Just received this from Conn8ct : Company Closure
Hello all!
I just received this in my mail:
_Dear Customers,
Firstly we would like to thank you for signing up with us in the past few months, we have had a great loss in the last month which sadly has to see an end of Conn8ct.
Services will be terminated by the 15th of December. Please take a backup of your service as soon as possible so no loss is affected.
Once again thank you for your time and we wish you the best!_
Well, first of all, I wasn't ever a costumer of them, so, I don't remember have ever give my mail to them... Oops, another unused vps i bought - I didn't even remember it!!! I had a small vps for 1 year. 10 months are gone...
Anyway, another provider is off. Pitty, in their signature on the end of September, they claimed that they would be introducing soon Greece loaction (there isn't even one LEB provider in Greece, in fact, a vps in a greek dc is far too expensive, even compared to the "big ones").

Guess it wasn't worth doing
$7/month for a managed VPS? It shouldn't exist in the first place.
Well, now I tried to login to the control panel from client area to see what was my vps (I really didn't remember it!) and although it says "active", in "Virtual Server Control" section says "Status: Unavailable" (there is even to ip written to try to ssh it...)
5$ for a yearly vps. But I don't remember the specs... I was probably bought it just for testing, playing, or whatever. Damn, sometimes we just buy vps's for nothing! We have to stop it!
And just saw that ordering is still available and in their website writes nothing about closure in December!
64mb - $5/year, 128mb - $7/year.
They challenged BlueVM's $5 offer, with 5GB more disk.
Offer post is removed though...

Patrick already pointed this out on VPSB, but Conn8ct is the person who started the "Low End Talk - Killing the VPS Market?" thread on WHT this summer.

Well, just another kiddie host... And foolish, also...
So I guess instead of a Black Friday's e-mail, customer from Conn8ct got this e-mail? Sounds pretty interesting
No wonder they've had a great loss in the past few months they just brought a Lamborghini Aventador at about £300,000 according to Google.
Thanks good that refounded my vps, some months ago before dat happend.
C'mon, do you actually believe that. Of course he didn't buy it..
If he got 300k from VPSes it was well worth it...
I wish it was possible, then maybe I would start a host like this with a fake identity. Just kidding, or am I...? :P
But just search the number plate of that car, and you'll see even videos of it any you'll find it was in BBC news too for being seized by police.
so maybe it was him after all! haha
