RaidLogic.net out of business?

[drmike]

RaidLogic.net is a provider we see here on vpsBoard.

Recall they were smacked hard by the Burst.net hit and run situation.

Looks like per WHT there has been an outage of much of RaidLogic for at least the past 2 days...

Anyone have any info on the situation?

Never gave them a chance. If you search on twitter you find a lot of WTFs: https://twitter.com/search?q=%40RaidLogic&src=typd

This one caught me off guard.

They aren't charging a 'cheap' price so it shouldn' be funding that is putting them under.

I do know they had a lot of their platform with burstnet so maybe with the whole fustercluck

in Scranton it hit home more than was let on?

I dodged a bullet there. We were using them for an external monitor but the amount of false alarms caused us to switch elsewhere.

This email is to confirm that we have received your cancellation request for the service listed below.

Product/Service: VPS VZ-128MB
 

The service will be cancelled at the end of your current billing period on 29/05/2014.

Thank you for using RaidLogic.NET and we hope to see you again in the future.

I'm sure their other clients are hoping the same thing.

I've been hearing about this for several days.

They weren't charging a cheap price but they relied heavily on crappy quality providers like Burst/whoever in Kansas City, so it may have been customer dissatisfaction/lack of interest that put them under.

tl;dr  premium prices, budget quality product, low customer retention = eventual deadpool

 

[ftpitnipon]

Their site seems down and lots of negative messages on twitter

Probably.

I dunno, I thought they rented dedicated servers too?

[drmike]

Seems to still be down.

Is that blood from the deadpool?

 

[Sonic]

Seems out of biz

 

[drmike]

Still down....

As always, I feel bad for those customers without backups of their data.

So, I got to looking. RaidLogic had a LEB offer March 12, 2014.  Too many providers bank on those offers for making the monthly bills and coasting for a bit.  I'll continue looking at the offers there as indication of stability/deadpool lurking.

The offers made, weren't the cheapest, but much less than most offers in the industry at large:

$9.95/year for a 64MB plan

$14.95/year for a 128MB plan

$24.95/year for a 256MB plan

(all OpenVZ of course)

What else to note....

Locations....

Looked at LEB offer = LA + DAL + MIA + Scranton + KANSAS CITY

LA + MIA + Scranton = BURST.net = GONE.

Would have left Dallas (Enzu) and Kansas City (Datashack) --- for the low end VPS offers.... They supposedly had other locations for non-lowE*.

What else...

CPU model : Intel® Xeon® CPU L5420 @ 2.50GHz  .... ah yeah, 2014 in a shared environment mass selling OVZ...

and...

I/O speed : 12.5 MB/s

IO speeds like that are what started the benchmark porn / horror.

Very true, trying to do a recovery was not possible with a notice of less then 24 hours, the whole thing should have been handled differently and i apology for this.

We are doing a small scale re-launch in the coming weeks.

LMAO

 

[RLT]

Love the signature. Especially since the link 404s. Might I recommend a total rebrand? Since the net never forgets. Remember any Google search will dig up the entire mess.

You should fix your order links, they are still showing 404 Not found.

 

[RaidLogic.NET]

They are not yet active, doing a complete website design

But I saw your ads on WHT already 

 

[northhosts]

Why would you dig up a negative thread about your own business that is nearly a year old???? crazy..

 

[drmike]

I am of the school of thought where you leave the deceased buried.

This rebirth I don't think is going to go so well.  Carries baggage from back there and probably mad prior customers who will show up here and there.

Yeah, do a new company for your own sake if intending on being serious.

Now under new management
