    It happens, it's not a big deal if it's coordinated correctly. If they're managing their own DNS, its an upsell opportunity! ;) When I move a site, my clients don't even *know* their IP addresses...

    What makes you "need" to do this? You can change the TTL on your DNS records on your domain(s) down to something reasonable, like two hours, then update your records once your new equipment is up,...

    While I'd trust my instincts, in a large operation, pre-sales is different than tech support in hours, staffing and capability to answer questions. So I wouldn't consider it indicative of overall...

    I was trying to figure out how long I'd been with ServInt, and I think it's been since about 1996 or 1997- I also got in fairly early on the VPS bandwagon and you're right-- it just works. I think...

    I have VPSes with ServInt with and without control panels. For hosts where I think I may need to let a less-experienced person admin them, or where I'll host lots of domains and standard Web...

    I've been hosting a bunch of years with ServInt (probably about 10) and I've never been happier about systems I couldn't touch myself daily. I've seen lots of folks who are one line, five servers...

    FWIW, ServInt has data centers in Virginia and Washington, D.C.

    I'm on my second VPS with them as well, and I agree with your assessment 100%. I was impressed by the implementation of the second data center without any hiccups at all, and the new trouble ticket...

    You can't EVER know a compromised server is clean if you don't do a reinstall if all you have to check if the server is compromised is a shell on the compromised server itself. There are a plethora...

    Indeed, I started using postfix mostly because of the second bit. Postfix also plays much more nicely with other MTAs.

    Well, there's also the possibility of setting up an SSH or SSL tunnel and keeping the socket local, so that you get both confidentiality of the traffic and the need for keys to make the connection

    Generally, Web stores aren't CPU intensive, but may have to deal with things like VISA's security protocols. Therefore, I'd go with a per-store solution to give separation, even though you'll have...

    The caps only come into play when someone's abusing a server, I run some SMF forums and database/PHP website applications and my customers have never complained about performance. They've never...

    If you're getting dictionary attacked, I've found Postfix to be the lowest resource user of the common *nix MTAs, if configured with a list of addresses to accept mail to up-front, you can normally...

    Venture capitalists generally look for significant interest in a business in return for their money, especially if they have a lot of bad investments to make up- if you don't need it, *don't* take...

    If the contract simply says you must notify them, but not how notification must be given, then I'd not pay the extra month. Worst-case, I would have sent them a written letter of cancellation- if...

    Price isn't the only way to compete, many businesses go out of business losing a dollar on every customer and trying to "make it up in volume" ;)

    I'd further suggest that if pricing is driving...

    ServInt's support is excellent. They often install software for clients and they don't charge extra for support. I'm about to get a second VPS there, with...
