FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - BuyVM joins Cloudzy AI!
This will go out as an email later today/tomorrow:
Hello {$firstname},
We’re happy to announce that as of January 7th 2025 BuyVM has been acquired by Cloudzy AI!
WHY??
Quite simply, it’s time for a change, and that change for me is focusing on NameCrane, our domain registrar.
I’ll still handle a lot of the more complex tasks at BuyVM and support requests, but Hannan and his team at Cloudzy AI will bring much needed upgrades, new products, and maybe if asked nicely, new locations.
So, you’re staying with BuyVM?
Yep. I’ll be working for both companies, focusing on infrastructure, advanced support requests, as well as supporting multiple teams.
You’ll still be able to talk to me directly on Discord or on hosting forums like WebhostingTalk, LowEndTalk, and LowEndSpirit.
Who’s Cloudzy AI?
Cloudzy AI is a Cloud/VPS service provider operated by Hannan Nozari, a friend of mine that I’ve known since our days doing gameserver hosting under Frantech. He fully supports our stance on Freedom of Speech & Law of the Land. We’re in good hands.
We wouldn’t have considered this acquisition otherwise.
I’ve personally known Hannan for over 15 years (since before BuyVM). Cloudzy has colocated servers with BuyVM for almost 2 years now, allowing me to work closely with his teams on a near daily basis.
In that time I’ve been able to see how skilled & driven they are. From their development team, to their support team, to their leadership. I have no doubt we’ll dream up new products & features that I couldn’t do with how small I’ve kept the BuyVM team.
What changes should we expect?
Your current pricing & services aren’t changing at all. No change in pricing. No reduction in resources. No IP address renumbering. No downgrades in hardware. No loss of features (Anycast, DDOS protection, BGP, etc).
All the staff you’ve grown to love are still here. Akash, Leo, Mateus, & Dave, are sticking around.
Our content policies are staying the same as well; Law of the Land. Our TOR policy isn’t changing, although we ask that you update your EXIT policies to block port 22. Our fair share bandwidth policies stay the same.
Locations?
Luxembourg is moving in the next 6 months. The location has become borderline impossible for us to operate due to a lack of Remote Hands, as well as non stop vendor related issues. More on this in the next week or two.
This means the location will likely move to the Netherlands. This isn’t a choice I’ve wanted to make, but the 6 hour total outage in November, and an additional 2 day outage on one of our hypervisors is what’s breaking our backs.
New York, Vegas, & Miami, are staying put, with Miami aiming to get additional bandwidth providers soon.
What improvements are coming?
Lots, all good things. New hardware, a new website, a proper marketing & sales team, and more support staff. New product lines and new locations will come in time.
With the changes in Luxembourg, we’ll be deploying all new 7900/7950X based nodes and live migrating everyone we can from LUX to NL. No IP changes required (unless you’re wanting to renumber for some reason).
We’ll also be joining at least 1 Internet Exchange in the area as well (something that was pointless in Luxembourg).
Closing thoughts
As always, we thank you for your years of patronage and hope to continue seeing you around!
A word from Hannan at Cloudzy AI
Thank you to all our valued customers for your continued trust and support throughout the years. We want to reassure you that, with these updates, there’s no need to worry about the future of your services. Cloudzy remains committed to providing top-tier performance and reliability, and your data will always be in safe hands with us. We look forward to continuing to serve you for many more years to come.

hello
Congrats
it was good while it lasted.
Ah fuck me - i dont like this luxembourg horse cock vps 1gb my beloved.
Congrats, and dealzzz from new company?
Neither do I. My star fish has basically been clenched for 3 years, ever since we moved to Luxconnect direct. We had a a couple days of downtime on one of the racks in the past 12 months because we can't get them to fix optics.
Its been a gongshow and why we don't send more gear there.
Francisco
No more lux..... sed.....
I'm sure @Hannan and Cloudzy will do deals/discounts. I'm guessing they'll get a provider membership and take part in that all. We never did since coupons really weren't my thing on BuyVM/Frantech side.
Francisco
But kind saar, do you think Netherlands is on par with Luxembourg in terms of free-speech and ignoring DMCA? I want to continue hosting stolen gay porn sir I don't want dmca ok.
reguards
Your DMCA has been doubled.
@MannDude what do you think about Netherlands location instead of Luxembourg, as a well-known professional operating there?
Sir please double my gay porn I give $3.50
Tinyweasel will miss you
I mean, all the big IPTV's are in NL..... For speech its pretty well the same.
Francisco
any freebie?
Why the name contain "AI" ?
I dont want to speak for @Francisco , but I'd say it depends some on the DC, I guess. NL isn't the offshore haven some think it is though. There is a lot of outside influence for going after big copyright violators.
Just my $0.02
That's the companies name. Cloudzy's working towards, or already offers, GPU based hosting.
Francisco
You've never been on LowEndTalk anyway. A 1GB, 20GB SSD plan for $3.50 isn't cheap. It would be a horrible investment for them if they plan to change the friendly DMCA policy, as that's all you have
Hahahahahha.
Being a single father of at least 400 LET users and having to manage 2 brands, it's only understandable BuyVM has outgrown you @Francisco, so I'm only going to silently judge you for it.
I love luxembourg horse cock vps, my beloved one and only.
You should read back to the very start of LET
I think we're one of the first 10 posts LEA ever made. The $3.50/month 1G's were competitive then, and with our features they still are. Our 128MB's set an entire market trend for many years up until the $7/m 2GB's took over.
They don't compete for people that need raw resources though. Maybe Cloudzy changes that or forms BUYNERD or something on cheaper hardware.
Francisco
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Aspiring to become a massive gay porn website this seems a bit concerning to me. If not Luxembourg, I guess I have to go back to Romania or AlexHost's shitty 100mbps moldova vps.
Congratulations, @Francisco.
Congratulations and thank you for the great slabs!
You're welcome.
More slabs on the way. I've already started leaning on Hannan to get more gear into NY (slabs + some 79XX/99XX ryzen's). Lets see when he does that
For NL/wherever it'd be some more slabs then too.
Francisco
Congratulations {$firstname}
👍🏼👍🏼
"Will be sent as an email", so I left the WHMCS variable in there
Francisco
Congratulations on selling and staying with the business! Look forward to see BuyVM and Namecrane continue to grow.
I totally understand.
Congratulations and wishing you the very best.
