Been a pretty steady downhill slide with them it seems.
I guess VolumeDrive came out on top
They burst.

So, if I am reading this correctly:
1. Burst is discontinuing customers on dedicated servers.
2. Burst is continuing colo.
3. Bust is LIKELY discontinuing VPS.
4. Bursted is doing this because..... the leasing company wants their gear back?
Burst.net is recovering all those IPs.... They are sitting pretty on 283,136 IPv4 IPs. see: http://bgp.he.net/AS21788
So.... Let me guess?
Burst / DigiPlus is trying to recover their "investment" by selling off the IPs?

Got this email for my VPS service too, VPS went offline 2 hours before and hasnt been seen now for 5 hours. I don't expect Ill ever see it again (no big loss).
I remember predicting one month for their demise, they outperformed this and lasted two. No big loss, I suspect their only remaining services where those moving slowly or with account credit due to their crappy billing system (and inability of support to refund for their mistakes).

From the looks of it sharktech bought their LA customers?
Sharktech?
EDIT - I should probably explain this post a bit. This isn't a slag at sharktech but more I'm very confused as to why they would be interested in non ddos protection customers. Did they decide to push into the budget non-filtered market? I know I saw a post about them offering in LA now, but it was filtering and not budget priced.

I don't think Shartech is taking over them given I havent received anything about my server, Ill ask Tim for confirmation.
I got this email from BurstNet today, it looks about right - lets play spot the spelling mistake

Given that the L.A VPS I had that was acting as a monitoring proxy went offline over a day ago and hasnt been seen since, I am not holding my breath (or really care). I just kept that VPS alive to cost Burst money (had account credit).

Hostwinds ehh? Not familiar with them.... Whoever writes their blog though, wowzers, they pour on the mass fear/terror. Every post is about a hack, mass fail, extortion, etc. Ugly.
The Burst migration to Hostwinds is messed up. Reads like auto info on customer transfer. Who knows who has customer information at this point. Burst original, Burst money squad, NC datacenter, maybe outsourced support (but they seemed to not provide shit for support) and now Hostwinds.com....
For a bunch of vulture capitalists and an owner with an erection for education uniformity, sure are acting like a bunch of dumb chimpanzees.
Anyone paying Burst at this point, should receive a 30 day ban from the internet.

Have a source for this? Interesting.
Nope, so.
It looks like sharktech did them a favor to get everyone online but aren't the buyers.
Hostwinds is offering to pick up all the users but they have to signup for new packages as far as I can tell.

See I thought LA was cost justified with a good paying customer - reason Burst expanded their initially.
Looks like maybe they were chasing the Asian money like so many and that's all it was, considering how easily they are dropping the "asset".
Weird that Shark would be involved and not the buyer... Maybe FDC is the buyer?

Sharktech isn't picking up Burst LA, they're just announcing their IPs until they shut down. Burst LA is going down, pull out while you guys can.

Oh I think I get the situation now.
Hostwinds is a big source of SPAM and misbehaving customers/users.... Quite the peer/partner/etc. for Burst.net.
Right now, Hostwinds is beating out ColoCrossing for the top Scarlet Letter position on SenderBase:
http://www.senderbase.org/static/spam/#tab=3
---> Spam Senders by Network Owner for the Last Day
Hostwinds LLC 8.0 -24.3% ↓ 130
ColoCrossing 7.9 -18.5% ↓ 349
Do I see a future corporate hitching in the works?

Hostwinds has always had massive scale Craigslist spam.

Unfortunately this was expected to happen if we have in mind what all bad decisions they had in past year and how that impacted their clients / services / sales / revenue...
