ChicagoVPS is a terrible company.

Stallion 1.
It had the exact (old) SolusVM layout, exactly the same quirks (like the bad IPv6 allocations), and also some of the bugs SolusVM has/had.
There is an e-mail going around (don't know whether it's genuine) that SolusVM is aware of it and was looking into taking action. The obstacle was the fact that BuyVM is a US or Canadian entity and SolusVM a UK one.
The reason I mentioned this is as follows: a guy from vpsBoard has been poking around with SolusVM to see if Chris has a license. He sent SolusVM an e-mail (again, don't know whether it's genuine) and SolusVM responded that there's no license in the name of 'ChicagoVPS'. Apparently, that is proof that ChicagoVPS uses a nulled version of SolusVM. The fact that it may very well be in the name of NWNX didn't impress anyone.
I don't like it that one host is treated so badly while the other, who may be doing worse things than that one host, is given a free pass by everybody. If we're going to accuse people of using a nulled SolusVM, I'd start with the one where there's at least something to support the theory that we've all been able to see with our own eyes.
Owch, 10-30.
Thanks for the explanation, I've seen the screenshots re the complaint to Solus about Stallion (and the unnecessarily redacted dates which instantly cast suspicion on the relevance ), but was unaware of the CVPS thing.
In all honesty, I was of the opinion that both companies are far too big for Solus to allow them to get away with using a nulled version of their software, hence why I called the Toad guy on it.
I'd expect this of the forum nutters, but not of you mate. Didn't think you were that kind of guy.
I also think the days of BuyVM getting a 'free pass' (not that I think they did, but they did have a hell of a cheerleading squad) are long gone now. If there was evidence of them doing something wrong, they'd get called on it now.
Yep. Like I said, I think all screenshots (no matter which theory they support for which company), should be taken with a big grain of salt.
I agree with you here.
I have to admit: is was out before I knew it. Then again, it was meant jokingly and I didn't want to drag everything up. A case of "it sounded better in my head". Which is why I probably shouldn't have posted it, as it didn't have the intended effect (just a nudge, a wink) and I accidentally created mini-drama.
I was honestly not trying to bash BuyVM. So: my apologies, because it turned out somewhat like that. I'll now give myself a kick in the nuts as a punishment. And if Spirit reads this, he's probably going to tell me off as well.
When someone makes allegations about your company, the proper thing to do is refute these allegations by proving that they are wrong. ChicagoVPS hasn't done this, so one can assume that said allegations are indeed TRUE!! It's only a matter of time until we find the freelancer they hired to do the custom work to integrate modulegarden with NULLED SolusVM!!
@mpkossen I love how the LET Rules and Guidelines only states that using a nulled WHMCS license will get you banned!! When it really should say using ANY NULLED software will result in a BAN!!
I don't love CVPS, but your logic is flawed mate. If a company doesn't refute allegations in an internet forum, it doesn't mean anything.
Go ahead and prove that they're using nulled software. I can't imagine any company would use nulled Solus. They wouldnt be that foolish.
Good god, stop beating the dead horse, this isn't your high school lunch room.
Prove it or stfu
My apologies if I offended you. The latter portion of my comment was not intended to be directed at you. I do feel pity for any customer who has been in the OP's position. I will gladly walk away from a company on the first bad experience and say nothing about it; It's commonly said that people, and I guess in this case, companies, never change.
I understand that your role does not affect your opinion, but who hosts LowEndTalk?
The infamous cluster.
It's no secret anymore, it's ColoCrossing.
Basically, what everyone else said. Chris opening his mouth in defence generally only ever did harm to CVPS rep one way or another, so he's made a smart move by keeping quiet when it comes to baseless accusations such as this.
I would find it fucking hilarious if CVPS (or another of the other big boys come to that) were caught out using nulled WHCMS, but I just can't see it happening personally.
ChicagoVPS sucks. Their dedicated servers are a total scam (they will give you fault hardware, take too long to fix it, then it will still be broken, and they won't refund) and their VPS hosting offers are unreliable at best. They don't respond to support tickets promptly. Avoid this crap company!
Shove off.
You do know that Francisco did respond to these allegations over on vpsboard. Solus did take a look and found nothing and moved on. It was a pissing contest from CVPS to try and hurt Buyvm's image.

So good job on spreading useless lies that were made by your employers sleeping partner.
When can we have @liam back?
Mun
Right... Once you have some real proof, try again.
Fair enough.
My experience has been different, though. I've seem CVPS change and in my personal experience, they have improved. Having said that, I can't guarantee someone not having a bad experience there. Sometimes things just don't work out, no matter how hard someone tries.
LowEndTalk is hosted by ColoCrossing. They own this website and they pay me for managing it (just being transparent here).
comment not even worth it...
Thanks for being honest.
He's always like that
Honestly, my VPS has been rock solid for quite awhile. When I first ordered it, there was downtime sometimes, but as the weeks went by, everything became stable. I restarted my VPS last night, but I had over 49+ days of uptime (ordered in February).

I understand that not everybody has the same experience as others, but I'd like to say it's been pleasant having a server with them.
Fran has been here since day 1 as far as I know, and from what I've heard he runs a pretty tight ship. After the menial accusations of slabbing, I'm not entirely sure I believe anything negative about BuyVM at this point. This seems like a case of genuine defamation.
I was not aware of that response. But does it change anything?
I've responded to the rest of your post in a PM to prevent going on about this here any further.
Because that is how life works, I accuse you of something without any proof and you must be guilty because you did not run to a forum thread and defend yourself.
Screenshots of tickets accurately reflect the level of customer service received. In this case, you may say that CS was provoked. Aggravated acts are much worse than un-aggravated ones in any case, even if the result happens to be the same.
" no refund and immediate termination" then this is also theft on the providers side.
How is that classed as theft? Interested in your logic here.
What have tickets go to do with a nulled solus?
@W1V_Lee - If you run a hosting company and someone states you're running nulled software would you just ignore these claims or refute in order to show that you're a professional company?? oh wait this is ChicagoVPS the word "Professional" doesn't compute.
These allegations about using nulled software can be refuted easily by ChicagoVPS by posting the latest invoice from SolusVM, but these don't exist unfortunately.
@CVPS_Chris - Hurry up and create a new back end so you can refute these claims!!
Let's ask every provider to post their SolusVM invoice so you can feel at peace! /sarcasm
I believe the world works like this: if you accuse someone of something, you make sure you actual proof.
You can't just make accusations and demand proof from the other party just because you are convinced of something.
