PremiumVM Up for Sale.

Hi,

Just wanted to comment in here - we will be sending out an email once the sale is finalized/confirmed. We apologize that it had to end like this, but there are things going on at the moment that take priority over this. Therefore, I have decided to sell.

All clients will be taken care of, even if it does mean a change of location. All dedicated server clients will be contacted personally. A mass mail will be sent out to all clients, hopefully within the next 24 hours (max 48).

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly (email [email protected]). I will do my best to address all concerns.

Kind regards,

Dominic

Not to be a douche, but "taken care of" does not mean "change of location"

/2c.

Hey Dominic,

I understand there are more "important things" that can happen, but is that to say that your promise to your customers is not important?  I think you need to grow-up and realize that you made a gentleman's promise that you would not do this again, so by doing this a second time, you devoid your word of value in this market.  After making promises to the community, both here and on LET, you decided that you do not care enough to keep your promise (again) and here you are selling your business.  Regardless of these "important things" this shows a lot of immaturity on your part pulling this same thing a second time on your customers to make financial gain for your self.  The people losing in this situation are your customers as you will still walk away with a nice payday from whoever buys your customers up. 

Truth is, I am not even your customer and your actions upset me.  Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice....

A real man would stand up and take responsibility for those "important things" and their business promises. 

My 2 cents.

Cheers!

Third time if I'm not mistaken

He has 3 VPS nodes so you work at $7k/year per node that's $21k for the 3 VPS nodes per year.

Wow, how the heck does someone make so much of single nodes? Apparently, I need to reach out to them for business advice.  :huh:

Yeah, no. I doubt you want to do that.

He was collecting customers because noone would be interested in three servers or his company name. It is all about collecting customers and selling them again.

Dear Clients,
As per the email you received, we are merging with HostNIT. Your accounts/services have been imported into their billing system. You may use the same log-in details to log into HostNIT as you did for PremiumVM. Dedicated server customers will be contacted shortly, and VPS's will be moved over to their New Jersey location within 24 hours. You will be emailed your new IP addresses when your VPS's have been moved over. If you have any questions, please contact HostNIT via support ticket (in their billing system)

Appears they've now gone. Will Dominic still be sticking with the clients in this "Merge" or was it really sold?

VPS's will be moved over to their New Jersey location within 24 hours. 

So All UK + Atlanta + Phoenix VMs are getting moved to Choopa?

That's definitely going to cause some unhappy clients.

Nice to see it's going to Choopa though

Choopa NJ will be the new Buffalo at this rate.

That should be an interesting one to see

I don't think Choopa would be providing anyone as cheap of deals than what CC were doing to fill Buffalo, or will they? I wonder who else is going to jump ship and find a alternative.

Sorry for the lack of updates.

I, as always, will be sticking with clients throughout the merge until it is completed.

Clients are receiving constant updates via emails. Merge nearly done.

See I'm not a client of PremiumVM, but I'm going to address (and complain) about this right now.

I hate how a customer's information is immediately transferred to a third party without any notification to the client beforehand.  I mean when you sign up with a company you'd assume that person would be working with you, but no instead they sell your information to another company. 

I was once with a company (and cancelled services with them later) and they were bought out by HostNIT (literally a year later after I cancelled).  I got an e-mail from them about moving my information to their billing system.  Like seriously?  It infuriates me that the specific company that sold out also gave them my information (no longer a client of theirs) and that HostNIT contacted me through the information I provide to someone else.

Now this may be all "legal" or not, but it still infuriates me.

No way.

Power is simply too expensive. It's about $35/AMP in choopa which chomps into margins quite a bit. From my long chats with them, nearly half of a contracts cost is tied up in power alone.

Jon charges ~cost for power in Buffalo and it's like $250 - $300 per 20A. Choopa is like..$750/20A.

That's not to say he couldn't do it, it's just I don't see him putting $75/month servers over there since he also has to pay transit

Is there something about New Jersey that makes the power 300% more expensive?

I know New Jersey completely blows for businesses in terms of taxes, etc. but triple the cost of a neighboring state!?

I don't know. It's quite possible that the power companies charge that much because they know it's so close to NY. I know when we were looking on the east coast, we had EGI give us a quote. Scott said that the rack alone would be $2000/month or something insane like that, not counting transit.

In general electricity in New York is more expensive than in New Jersey. Buffalo's an exception owing to the cheap and abundant hydroelectric power generated from Niagara Falls.
