Funny.. I was apparently already paying for this and never knew it came with email. Too bad there is a 6 person hard limit as I need 7 accounts.

Just tested a bit and it looks like only domains with DNS hosted by Godaddy work with this.

Also looking for recommended paid/simple alternatives. Email only. Been using it for family email on a custom domain and am not looking forward to funding a dozen accounts every month for eternity.

This is exactly what I see. Run and e-commerce site with 175k different product pages. Each have a ton of differentiation and keywords. Huge investments is page metadata and sitemap haven't resulted in Google ever indexing more than half the pages.

Latency (time to first byte) in serving infrequently accessed images was a big problem with me and B2. The cost was low enough that I've stuck with it though and coded on the front end of the site to use placeholder images until the real media can be retrieved.

First job out of college used Notes. Hated it.

Since then I've personally declined new work where Notes was the standard.

Founder of Appointment.one here. We've been expanding this offering for awhile now. Anxious to see feedback from anyone in our target audience which consists of people meeting outside their organization. Think sales, recruiting, freelancing, etc.

Very happy with SparkPost. Love their webhooks and their advanced content substitution engine.

Is there a correlation between high-unemployment countries and the availability/quality of off-shore tech labor?

Sure the local market may be in shambles, and the level of effort/risk to bring on new permanent employees may be out of whack. Assuming the talent and drive exists, shouldn't this drive the freelancing segment?

Does the average person find touchscreen on a laptop or desktop to be of any value?

Last week I walked into the Microsoft store looking to purchase a new laptop. I couldn't get over the Windows 8 interface and instead went to the Apple store across the hallway and purchased by first Mac laptop.

A lot of my customers find the latency from Australia to southern Asia, EMEA, or North America far higher than what' typical with South America to North America. Might be a user experience play more than anything else.

When I hear about a slow loading site, especially due to many third party includes and dependencies my secondary concern from an operational perspective is what happens when those 3rd party links go down?

Does the page load up as blank? Stop loading halfway through? Very difficult for WashPost to achieve high availability when they only control a portion of the experience.

This is a huge win for anyone hosting data that falls under Japan's very strict privacy and data export restrictions, and shows Linode is definitely competing for space in the professional hosting market.

Most providers offer a Japan hosting solution as the second facility in the APAC region after opening in Singapore or Hong Kong. Sing/HK is used for the bulk of the hosting business so typically the first offered but a Japan presence is next up, regardless of size, to offer a complete global solution for customers who handle data that must be within the Japanese borders in-place.

Working at a high-touch hosting services vendor I understand all customer requests to be something that must be individually considered and addressed - but that's within the context of a much larger hosting partnership that funds such consideration on a regular basis.

Is there risk to the "positive" reputation you may get from doing this on in a B2C or low-touch B2B environment? Will this re-anchor customer expectations and lead to disappointment when receiving standard support?

I'm trying to think of a B2C company that's known for freebie's and a "customer is always right" attitude (names are escaping me at the moment). I'd feel slighted if I didn't receive that exceptionally high service level associated with the brand.

There's a distinct audience for the sales reps - likely more on the business or procurement side. Any good provider will have sales engineers who can speak to the technology side and the impact technology has on the business or financials of the overall hosting engagement.

A multi-person model is structured around larger enterprises that already have separate staff representing these different roles.
