    Club Uptime was very profitable. Brohoster wasn't. Their having the same Softlayer account and being tied at the hip financially is what took Club Uptime down. This isn't a discussion about that, however. If you want to discuss that, discuss it in the appropriate thread that's actually dedicated to that situation.

    I'm not trying to convince anybody. I'm trying to find somebody to convince me you can run a LEB provider from Softlayer. I've never seen it done before but I haven't been around forever so it could be possible but so far I've found nothing.

    I tryed with names. Then I tryed with direct URLs + pricing. And now I am wondering... is it my english? :( Should I try with screenshots? Would it help you if I post RESIZED screenshot of NQhost or/and fusevps vps offer hosted at softlayer under 7$?

    He's talking about providers that focus on the LEB market, not just providers that also have LE pricing.

    Well, FuseVPS is closing.

    Due to complications with our dedicated server provider, Softlayer, we are unable to continue with FuseVps.

    You may have noticed other OpenVZ providers discontinue their service at Softlayer over the last 12 months. While we cannot say this with certainty, we would not be surprised if they found the same difficulties we have.

    SoftLayer even refused to put a server back online so that users could take back their data.

    What's wrong with that? Softlayer has no obligation to VPS users, people SHOULD have their data backed up. If the owner of the node didn't pay Softlayer, then why should they put the server back on even for an hour?

    Aren't FUSEVPS the ones that suddenly started doing $15/y - $24/y plans in the past < 6 months?

    Softlayer isn't doing nothing but their business...
