R.I.P. Nodecomet
Usually, isn't this the time of the year that summer hosts appear? Well...
Hello!
It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce NodeComet will be ceasing operations
effective July 25, 2017. It was a short notice and a good run while it lasted, but due to other
investments, the NodeComet brand has been through a chaotic ride. As NodeComet's plans
were targeted for the low-end market as well, we simply did not make enough to make
ends meet.
We will continue to honor your existing account duration up to one year from today. Please
make backups and start your plans to find accommodation elsewhere. Please cancel any and
all existing Paypal subscriptions. We do not refund these.
While the billing and support portal will be taken down, NodeComet support can always be
reached at [email protected]. We will be continuing our other investments with
managed hosting and our other brands.
We apologize for the announcement. Rest assured that we will continue to honor your
existing contract with us.
Thank you.

5 1/2 months. Not bad!
Summer hosts have become Black Friday hosts at this point. You can look at Vortex and a few others that showed up a couple months prior, spammed CC deals then ran off.

That's us.
NodeComet was started by me and two friends who work at a local dev house and it was like a side-project for us since it's another potential market we could get given the nature of our work (web development).
Pricing-wise it was too good to be sustainable and I admit it. Plus some of our providers had a ton of issues over the months that it was just too much for a budget host brand.
However I'll commit to keeping the contracts for their duration. That's all I could say on the matter, sorry and thanks.
At least, this is something.
Didn't quite understand, so are the clients staying online until their next due date or is everything going off?
What don't you understand?
"We will continue to honor your existing account duration up to one year from today."
"However I'll commit to keeping the contracts for their duration"
Well they also say:
Used the wrong words. We'll honor the accounts for their duration. What I meant by ceasing operations is that we would no longer accept new accounts. That was poorly-worded, I apologize.
