Will you still change the ips again?
Sounds like it, change now to CC, change later to ARIN. I would search for a new provider, too much work.
time to switch when your provider cant keep track of bills they need to pay.
Instant Payment is an option when you have your bank and card attached (although it depends on a variety of statistics and your history according to Paypal). I make instant payments through Paypal daily and it's withdrawn from my bank account on the 2nd day.
Yes, but it'll be much more organized.
I mean, you got 5 emails plus a manual bump from me on skype. Initial invoice creation on 4/21, reminder 1 on 4/29, reminder two on 5/02, reminder three on 05/03, reminder four on 05/04 and my reminder via skype on the 5th. Your due date has been the same for months as well.
I take responsibility, but those were the days we were moving her to hospice, so those were literally days I was out.
Changing an A record or two is too much work? Time to stop editing those zones files by hand.
Why would you change it at all? You can EXPECT your provider to be stable enough to keep it's IPs. Simple as that. If not you should avoid them entirely.
I agree. But that's different reasoning than your "too much work" argument
maybe "too much work" = "work that is not necessary/required"
If he didn't have enough money to pay a 1 1/2 month overdue invoice because a client didn't pay, I feel bad for BoltVM customers.
I think it might be more because the clients only pay $18/year
But he spends more money than people here :

Does he though? He posted in a thread where the topic of conversation is how much you spend on hosting and then ridiculed somebody for asking how much he spends on hosting.
Clients will just have to hope that moving forward there won't be anymore of these distractions and bumps.
I'm tired of switching host.
There are many known good hosts out there. DO, Vultr, Ramnode, BuyVM, Wable. You dont need to take risks by buying shit anymore, nobody does!
Wise words, deaf on LET ears.
I know
Just thought I would chime in for others reading.
@JoeMerit I disagree. DigitalOcean, Vultr, Ramnode, BuyVM, Wable are really good and well known but BoltVM is very good too and offers better performance for half the price (or less). I have been a customer at BoltVM for 8 months and this is the very first time a problem occurs. I'm not minimizing it because it's really annoying but you have to look at the whole figure.
It might be the first issue but it's not just an unavoidable technical issue which everyone could accept, it's not paying bills, totally different. When did you hear of Incero, DO, Ramnode etc not paying theirs?
Aside from that I am not convinced the performance exceeds that of those providers listed.
@Lee I don't care about the nature of the issue: downtime is downtime, whatever the reason.
For the performance, that depends how you measure it, what plan you have and how you use it. But if you take the price into account, that's true (at least for me).
Yesterday i had 2 IP's i could not connect with any on these IP's to my VPS.
Today the old IP is gone and i reach some Server in ColoCrossing which is running Apache2 with the new ip.
So the VPS is still down, and i cant create a Ticket. He just broke with 28Hours the EDIS record which i had before.
mine too, never installed apache -_- cant even apt-get update ;p
just one of my vps, others is good
Well, you don't really know if it's shit or not until you buy it. Unless you take advice from assholes. They know about shit.
You've no case to argue here. A change of IP with 12 hours notice is shit service. End of matter.
For $18/year I try to adjust my expectations. It caused me zero downtime, was an inconvenience at most, so end of matter.
This.
An IP is a basic fundamental. They don't come in varying qualities, an IP is an IP. There is no good reason for changing a customers IP with just 12 hours notice.
Skylar has told us here that Steven's invoice was overdue by ~45 days. Another 12 hours and we'd be looking at a situation where IPs were pulled before a new arrangement could be made.
