Up2VPS Seattle Moving to Letbox.com

As of Sunday Up2VPS is now moving there clients from Seattle, WA to Dallas, TX with http://letbox.com/ whom I have never heard of. It really is a sad day.

Just thought I would start a discussion on it in case some customers don't know yet.

    I just renewed my 2 LetBox VPSs, they're not bad. The network is decent and the performance is nice, we get some random downtime but nothing extensive.

    Per NodePing:
    VPS1 - Uptime for last 30 days: 99.853%
    VPS2 - Uptime for last 30 days: 99.869%

    Network tests:
    Cachefly: 21.5 MB/s
    San Jose: 1.88 MB/s
    Denver 9.24 MB/s
    Tampa: 8.44 MB/s
    Atlanta: 10.7 MB/s

  • Over freaking due. UP2VPS was looking to sell. Did they or merge or just hosting elsewhere?

    What network is LETBox on @KuJoe?

    All of the network tests above go over AboveNet.

  • Abovenet... Hmmm Corexchange?

    PM a partial traceroute @KuJoe...

    Anyone know if UP2VPS got bought or what the end result was?

  • Anyone know if UP2VPS got bought or what the end result was?

    LOL.

  • Yep @DomainBop... I partook in that fun... Wasn't any clear outcome...

  • @pubcrawler said: Anyone know if UP2VPS got bought or what the end result was?

    My understanding was they only wanted to divest their US locations and focus on Germany.

    Or maybe just shoot off Seattle. Not positive which, but Germany definitely stayed.

  • True @ihatetonyy.

    Last I knew UP2VPS was moving their Seattle to Texas... But it sounds like they hadn't sold, but new colo provider...

    The are moving clients to Dallas at letbox, as such they sold the clients at min.

    If you are looking for a Seattle box, let me know :)

  • I'm looking for something @Alex_LiquidHost... How's that new thingy we talked about coming along?

  • letboxletbox Member, Patron Provider

    We have sold the USA location they no longer provide it.

    Im not sure if you want my business, I run a bunch of source servers, well at least I did in Seattle. I think I am just going to move it to my Fremont Dedicated, but not sure yet.

  • This constant talking about selling "US location" clients is confusing. As far as I know they never sold stuff they host with Volumedrive. Atleast my vps is still up and I haven't recieved any notification about change yet.

    We moved what they offer for us, i'm not sure if they still have some in the bag.

  • I always thought that Scranton (volumedrive) was their main location http://www.lowendbox.com/?s=up2vps&searchsubmit=Find but after all this talking about selling US clientbase was made impression like they have stuff only in Seattle.

  • I think UP2VPS was in multiple locations. Actives sales push for eons was Seattle for them though.

    Wondering why they were selling? I think they are Iranians.... Heard that elsewhere and that would be ummm illegal for them to be selling / buying in the US.

    Here is what I saw. Confirmed with a ticket.

  • Again this "USA location". @Mun - Can you ask them what's with Scranton nodes?

  • that would be a us location spirit. Or those are resold burst servers?

  • MunMun Member

    Ughh, Where is Scranton... U S A.

  • Pennsylvania PA

    Yes of course but all the time they talk only about "USA location" and then Seattle, that's why I am wondering what's with their volumedrive boxes. Not a single word about that. Not even in their previous "USA location" sale thread.

    Also LetBox confirmed:
