Let's make a list of providers to replace hostsolutions.ro
As with the recent fiasco with hostsolutions.ro many of us are looking for a cheap VPS with lots of storage and bandwidth.
If you are a provider:
Post some amazing storage deals here for people to grab, even your own current listing on your website will do. Please also post a quick AUP, and add if the storage is DMCA ignored or not, and are torrents allowed,
If you are an end-user:
Found an alternative to hostsolutions.ro POST THEM. If you don't you may just bump this thread, I guess that would be nice.
Thanks to everyone who will decide to participate in this thread, and help all refugees from hostsolutions to live another day.
Peace

What kind of pricing did they offer?
oh boy 30 eur p/y for 1GB ram 1 vcore 1TB HDD 10TB BW
But we need any kind of deals, and you probably got them so if ya can post them
External drive attached to my PC and high speed internet. Noone to blame but myself it it crashes now
You need to be banned for making a thread suggesting that this host needs a replacement. Paging @default, get in here and berate him. We DO NOT suggest that this provider is anything short of perfection on LET, and if you know what's good for you you'll keep your mouth shut... OR ELSE.
@virmach - don't you already have enough pending orders?
This was KVM? What kind of RAID? And what read/write speeds and upload/download speeds could you realistically expect? Would Amsterdam location be comparable to the locations they offered?
I got some parts for our storage node that's been delayed, but it'll be in Los Angeles. So I should be able to see if I can get it going today.
(edit) Forgot to mention why this is important, I won't be having Netherlands for some time.
Actually, not many people took the storage offer.
Unsustainable.
30 Euros a year for 1TB could be done. I'm not going to promise anything, but I would like to think we don't mind taking some losses if we can help anyone out who has been (allegedly) screwed over by a company.
yes KVM, RAID 0 as I remember, 5 disks in RAID 0 kind of speeds, 500 Mbit would be realistic for burst and anything for constant. Hell yeah AMS would do, and they did Romania
Oh man.
I don't see this advertised on their site or any type of warnings about this, am I okay to assume though that somehow their customers still knew that their data was at risk? Or would they only find out after it was lost forever? Was this primarily used then for data that was unimportant?
sorry got it mixed up it was raid 10
Okay, final question, how important is Europe location? I assume it's pretty important?
Most seem to want DMCA Free etc etc
Okay, so this is something we could do. I don't know the timeline and we're notoriously bad with them so I won't even promise to sell this yet, but I would need to somehow register the level of interest.

Anyone interested, please fill out the form. I'll try to either update you here or via email about how we'll proceed.
I honestly can't comment on this. In my opinion nobody could replace HostSolutions offers because they were too damn cheap, but you are smart enough to already know that math.
To try and answer your call: Yes, HostSolutions would need a replacement. This is because provider tag was removed from HostSolutions, so this low-end provider's chair is now available.
I love offers. I love LET for special offers. I can see Virmach already tries to step up. I respect @Virmach for the courage.
Wait until Chia explodes before digging this grave.
I could do it, but HDD prices are meh. I found some good deals here and there.
Isn’t worth it tbh, seeing that cociu went bankrupt for doing such deals says a lot.
whatever you end up doing, dont put yourself out of business.
Ok so who can replace my hostsolutions.ro Server
i currently "have"/had
1vCPU
6.9GB RAM
69GB SSD
1GBit @ 6TB Bandwidth
1€/y Recurring
Post could contain non-serious claims
P.s. Yes im certain im not the reason he went Bankrupt
We are now proud owners of 36x brand new 14TB HDDs (for about the same price we got our 16TB HDDs, not terrible.) Edit: plus 4 extras in case any immediately fail.
There are were multiple positive factors about hostsolutions
End users and server owner had good privacy because of those factors.
Romania is one of very few European Union members where data retention law isnt enforced and was labeled as unconsitutional.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive
Those were my personal factors.
BTW I never pushed more than 1-4TB of bandwidth on those servers, having 30TB in price felt very comforting
I can do DMCA ignored and unmetered BW in any location but HDD storage in Moldova (or any other location) is out of stock for a good few months and HS prices are unsustainable. Was thinking of doing a byo drive offer in Moldova. We worked out if you could send the drive to our London office we could have it sent down and installed for £10. Just not sure what the take-up for such an offer would be like.
@apeweb make sure to charge a clear and distinct shipping and HANDLING fee for the drives return (like $10 plus postage to return it etc. And get the fee upfront
We would. Don't pay return shipping fee = no returned drive so is easy to enforce.
Well maybe that's why we call it "legendary" deal.
For anyone wanting to create the next Deadpool failure of a host here are some domain ideas.
