probably cheaper just to get a $10/year Commodo or RapidSSL cert instead and start over....

I've been using the WD Caviar black series... other than they are LOUD, no issues...... .... so far .... .... <knock on wood>

oiye... mental note, avoid the samsungs (although I probably haven't done through 10 drives in the last 5 years; let alone 30 on RMA status) :-0

By 'chuck' I mean 'chuckle'... too early on Monday I guess. From http://formalsweatpants.com/

Happy birthday Stephen

Sorry, didn't mean to be ludicrous, of course ISP's would never block traffic... it all flow freely, if they started blocking traffic we might have to do something strange like setting up alternate ports or something. Good luck with your problem(s)

Yup, similar here *within the ISP's network* - if you're already on/internal to the network, no authentication required at all; some clients actually prefer to use the local ISP's SMTP because it is faster with larger emails w/attachments (given my large distance from either JH data centres)

I'm surprised Verizon is disallowing your connection to an external SMTP server even when using alternate port 587. Perhaps the easiest fix is to use Verizon's SMTP servers for outgoing mail... Looks like a Verizon policy on SMTP use, that's what the issue looks like to me but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the update. No worries on the account move, at this point its more of an inconvenience than anything else and as long as we know that it is reasonably moving forward then its something we can bear with for short-term. Cheers

I have a client complaining about the same thing, C1_Win12 in FL and MSSQL11 in TX. Any idea on the which servers are heading to TX soon?

Thanks Stephen; On the VPS provider I use I backup software for an onsite and offsite ftp backup option -the offsite does cost $$$ so was seeing if the service plan backup would eliminate that expense. Anyway, I should get off my butt and the site over to a Jodo VPS instead to consolidate...

Can you explain what exactly "Managed block-level backups with storage" is under the OS-Level support option? I assume it is just a server image on a regular basis but are individual file restores available or just server level restore. How many backups are kept? Thanks George

Happy New Year... but still have to wait 2 hours here before I'm in your year... ahhh time travel. :-)

Thanks Stephen.

With the Hyper-V solutions, will there be a MS SQL add-on option if we wanted to avoid installing sql express?

Not a big deal today as I was approaching the Cluster 2 limits anyway so an upgrade was in order anyway... always thought it was a bit of annoyance though that new customers got more space/bandwidth than long time customers. No biggie anyway.

I was just thinking about the same thing this morning when I had to upgrade my account... posted limits are higher than given (for us cluster 1 customers anyway it appears)

It's warmed up from -30c to about -10c so it should be a relatively warm Christmas... balmy as a matter of fact ;-)

Merry Christmas and all the best in 2010.

I second Stephen's observations... i'm quite impressed with both installs I'm running - really don't know it there.
