CaliHop closing down

There's no way to know they didn't, and that an agreement simply didn't work for whatever reason (unless they themselves come forth.)

A good host would inform customers that they have made an agreement with another provider who will contact them after the transaction, and keep the customer updated. It's one thing to close shop but to leave customers with no time frame and no updates is just bad for business.

Eg:

When CubicWebs was closing due to frequent MySQL issues we couldn't resolve (due to happening every week), we contacted customers over a month in advanced and tried to sell the customers, we had 3 companies interested but all backed out for real reasons, tax backdate, partnerships, wanted to continue on their own brand.

Judging from the number of people scrambling, they must have been pretty good sized. Why didn't they sell the customers or at least make arrangements with other providers? Who knows what goes through the mind of the owner of a crumbling business. I saw a press release from 2012 that said they rented space in an AIS colo facility in SD.

Nobody asked that

I was just curious if they rented a couple cabinets or were bigger than that. I had never heard of them before, but yes it is always curious when hosting companies choose to shut down rather than sell their assets.

Probably they tried to sell ,but the plans did not work in their favor and bills were getting bigger.So they just shut everything off

It's a shame. Are there any other lowend* that colo with AIS?

Just co-ask, I'm looking for somebody providing VPS in San D. with AIS bandwidth.

We are currently restoring the virtual servers from backups.

Do you have an update re restoring ipxcore services?

Why would you want this? Nothing special or desirable really. Just find something else and move on in life.

At first I thought location and proximity to customers.

Then I did a traceroute, posted here for laughs.
