    Black Friday/Cyber Monday

    I'm curious if anybody noticed an uptick in their traffic this year for Black Friday and Cyber Monday (the latter of which is baffling to me since online retail can be done any day). I don't mean for webhosting related services - more like customers who have retail sites. Canadian...

    Favourite Automation Scripts

    I'm curious what other people are using for automation scripts - do you have a script you can't live without that just makes life so easy?

    If it wasn't hosting

    If you had to pick something else to do... what would it be? I'm interested in what other people would be doing if it wasn't something Internet-related. For me, I'd probably be teaching french horn to 12 year olds and nursing 15-year old football injuries.

    Adult content

    Here's something I'm interested in knowing. Would you accept a customer who was hosting adult content? Assuming, that is, that the content is effectively legal and you have no moral objection. What are the pros and cons? Are they a magnet for random attacks or do they tend to just use up all...

    What to do with a Windows VPS?

    I'll be honest that this is market research for me but I'm hoping that I can get a few honest answers. I'm trying to evaluate the possibility of offering a Windows VPS (a few people have asked about them) but I'm having a very hard time understanding what people actually DO with them. 1)...
