Although I am not a fan of anything to do with CC at all I can certainly see how this situation came about. Neither the tech nor the client seem to have a good grasp of the English language. The client was very impatient and upset that his data was lost, and he had no back up.
Now whether he had a back up or if CVPS had one makes no difference honestly. The fact of the matter is there was not one when the client needed it. All the finger pointing in the world does not change that fact.
In the end we, as clients, know that our data is only as important as we make it to ourselves. We have to take our own back ups and then take back ups of those back ups to insure we have our own data safe. That way we know we have back ups. Even then we must constantly check those back ups to make sure they have been corrupted, and if they have replace them.
Could CVPS be to blame in this instance? I guess we could make them out to be bad guys if we wanted. Sure their staff could be better trained, and does not sound like they are U.S. based. In the end though it is always best if the client takes it upon themselves to protect themselves.

It's possible that they are American and their poor command of the English language is because Mr. Fapozo hijacked the short bus and put the kids on it to work.
WTF is it with all of the reports of "corrupted" VPS's and staff creating "fresh" VPS's in recent months (i.e. customers losing data due to incompetent staff fucking up)?

@DomainBop,
Most of them are because the reinstall feature was not working. It had nothing to do with actual data loss. Again, can we please stop with the "Lets tell half the story" and leave the other half out that explains that there is no real issue?
Im doing my best to turn ChicagoVPS around back to where it should be, and have been since staff departures. Instead of attacking me, try and acknowledge that Im working hard, and the efforts to try and stop people from buying form me is unneeded and a waste of both our valuable time.

Listen sweetheart, I'll keep this simple.
Is reinstall not working since you are using Solus version circa 2013? I get you blame Solus for your hacks and such, BUT, if you are going to use their stuff even under the face mask fronting, you should make sure you are licensed. Why? Cause you are putting your customers or Biloh's or whoever in whole is investor in CVPS at risk. A third hack probably would necessitate legal action for utterly disregarding safety, standards and common sense. Not a threat, just the statistical likelihood on this and my educated guess.
Now as for turning things around. Hiring outsourced $1k per month pinder ticket 3-4-some that already at least in part was there -IS NOT- going to turn things around. This is your company supposedly. Spend some time learning already and being functional. It's not that hard. Next, use your rolodex to contact folks who are competent and offer to pay them at market to bust hind for you. I know you can / should be able to afford real employees.
Oh yeah, and please, if you can't keep up with the workload, issues, tickets, etc. STOP ADVERTISING AND REMARKETING until you can. Selling support and concepts of service that you cannot deliver and haven't been able to for a while sort of is fraud via deception.
'Nuff said.

@CVPS_Chris,
You never will run the company "right" and never have. Ever since you tasted greed the first time the company made money you were gone. Hell your own business degree is a joke since you paid people to do your homework for you.
@drmike,
He will never change.

Unhealthy? Come on now. Unhealthy is lying to customers and stealing from folks.
Is that how this segment is? As long as someone is criminally persistent we just rubberstamp them, pat them on the back and say good job?
Someone needs to call the idiots out. If I don't you'll sit here and act delusional. Ignore reality and it doesn't exist.
Like I've said before, if it gets to you, just bypass the thread. Simple self control of your own unhealthy obsession.
If anything, I need to start drilling more companies for their lousy behavior and skits.
