SEO Hosting with Different C-Class IPs

Hi Alexis,

A suggestion for you guys.

I contacted your support regarding the 4 IPs I'm endowed with after I have opened an account with you. They are all in the same C-Class which makes them useless with respect to SEO.

And SEO hosting is in. Search Google for "SEO hosting" and you would find plenty of providers providing VPS hosting with 10 - 100 different C-class IPs at the cost of no less than $5/m for each IP.
You should definitely do this, simply change your IPs to different C-Class IPs.

Instead of offering:

1.1.1.1
1.1.1.2
1.1.1.3
1.1.1.4

You should give us:

1.1.2.1
1.1.3.1
1.1.4.1
1.1.5.1

Not sure if I'm right on this but the point is all the IPs you give us should be in different C-Class. This is a very great selling point. Yet the support got back to me saying it's not easy technically. I don't think it's any difficult to do this. Or is it?

I would very much like to see such a thing implemented on WiredTree and I would choose to host all my future websites with you. The only reason I have my $250 monthly hosting bills spread across 6 different hosts, is the IPs.

Think about it please.

 

Regards,
Yang

A negative Rackspace review translated to English from Chinese

My experience with Rackspace has been absolutely terrible! I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

First of all, they promise you your own personal account manager but when I signed up it turned out the guy was only part-time. It seemed like he was only available for a couple of hours a week. They also claim to have "fanatical support" -- I was not at all impressed. They may have support staff available 24/7, but their eagerness seems to fade if your problem takes more than five minutes to solve or requires anything more than rebooting the server. They can talk like real professionals but actions speak louder than words.

Second, I'm not real happy with their overzealous sales tactics either. I don't doubt they have the best sales staff in the business, but once they get your signature they've got you locked into a contract that even Houdini couldn't get out of! You'll suffer for the next year or so watching your money be sucked into the black hole of cyberspace.

Third, if you get frustrated enough to try complaining to somebody with any authority, good luck there too. Everyone you talk to passes you on to somebody else, and nobody gives you an answer. If you try to use a support ticket you won't get a response, nor will you be able to track your progress, or the lack thereof, because they don't back anything up.

Be warned: if you're going to use Rackspace be prepared for high blood pressure and lots of migraines!

技术入股如何操作?

问:

现有一个公司,邀请我技术入股。我是做营销的。有没有这么一种机制,即如果我在一年内使公司的营业额提高50%,就给我10%的公司股份。如果我没有做到,就只给我1%?

答:

还有这种好事?不知道这个公司老板是怎么考虑到?
从实现路径上看,可以实现:
1、签订合作协议,将上述内容约束在协议内,注意约定好如何认定营业额提高50%,是签约金额还是收到帐金额,避免自己被圈进去;
2、同时签订股权转让协议,两份,约定老板将股权以一元价格转让给你。一份是10%的,另一份是1%的,在协议中说明根据那种情况,实行股权转让。注意签字时候不注明日期,待实现营业额后,再填写日期。
3、如果还能做到将工商变更手续资料准备齐全,那就更好!注意也不要填写日期。这样可以避免老板届时赖账,你可以直接拿着这些东西自己去工商变更即可!
