see that they've lost a few thousand in profit because of one asshat.
Now that's an extreme scenario, but with LibertyReserve what I'm giving you is what I'm giving you. I find it funny that a merchant would NOT accept LibertyReserve because of anything that may be associated with it, its probably the safest payment method a provider can accept.
Anyway, this is just derailing my topic, as you can see I'm looking for an LR accepting hosting provider, because the costs for my project will be quite large before I take it out of development, my budget is high, and I happen to have thousands stockpiled in my LR account.
burstnet?
@NinjaHawk
I've had lots of experience with them in the past, I love them. Do they actually accept LR though? I swear they didn't last time I checked (a year ago or so).
Might be:

Yeah, they don't.
@PAD Yes they do. At least when I was using their vps for dns purpose, I saw that option.
We are aware of this, a new website is being developed by a designer since 2-3 weeks.
It's not, it's a sIFR that allows to show the "non standard" fonts used on the website.
