    Thing is, now that this is out in the open, a lot of their monthly recurring revenue likely cancelled, or converted into these stupid crazy deals. They were 'only' 25% in the hole, some better plans (maybe still 30G or whatever but at a lot higher price would still sell well) to fill in that hole and they learn their lesson.

    That 25% is likely going to be a fuck load higher real quick though.

    What's the fix? Send everyone a new invoice to make up the difference? People will go report them to some anti consumer boards, or demand refunds/chargeback. Chargeback fees could be $30 on top of the lost cash.

    I don't know what the fix is. I don't see why any host would try to white knight this when they could just offer some crazy plans (that are at the very least break even) without taking the baggage.

    Francisco

    If I had 12 months of op ex available in the bank and I was given the keys... Here's what I would do, that should have actually happened.

    In that reddit post, Lewis told any prospective buyers that the company was running at a 25% loss. So, he wouldn't have 12 months of cash ready in the bank unless the majority of his sales in BF were for 3 years.

    Of course, he also said that he has been running Veloxmedia for 4 years. It's quite possible if he's made 25% loss every year, and this is the first year he tried a BF promotion that all the money that came in over BF was used to pay off his previous debts.

    I'd cut the fat. If we have under utilized hardware, either get rid of it or push new products out at 3% above break even pricing. The unsustainable deals is what got us here in the first place.

    Absolutely cut the fat, but that can only apply to new sales going forward.

    Those 30GB VPS? Discontinue. You have 6 months. Or you can have what you actually need based on your current usage and you can have a guarantee it will be there. Pro rata it.

    And that would be a breach of contract and people should chargeback immediately.

    And this whole pro-rata nonsense. That's what already happens on an oversold node.

    Maybe he could look at RAM ballooning, but that would still suck, and in any case doesn't fix the underlying problem, which is that he doesn't have enough people on each node to cover the costs of each node. The reason for that (and probably the reason for selling these crazy packages in the first place) is that the nodes are way too large. I suspect the underlying reason for this is that he's just got way too many locations for such a small company. If he started with a single server in one location, expanding only when that was filled, there's scope for reducing expenditure by moving instances to different nodes and reducing the server count.

    Price increases HAVE to happen. Yes that's going to upset customers but it would only affect new customers. Existing customers on monthly have 3 months notice so they can decide.

    That's just BS. You're buying into his shitshow. Prices don't have to increase at all. If you buy a business knowing it's losing money, that's on you. You need to cover the loss until you turn it around.

    Sure, increase prices going forward for renewals and new orders, but customers who have already entered into a contract AND pre-paid are not just an infinite money source that you can extract more from. They're already paid and fulfilled all their obligations in the deal.

    Diversify. Can't just be a hosting company... We need to offer something different and unique(got a lot of knowledge in container orchestration and networks).

    It seems like the problem was that he diversified into hosting and completely misunderstood what he was getting himself into.

    Give customers 3 months. Refund and shut it down. It's tarnished. Nobody sane enough can salvage this unless you have fuck you money and staff. Only the insane would try and salvage it (I am insane but not insane enough).

    Don't even give 3 months, that'll just make refunding / chargebacks even harder. If he's going to do that, do it ASAP. By all means, let people still access their data for a grace period, but operating for 3 months knowing he's going to do a full refund anyway is just guaranteeing an even bigger loss.

    You took a hypothetical scenario too seriously.

    Also maybe I had fuck you money in that hypothetical scenario?

    It doesn't matter we all agree this business is fucked and if the current owner doesn't want to provide his real name, his business registration, his experience and his plans then anything anyone says doesn't matter and I think people should back up and start asking for their money back.

    In my opinion @VeloxMedia should do everything in their power to reverse this mess, and give back to Lewis (or whatever the name of that scammer) their whole mess to deal with it personally (since he was a sole trader). With each passing day this legal scam heads further into its fruition, while its old owner is already chilling and relaxing.

    Very much wishful thinking, as much as my hypothetical scenario. It's clear Lewis didn't give a fuck. This new one doesn't have any tact or sense...

    @default said: Yeah, but one can't just complain to the bank or payment processor of a chargeback because a company or a brand was sold to someone else.

    If you had a contract with a sole trader, now taken over by someone who prefers to remain anonymous and now has access to your data, I'd assume not only is a refund not out of the question but also that this whole thing might be very illegal.

    Not an expert in this, but this whole affair, especially as a sole trader, and the buyer remaining anonymous, is a legal mess.

    What are you talking about??? My deals are you talking about peoples original orders? I haven't made any statements about not honoring those at all. I have no intentions of not honoring them and everything is still operational. The plan right now is to keep everything as is.

    If you're talking about current promo's/deals going on somewhere for sale, then no we might not honor them. Anything purchased right now is reviewed and accepted or cancelled/refunded. If its a outrageously low deal it'll be refunded, if its somewhat sane it'll be accepted.

    We're still waiting for a proper introduction from you. That you haven't done so seems to show that you have something to hide.

    Its Christmas man. Give me time

    How much time to you need to create a fake identity?

    How much time do you realistically feel it should take to create a legitimate US corporation during Christmas week? Attorneys, accounting, file a public statement and everything? What's a fair timeline for you?

    Why do you need to create a legitimate US corporation when you're already a registered business? During the early part of this discussion, the former owner indicated that Benthost took over.

    Yes of course. How else can I register the name, obtain licensing, copyrights, insurance and everything else. Obviously its separate from anything else. No one runs multiple businesses under the same corporate structure, at a minimum you still legally need to file a DBA and other legal paperwork.

