I also just read the announcement and just asked to upgrade/downgrade from the UK to the Netherlands with order number 5202542366 although as @Jord said it looks like everything will come down one by one. But that's all that can be done because refunds are not possible and on Friday the UK server will be shut down by zare.
Agreed completely. Thankfully I only had that one domain with smallweb for promo pricing and not using it in production (everything else is with Porkbun direct for exactly the reasons yourself and @debaser outlined), however thought I'd give a heads up to anyone else who may have any domains hosted with smallweb/nexusbytes.
The business should have been sold. A good manager knows when he reaches his limits, so he stops taking new orders and tries to sell. This did not happen with NexusBytes.
In my opinion this deadpool is a just another popcorn drama which deserves to be treated as such, like many others before it.
If you still have access to service: TAKE BACKUPS!
To be honest, I don't really mind about getting a refund, the prices were cheap anyway and I can absorb that.
What's most important for me is the access to my files and database. I don't have any recent backup and this is all I need. I'm crossing my fingers to have this resolved and get access to my files and have the opportunity to take backups.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to Namesilo, I only have access to the .co.uk one SmallWeb used, I can't even get the EPP code from within Blesta as Namesilo emails it, which is rather annoying. Sorry about that.
Please don't apologise @Jord - I know how these things go down and if I end up losing the domain, no biggie. You always provided great support with my dealings with smallweb, and I know the current situation is just how the cookie crumbles, sometimes.
On a personal note, maybe don't check this thread too often for your sanity - once a day perhaps?
I'll contact Namesilo directly in the next day or so and see what they say

the current thing...
i wonder why providers were not putting a mask on their logo when there was covid, it was also scary and shit.
@Jord
Is the whole thing unraveling, all locations, or is there reason for hope that some locations will survive? NL for instance seems to be OK (as of yesterday evening local time).
Also, given the circumstances it might be helpful if you published (here on LET) a list/table of locations and their current status, and update that when there are changes.
Btw, while I can't help much like e.g. @Zare and @SGraf do (again: kudos!) I'll offer what little I can do: please don't worry about any refunds or some such to me. You (and Jay, while in control of himself) have always been good to me and you have enough worries already; I certainly don't want to bother you with what little I might be owed. Just focus on what can possibly be saved/kept alive and please, do not forget to keep your own rear (a__) safe too!
Also, if it should get really ugly I suggest you create a "save the panda!" account. I for one, but certainly many others here too, would be willing to help out with some €$.
There's even more to that - while travelling, I put a mask with my country flag (Lithuania) and it's fun to observe how people suddenly become your friends or the contrary - keep some distance. I even met one very nice guy from Ghana, who tought I'm his homie
My London EntryBytes VPS also went down but thanks a lot to @kuroit for providing me with a new VPS at the same price and specs + extra storage, bandwidth and network speed on top!
I am a bit late but I do have at least 10 TB of storage space available if anyone needs temporary space for a month (maybe even 2). No strings attached. Just PM me. Location is Germany at Hetzner with 1 gbit link.
Edit: SFTP
Does anyome know MrRadic or someone from Reliablesite and ask to reach out to those who are on the NYC server?
Unfortunately, I don't have backups and just a few hours access to my files would be the world for me and others who are on the NYC server.
@MrRadic Maybe can help or not. I understand if they choose not to also.
I have seen this nightmare before with many providers over the years. It is sad.
Yes, it is a really sad day! But mostly the community has stepped up! I will remember these providers that helped out and give them a little of my business in the near future.
I promise when in 10 years I have my own hosting provider I won't fail LET
No one is injured, no one is dead (hopefully), what's so sad? You've consciously chosen to be the mod in a place of high risk of such events. So..
I suspect no serious businesses have ever used NB, and those users who did, again - have made a conscious choice back then. Not keeping backups is one more conscious choice.
Picking unlucky users is not a choice, but rather a necessity for providers, and I'm surprised, why so few offered their services so far. Yet offering one year free is something not many would've done, I must admit. The same as lending own storage.
Helping those in need is an essential human quality, just let's not overrate the situation. LET is one of the best places for drama, but overreacting makes it less involving.
That history keeps repeating itself. I suspect you are very wrong about ' suspect no serious businesses have ever used NB', NB used to be a very solid choice.
Also, what does me being a mod have anything to do with expressing my opinion of a revolving door situation and saying I think it's sad. In any case, perhaps it is just miscommunication. In the end, the community which is the backbone of LET is stepping up, so thank you!
Any SP500 companies in their clientele you think? Whatever; largest top 50000, 100000?
None of solid providers I've known like 10 years ago have disappeared until today. Yeah, some acquisitions happened, but that's it.
It's not exclusively about you, but about LET users in general. I'm fine with drama, not so much with overreacting or faking.
Thanks for that, I'm trying to reach out to him and hopefuly he could help.
Or at least, ask him to not delete the files and wait for a possible payment from NB
FYI: serious != big
Think about your country and you'll understand.
Word "serious" wasn't mentioned, we were talking about "solid".
BTW, you wouldn't have guessed, which country was the largest in Europe in 16th century, would you? And considering current events, history may repeat itself, just think about it.
So? FYI: solid != big
So? Even in the 16th century, solid != big
