What's wrong with that?

There is nothing wrong with that. At least we know they use something reputable. Meanwhile, Jed is broke so he has to offer his script kiddie skills for free.

Custom what? Custom hosting? That's not my problem. My problem is that he's using a reseller of RamNode as his website. That just makes me wonder is his hosting from a reseller of a hosting company? etc.

We are not reselling our services. We control and maintain our own dedicated servers rented from Reliable Site hosted in New York. Just using the RamNode reseller as a temporary solution until we can build up enough infrastructure to support having a separate server for the website.

Its the fact that if you're a hosting company, you shouldn't need to buy webhosting from someone else you should be able to setup your own webserver, on either a VPS or just on one of the nodes you are going to use for hosting.

You means underutilizing AND putting all your eggs in one basket?

Outsourcing is done by even major companies even if they have money to dispense for their boxes.

Thanks for the input. We will definitely look into options that will be effective for the business.[DOUBLEPOST=1478889012][/DOUBLEPOST]

That is what we are trying to avoid, as it can prove to be extremely detrimental if there are any attempted attacks. Good to always keep assets separated, and company assets away from customer assets.

Does just point to https://diamondcrafthosting.com/#. Better let it point to https://diamondcrafthosting.com/pricing.html and use .htaccess files.

Indeed some users on here just don't understand how enterprise networks are really setup. Network segmentation is the norm and even required by laws for certain data handling (credit cards and other sensitive data mainly).

The reason it works well (and it continued to be used) because it drives the essential (expense) up and decrease the "rewards" of the hacking attempts could yields. Thus driving away hackers from compromising the network (since they will go for easier targets first).

Even if the worst DID happens it will often LIMIT comprising of the ENTIRE network. Plus a compromised network segment can be isolated and resolved with often times less impact to servicing than a non segmented network.

This is a small minecraft host, not quite the huge network you're making it out to be. With most MC hosts if their webserver was to get hacked, that it. All your client information gone, even if on a separate database server, since the credentials required to access it will be in one of the WHMCS configs. On your webserver will be the multicraft API key too, therefor someone could simply create a new user set it as administrator and full FTP access to each server, all via then API and then that's all your servers gone too.

Segregation is important in some cases, but with most small MC hosts, not so much. The webserver is the one thing you need to keep safe. Personally id trust a dedicated server / VPS that I have setup and configured more than a webhost that anyone could have.

Finally though, lets be serious here, small MC hosts aren't really targets for hackers, so segregation isn't really needed. What's the most a hacker could gain? A couple of 100 emails and addresses to sell on for next to nothing. Payments will be done though a gateway like PayPal so nothing can really be stolen there. Perhaps some server files to sell on? Not sure a hacker would be particularly interested in that. As long as they are correctly setup so skids cant get in, then they aren't really a target, since there is little to gain for it.

In defense of the OP, lots of companies don't run their own web servers - instead they rely on a web host to worry about performance, uptime, and security. Our web hosting packages are cheaper and more reliable than similarly priced VPSes. Not to mention the included cPanel which makes it ultra easy for people to get email addresses set up. We all know email servers are a pain in the bum to set up.

I also wouldn't call myself a "reseller". But that's a conversation for a different time. ;)

I seriously don't understand why they are bashing at you about that.

You're outsourced NOT a reseller.

Outsourcing=to offload services
Reselling=to resell the product/service over again.

Heck even though they are leasing dedicated boxes from Reliablesite.net they can't be their reseller UNLESS they are reselling their exact offerings down to the customers.

Because they are a Game Service Provider (selling Minecraft service packages) they are not reselling anyone. Unless as I mentioned if they are reselling the boxes that Reliablesite.net is offerings to their direct clients.

I don't have a problem with your services, I have a problem with him using your hosting(which resells RamNode) for hosting his website while he's attempting to start a hosting company. If you're going to start a hosting company, don't buy from a reseller to resell.

How does free service = broke? If I was broke I'd charge.

You tried to charge but you got exposed too many times and became irrelevant.