    So again since everyone is in such a rush to ask all this info. How much time is reasonable to get all this information together, filed, and processed with the US government and state government during the holidays? Especially with the state of our government

    If velox is really operating at a massive loss, it wouldn't make sense to tie it to another existing company, it'd be better to legally register it as a new entity. Plus we already know how sketchy lewi was with his invoices etc.

    Its all good. Not sure why everyone here seems to want there to be issues.

    Why are you ignoring questions about your company's registered name?

    Its been 2 business days on a holiday week. Its literally 11am on Christmas right now. We're working as fast as we can to prepare everything.

    And it's literally quicker to type your legal name and company name than type that excuse.

    You are being deliberately obtuse.

    You've got plenty of time it seems to reply to this thread. You can do yourself a favor. If you don't want to do that then everyone in this entire read has every right to criticize the shit out of you and it's very fair. You've dodged my questions about who you are at every moment.

    You are the one who claim to be experienced.

    You are the one who claimed to have an existing company called Benthost.

    You are the one who claimed that your existing company bought this out.

    Why are you suddenly needing to create a US corp?

    But since you ask, I don't know about US corps, I'm not in the US. A cursory google search shows that to incorporate in Delaware takes about 2-3 days.

    Personally, I'm in the UK. Where, if Lewis had wanted to do the right thing and set up a limited company which would have solved all of these problems, it would have cost £50 and would take one working day. So you could have done it on either the 22nd, 23rd or 24th, all of which were business days. I know exactly how long it takes in the UK, because I've done it before.

    How much time do you realistically feel it should take to create a legitimate US corporation during Christmas week? Attorneys, accounting, file a public statement and everything? What's a fair timeline for you?

    Why do you need to create a legitimate US corporation when you're already a registered business? During the early part of this discussion, the former owner indicated that Benthost took over.

    Nice catch.

    If velox is really operating at a massive loss, it wouldn't make sense to tie it to another existing company, it'd be better to legally register it as a new entity. Plus we already know how sketchy lewi was with his invoices etc.

    How do you tie a company to another company without filing with the government? How long do you expect this process to take during christmas?

    So if the transfer is not finalised, you can still back off from this mess. There is still time for you to get out of this mess.

    You said you not gonna honor the deals, You already said you are different companies, yet you seem to work together.
    I hope Stripe and Paypal show you some love, after that many chargebacks.

    What are you talking about??? My deals are you talking about peoples original orders? I haven't made any statements about not honoring those at all. I have no intentions of not honoring them and everything is still operational. The plan right now is to keep everything as is.

    If you're talking about current promo's/deals going on somewhere for sale, then no we might not honor them. Anything purchased right now is reviewed and accepted or cancelled/refunded. If its a outrageously low deal it'll be refunded, if its somewhat sane it'll be accepted.

    We're still waiting for a proper introduction from you. That you haven't done so seems to show that you have something to hide.

    Its Christmas man. Give me time

    Are you currently forming a company? What previous hosting company did you have experience in running?

    Yes of course. How else can I register the name, obtain licensing, copyrights, insurance and everything else. Obviously its separate from anything else. No one runs multiple businesses under the same corporate structure, at a minimum you still legally need to file a DBA and other legal paperwork.

    So again since everyone is in such a rush to ask all this info. How much time is reasonable to get all this information together, filed, and processed with the US government and state government during the holidays? Especially with the state of our government

    But .. didn't you do this BEFORE the keys changed hands?

    If the old owner is gone, and the new owner doesn't exist yet, who owns it right now?

    A holding company that I purchased and wont exist next week... wanna guess the name?

    This is all standard business processes.

    If I tell you guys the name then tomorrow say the company name is VeloxMedia you guys will be confused and think I'm scamming because its confusing. But this is how it works in business because you need to hold assets while they're setup then transferred and setup properly. I'm not hiding anything just not explaining it until we have it all properly finalized.

    ITS BEEN 3 DAYS!!! ITS CHRISTMAS!!!

    @Maelstrom36 said: I don't think that's a good idea. If the mods ban the account, many customers will miss out on updates, and they haven't been properly informed. The majority of customers haven't received any updates because no official email has been sent, and I'm sure many are still unaware of what's happening. The only place they're discussing it is on Discord and on this forum. But obviously, not every customer is there on Discord.

    A trustworthy and professional company first officially emails their customers rather taking part in conversation on a third-party forum. Why you still hiding that the owners have changed OR are they not officially yet? I've never seen any web host here hiding from their customers about change of ownership as its the most important part of business. Just change in name of the person who replies to customers support tickets or who handles the forum profile is nowhere important. First goes the email in customer's inbox and then comes the forum post.

    Yeah. Ironically, if Lewis had done the sensible thing and run Veloxmedia as a company from the outset, a change of ownership doesn't need any fanfare, because the company would in theory carry on exactly as before. Running stuff as a sole trader is the most idiotic thing you can do unless you are a tradesman dealing with occasional infrequent jobs, never want to employ anyone to help and never want to pass on your business to someone else.

    Is it @MaxTakeba ?

  • @VeloxMedia said: ITS BEEN 3 DAYS!!! ITS CHRISTMAS!!!

    I love the way they streamline things. Its incredible that there are still unanswered questions and this man is refusing to answer properly. Still playing with serious matters.
    Im really grateful that ive ditched VeloxMedia in the perfect time.
    Furthermore, Ill say that deleting my data (which i dont know if it will be completely deleted, there may be backups) will not solve everyones problem!

    You can call IRS they will be happy to help you, but avoid calling during peak hours.
    Also surprisingly more and more forms can be filled online.

    You must have great law firms and accounting to get it all done same day then filed. I didn't even know the state can process same day
