Should I renew my VPS plan with INIZ?
I have the INIZ VPS, which I am paying $26 annually. I don't know if I should keep it, considering the company ownership change. I have not faced any problems during my last 9 months hosting with them, participatory I am happy about their up-time.

If it works keep it, not a bad deal.
You've got 3 months to run on the plan by the sound of it, so why not ask yourself this question in 2 months time, when you've seen a how the new owners run thing for another couple of month?
if you are happy with it, why not continue your happines
It does raise questions though. Patrick has stepped back, he provided confirmation that nothing is changing but let's be fair, INIZ owes it's success in no small part to LET/LEB
The new owner has registered here, not seen him post anything. In fact I remember approving his account. His note said "Patrick told me to register", seems a bit sheepish.
Whilst Patrick is trustworthy and reliable it does not change the fact he does not own INIZ any more.
It would good manners if nothing else for the new owner to step forward and give some assurances which will in turn stop people asking the question of whether to stay in threads like this.
If you have no issues with it and you "need" it, keep it.
Even if the ownership has changed there has been plenty of time to "fuck things up".
Do you expect this to change? Then don't renew it.
Usually service will switch automatically to new owner. And usually there will be no change in price.
If there is a change and you have no problems that why not go ahead ?
I do not think that it is fair to expect that the new owner is going to be like Patrick in how things are being approached, i imagine that both have their own vision of how to run INIZ - If the new owner decides to not participate in LET then thats fine aslong he atleast keeps the service running like it should be.
Indeed and that is his choice, I am only suggesting it as a courtesy given the support the brand has received from people here in the past.
There was an emotional bounding
Just don't ever pay yearly, unless it's $15 or less (and even then).
Let's see
...is about $2.16/month for your
Right now you can get a RunAbove VPS at $2.50/month https://www.runabove.com/instances/sandbox.xml
Not only it will have 2x RAM, it's also KVM and not OpenVZ; and do you really use the 50GB disk space?
The best part, no lock-in, don't like it -- cancel next month.
There is no reason whatsoever to pay yearly. That way lies only grief, trouble and lost money.
Especially in a fast-changing market like this one, and with small-time one man show providers.
Sometimes, when it use as a production server, i won't host it through runabove, they blocked port 25 and no ptr / rdns enabled. Sometimes i love runabove so much, i need it but i hate it too
That's basically all of OVH.
Not sure what you mean, outgoing SMTP and PTR do work on OVH's VPS Classic, not to mention dedis. At RunAbove perhaps they still haven't figured spam filtering yet. One more thing to mention here, RA has no IPv6, but that also means if you run an IPv6 tunnel, you can use outgoing SMTP over IPv6.
Useless without ptr / rdns enabled, hotmail yahoo will put your mail into spam folder. Actually it was easy since we can setup a SMTP relay. Just my personal opinion.
