Post #389,811 by folkert 5/24/14 1:27:10 PM Reply	Thanks. I don't appreciate Digital Ocean's responsiveness to abuse. They are exceptionally slow to respond as compared to even some Nigerian hosting companies. I deal with hosts about 5 times per week that are being used as attack engines and scrapers and other nefarious things. Usually it comes down to them being used to expand stuff and they discover that MOST hosts that are doing this kind of work are paid for using Stolen Credit cards and or stolen other forms of payment. Just be careful malraux. I understand the allure of cheaper with just as capable. I switched to Google Apps because of it. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Post #389,851 by static 5/26/14 6:11:06 AM Reply	Is this a relocation of the box? Or re-installation of the app? If the latter, I take it you looked at AWS? Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/
Post #389,857 by malraux 5/26/14 10:05:49 AM Reply	Reinstall, it's all VPS I use AWS on a daily basis... it's good but relatively spendy, even for a micro once you're through the free year. Digital Ocean is all solid state drives as well. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
