I hope you're not suggesting that I don't know what I'm talking about, lol. Cogent is prime bandwidth. And unlike other high-tier providers EV1 has a fully redundant network.


Uh, are there any datacenters that DON'T have a "fully redundant" network?

I owned (COO) a webhosting company that was based out of a datacenter in Seattle, WA. I'm quite familiar with upstream providers and what is reliable and what is not. Further, I have numerous certifications and years of hands on experience with live networks at that level; including global communication systems. So don't assume that I don't know what I'm talking about when in fact I do.


LOL I HAVE MY CCNA CCNP NET+ A+, etc. Does it matter? No. Anyone can obtain those, and bandwidth providers really don't really have anything to do with that. It's a long shot, but did you happen to run your hosting company out of Swiftco in the Westin Tower? I'll be there next month. Rocked Over

(1) Nightma12 told me that you exploited a php vulnerability years ago - which is not only easy for any decent php programmer but a quick and permanent security fix.


Uh, it wasn't a PHP exploit. He allowed anyone to read any file on his box regardless of their user status, and still does.

(2) For someone that seems to know a lot about security (you were quoted saying his security is bad) you should understand that the IRC protocol is one of the least secure protocols ever designed which is the main consideration for EV1's position.


Hahaha. IRC is a plaintext chat protocol and does its job fine. What security improvements would you recommend?

And for the record, EV1 allows IRC (they even run their own support IRCd), but linking other IRCds is against their policy. This has nothing to do with the IRC protocol's security. Their network simply can't handle the DDoS attacks that sometimes happen.

Basically, EV1 is cheap generic Infomart-esque shit. Great for budget hosting or personal use, but you'd have to be insane to buy from a hosting company there.
