McMyHost Disappeared?

WellGrounded

I have an account with them, now I can't even login, says my account doesn't exist and my VPS is offline. Emailed them with no response, anyone else a customer?

mcmyhost

Nope, we're still around.

The email takes a little while to get a response. I'll check it right now.

Looks to be the same for me, I have (or had) an account with them.

Last I have on my records with them is that they were experiencing downtime on the 8th of February due to a DDOS.

Feathur control panel is empty too... DB issue? hope it's still there.

As compensation for these issues we've upgraded all affected clients VPS specs.

How/Why did this happen?

Old owner didn't have any more time to manage McMyHost so he contacted me and asked if I would be interested in this position. I said sure, and he handed over everything to me. Naturally, I left his account in whmcs untouched in case he wanted to checkup on his former company. A few days ago he obviously had reconsidered his handing over of the company and asked me if he could have it back. I told him that I had invested too much of my time to give the company back to him. Obviously he wasn't happy about this and deleted a portion of our WHMCS Accounts and VPS Users/ Plans. I have since deleted his WHMCS account and installed a few new security features.

Sounds like bullshit.

Why why, oh why would you ever think this was an acceptable action? You painted a target on your database asking for something like that to happen. If he relinquished control of the company (however that was done), his account should have been the first thing that was changed and all other logins disabled or changed to prevent any further interactions.

Yeah, this isn't the way to go...

@mcmyhost if you left the guy with WHCMS access after he moved the company to you, then you're about as suitable a hosting provider as he was.

Well I bought one a few months ago and it works I guess. Mainly got it for a project that I needed the cheapest thing I could find in Chicago and for $1 a month I guess I can't complain. There have been many issues with downtime thanks to DDoS attacks against their host node or something, but when it is available it works...

I can so much relate to that. I am one of the most undemanding customers, I can take without blinking weeks of downtime if the price is right. It all depends on what you need it for.
