Hows URPad doing?

I remember them from years ago, how are they doing now? Haven't seen them on lowendbox since 2013.

    They were bought out, the new company did a switch and bait, promised the earth and then closed most locations moving customers to existing infrastructure, support quality turned to dog shit and they were never heard from again around here.

    They've been sending me invoices for months now, and for the same amount of time, they've been promising to investigate why one of my services just magically disappeared (but actually just auto-close every ticket without notification after a day or three).

    And that was after I had to argue with an absolutely idiotic and clueless L1 tech for a day or two, to convince him that it really was the typical IP reassignment problem with SolusVM, and needed to be escalated to an actual tech. After he'd restarted the wrong service without even asking in an attempt to 'fix the problem'.

    Stay away from them. Very, very far away.

    My name used to be FTN-Chris until I sold FTN and its brands which included URPad.

    Sorry for all the issues you guys are having, its been over 2 years since I have sold and things unfortunately seem to have taken a turn for the worse with the company which I sold to.

    @AnthonySmith @joepie91 @larry @Dillybob @TarZZ92 @namhuy @HyperSpeed Somedays I wish I never attempted to take that step out of the industry.

    never understood why you would call a company "your pad"

    I also get the Shitty Spam from URPad Blog :-3

  • Quite unfortunate, I believe they are operating at a loss per their blog post. How someone can turn a company making 6 figures in profit annually into a complete loss is beyond me, this should be a lesson to everyone, every successful hosting company needs active leadership team and experienced management.

    The sad thing about URPad?

    @ChrisMiller & @QuadraNet_Adam were a complete couple of misfits that should not have worked when they ran URpad, but somehow they did and it made money.

    It's a crazy world :P

    Not my fault I wanted to try new things... But I accept your criticism. :(

    Never thought after what the told me and what they told you with this: https://web.archive.org/web/20130607164236/http://www.urpad.net/blog/root-level-technology-extends-hosting-family-acquisition-ftnhosting-brands

    That the changes would happen.. I tried my best to stop them when I worked for them for a short time but was unsuccessful at saving my baby.
