HostLegend was bought by CC for $1000. CC then gives the owner several thousands of dollars in credit so they will use CC if/when they start another company.
Doh! Good catch @Kadar.SupremeBytes, LLC doesn't use CC either, they are straight Quadranet
Aye' cap'nDoh! Good catch @Kadar.
SupremeBytes has IPs over at CC... They are used by ipxCore... There's the tie/mix up.
Apologies to Damien
What is it with CC related companies and leaking customers personal info all over the Internet? From the Reddit HostLegend thread:Add: Hostlegend.com.... Voice servers and game hosting and VPS with SSD... Their site hosted out of Softlayer.
We've been having some issues with this host on the Minecraft Forum recently; they've been behaving poorly (leaking customers personal information) and this just confirms everything we feared is true, they're a dismally ran company that has no ability to operate as a company should, so with this in mind we have terminated their minecraftforum.net forum topic so that our users are no longer exposed to them. Hopefully that will go some of the way towards reducing their opportunities to cause inconvenience to other people
The replies suggest otherwise that hosts using CC is a bad choice and therefore don't pick the hosts listed.The OP asked about a list of hosts offering out of CC. It could be used for good or not good.
I can't see any harm coming from it other than say awareness of which companies to avoid - for some.
Ok so what about a list of hosts utilising Ecatel, Ubiquity who are doing much more crap and harm aswell?I am on the see-saw about what is best to do. Consumer awareness should be HIGH. People should know what they are buying, where it really is, who the folks holding their data/services are.
What's that then? I don't hear much about service of ColoCrossing being awful but more that someone didn't want to pay rest of there contract of to move early which suggests business with CC was fine with reliable service and so was clients data in good hands until contract was terminated.Obviously, enough hosting companies have learned the hard way that the bargains at CC, especially in Buffalo aren't exactly what they seem to be.
Nope, I've encountered several social chats even with no services just fine with no mention of me wanting to buy something.One major point I take with Buffalo is Biloh's heavy handed lies in the non-stop sales process. If you were ever a customer of CC's you know how JB randomly makes contact, minimum small chat then right to trying to sell you more servers.
Ever noticed how heavy he pushes Buffalo? Ever made the 'mistake' of saying no interest in Buffalo? Well I know some who have and here's my core issue.
