    Nothing new unfortunately.

    Anyone has links to their 'Unlimited Reseller Account' promo from the spam mails? I'll just go buy one and make 1M accounts ;)

    Regardless of their previous actions, you should still use common sense before pulling a stunt like that off.

    tl;dr don’t be like them

    Not sure if anyone's seen this yet, but I found a site that lets you to do a historical WHOIS lookup, its: https://whois-history-api.whoisxmlapi.com/

    I was able to lookup WootHosting and NFPHosting using the free credits they give you for signup, however I wasn't able to lookup AlphaRacks, since I ran out after 2 searches.

    Anyways, heres the data (this is all from 2018, when they were operating):

    WootHosting:

    NFPHosting:

    Kinda surprised they didn't have the privacy service enabled around the time they were operating (although it could very well just be a fake name and address). Anyways, the names are all different, but hopefully this info will help someone. If its already known, sorry.

    I had a VPS with AR I used for a second copy of my sites. If my main system goes down I just change the IP in Cloudflare and I'm up and running again. I had a few weeks to go before the AlphaRacks VPS was due for renewal for another year at $7/yr. So I didn't really lose anything. I feel sorry for the other people involved.

    A couple of weeks ago I took out a cheap account with PSKHosting and loaded my sites. It worked well for a while and was quite fast. Then a few days ago it went down for a couple of hours, then the day before yesterday, down again and has stayed down since.

    They originally said it would take 4-6 hours to restore the system. That was 2 days ago. And its still down.

    It's starting to look like it's a repeat of AR - already!

    The reason I signed up was to follow them. If I'm going to bad mouth them, having a cheap account helps. Furthermore, my cc works well when I need to do a chargeback.

    I'll keep yous posted.

    Here's their latest update:

    @Warren_Smith Their hosting contract with their current provider was terminated, and they are scrambling to re-host with another provider. Expect a RE-IP shortly.

    The dead give-away this is Adam Ng and team is the complete lack of transparency or honesty. Their status page downplays it as "some customers are impacted", when its every single customer, and they are fully aware that they were being shut down, but didn't proactively alert their customer base. Their two nodes (cutely named 91 and 99) are having the contents rsync'd off network to a new provider now.

    Lets see who hosts them next.

  • Just received a full refund from PSK without even asking for it. I then tried to login to my account but it seems to have been deleted - user unknown. Looks like it's deadpool for PSK?

    I would accept a PSK vps if they gave me the remaining time I had in the alpharacks annual plan, 7 months, but they offer only some months as a "bonus", no deal

  • The probably should be removed not only because of proof but also for the one like OCD on mobile

    Well-played

  • Are they still down from Server Hub yanking the dedi? HA!

  • You are write
    They make me fool one more time.
    See my last ticket there:

    Let me see if I get it right:

    1 - You with the Alpharack names are blocked, or do not pay for the data-center, lose all my data and do not return the amounts paid in advance.
    2 - You using another name, now psk hosting, offer services similar to those of before, elsewhere.
    3 - I, innocently contract an alphareseller service with whm. and upload my files, set up website, whmcs, etc.
    4 - The new DC discovers psk hosting and alpharacks are the same company that hurt thousands of people, and kicks you out.
    5 - Again, you lose all my data and the other customers, and now you can not even get more whm licenses, probably because do not paid cpanel, and now you give me a directadmin reseller.

    I do not understand, today is July 2, not April 1. It's a joke, right? You are going to deliver the service I bought, and the backups of all my data.

    Phew, you almost fool me. It was the best joke of the year ..
    kkkkkkkkkkkk

    Hmm... perhaps you got scammed. Did you get an answer to your ticket? Asked for a refund?

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    Try turning it and off.

    It might erase a selective part of your memory and make everything great again.

  • And the offers keep on coming:

    If you would like to unsubscribe from PSK Hosting’s emails, you may click https://deleted.php?action=details#emailpreferences to be removed from our mailing list, ...

    Like I'm falling for that one. Just filter to trash.

    Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

    This is on you, not them.
