Looking to move 15 VPS's

I currently use MadCityServers LLC as a primary VPS provider; however, its owner has passed away (RIP), and 9 out of the 15 servers I have are down.

Here's the server inventory:
(3) AMD Ryzen 9 7950X servers (LAX, MIA, NYC) with 4 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, 80GB NVME, 10Gbps Unmetered Port for US$ 7.25/month each
(3) AMD Ryzen 9 7950X servers (LAX, MIA, NYC) with 4 vCPUs, 16GB RAM, 240GB NVME, 10Gbps Unmetered Port for US$ 12.50/month each
(3) Intel Core i9 14900K servers (LAX, MIA, NYC) with 4 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, 80GB NVME, 10Gbps Unmetered Port for US$ 7.75/month each
(6) Intel Core i9 14900K servers (2xLAX, 2xMIA, 2xNYC) with 6 vCPUs, 24GB RAM, 360GB NVME, 10Gbps Unmetered Port for US$ 16.25/month each

I'm looking for any provider that can be as reasonably close to these specs as possible. Thank you all in advance.

    Never heard about this. That's sad. (Where did you find that info?) You had some great deals, those are ReliableSite servers and I can't even come near that with cheaper hardware so he must have had some excellent deals from Radic, or MCC guy was just taking a loss.

    If you want something in Dallas at similar prices DM me, but I can't offer 10Gbps in any locations anywhere near that price.

    Damn, MCC doesn't have the best rep but from the time I had servers with Brian. He was great person and was open and honest. He worked with me to resolve any issues that came up. Never had any issues with him.

    I'd agree that the plans you listed are really good indeed. Highly doubt it would be easy to find the same pricing.

    As for the reasonably close, here's an alternative for the machines 1 & 3 in NY:

    And another one for VPS #2:

    The prices are close, but there are less cores. At the same time the EPYC cores (and other resources) are dedicated.

    Because of that these VDS offers can be stacked.

  • How sad, how did you find out about his death? I also had servers with him, he always served me well and solved any problem. I hired and migrated to DataWagon.

    Thank you everyone who has responded, especially to @MikeA with ExtraVM, where I was able to very quickly get onboarded and move 33% of my critical workloads.

    For those who have asked how I found out, outside of monitoring the network status:
    https://www.trustpilot.com/review/madcityservers.com

    Brian had a note in our Control Panel saying he was going in for a medical procedure and would be out October 11th-15th. By then, 7 of my servers were down, and by the time I made this post, it had reached 9 - I knew something tragic had happened. Brian was always on top of things, and always tended to my requests in under 24 hours - usually within minutes in most cases.

    Let this be a lesson to those of you that are SOLO operators: HAVE A BACKUP PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE, and assure your clients you have a plan in place for any unforeseen events. And for everyone else, do exactly as Brian ALWAYS told his clients: MAKE IT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE OFFSITE BACKUPS.

    I appreciate you all...

    With Gratitude,
    Charles "cp3o" Parks, III

    May he rest in peace. Glad you're making progress with finding a new home @cp3o and solid advice there. Business owners should always strive to have their business self sustaining in a way in which if one day something awry were to happen to the owner, the business would still run just fine.

  • I would honestly hope that he is just still recovering and hasn’t had the time to check on things. It seems that some servers are still online

    Especially with these smaller LET hosts. So many are either one or a couple person operation. God forbid something happens and things go silent.

  • Does he have any other partners or employees? My servers are down, and the data hasn't been extracted yet.

    Not that anyone knows of. Unless that changes (which is VERY doubtful at this point) the only way you'll be able to extract any data is if you backed up off-site.

    The only other option is to file a Legal Injunction against @ReliableSiteHosting. But that will be a LONG process, especially if you do not know how to contact Brian's next of kin. You may be able to send it to the address on file with the Illinois Secretary of State for his company, but be advised, he let his LLC lapse and that contact information may not be current.

    I don't want to bring more trouble to him, his relatives and his company. I hope his partner and supplier ReliableSiteHosting can intervene in this matter as soon as possible.

  • Unfortunately, your data may be lost. I doubt that ReliableSite can do anything since its sensitive customer data.

    I have sent an email to ReliableSite and they replied that the server was cancelled by madcity

    **Hello,

    All servers from MadCity that are "down" were canceled by this customer. Once a server is canceled, all data is wiped.

    Here's an email some guy on ONGF received from the owner on Jan 28th, 2023:

    Hi

    We don't own any data centers. We colocate our servers in Chicago and Buffalo New York and run our network in those locations with our own switches and routers. Los Angeles,New York Metro and Miami we lease servers in those locations but will be moving to our own servers in time. We currently have 3 employees. Myself,10 years IT tech, A network engineer 22 years exp,and one that deals with the billing back end and makes sure all the bills are paid to keep everything online. We are a small company. We dont need an office. This brings unneeded overhead that will need to be passed on to the customer. Most of us work from home on our own pc. If there is an issue with one of the servers we own I take care of the Chicago location and our network engineer takes care of Buffalo New York(Thats where he lives). Other locations are taken care of with Reliablesite. They are who we lease servers from in Los Angeles,New York Metro and Miami. We will be expanding into Dallas Texas next month. This will be running our network and hardware there too.

    After looking into your comment, you may actually be right about this (the circumstances are eerily similar). Nevertheless, I've long moved on, and luckily I had everything in a clustered HA configuration so nothing was lost. I went with 2 vendors this time, and they're both actually much faster than the @ReliableSiteHosting backed servers.

    Brian - IF you are alive and you indeed have pulled off this scam again as @taizi has called out, I would HIGHLY suggest you never try this again and find a new career. Too many eyeballs are on this, and if I catch you online starting a new hosting company, I'm reporting you directly to the FBI. RIP to you, or your hosting career.

    If you have lost servers, data, payments, or revenue from @hotlineservers or @Madcityservers, here's some public information to help you initiate your legal recourse:


    Here's what @taizi was talking about:
    https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/172358/hotlineservers-are-down

    If you know for a fact that Brian Warren is alive, and you've made at least ONE payment to him for hosting, here is the contact information to the FBI's Chicago Field Office:
