    ChicagoVPS reaching new levels of desperation

    I doubt you're seeing much in the way of cash deals for all the buyouts that are, and will, be happening. When Rus used to "buy" brands, he never actually paid anything. Users were paid out of the net profits for a certain period of months. This made sure that Rus never actually stood a...

    ChicagoVPS reaching new levels of desperation

    I don't think CVPS' move is to secure IP space. I think they're either planning a large scale upgrade (a positive for their customers) or are trying to buy themselves some time to build a new business plan. The resource race isn't working anymore and while they were the first, it's obvious that...

    You're so funny. CC will get V6 around summer time, when ARIN runs out of IP space. Francisco

    Not quite. Jon tried to get us to use his IP space but we refused. We used our own space. He also was shocked that we bursted as high as high as we did on our BW usage in Buffalo in the early months. There's a good chance he ate quite a bit of overages because he was on pure L3 at the time...

    You also had to sell your soul to get that done. If you want to impress us roll the same offer in a non CC location to prove you aren't getting bank rolled by them. There's lots of cheap market offers out there! Francisco

    NTP - the new DDOS amplifier

    We've been seeing a lot of this. I had to make adjustments in both of our DC's to address this the other week. Francisco

    GetKVM_Ash back with yet another VPS brand

    I don't think so. He spent a lot of time researching before he ever got back into the US market. He considered CC but never bit and was with someone in NJ. Literally, it took him months before he had a pick in the US he wanted to go with. Francisco

    So hold on. Are you with CC or with HVH? And why would you be selling to VPS providers? Who wants to be a customer of a reseller of a reseller? Francisco

    Ernie left this place when someone asked him why his credit card charges were in CC's name. Francisco

    GreenValueHost outsources customer support to India.

    It's a complete lie. That's why CC hasn't officially posted a sales thread on WHT since 2012. Where as HVH got out of its grave and within a week of doing so, started reselling cabinets out of Buffalo :) Makes perfect sense. Francisco

    It really can't though. Legally they aren't allowed to broker another companies transactions like that unless they're designated as a bank and have direct MC/VISA agreements. The only thing it means is that CC owns (or at least did own) them. You need to realize, this isn't something small...

    Son, you got played. Personally I think a lot of what you're pasting is just to see how much of a leaky boat you are. Why would Jon Biloh be telling Earnie that he has to pay for overages? Short of abuse or things breaking the TOS, at no time should Jon be instructing Earnie how to handle...

    I'm going to just put my opinion here. The only reason you or Earnie are getting "100TB" for $5/month is that you're nothing more than sales reps to CC. Jon doesn't post his own sales on WHT anymore because he has Ernie handling all that and you running up the side lines with shared hosting...

    Your biggest pain as a provider

    I'm sure some of it is that people expect to pull a good wage from the get go. There's simply too few companies that put enough money to cover the company for a year away. Or, worse, their companies bank roll is covered heavily by a 2nd/3rd job they have. There has been tons of cases on WHT of...
