BuyVM - Leaving Buffalo Early

[Aldryic C'boas]

Suddenly everyone wants to be BFF's with BuyVM.

lol.

Where did you pull Suddenly from?  The folks that offered to lend a hand have been friends - hence the offers for assistance.  We would do the same if the situation were reversed - that's just something friends do.  Perhaps try to be a bit more amicable, and you could learn this firsthand.

I for one am proud to say I'm not friends with anyone from BuyVM.  I merely used them and their hot bodies for my own personal gains: Access to all the VIP clubs, free access to the buffet, and of course the party drug (alcohol duh).  

I'm quite the suave friend.  

 

[bauhaus]

Suddenly? It's been long known fact that BuyVM is a good provider. What are you on about?

^ This.

 

[SkylarM]

Glad to see you guys get to move on from CC. I look forward to seeing you guys continue to kick ass with a provider that isn't partaking in shady business practices. While the circumstances are ridiculous for your eviction, getting to move on from CC is the best thing for you guys. I wish you all the best in the migration

@FrantechCA you should have just gone with us in Los Angeles

So since you didn't we DDoS'd and nulled you during your Vegas move.

Love,

Ah! Suave! The wine for people that do not like wine!

Ah! Suave! The wine for people that do not like wine!

It's also a shampoo brand

You wash your hair? :O

 

[HalfEatenPie]

You wash your hair?

How do you think I got it so curly?!  They say Suave is as good as those professional hair stylist brands!

So, does this mean the buffalo machines will get some love sooner than later?  SSDs perhaps?

I guess now we say, Welcome to the 21st century level: public datacenters.

The drama these people revolve around amazes me.  My employer (Fortune 500) does business with competitors every day - people who'd love to see us go out of business but for various commercial reasons use our services and vice-versa.  We deal with people we can't stand personally.  We deal with people who jumped shipped from our company and went to work with competitors.  Etcetera.  This pettiness is not how real businesspeople operate...it's how 19-year-old "Vice Presidents" act.

Eh...enough of that.

Congrats to BuyVM on moving to Choopa!  

BuyVM is one of the class acts of the VPS industry (lowend or not).  I wish them continued success.

 

[switsys]

I'm a customer of yours (BuyVM) and I'm really looking forward to this 'move'.
Not that I have anything to complain about regarding your present upstream provider, but too me it seems as they are pure a**holes. And no IPv6...

Yup - second that.

If I would handle my customers in the same way my boss would buy me a oneway ticket to the moon.

Business is business and private stays private. Just don't take yourself too seriously.

Not yet.

Buffalo doesn't get the level of IO slamming that the nodes in LV get. They will get SSD's but it isn't as important as getting LV getting them

We'll do SSD's on the east coast sometime next year.

Always good to do it in chunks instead of all at once. Saves you from a bit of drama haha.

Will you offer the same packages for the same prices in Choopa?

Yes

For those wondering, our deal with choopa was hashed out while we were on vacation. We got terms we were happy with and they were settled on Monday once Karen had time.

We don't have a concrete date set yet but we're "probably" going to be in Buffalo on the 8th or so. Once we have a confirmed time (should be confirmed today/tomorrow) we'll have a mass email go out to everyone.

Every time I see "Choopa," I can't help but think of the chupacabra... Choopacabra, server sucker.

I think "Koopa Choopa". Mario? Anyone?

Seriously, though, like everyone I'm glad to see this happening. Can only be for the best. Wish I could be there, only two hours out, but that's two hours that won't happen.
