They keep off-site backups.
You sure about that? Their site says different.
Regardless, a provider's backup shouldn't be relied upon, ever. If you think that's sufficient....well I look forward to your thread complaining about data loss.
they used to: https://clientarea.ramnode.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=9 but not any longer
Relying on provider backups is stupid as foop anyway.

@mikho: What is a "Super Moderator" by the way? Like a Moderator, just more super?
Obviously you know this, but I didn't.
moderator = moderates a specific forum(s) he is assigned to
super moderator = moderates all forums, whether he is assigned to them or not
administrator = moderates all forums and can do administrative tasks within the vbulletin admin control panel, as well as the one who assigns who the mods and super mods will be

This is vanilla, but I guess we can expect "sub moderators"?

I'm sure the details will be public soon anyways.
There are changes happening soon (I hope), one of the changes is giving the moderators different security settings.
A "super moderator" is no different then a moderator was before. New moderators will start with less privileges and then it is possible to "work their way up". My suggestion was that we should call them banter bait but that wasn't accepted.
Oh man, well, I'm not up to date on the hosting world, lol.
Yes, lol indeed.
you should have external backup , i use rackspace
It's hard to avoid knowing about CVPS when it comes to the virtual hosting industry; I had known about CVPS for /years/ before I found LET, posting here just makes you look incompetent and silly. See attached articles.

Well throwing about quotes like these does not mean they are right, neither does it make you look anything other than a tit.
You can indeed pay a little and get a lot with high quality. It depends on who you choose. I have several very cheap services that I use for testing that have over delivered based on cost, service and performance. And that is based on more than a years service.
I actually used them about two years ago, I didn't have much of a problem with them. This is pretty much news to me, or possible because I never really knew much about backing up my servers two years ago. Hopefully they get things right, do they not offer quick backups?
Yep, been a while since we stopped (and emailed everyone at the time). We plan to reinstate some form of backup options at some point.
SoonTM
@BensDaMan and the majority of you sound dumb. You can sit here and tell me its already known about CVPS which might be the case and I am wrong for making a review about CVPS. This is a review website is it not? I made a review based on my personal experiences with them. This stops them from saying they corrected their issues from the past and now are a good quality provider, correct? Or is LET more about letting trolls and flamers come together to bash their users and providers?
@everyone who keeps talking about backups. I have backups, my data is safe. It's not about backing up my data. It's about my time involved with setting up all my services, its about restoring all the virtual servers, its about all the down time. Eff a backup!
I always get a kick out of these guys threatening to sue or whatever over a $10 a month VPS....lol. I'm sure they are quaking in their boots over that threat.
Nothing new here, they even sell your customer data (IntenseNode for example).
100% agree. I just bought BuyVM several hours ago and rebooting and getting live updates of my ram/bandwidth/and cpu power every other 2 seconds in their control panel is amazing. Nonetheless getting to play around within a Xeon cpu is not bad either. (I only get 1 virtual core, but it's whatever) I paid $1.53 and more than happy.
First off, thank you for your review! It is very insightful to see that even though there has been many attempts by chris stating that his company is now "better" reviews like this prove him wrong.
The rest of the idiots bickering at you are doing this because they have heard it a thousand times. Plus what harm is in acting like a bunch of a--holes to someone they don't even know over the internet. They probably even think it is a sport.
Continuing... I have long thought it best for this community to ban CVPS, but this forum and its staff are paid for by ColoCrossing, whom hosts CVPS. As such former admins of this forum "ahem" like to insult any criticism of CC.
Finally,
Hello gorgeous.
Ooh quotes still broken....
Anyways how you been?
Same as ever, swearing at newbies here, terrorising providers there....to what do we owe this rare pleasure?
Got a VPS that acts as a VPN at their New Jersey location, it has been having some issues lately.
Sounds like fun! You should add some "acting like a dominatrix" to your skills as well on LET
That was meant as a joke but I seen the humor was going to not be understood so i quickly removed it. Plus I'm sure in their TOS and Agreements(that I didn't bother to read) there is probably a clause that would protect them from such things anyway.
@joodle here is a screenshot from yesterday despite the fact that they keep telling me they are suspending the abusing VM's.
