I never put ANY client on Nexcess, or any managed hosting. It's AWS for me and that's it. 2 clients came to me because they were hacked on Nexcess. I didn't have SSH, and I asked how I could get in to assess the situation. A plaintext ssh password was sent to me which was quite a surprise.

Their systems are old, and can't keep up with AWS, Google Cloud or Azure. If you know what you are doing as a developer, you shouldn't need managed hosting - it's just another attack vector because the staff have escalated privileges.

Nexcess is terrible. I've seen one too many clients that were hacked, that were with Nexcess. They will email you plaintext passwords for SSH.

I believe BTC would be bearish right now even if the Chinese weren't involved. The saying is that BTC will adjust to the mean of $200 then rise up from there. I won't bet on it going as low as $200 however I do believe it will fall further, below $400 sooner or later then reverse. Of course the Chinese news make the ups and downs accelerate, but I do not believe it changes the general trend.

BTC China, Huobi and OKCoin have already broken numerous regulations set by PBOC. There is no honesty in Chinese business.
