BurstNet acquired by DigiPlus

Grand opening this weekend with the single year grape harvest remixed with brought in juice vineyard.... You'd be better with my home brewed hooch...  Plus I won't screw up your server.

Whole time, staff busy at the vineyard readying for this weekend grand opening... Tweeting away, blissfully unaware that the other Ray interests are crapping on folks businesses....

So if BurstNet was an ARIN member and BurstNet supposedly no longer exist, what happens with their IP address space? What are ARIN's policies about this?

What are ARIN's policies about this?

tl;dr ARIN doesn't give a f**k if the info in their WHOIS database is invalid and you have a better chance of winning the lottery than you do getting them to act on a complaint about invalid contact/ownership data.

 

[rds100]

@DomainBop yes, but someone has to pay ARIN's fees, and if this someone was BurstNet and BurstNet no longer exists, then what?

 

[DomainBop]

@rds100 https://www.arin.net/resources/request/transfers_8_2.html

Transfers Based on Mergers, Acquisitions, and Reorganizations

• ARIN will consider requests for the transfer of number resources in the case of mergers and acquisitions upon receipt of evidence that the new entity has acquired assets that used the transferred resources from the current registrant. Acceptable types of documentation include:
  An authenticated copy of the instrument(s) affecting the transfer of assets, such as:
  Asset purchase agreement and bill of sale
• Finalized merger or amalgamation agreement filed with a province/state/federal  government
• Finalized court order

[*]SEC or other public filings that document the transfer of assets
[*]Authenticated documentation showing name change, such as

• amended articles of incorporation
• state/province/federal government verification of name change

[*]If multiple transactions connect the old and new organizations, documentation will be required for each transaction. You are welcome to redact any financial or otherwise sensitive information. If necessary, ARIN has a standard nondisclosure agreement available.
[*]In the event that number resources of the combined organizations are no longer justified under ARIN policy, ARIN will work with the resource holder(s) to return, aggregate, transfer, or reclaim resources as needed to restore compliance via the processes outlined in current ARIN policy.

This is classic like Lowend summerhost style stuff.  Watch this funny...

I recalled Burst saying about some new client care software and partnership.   They actually did press and all for it..

The company doing the support software, Webteach.com.   A company based at same address in North Carolina as Burst / Digiport / Digiwhatever... same address as the farm / restaurant / vineyard...

BurstNET Selects WebTeach Enterprise for Real-time Client Support Services

6 \u2013 March 2014 \u2013 Dunmore, Pennsylvania and Pilot Mountain, North Carolina \u2013 BurstNET\u2122 (www.burst.net), a leading provider in affordable, advanced infrastructure and managed services for enterprises of all sizes, has chosen WebTeach\u2122 Enterprise to provide strategic and inventive support solutions for their clients and partners.

\u201cWe were searching for a scalable solution that offered our client satisfaction specialists the best interactive tools available to quickly diagnose and solve client concerns,\u201d says Art Faccone, Vice President of Client Care of BurstNET. \u201cPartnering with WebTeach.com will ensure delivery of the best client support available anywhere on the planet.\u201d

Features of the new support system include desktop screenshare, video and audio chat, interactive whiteboard and website sharing. Support sessions can be recorded, stored and repurposed as needed.

\u201cBurstNET came to us desiring a solution that does more than help customers via chat or email,\u201d says Sebastian Replanski, Director of Product Development for WebTeach.com. \u201cTheir professional support staff can now select from the best collaborative tools for fast, effective client support sessions.\u201d

Burstnet came to us?   Get this right you fraudulent morons, JW Ray ran Burst since January, as per other press statements.  So in March when this was done, JW Ray was running Burst.net and was running WebTeach.   He's an investor / the investor in the company and it's under the same address/roof.

What a bunch of fucking posers.

.. all the way back in October, Burst was power shilling JW Ray's other company Webteach....

BurstNET Technologies, Inc.
October 21, 2013
BurstNET would like to promote Webteach.

CHECK IT OUT!!!

[MannDude]

Ah, that'd probably explain the referrals from WebTeach that were in today's traffic log. They must be sharing some vpsBoard links behind the scenes...

 

[kunnu]

Oh! no..

Now BurstNet will also attract their frustrated customers who moved to small hosting companys. ;/

With the amount of information that @drmike keeps digging up I'd be more surprised if they don't keep an eye on this forum. What I'm curious about is at what point will they feel the need to step in and announce their presence, and what will they say then?

 

[Cloudrck]

Why does this feel like an April Fools prank gone horribly wrong?

My question is who thought this was a good idea to post on April Fools?

What happened to BurstNET, they have been around for so long. They were decent back 5-6 years ago when I was with them.

"You guys are really hurting our feelings!!!!! LEAVE JOLO ALONE!!!"

Do you think @drmike really cares what people think and that he may piss someone off?

If he did he would've stopped 8 CC related threads ago.

That's the thing about him. No one is safe and if you do sleaze ball crap constantly

then he'll make sure it's on record. From what I can tell he gives some slack at

the start, but if he see's you're not going to address things and that's just

how you conduct business? Yep, be ready.

Oh, I know-- that was actually meant to be a compliment I'm always in awe of his sleuthing skills and the dirt he manages to dig up on different people. But after seeing what Burst's rep in the WHT thread was saying as an explanation of sorts I can't help but wonder how they would spin these new revelations too.

 

[mcwnasa]

Sadly, it isn't a joke.  My company's servers were with VolumeDrive, then with Burst.net.  Now?  Who knows.  We're unable to contact anyone at Burst.net or DigiPLUS to find out where our servers are or what the status is..  

 

[drmike]

Welcome to vpsBoard @mcwnasa!

What type of service did you have with Burst.net and how long have you been offline?

 

[AuroraZero]

If he has anything with them like I had about eight years ago or so and they tanked it all I feel for him. Kept telling me XO had dropped off the planet. Bullshit and a bag of chips.

I could say that I would not wish this on my worst enemy on that would be the truth, but they are starting to finally reap what they have sown for so many years. I know many people like them and I am NOT one of those people. They have been doing shady things for far too long and it is about time some of it come back to bite them. This just proves that no matter how long you are in this business that if you do shady things they eventually will come back on you. It may take some time but they will come back to haunt you and take you for a ride.
