What sarcasm are you talking about exactly?

2. Half of them were due to spam/fraud suspensions. They clearly give a fuck about their IP rep.

They (Alexhost) recycle dirty trash IP ranges abused by past users, reassign them to new customers, then suspend those customers for problems tied to the IPs, for bogus reports or flagged. That’s not normal hosting.

Most of these suspensions are false positives. Worse, they may know the IPs are already poisoned and still use suspensions to squeeze money from victims. They probably knowingly doing this.

Check comparable hosts: same issue? No.

Trustpilot when enough negative reviews repeat the same pattern, it’s usually true.

This alone could be an entire separated thread. Alexhost is a shady host. But I dont have time for that. The current downtime is just the trigger. I'm doing the service for their old customers victims and potential new customers.

For the love of popcorn, please elaborate.

I'm confused.

Are you an affected customer who is upset because a shady provider turned out to be a crappy provider aswell?

Or do you spend your spare time posting about how terrible this provider is, hoping people will read it and think, "Wow, that guy really knows what he is talking about. I'll follow his advice"?

Yeah, those fuckers think the couple cents they save by skipping the paperwork to request new virgin ranges from RIPE will make them rich or something. Total low level scumbags.

Check comparable hosts

Could you give a comparable example? Mivocloud? Trabia?

Yeah, there's 255255255255 IPs in the world, no way someone have to reuse them if not for greed or laziness.

OK, this is a forum where a lot of technical people hang out so blurting out something you just made up will not fly. If you have no idea what you are talking about, for the love of god shut up or you will only prove that you are an idiot.

There are exactly 4,294,967,296 ip's in the world, and over half a billion of those are not useable. IANA, the global allocator of ip addresses, officially assigned their last ip space in February 2011.
We, as in the entire world, have been reusing ip's for the last 20 or 30 years.

zed

to be fair i don't think he was giving a number, he was saying [0-255].[0-255].[0-255].[0-255].

also don't be racist against ip6 addresses sir.

Seems like someone didn't get the joke :c
