It was a late night. I'd been given charge of replacing some hot swaps. It's just one of those things that always happen at night. On this occasion, a stormy, rainy night, with no-one around and the air heavy with anticipation.
How odd. I couldn't find the light switch and the feeling of something not right, something unusual began to play on my mind as lightning threw strange shadows across the walls. I sensed I wasn't alone.
I walked up to the last cabinet and by chance, lightening coursed through the sky once more, lighting up a clown mannequin, sending adrenaline through my veins. It felt like a thousand hot needles had seared their way through my arms and legs and put me on high alert.
Shaken to the core, I finally made the call:
"Hi Sean, I'm just swapping these drives out."
"Oh great. We need those online asap. How's it going?"
"It's fine - I'm just at the cabinet now."
"Make sure you get the right one haha!"
"Yeah, I'm just at the cabinet on the left, opposite the clown."
Suddenly, Sean's voice trails off, the laughter draining away to silence.
"Get out of there right now..."
Panicked, I asked "Why? What's wrong?"
"You've gone into the clothing warehouse next door again you clod."
Happy Halloween!

Terms & Conditions
This is a DireVPS offer so please read our ToS (it's on the front page of www.direvps.com). If you feel any anxiety or concern with our ToS, please don't sign up. It's a budget product with a specific value proposition for those that understand and accept what they're singing up for.
For those that don't yet know us, we're not a scam but we do our best to try to appear as one.
Custom orders are available but only for quantities of 10 VPS or more.
Whilst we support any hardware and infrastructure issues we provide no other support beyond this so you'll need to know how to install your VPS and configuring the network (i.e. entering the IP address, subnet, DNS servers - information available from within the control panel).
There are no refunds - these products are for people who know what they're doing so we ask you not to buy a DireVPS product unless you know what you're doing. If you don't have the expertise to manage a VPS yourself, please check out OpenITC instead.
