Somebody opened a ticket about a refund and told us about it:
vpscorner.co.uk

Does anyone know what is going on ?

  • I'd add a virtual host for www.vpscorner.co.uk and redirect it elsewhere.

  • i'd say his cloudflare got hacked or something?

  • More likely a summer host did a runner and decided to point his website somewhere else.

    What?

  • Well, adding default host that displays something "This is not a real Web site" would be helpful in such a case.

    For our existing customers we have some coupons with the Dallas offer that give a free month on the monthly plan, effectively giving one test month with no obligations.
    Since we cant have anonymous service, that is only valid for existing customers in good standing.

    Oh, didn't knew.

    One of the things I love about Prometeus in addition to the truly professional services is how you don't forget about existing customers, even if it is in exchange for testing/promoting experimental services.

    Well, we choose to give promos to existing customers that are loyal and trouble free than give to unknown people that will probably abuse it and otherwise treat it like a throwaway booter/spam box.
    The cost of abuse from new customers is high, so we convert that to incentives for old ones thinking that is best to keep an old tested friend rather than lose time searching new ones you know nothing about. This is the view of a family business while a corporation would do anything to enlarge market share.

    I am not sure this is so bad. If we are not swamped with tickets about that, it should be OK. Maybe OVH will redirect their site to us, I wouldnt want to miss that :P
