Hah yeah cynical is fair. It's easy for me to forget especially when commenting here (HN) that not everybody knows what they are doing and I often undervalue services which bridge …

Thanks for the response, so really you're just improving a job that the CA should and could do better. In your position I would fear that my business/model/product could be easily …

letsencrypt.org will demolish the DV market and there's already minimal profit without extreme volumes, so lets be honest about this. > Our CA, DigiCert, does the final checks befo…

Cool! Might use this when I renovate http.sh

Cool idea, terrible website.

£ 10 for the e-book, not bad really considering the niche market, may just grab this.

There's lots of good comments above, I don't have a lot to add beyond stick in there and for some reason this song and it's lyrics worked for me in similar circumstances: http://ww…

More so because it is just another of many rehashes of http://h30565.www3.hp.com/t5/Feature-Articles/Don-t-Bother-B... which has already been covered widely http://slashdot.org/sto…

Aside from Amazon there aren't any true cloud providers. Rackspace, VPS.NET, Linode et al are all just VPS++marketing (_not_ cloud).

UK2 claims its SL forcing the disconnect.

Dreamhost however is very open about the type of `best effort, use what you like` model. Compare the claims on http://vps.net/ to the reality of http://status.vps.net/

It's all a little bit silly. Everyone knows 100TB can't afford you to use the included bandwidth. When you start actually using your bandwidth then you cut into their profits and t…

You only mitigate attacks you don't stop them. You either get massive uplinks (multi 10GE) and cisco nexus (or similar) or proxy/spread/diversify across multiple facilities separat…

For anyone considering this, it's already been exploited by people running it across 1000s of vms/processors causing massive rate fluctuations. One to skip imho.

Yes, though check with your CA for IDN support.
