For?
Is the company even denying they entered a VM without permission/warrant?
He is not denying. He is in fact proud of it.

Some fight between dedicatserver_ro and cociu
Sadly unable to find the exact reason in Vanilla forums
Hiring guys off Fiverr and logging in to all VMs.. listing processes | grep.
So does this mean providers can easily steal my private porn stash?
Bloody Invasive
think about how much porn fransisco or cociu could steal probably more than 100 tbs
Now with regards to their website, the provider says someone is currently executing a DDoS attack, which is why their site is offline because they have null-routed their IP?
From within their infra or externally? I'm confused.
???
which is in the same town as @dedicatserver_ro ...
Two answers to that: (a) the relevant term is 'legal', so you'd have to know both their TOS and the romanian laws, and (b) a VPS user buys a service; the node owner still is the provider and he can look at everything on his server, and sometimes even needs to do so.
Sure, that feels unpleasant but frankly, to believe that ones stuff on a VPS is really private seems to be, uhm, extremely optimistic to me.
So, suggestion: Let's say that a decent provider doesn't look into a customers VPS without technical or legal necessity.
See above
HaHaHa! 'Evidence'? Of what? Of a customer downloading a document that you deem to be evil? Ridiculous! Maybe he downloaded that document in order to learn and to protect himself.
Evidence? You have nothing plus you have demonstrated idiocy and utter disrespect for your customers.
Where did I say that I've violated your TOS? I have just caught you logging into my server without permission.
Let me clarify, this isn't about problems with abuse or whatever. A provider without permission logged in to my server and God knows what they've done.
Probably stole my data or just take a look at how good is my data keeping them secured 🤷♂️?
Well @dedicatserver_ro, you have been bumping your own threads for attention and looks like now you're finally getting some
Probably better to leave the host. He seems to believe that you are up to no good. Also seeing that he seems to avoid answering some (vital) questions, he doesn't have evidence to back it up.
He just thinks that you are up to no good.
You didn't bang his girl, did you?
why is your claim to be powerful DDOS protection, but website null routed?
Do you really think it's funny? Your reputation and trust are lost forever.
If you still think this is acceptable you could just move to hack forums and advertise here.
Well... Now thats 2 out of 2.
Seems like one should just avoid Romanian hosts in general 🤷🏻♂️
I still trust cociu.
He has given us a new vocabulary: Involucrated.
The service is just for their customers, not for themselves so they're not covered/protected
Don't you get it? You've confirmed publicly that you entered a customers VPS and sniffed around. And to make it worse you publicly stated an allegation that is evidence only for one thing that is, that you do not even know what you are talking about (or are paranoid) and that you don't give a damn for your customers privacy.
FYI: I have benchmarked one of your VPSs and the results aren't bad, particularly for the low price but you've ruined everything by your nonsensical action here and by ridiculous allegations and utter disrespect for your customers. I can not in good conscience recommend dedicatserver.ro.
TL;DR You have demonstrated how to ruin with the left hand what the right hand tried to create (new business) with this thread. Congrats.
This guy is way less honorable than cociu, i rather trust cociu with my sisters than him.
It's nice to see that the provider seems to see this as a cheerful situation, winking and smiling away.
You're the f'kin provider! I was viewing it from the user's/customer's perspective. Jeez.
@jsg Not sure if you agree with me, or otherwise. I did say "IMHO" and legalities aside, you mentioned the same factor but in a different fashion:
but
cociu respects the privacy at client's garden at least.
It's a joke to you, huh?
Potentially, one could make money by DoS-ing their own customers and charging them for the bandwidth overages then?
I like dedicat service because it is something like real cloud service. when I install one type of OS, it give me one IP on a 2660v3 node. then one day I decide change OS, voila it give me another IP on a 2670 node.
even better now to note that DDOS is reserve for real paying customers. 99% other providers have their website better than VPS service.
now we know they also help check our VM for illegal activity. we don't need to be afraid our VM is compromised by virus.
10/10 top provider
Involucrated.
Whatever that means.
Yet another validation for NOT using a provider's ISO/cloud-init for 'production' systems. Fine to use for test/network checking/settings but always build a server from minimal ISO and official sources. Yup, it's more time/effort but at least you get to decide disc layout/type and what is installed eg. backdoor ssh keys.
