    The web based threats coming from their network can be easily reduced... CSF firewall rules (/etc/csf/csf.deny) to block about 80% of their IPs . The providers' added support costs and increased customer turnover is probably eating up most of the savings from those "crazy deals" they got on...

    Virtovo sold. Selling Colocrossing network now.

    June 23rd email to customers: The confusion arose because the buyer of the domain/brand made it appear in their WHT ad that it was a continuation of the "old" Virtovo business by saying they had been in business since December 2013: Google cache...

    Lowendtalk/Lowendbox 2nd Quarter 2014 - *Unofficial* Top VPS Provider Results

    They recently introduced a $10 1GB plan.  It's still not low end but it's competitive with DO/Vultr and the small difference between $10 and $7 might attract some "low end" customers who have been burned by picking the wrong providers and are looking for something with a proven track record of...

    Dear Provider, I'd be more likely to buy your VPS...

    Ideally they'd be tested from active nodes but I think we all know there are some providers who cheat on the benchmarks they list in their ads (like the openvz providers who list dd scores in their offer that they tested on an empty node and then 2-3 months later after they've overloaded the...

    Dear Provider, I'd be more likely to buy your VPS...

    ...if you listed the Unixbench in the offer description because on those occasions when I need something with a little power, the "2 cores" you have listed in your description doesn't tell me sh!t. "2 cores" could mean I'm getting something with nearly the power of an older i3, or it could mean...

    CaliHop closing down

    Yep, and it looks like ReverseHosts didn't get all of their customers migrated in time so total data loss for some customers.  Hopefully those customers had backups. July 13 update: July 11 update: : Why didn't they order 2 servers to begin with?  If you know your existing servers use x...

    Virtovo sold. Selling Colocrossing network now.

    When she announced the Vancouver closure on June 3rd she extended the expiry dates for everyone in Vancouver until July 19th so people with service in Vancouver got a few weeks of free service.

    Virtovo sold. Selling Colocrossing network now.

    That combined with the fact that the Vancouver servers aren't scheduled to be shut down until next weekend is why the Virtovo offer on WHT raised questions.  "Susan" should have notified customers who still have service in Vancouver that the domain but not the customers had been sold.  It would...

    Virtovo sold. Selling Colocrossing network now.

    Dr Mike and Dr Pony said CC related.  I said #winning related.  :) You're buying from CC direct now and not buying your servers from Mr. #winning anymore? (asking because the test IPs in your LET offer today were showing #winning...and by the way, the Chicago 23.94.x.x one is still...

    Virtovo sold. Selling Colocrossing network now.

    Why did you change the original "customer" in that sentence  to "employer" ? You conveniently sidestepped the issue of the virtovovinay ID (the same one that posted the pulled Virtovo offer today) recommending FTPiT on WHT.

    Virtovo sold. Selling Colocrossing network now.

    So did you acquire the domain so you could get around your WHT ban and post offers there? for reference, 2 of the suspended IDs: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?u=416492 http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?u=445726 Also, do you make it a habit of creating new IDs and shilling...

    I mentioned this on the other thread and I'll mention it here again, there have been rumors floating around that "Susan" who appeared in December was Marc from ShardHost who hasn't been heard from since November.  If Virtovo would like to dispel these rumors... The registered company, Virtovo...

    Virtovo - Closure of Vancouver Services

    Based on the WHOIS info, It also seems they've been sold to an individual (not a company) named VINAY SINGH in India.  It would have been nice if "Susan Curtis" had informed existing customers (like moi... VPS in Vancouver running until July 19) of the change in ownership and the transfer of...
