Who the hell are those hosts that I should care?
RootNerds was a popular openvz host here on LET, go and search and you will see they made offers here for a long time. If you happen to still be using them now, obviously this shows they have now been purchased from the German company which previously was running the brand.
Cheers!
I can't decide if I should make a joke about Casino Royale or @theroyalstudent
I'm guessing all the previous RN staff were axed.
Ouch: https://www.hostroyale.com
Why yes...yes I do...am I supposed to feel bad about using ipv4, or...?
How dare you! You're part of the problem!
Annnnd just where do you think you're going to put THAT?
Anyone ever play The Hand of Fate from the early 90's?
Different view than one I saw earlier...that redirect wasn't there.
The original page:
https://www.hostroyale.com/index.html
There is a newer game also called hand of fate. Came out last year
That's not my company :P
@Damian
I just noticed, the image is scary indeed, will be changed in a bit and we will be using a better image.
Thanks for bringing this to our notice guys.
HostRoyale who?
RootNerds who?
rootnerds acquired other hosts iirc 1-2 years back.
Who is who? Never heard of them.
Royale with cheese.
Royal host acquired the root of the nerds?
Congrats to both of them
I'm used rootnerds VPS for one year from LEB deal. They was good in that time.
@RootNerds WTH is wrong with your system. All the sudden about 48 hours ago I got an alert a new server was setup in my account. Then I received an invoice. I then logged into my billing portal to see that I now had another server which was 'terminated'. I then opened a ticket and now 24+ hours later I receieved an overdue invoice notice from your system and yet, no ticket reply from you. If your goal is to make services better, so far your failing miserably. Please check my ticket #PGC-423-71652 and reply with whats going on!
Cheers!
Maybe WHT (or whatever) leaks lead to your account being compromised and someone is spamming in your name or sumethin'.

We are still in the process of moving things and fixing problems, during this period, there can be mistakes for which we apologize.
