I was surfing the net and someone IM'ed me on AIM and told me that ***** had settled a new feature, check this out:
http://www.*****.com/?zone=press/2001/reachictects_network
They are doing to prevent from attacks such as DoS, hacking etc... Do you think this will guaranatee to work?
Also they purchase adversiting on Delta's plane as inflight programming
How the hell they get these moolahs? Overcharging clients and drop them? Maybe that so
Gee, we need to stop them from getting deeper and deeper
But they are f*cked anwyay !

That wont help, if someone wants to dos their name servers it easy to find out what IP address blocks those name servers are on, it public information.
If someone wants to cause an outage, they'll do it... and there is nothing ***** can do....

If ***** was such an upstanding company, such extreme measures probably wouldn't be necessary.........
Yeah, I think they can afford this due to the interest earned on 3x-4x overcharges on unsuspecting customers... probably have a couple of really dumb banks behind them too, who figure that if ***** is good enough for Howard Stern, they're a good enough "risk" for them too.
On one hand... remind me not to go to those banks for $$. On the other hand... maybe THEY will give me money... :)

Hello All :)
this is the funny part...
"There is no other major hosting company out there with this design," Faulkner said. "Many of them simply have two domain name servers, all located on the same network segments, none have a third and none have them hosted on different network segments."...
our own little site/servers already have 4dns servers on 2 separate physical locations :) a few months ago...
i don't think this is something new and most webhosts hanging around here in WHT will agree, of course C|host is trying to make it look like it's such a big thing :rolleyes:
to their unsuspecting customers/newbies :rolleyes:

What crap. I don't much love or hate them all that much, but I'm not liking them more and more...
