Dear Customer,

As part of our ongoing strategic transition announced earlier this month, HostSlick will officially discontinue all Shared Hosting and VPS services at the end of their respective billing periods.

You can read our previous announcements here:

https://hostslick.de/clients/announcements/93/HostSlick-Strategic-Update-Full-Focus-on-Dedicated-and-Bare-Metal.html

What does this mean?
Existing Shared Hosting and VPS services will continue operating normally until the end of their active billing cycle
Renewals for these services will no longer be available
Dedicated Servers and Bare-Metal services remain fully available and are now our primary focus
This strategic shift allows us to focus entirely on high-performance infrastructure, bandwidth-intensive workloads, and enterprise-grade dedicated solutions.

Got the same email and just read this bit:

"Existing Shared Hosting and VPS services will continue operating normally until the end of their active billing cycle"

Operating normally? Where? It's down and no reply to tickets.

PS: anyone noticed the switch of domain extension from .com to .de?

haha are those alternative providers "trusted friends and supporters" giving discounts all HostSlick "100 dedis bro" customers?

Lesson learned: Beware Black Friday deals. If it sound good, it might be too good...
(lets say I'm not overly happy with the deals I scored from two different providers back then)

Those with dedicated servers might want to save their data and cancel. I assume others have already transferred away.

Anyone no longer able to log in to the Client Area?

I just get Login Details Incorrect. Please try again.

The VPS is still up and running (for now at least).

Haven't even got a reply.

I think Hostslick is deadpooled and rebranded into other names HostCay etc.

Earlier the ip address ping came online for my 3TB box. I thought after 4w 3d 1hr 41min of downtime my VPS came back online, but no I still couldn't start it. Maybe the IP just gets assigned to some other servers. I'm not even mad I'm just impressed.
