Screwed by ChicagoVPS and BlueVM

I renewed my BlueVM VPS in May and until recently hadn't used it, but noticed that BlueVM were bought by ChicagoVPS in the meantime. Stupidly, I thought that meant the service would get better.

First the control panel link didn't work, so after a long wait to get a response to my ticket, I now had the seemingly secret URL, and could manage my server.

That's when the second surprise came about: My VPS now had 1/10th the resources I paid for. So that's how ChicagoVPS made economic sense from the purchase!

I've had no response to my complaint, and I'm not optimistic I will. It looks like ChicagoVPS's strategy is to pay one guy in India to run interference on BlueVM customers for long as possible while ChicagoVPS stays on the gravy train.

Well, I guess that's one way to make money.

Comments

  • They probably made a mistake on the resource part, but given its chicagovps, it's probably intended. Oh well, wait a couple of days for their support and if that doesn't work, charge back. Good luck.

  • Maybe @CVPS_Chris can shed some light.

    Your comments are not funny, even if you may think they are. You come across as some [idiot] kid who just found out about the Internet.

    OP:

    Cancel your service.

    PS:

    @neills: the "thanks" is probably by accident :)

  • I was a client of BlueVM & ChicagoVPS at the time BlueVM was acquired by ChicagoVPS. It was simple to get service(s) transferred, I originally made a support ticket on BlueVM then they told me to make one with the information about the paid services I had to transfer and got it. It was really easy and I got it done within a night.

    Sounds familiar..

    Oh yeah, those ads.

  • Have you seen the ad on LET with that "I'm not a cougar just a cow but boy do I have a VPS 4 you"? I thought it was funny, until I clicked on it and was taken to CVPS...

    Somebody with admin access said it had one of the higher ctr-s on site among the ads, but it was a while ago I think. Guess many people love strange looking men offering them virtual servers.

    I clicked it, just thought it was funny so I wanted to know who was behind it. What I learned is that even an absolutely-the-bottom-tier VPS provider can have a sense of humor.

    Interesting. If I decide one day to advertise on here, I'll put up the meatspin advert to get abnormal.ly high click-through rates then!

    "Oh Boy, Let Me Spin A VPS For You!"

    If you mean i83, no, they are still there and very stable. I recently renewed my NAT ip small (128) box with them that is still working like a charm

  • One folks told here, don't touch, but other folks still confused.. :)
