Deary me, IANAL but if that's true that sounds an awful lot like trading while insolvent.

TheRegister, one of the largest UK tech news sites, has an article on the ShardGaming shutdown:

Somehow due to rdns giglinx got into this.
I was actually surprised to hear that it was DaddyCheese, thats a brand I've seen more than enough times. Quite large in the gaming community.

That's what I'm surprised about, too. I have no idea how well the ShardHost brand was doing, but DaddyCheese was one of the most popular back when I ran MCLayer and frequented the MC circles. They were well known and generally respected, so I can only imagine they had a ton of clients.

My statement was conjecture on my part, but it seems odd that they would suddenly just BOOM go out of business with no foresight at all. In fact, I think you'd have to be pretty stupid to believe it.
This is akin to telling your wife that the power company is outside about to cut off the power due to non-payment and that she had better move quickly to save the contents of the fridge while you sit silently and refuse to acknowledge that you had hidden all of the bills and disconnect notices from her. She is rightfully going to be livid because you lied by omission and should have given her more of a heads up about the situation.
Shardhost's proprietors owe its customers an apology and an explanation and not some BS form letter that went out 40 minutes before they cut hosting and they know they screwed up. That is why they pulled their social media stuff beforehand... as if they had a brand or reputation worth saving the face of at that point. At this point, as a customer who purchased 6 months of service month-to-month before purchasing a years worth, I think they are crooks and arseholes.
Haha no but thanks for pointing it out dude. I just decided to copy paste the facebook post done by another member of our staff here and didn't notice the referral.

I actually bought the $10/yr plan from vpsboard.. but it's $10 and I got 5 months worth of service out of it so, I don't really care. I swore after the whole RackVM incident that I would never buy another yearly deal but how soon we forget lol..
The only thing was I kinda like my IP, but it was on a blacklist anyways..oh well.

yeah, that was the second IP that they swicthed for me.. both were on a blacklist. I think they metioned that most of ther IP were on a blacklist, maybe it's cheaper?
Did not care thought.. was not planning on emailing anyone anyways..
Wow.. DaddyCheese was a pretty big name in the Minecraft Hosting world... glad I didn't use them, a friend of mine did though.
One post wonder... spam and run to the next site!
