    All my data lost. I don't care much, but it is offline, so I've lost access to VPS which I paid for. That sucks. New provider, "but some things will never change" as 2Pac sang.

    Title should be 'Hostress have shat the bed'

    1. Delete everything
    2. Force people to go through the hassle of rebuilding their boxes
    3. Consolidate remaining VMs into 1 server vs multiple in each location, save some money
    4. Never profit. Continue to lose money and pass around user data

    You forgot step 5.

    5: Rinse and repeat.

  • How exactly can multiple locations have data loss at the same time?

    VMs can be migrated without this embarrassment.

    "shit in their own nest" would be a better cliche to use

    sure they can. but if you want to save yourself time and effort and dont give a fuck about the customers you can just say 'ooops we lost your data due to the previous owners! blame them!'

    I have never heard that one before.

    I was wondering too. If it was a one node, it can be happened. Even DO lost their VM's once.

    No one going to say it?

    I wonder if there is a single person out there that will renew with Hostress when their term is up?

    also I wonder if Hostress has ever had a client that just signed up instead of being acquired from a shithost.

    I can't think of many reasons to have data loss at multiple servers and locations at the same time other than developing some wrong configuration and badly breaking everything or being hacked.

    @XFS_Duke @XFS_Nicole Are you going to stand for being inferred as incompetent?

    "Problematic host" + "important data" - "own backups" = "you knew it, but still failed".

    Bruce said: 99.9% is such a cliche in the hosting world. really doesn't mean much.

    Please dont generalize:

    I might, depending on whether they can still manage to offer the 8TB, 250GB plans. They're not reliable, but still great for sharing, er, Linux isos. That kind of bandwidth is great for relaying data.

  • Mahfuz_SS_EHLMahfuz_SS_EHL Host Rep, Veteran

    Is "DTXOVZ1" Node affected ?? I'm there on 290 GB Plan !

    I think, it's a trick. Because, Loss of Data, at a specific time, in different locations, in different nodes seems suspicious. How can the HDD's be damaged at this particular time ??

    I think GVH Sold some Big HDD Plans & there was no space left for customers to use that & so, it (data loss) was planned to clean the HDD's !!!

    That'd be 100% correct... until GVH v2 comes back with more unstable plans...

    Well as one person has already commented they still have read/write snmp access from the previous owners to the nodes, with that sort of 'oops' for want of a better way of putting it I think it is more likely to have been a compromise with malicious intent.

    Multiple servers at multiple sites...I vote for hacked.

    I notice @tdale has been rather quiet about what the cause of this problem was, which makes me suspect it's something embarrassing.

    Well, I think it's the right time to move away.

    who to choose though, considering the low-rent nature of GVH clients. are the alternatives any less dodgy ?
