    I've been watching your offers with strong interest, but I (and probably some other potential customers) am worried about the Epik involvement/investment in your business and potential of impact if something serious happens to Epik.

    The ask in a previous thread https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3571770/#Comment_3571770 to shed some light on the involvement (and subsequent risk to any customers) wasn't answered.

    If this can be addressed truthfully and tansparently, you might put potential customers at ease and convert people who were otherwise 'sitting on the fence' into paying customers.

    Looks like spray on anti-inflammable shit. The transition to floor and other flat, recessed walls looks weird.

    It's a man-made limestone cave.

    Limestone cave would be a nice upgrade from a man cave.

    Most likely they cannot answer for whatever reason(legal, boss says no, etc) as requests for more info about the Epik involvement have often been ignored. You pretty much have to make your own conclusions if you will trust them to handle your owned property in a colo situation it seems.

    For me personally I use their dedicated servers and am happy and would recommend it, but would not put my own hardware with them until it is clear on the extent of Epik involvement as I could see Epik going insolvent at some point. Just my opinion 🤷‍♂️

    I have talked to them directly and their large customers, everything seems to be all right and if Epik went under - Terra can easily buy back their company.
    As you can clearly tell, they do not have issues with money what so ever and they are opening their 3rd data center in Norway this year.

    That's my opinion, I would personally trust them with hardware for colo because I trust their word - and why would you go with any provider for that matter, which you don't trust.

    I'd agree. At the end of the day I don't want to be the person to take the gamble. There are other vendors out there that don't have these problems or have any information anyways about these kinds of problems that I can pay probably around the same amount to get the same level/quality of service.

    I'm fine if others want to be the Guinea pig and go for it, but for me the lack of directly addressing this head-on or responding in some way about it makes it feel like it's shaky ground. Yes I can understand they might be under restrictions or concern, but I'm working off of what information is available publicly and directly from them (not listening to "friend of a friend" or "some random guy on the internet" because they have no incentive in my own wellbeing or success) and the lack of direct information from the vendor addressing this will have me looking elsewhere because standing on unstable ground is not great especially if I can get similar offerings within similar price ranges from other vendors who don't have this as a concern.

    Would you rather spend 1000 dollars a month on something that might have some concerns or would you rather spend 1000 dollars a month on something that's comparable with none of this concern (or significantly less). 1000 dollars really isn't a lot but the premise of the message is there.

    Has been like this since yesterday for us, possibly longer. Support said they'd look into it this weekend but I'm wondering if it's isolated or wider spread.

    We put a lot of our public-facing stuff (website mirrors, control panels, DNS cluster, etc) on different networks so not all of our eggs in the same basket, and instead, with different providers. This server hosts our VPS Control Panel and the network performance right now is having a real negative impact on things.

    Yes, seems to be some bad optics on Lumens side. They are working on it.
