A few months ago 123Systems was acquired by ChicagoVPS as per the announcement in this thread here ( ), though it appears that the company has changed ownership once more in a short amount of time as per today's most recent update seen in the original thread here ( /page-4#entry78575 ) and from @CVPS_Chris 's comments on LET:

The domain name still shows Fabozzi as the owner of the domain and the new owners have not yet been identified yet publicly.

In the meanwhile, my unique server there from long ago got... destroyed and recreated ¬_¬

Fortunately I didn't had anything there.

Honestly, I had better times when Andrew was there. And for this supposed "sale" (or just changing owner name maybe?), I don't think it will get any better.

I have $5 on BlueVM being the new owner....

Same support team, same slabbing, same puppet string pullers.

Which BlueVM? The non-legal entity Blue VM Projects currently listed on the WHOIS or the legal entity BlueVM Communications LLC formerly listed on the WHOIS whose corporate status is currently delinquent because it stopped filing the required reports with the state in 2013 ?

Several years ago 123Systems was good and I use the $10/year VPS for my NS, and several others for phpoxy.

Last year (November 2013) I bought a $35/year VPS and they gave me one with a blacklisted IP from CC and I opened a ticket several times to have it cleaned or provide me with a new IP.

The last ticket was answered by Andrew, stating that they are contacting SRBL, but a month later it was still blacklisted.

Fine, I'm not going to use it as a mail server! So, I tried to yum update the server and it took more than an hour to finish! Wow. What a server :(

Several months ago I canceled the VPS, surprisingly I got an invoice a couple of minutes ago.

So I checked the solus panel to find that my VPS is already deleted, then I checked the IP, and it is still listed at: bl.spamcannibal.org, dev.null.dk, 2.apews.org, and spamsources.fabel.dk. 

As I remember when 123Systems performs well, there is some setting involvement by @Francisco . I'm not sure though.

The non-legal entity of course ;)  That being the BlueVM unincorporated as an investment of CC/CVPS.

Just more Matroshka nesting dolls in Buffalo.

As for the incorporation documents @DomainBop... Thanks for the push on that...

So I looked.

May 27, 2012, incorporation shows two partners in BlueVM.  Johnston and Arsene Tourmani.   Cash investments of $1k from Johnston and $4056 from Tourmani.

Each had 40% equity.  80% combined.  Other 20%, no clue....

Their last required filing they actually submitted was 08/01/2013.

After that they failed to report:

4/23/2014

7/31/2014

and...

9/30/2014

So at this point, I'd consider like the State of Colorado has that:

Entity has become delinquent for failure to file Periodic Report


More interesting is that Feathur LLC IS IN GOOD STANDING at current and none of the incorporation issues.

My bet goes that this is just a marketing stunt... and that the owners are still Chris and his crew and they just want to disassociate the brand from the rest of his brands so that he can get new customers... and this last week i'm quite correct with my bets as i won the lottery on Thursday.

That would be a feasible theory if 'the rest of his brands' weren't also of similar quality and had the same similar public image. Unless he plans on announcing those are sold too.

They restocked all locations which looks most CVPS similar.

That nodes got fresh numbered (LA1, NJ1, NY1, ...) ;)

Bahahaha 

Come on now.  Still waiting on him admitting to his other shenanigans like with BlueVM ownership.

If Fab spent half his time providing customer support and learning things himself, CVPS and related owned companies wouldn't be in the shape they are.
