an unsolicited plug for a great server admin/tech person
I've done almost all of the server admin, billing/affiliate config, and so forth for our sites for almost 5 years, but I'm getting too busy to deal with a lot of the day to day, and plus, it's really not a good use of my time.
In the past several months, I've finally found someone that I trust who is both very reasonably priced (about $35-45/hr, depending on what he's doing) and very fair with his billing.
He just resolved a persistent problem we were having between the CCBill/Paycom/NATS member management interfaces that had been bugging me off and on for months. He's also taken care of a (non-Gaybucks) box of mine that got hacked a few months back, handling upgrades/security/etc for us, and a lot of other things. He seems to always be available, almost 24 hours a day, when we need him, and you can buy an hour of his time or he'll fairly charge you by the project for whatever you need.
I just wanted to let people in the community know about him, because I hear people (those who aren't with Chilihost, of course!) complaining about how difficult it is to get good support.
He doesn't do a lot of support for adult clients at present, but is totally open to working with them, has good Linux admin knowledge as well as a solid understanding of PHP/MySQL, Smarty, and server security issues.
His name is Tom Whiting, and his website is www.linux-tech.net. I very highly recommend using him if you ever have any admin needs. Feel free to mention us if you hit him up.
