    Did anyone notice that http://hiformance.com is hosted at GoDaddy now? It resolves to 160.153.72.37 which is a GoDaddy IP. wat

    I'm betting n3servers.com.

    Maybe HostedSimply as well, their prices seem unusually cheap: https://lowendbox.com/blog/hostedsimply-4gb-ram-ssd-cached-vps-w-120gb-hdd-for-25-yr-in-los-angeles-new-york/.

    My favourite is when LEB says "Their WHOIS is public" but the address is some person's apartment, or a PO box.

    There's the new CC host trio that's up to the same thing:

    • umaxhosting with some bad threads and their latest offers are smelling funny.
    • n3servers is similar, 4GB for $21/year on leased gear.
    • solvedbydata is likely in the same basket.

    Umax bothers me the most since they went out of their way to list their LA location as "LA Telecom Building – Los Angeles, California, United States", which is probably true, but ultimately it's just resold CC if you check the IP ownership.

    PayPal refused my refund today. I was 2 months into a 36 month deal. They said: because if an item is materially similar to the seller's description, we do not consider it to be significantly not as described.

    I consider it to be 34 months dissimilar!

    Furious.

    Thing is, the value isn’t worth damaging my own credit score over... I’m just angry the owner is getting away with it.

    For the people who got their refunds, which reason did you go with? I think I did it as product not delivered.

    I used object/service not delivered and used the following text:

    This company suddenly stopped to exist and all services has been cancelled per 22/12/18 . The website HiFormance has been taken offline. In various forums an announcement has been made https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/154418/hiformance-deadpooling-backup-your-data-now

  • I have received the refund I asked for a few days ago. I chose non-delivery and asked for $8 back (4 months into 1 year plan) and they requested info from HiFormance, then decided in my favor.

    After I file charge back with my bank. Paypal sent me this email:

    Since you can’t reach a solution with the buyer, you might want to file a report with your local police department or file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).The IC3 is a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center. It investigates and refers complaints to law enforcement agencies that have jurisdiction in the matter.

    Seems colocrossing will be going direct to customer for VPS sales soon:

    No mentions of price, but i'm assuming it'll fill in for many of the providers you see on here.

    In the end, if they can sell a node full of cheapo VPS customers for a littel more than they would leasing it to someone, they just need to hire some additional staff for support tickets.

  • I suppose you have a slightly higher chance of not being scammed directly by CC as opposed to their summerhost resellers.

    Will it launch with the ipv6 that @jbiloh has been promising "for sure" since 2017?

    Probably in 2026.

    You should ask HiFormance. Or Daniel Spritzer the person that approve lowendbox offers.

  • Lovely to see all this happen. During black friday I picked up a openvz and kvm from virmach. Transfered all my goods and shutdown the 5 or so servers I had with Hiformance as well as one with n3servers. Glad I left when I did.

    Fuck paint thinner. I had a shop teacher in high school who had me get the paint off my hands by rinsing them with paint thinner. Was a bad rest of the day.

    much as I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy ...

    I would similarly choose to deal with paint thinner, rather than a thin painter.

    EDIT2:

    same goes for colocrossing I suppose

    @Francisco Shut up! Open a location in .HK and take my money! :wink:

  • I only bought from hiformance because of the trust I have for LEB. Maybe LEB should be bit more careful from now on about these shady companies. Or may be even have some requirements before being able to post these kind of offers.
