I'm really not the person you should be asking.

Yes, Daniel does volunteer in his free time, as far as I know.

BlueVM Projects is old, Justin created it years ago to be the name for all his projects, I'm not sure why anything is under it, though.

Nope. Cameron sold domVPS to a solutions company, he is also helping out with tickets. No merges as far as I know. I've known Cameron for a few years.

Oh and just because the WHOIS for all the domains changed to BlueVM Projects I doubt that's a valid reason to assume it was sold on? Maybe Justin just changed his contact profile or did a mass whois update?

ICANN requires the registrant of a domain name to be a legal entity (i.e. a person or a registered business).  "BlueVM Projects" is not a legal entity in any state or country.

 Thanks @Ishaq....

Cameron thing is strange... was that a recent sale?

His site... Has image date January 2014... Copyright is 2014 also...

Page says:

see: http://cameron.bz/projects/domVPS/

"My role inside domVPS is the Director. Along with being the director I also manage the network of nodes and provide support, with a small number of other staff on live support and the ticket system. We are always flexible and try to help in every way possible."

See the domvps.net and domvps.com domains BOTH have private WHOIS info...

.com = June 30, 2014 update

.net = June 2, 2014 update

A May 2, 2014 Google cache version of a WHOIS info page shows:

No idea, new company didn't update it. He hasn't updated his site either.

I'm curious how much [#name redacted] is paying Maarten Kossen to shill and mislead consumers on LEB.  A couple of examples: 1. all of the recent LEB CVPS offers have said "Customers have been quite positive about ChicagoVPS recently" and have contained a link to a thread from March.  Today's BlueVM LEB offer completely ignores the many, many complaints this year and  says "reviews have been mainly positive." with a link to a review from October 2013 (yeah, 2013). 123systems LEB offers completely ignore the little fact that reviews in recent months have been almost 100% negative.

Hopefully Maarten is wearing kneepads since he spends so much time down on his knees [censored] [#name redacted] [censored] :)

disclaimer: this post is related to the thread title :p

edited to add: the Chicago and Los Angeles test IPs in today's BlueVM LEB offer are blacklisted by Spamhaus.  Almost every CC based offer in the past few months on LEB has had at least one blacklisted test IP.

I'm not too sure why I am being brought into this entire discussion? I think I need to clear things up.

Yes, I no longer own domVPS and this has been known for a while now, maybe you are slightly slow finding things out? However, this is irrelevant to BlueVM.

My website still shows domVPS listed as I haven't bothered to update it, I'm surprised you actually visited it as it's not used and does not get updated (Maybe it's time for me to update it :p ).

To clear everything up about me and BlueVM, I am only helping out answer tickets, I am not being paid and domVPS has not merged into BlueVM. I am simply helping out an old friend (Ishaq, who I have known for many years and has also helped me out in the past answer tickets at domVPS) answer tickets.

Some domVPS domains may still be in my name as I am still actively involved and some domains / licences may still need moving over.

I hope this has cleared a few things up, if you have any questions feel free to ask,

You were brought in my good Sir, because you are the current generation of folk at BlueVM and you pretty recently owned and operated a provider... and you still have your information on key pieces of such.

I admit, I am slow.  Hard to keep track of who is where in the game musical chairs.  Did you issue a press release about the sale of DomVPS that I missed?

"I am only helping out answer tickets, I am not being paid and domVPS has not merged into BlueVM. I am simply helping out an old friend"

Color me perplexed.  You aren't a newb.  So 'volunteering' for free Veepeesss and relative experience isn't suiting your arrangement.   Do you freely volunteer/work digging ditches, cleaning toilets, etc?  I ask because this practice of being a volunteer just doesn't fit, and never big picture has over at BlueVM.

What's even more odd to me is that Ishaq would appear by that admission to also be in ticketing and having access to accounts and other customer details...  Both of you....  But with Ishaq, he is labeled as the IRC volunteer or was actually.... and he's gainfully employed by Arvixe. Usually the real hosts have contracts that prohibit moonlighting with competition or other arrangements contributing to competitors.

It's not Ishaq's business, it's Johnstons or Fabozzi's....  So which friend are you freely helping?

With all the helpers, I'd think BlueVM customers would be well taken care of and pretty prompt.  Instead we see daily customer smackdowns.  That's what continues to get BlueVM the love and why this is here.

I wouldn't.  I'd expect things to be exactly the way they are: mediocre with lots of service problems and complaints.  Relying on volunteers, low paid contract workers, teenagers, the inexperienced, and castoffs that other companies don't want, might save costs in the short term but in the long run it is going to severely damage the company's ability to grow, and the business will have much lower customer satisfaction and customer retention rates.  If you want to build a sustainable long term business you need to invest in hiring qualified employees and if you want to attract qualified employees you need to pay them competitive salaries.
