I like bamboo, I see a potential for some bamboo shafting soon....
I like you, I like sex, is very nice!
Please add Arch Hosting to your list of closing hosts. They're closing 1/10.
Just when you think they have reached the lowest, they come up with something showing that their lowest end has yet to come.
Scamming as a Service (SaaS) brought to you by CC.
Kudos to them for keeping this forum alive and not down for “attack”, while these drama unfolds.
Lowendbox.com: we keep you guessing how low is low
Stop giving them ideas 😂
Future tense? So, checks title, have NOT dead pooled?
Arch Hosting or ArchHosting, last year listed not only at LEB but at other very famous deals websites, with a lifetime offer, is also closing in the next weeks. Already have refugee deal that won't honor the lifetime accounts... "Well would you look at that"?
"It is with deepest apologies and regret, that Arch Hosting LLC will be closing down on the 10th of January, 2020. Due to unforeseen circumstances we are no longer able to continue operations. To ensure that there is minimal impact on your website, we have managed to secure a refugee arrangement with a reputable provider. Shock Hosting has agreed to provide special pricing and honor existing expiration dates on all paid hosting services and domains"
"all paid" , except lifetime ones. Amazing companies we find at the web hosting world.
Present continuous/progressive tense.
hello @eeellama (and @webmaster24
)based on some discussion here already, I'm inclined to believe that the Arch Hosting shutdown would belong on an entirely different list ("doing it right, not a scam")
This thread is all about the 2019 LEB Shitpool 25 - many of which seem to be sockpuppets for someone closer to the action at CC
Boss,
No offense, but "Lifetime" deals with a one-time payment, for a service that has a monthly cost, is only valid for the "lifetime" of the business. Unfortunately, no one knows if that "lifetime" is 1 day, 1 month, 1 year or 1 decade.
I don't know the details at all, this was couple hours ago, just that they were a "Leb Host" (first time I saw them).
Until they're proven to be a CC shitpuppet they are clear from inclusion on the shitlist on account of it being part of a non related shitsystem.
ExtraVM are also a LEB host, by that logic.
Present is next month? Closing business, not dead pooling. Hasn't started dead pooling nor will. I guess "dead pooling" has different meaning to different people, but an organized migration to another provider wouldn't fit what I've always considered "dead pooling" (e g. turn off the lights and go home, shit runs until hardware or software fails and no one there to fix). That scenario I'd say fits "present continuous/progressive".
Well, as I said, if post says "A bunch of LEB hosts" and I saw it on Leb, how can I know if it's closely related with CC or not? I don't and I don't care (?!).
Don't tarnish his good name by calling @MikeA a LEB Host. He is prem. "Budget Friendly" yes. LEB, hell nah.
Edit: We are coming to a point, where calling someone a LEB host feels as slimy as calling them an offshore/HackForum host.
I was making the point that by that guy's logic, any host that's been featured on LEB is a LEB host, but there's a distinctive difference between those and the CC shithosts in question.
I know what you meant my good Borat
. P.S Rewatched Borat today, thanks to you.

I asked DO support whether it's OK to resell their droplets this way.
Cc: Is it making us money? Then it's good
Users: But we are getting scammed!
Cc: That's your fault
ScamHost:
Users:
Rest of the world: WTF!
The general consensus: ColoCrossing is a shitshow, always has been and always will. Yet for some reason we all keep coming back here, keeping this place viable.
That said, I'll be logging out to never login back again. This place was fun while it lasted. I've never been an active user so I don't actually expect people to know me, but for those who know me: I'll be around on LES and HB.
Anyone care to venture a guess as to how many customers and how much money might might be involved?
In the grand internet tradition, I'll put out a half-assed guess and wait for a "no, you are wrong!" to get a better answer
Total customers: about 2500
Total amount scammed: approximately $25,000
Their plans are $20 or more each. Remember that it's all yearly plans. They put the plans on offer at $20 to 40, while on their website it costs $30 to 60.
So even if I take $30 as average per user, and say each user had only 1 plan (remember, most people had multiple servers with them), the minimum they scammed is $75,000.00
Given their server costs around $200 each and I say they had 25 servers, that's $5,000.00.
So their profit was around $70,000.00 before salary and other associated costs.
That's a very good Christmas bonus!
