GKIye Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 It looks that Russia is retired ...

cr08 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Very true. Forgot about that. Though with the abundance of equally reliable VPS hosting as inexpensive as most shared web hosting, surprised more stations haven't went down that route. Although it has a steeper learning curve to get over, it's well worth it IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djgary72 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 We have our own VPS and thats with Power VPS. $40 a month for 2tb bandwidth is great i think were nowhere near using all the bandwith. its good to know you have the ability to Lock out a Whole country. The hackers had only tried on one of the domains. China is now blocked on all the domains. My Blog https://djgarybaldy.blogspot.com User of RadioDJ FREE radio playout software since 2010.
