You may have already been aware of over the last few days domVPS has not been providing a stable service which we aim to provide. This has been due to network-wide attacks to and from our network, as a result many locations have suspended servers due to the massive bandwidth amounts which they cannot handle.
As a result of this choice by the hosting providers / constant attacks we have decided to close our doors and terminate hosting of all virtual servers on every location.
Please submit a support ticket to request a backup of your VPS to be uploaded in a .tar.gz format for you to download to your new provider.
Thank you for being a customer with domVPS, be it over a year or be it a few weeks, we hope that you did enjoy the quality of hosting before the mass of issues this week.
Anyone who has paid or renewed their VPS within the last 2 weeks will receive a refund. We will also provide a refund for the time that has not been used to customers who have a long-term subscription (6+ months).
We cannot guarantee how long existing servers will be online for, due to attacks and data centre policies so we suggest you request your backup as soon as possible. To limit any more attacks, we will shortly be suspending all virtual servers.
If you have any final questions about the closure, feel free to open a support ticket and we will be happy to provide information.
Once again, sorry for the inconvenience this has caused and we thank you for your understanding.
I also know the reason he is closing better than anyone, and even though the owner is an asshat from my experience I actually feel sorry for him. I mean OVH do this constantly, just cut entire clients out because of issues and refuse access to data.
If this email is legitimate, its likely the profit setback and rep loss of XX amount of servers being taken away will justify closing the entire business down.
@Jack said: Why would they send it from Solus when they have WHMCS?
Maybe they host an e-mail server on their Solus master which may also be one of those joint master/ovz container holder thingey, and send WHMCS e-mails via that server.

I opened a support ticket, waiting for a confirmation of closing.

Hello,
The emails are correct, unfortunately!
