PSA: A bunch of LEB hosts deadpooling ArkaHosting, SupremeVPS, UMaxHosting, Hosting73, HostBRZ, Ku

Today, a whole bunch of LEB hosts sent out an email similar to this:
Dear Customer,
Over the past few months we have been met with many challenges within the hosting business. Some that have not been overcome.
As result of this we will be closing our doors. We will be shutting down this Monday 12/9/2019. We are taking this time to let our customers know so that they may backup and retrieve all of their data before then.
We deeply apologize for this inconvenience.
Thank You.

Doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's a tiny group of people rotating shell companies to milk money out of fools.
Have you sued your host yet? Do it now.
Exactly, it's just that it really doesn't take a genius to get scammed by said people.
Wow I am so surprised that they deadpooled! Who would have thought of that?

I know right! I mean, they are premium and dedicated to customer service and OMG it's so unexpected!!!1111 /s
You can add DCNHost, ServerStrong, and LQHosting to your list also.
Done, thanks for your contribution
They had the decency of lasting around 6 months before.
I guess that no longer matters. Not surprising, given the state of things as of late.
Have you sued your host yet? Do it now.
While it was 100% totally expected from them, still have to give them credit for not disappearing suddenly without chance to recover your data.
At least they didn't deadpool overnight and am giving people until Monday to pull everything off their VPSs..
The question is how soon would they be back and under what name?
This is a very good point, it has given me time to alert the people who are on my free shitty shithost experiment to backup their miners and spam scripts lol
add stronghosting to the list
EVERYTHING IS MUCH BETTER THAN IT WAS 1 YEAR AGO
You left out:
MegaZoneHosting.
I am a simple man. I see a company posting 'specials' on LEB, I fucking RUN!
@dahartigan Please help changing the thread title to include all the names, if it even fits

You can add Bigfoot Servers to the list also.
Could you please confirm the new title is suitable? Feel free to use your mod powers to edit my post if you want to
Thank you
Thanks man
Thanks
Called it back when HiFormance deadpooled
You mean that 4 GB RAM and 120 GB disk for $25/year isn't sustainable?!?! No way

Maybe it would be easier to post the names of any companies featured on LEB in the last year that aren't going under.
Honeslty i think everyone here should report colocrossing to the ftc at the very least, if not the irs for probable tax evasion.
There, I made the list for you.

Were they all run by the same person?
Yes.
But know that @jbiloh and @cvps_chris had no idea that was the case. Promise.

Add Hosting73 to the list, por favor.
Yeah. ColonCrossing. That seems too be a real thing, unlike IPv6 - http://thebodyvr.com/colon-crossing/
Edit: Autocorrect, damnit.
Here's something interesting -
All these hosts are deadpooling within three days of announcing they are shutting down. 17 out of 18 of these hosts were featured on LEB within the past 2 months offering yearly contracted services. I guarantee no one is getting refunds from this (aside from charging back, which I suggest everyone starts considering right about now). Let me know if you're still having any issues seeing why no one trusts LEB/CC.

They were the very first one, in fact, Hosting73 is where my free shitty shit shithosting was served from
So you single-handedly upset their entire business model and got them in the red?
thanks Obama ...
the Amitz.party lives on!
They were just going to keep milking it up until they got hit with those first cPanel bills it seems. Charge back. Before it's too late, my dudes. Though, I hope no one here fell for any of these shenanigans.

They’re not even trying to avoid association. The dead pool email is identical to the letter.
Or is this a template given by CC in their welcome email?

There's reason to believe these hosts are related to alpharacks. They stole the alpharacks account database, so either alpharacks sold it or they used it to advertise their new scams.
Got this letter from hosted simply and from x4servers.
Can you share a screenshot from x4servers?

Maybe it's from the "So you sold unsustainable offers" part of the CC handbook.

Another one for the list.
God damn.

Yep this is a massive exit scam, all of these hosts have been offering yearly plans on LEB for the past few months. Same price points as alpharacks. This should be reported to the authorities, lots of money has been stolen here.
N3servers too.

I am too tired for this drama after the long VirMach week...
Why should I give a fck when CC doesnt? I will not close nor merge any duplicate threads about this, let it burn.

Sparkvps
it is a good time for another provider to acquires their customers
LEMPer is yet another LEMP stack installer (plus cli-based LEMP stack management tool).
Start your LEMP stack on the reliable cloud VPS instance starting only from around $5/mo.
I agree mate, you've been working too hard lately for this shit. We love you @FAT32 and we appreciate the awesome contributions you make to this community. LET it burn
Burn, baby, burn....

More likely they delete the posts from LEB.
