Okay, but he's still banned under the given identity.
(There aren't many long threads here started by a user banned under the given identity.)
That's true.
This has turned into Meme Central and also provides good reading material for people who are new to LET
Actually no need to restore the data.. Provisioning on new blank VPS should be a better option than giving longer free services..
I agree. Maybe it would have been much better to simply re-provision all the servers as blank within a couple of days while offering some apologies, instead of all this downtime with partial recovery and free credit.
The downtime sucks, but what sucks more is the lack of communication.
Yeah, I was ready to cut him some slack as I know how this can be tiring and depressing, but it is just ridiculous at this point.
I get it, "a fost facut albie de porci" as we say here, something like "tarred and feathered" so I can understand the reluctance to come here, but he can send a PM to someone with the progress and ideas for the future and I am sure they would post it.
WHMCS is not enough at this point. You can see what you can recover in 1-2 days, his service comes AS IS without any guarantees for the data so a complete wipe and some apologies could have been done in, say, 10 days max, because many customers, given the choice would have opted for a "refound" and the remaining good disks would have sufficed. Buy and add more later as needed.
Seems there is people who think that Borta care to restore his "services". Abandon this false hope. Even if he manages to restore portion of service, reputation at this point is so negative that any normal business will go bankrupt.
People wake up. Nothing left. Chargeback the hell out of it and cary on.
@cociu please post storage deals.
cociu be like
Well, I like negative reputation, I have been a customer of ChicagoVPS foryears.
I did not receive new overdue emails, guess that's some good news? /s 🤪
Their mail system is involucrated.
In this special report, we cover zapped hard drives, financial questions, Romanian weddings, time travel, and how a woman in Alabama met an extraterrestrial traveler. It's all here for your entertainment in LowEndBoxTV's video, "The Involucration Saga."
Tbh it is more entertaining than I thought it would be
Good job 
IMHO, someone should just give him/them a call and ask what’s going on - preferably someone who’s directly impacted by this.
Regardless of how much people are paying for their services, they’re still paying customers and this is business after all, not some project with best-effort availability and support.
If the provider will not take the initiative to provide the community or their customers with the necessary updates, then someone should go get them.
It is? Most customers enjoyed the fact their servers are hosted in some romanian warehouse thats owned by a perfume shop. Street cred over 9000.
If HS actually deadpools then I'm not even sure wether to feel sorry for people that loose hundreds in account credit. Thats like using darknet-market XY as you main bitcoin wallet and then whining incase you loose it.
This thread has reached a rate of evilness too hard for me to digest. It now involves moderators (as involucre) for advertising BuyVM and it's rules of hosting through online videos, while doing a personal attack on another person (like mentioning his innocent wedding, showing his innocent wife, and it's participants) just because that person owns an affected business (that tried to find a solution through refunds or free service; it tried).
This is way too much evil for me. Something like this never happened when other big providers or summer hosts went down. It did not happen either when same guys or failed providers started different companies and talked their way out with promises. It did not happen when ColoCrossing was owning this place. But it happens now, and with a provider from Romania, old around here, who still has many services up. (NOTE: If the whole business was down, this would be page 470, not 47)
Meanwhile: my services with HostSolutions are working great. So there is no point for me to participate in this evilness any longer, because my services are up. However, I no longer wish to dedicate my time to something which is blown out of proportion, obviously for the hidden agenda of some featured provider around here, who wants to walk on sick bodies (it seems).
For the first time LowEndTalk seems to become LowTalk. I will see what happens, but so much toxicity should not come from other providers, and especially from community moderators.
I shall no longer comment on this thread, and I will try to hide it using BetterLET script.
Last 30 days uptime: 0.0000%
FWIW: Situation unchanged. 7 out of 9 systems I have access to are working OK.
@default
I largely agree. His wife for example has nothing to do with it and his "some romanian warehouse owned by a perfume shop" DC seems to work fine, so why belittle it. Anyone expecting a Tier 3+ DC at that price level should not smear @cociu but see a psychiatrist.
I'm p_ssed off too by what seems to be an old boys network that is dishing out "generously" but rather sensitive when criticism is directed at them. The fact that even some admins and mods seem to be involved is very unpleasant.
That said one should also see that this site is provided for free to us and that LET/LEB isn't a church. Plus, evidently it's not the LET teams fault that cociu keeps worsening the clusterf_ck by stubbornly refusing to communicate over a period of weeks.
But still, fairness and treating each other well are fundamental pillars for a community and should be striven for and nourished.
Three years ago I tried to warn you about HS, for three years he bewitched you with words and reached the predictable end - Ponzi scheme
For 3-4 years you haven't seen a picture with the thousands of servers....racks ... 3 x DC (the largest in RO).. only words
Last year he moved the servers from his own super DC to the colocation, after a police check (found no DMCA....child pornography), you didn't think that a tax check (IRS) will follow + colocation providers don´t accept no DMCA.... + if you don´t pay the bill they cut your down......
This is the real world of hosting not stories.
Maybe you should introduce yourself and your business before you receive the title of provider.....
What did you learn from this story ?
I lived two such moments:
You still believe the stories of a no one....
Actually, No. AFAIK he didn't file for bankruptcy and 7 out of the 9 systems I have access to are working OK.
Plus, you didn't warn us. You hunted your competitor @cociu and bashed him wherever you could. The "warning" was just cosmetics.
Well, what do we actually know about you? Next to nothing. Basically just words, your words.
Or no, wait, we know something else too; we know that you seem to need business so urgently that you'll even try to pull competitors down into a pig pit.
I've seen plenty positive comments from HostSolutions customers here, cociu had built up quite a crowd of loyal customers. You? Not so much; in fact I've yet to see even a single one.
"I see plenty of positive comments".
LOL!
Dont come back with this "blah blah but 7 out 9 of my services are still up" - it is actually retarded to expect that to be normal.
Want to buy an unicorn? I'll deliver you an horse with an horn tied to it since it's clearly fucking normal to not get what you order. No matter how much you pay for it.
At this point I can't understand who's more stupid, you or this cow barn DC pro.
Oh right, I forgot you don't care about my opinion. I'm glad you don't. Neither do I about yours or your new best friend on this forum who repped hostdoc with all his heart.
Curious…which end of the horse will the horn be tied?
Scammer!
Depends how many horns do you want for the least amount of money?
... except for the fact that you comment on my post right away ...
But hey, I'll show some good will and try a rational discussion with you.
"7 out 9 systems working OK" is not opinion, nor is it related to me liking HostSolutions / @cociu or not. It's a simple fact.
Are those systems in a good DC? I don't know, my guess is it's "good enough", probably about a Tier II range.
Is HostSolutions a good provider? No, obviously not. But then, they are very cheap which obviously means that there are some compromises.
Is cociu's (current) behaviour OK? No, absolutely not. Having a downtime can happen, even to high end providers. But virtually not communicating during a downtime is totally unacceptable.
Would I buy a VPS from HostSolutions? No, I wouldn't, because a not so great VPS but dirt cheap is attractive for quite a few use cases, but a provider refusing to communicate is so totally unacceptable that I don't consider buying from them again, no matter their prices.
But there are some who actually would buy from cociu even now and have said so - and that and the fact that I wouldn't doesn't mean that those people are idiots. It just means that their situation, means, needs, demands and risk acceptance are different from mine or yours.
Of course. But not in this length where you have 2% uptime per 30 days while announcing new products. Ehm, sure, lets say his drives did catch fire or what ever, move your customers to your other nodes until you sort it out. Seems quite reasonable to me?
True. Won't even argue on that.
