I agree, especially as there are likely a few customers who left CHVPS on bad terms only to be stuck with them again.
BlueVM sold / change of ownership? (UPDATE 5/14: Now owned by ChicagoVPS)
- Thread starter MannDude
- Start date
I'd recommend writing out ChicagoVPS or abbreviating it as CVPS - CHVPS is a different company
LOL. Now today they finally announced the sale. @CVPS_Chris thank you for taking five minutes to announce to the customers of BlueVM that they have been acquired.

There are always reasons why things happen they way they do, and why I waited to have the "public announcment". Since day one, it was always said that BlueVM was sold.
There were more pressing issues that needed to be resolved before a full announcment was made. I ask that you respect decision that I make, as they are the right ones.
You put me under the spot light consistantly, but only about the negatives. How about you talk about the good? Or would that be too much to ask?
See you in another few months. *signs off*

Good points here are now the customers have in theory a way to contact someone and demand action. Customers matter. They enable your lifestyle, pay your bills and are your business. Notifying these folks late and randomly at best is problematic. Support and issues recently and going back a long while during which you and your Buffalo pals had control over BlueVM is continuation of more of the same negligence.
Doing deals and providing real services isn't hard. But you aren't going to do that with a gazillion containers with 2 workers and a band of misfit Indians that work an outlandish number of shops / customers. More like a worker for every fixed number of containers and more containers where more automation and higher knowledge level of the shop.
These failings are all based around the concept of GREED. You know not to prior announce to customers because fleeing will happen and income will dip. You won't free more cash to pay workers and implement right biz processes to deal with things. Invest not in people and eventually the gravy train will derail. Either financials are that broken in this model even with oversell or the place is funding personal lives and other interests.
VPS industry has a hyper ADD nature along with having little memory. You benefit from such, but it won't continue. Day is coming to either run right or go extinct. Remember I said this.

Do I need to remind you that customers discovered the sale through a change of BitPay billing details? Don't try to spin this into yet another bullshit "we've always been transparent" story.
I'm sure, the same excuses as always. Everybody else who isn't ColoCrossing seems to have no issues announcing acquisitions as they happen, so what makes it different for you?
Sorry, but you've used up all your second-chance cards, and I don't believe you. If you had such good reasons for not announcing the acquisition, then share them. Until then, I will consider it just yet another dishonest scumbag move in the history of ChicagoVPS and ColoCrossing, like the many before it.
Trust and respect is earned, not demanded.
We can start talking about the positives, when you start running a honest business.
Yeah, it kind of takes a while to transfer hostress's clients, I get it no problem
We all know what you're doing. You are rounding up everyone to your customer pool and pretty much using vpsboard and let as a monopoly. No need to hide or play innocent, I think it's rather smart and good capitalism. But, there is a fine line between a corrupt business and running a honest monopoly.Also, there is absolutely no reason for you to send invoices to clients that have suspended VPSs. It's unprofessional and just makes your company look bad. You need to open a line of communication between the client and the customer to be on good grounds before sending an invoice over. It makes it look very bad from a customer's perspective when getting billed for a service that is not working. WHCMS or not, don't use their 'automated email shit' as an excuse either.
"We can start talking about the positives, when you start running a honest business."
Cant you see? Their VPS monthly prices have increased so it obviously means they are now being honest... /s

Yet another lie. But it is expected from you and the handful of others that like to bad mouth my brands. It was said in tickets that there was a change, which is hiding nothing.
First off hostress is not part of my network, and prefer to be separated by that company. They were hacked this weekend and lost everything.Yeah, it kind of takes a while to transfer hostress's clients, I get it no problem
Second, I dont post offers here.
I know nothing I say will be taken as it should be. Everyone here wants to hold onto the past like a high school sweetheart that broke your heart.
Get over it, and move on. I have. I learned from my mistakes and antics in the past and have been running a clean and mature business for quite some time now.

I have just one question for @CVPS_Chris If this company is NOT a part of your "network" as you claim it be, then how do you know they were "allegedly hacked"?
I have not seen anyone from Hostress mention this yet only that something happened and data was lost.
