A half person? Centaur or Minotaur? Do you have a picture?
@DomainBop we're going to have a new website soon, with a more complete about page with a team picture as well. You can just wait for that.
Stick with providers that don't use LET as a helpdesk?
@Voss thank you for your feedback. We are certainly taking some notes (well, not actual notes, but you get the point) as to what we've done wrong about this.
Just saying: That's not how you calculate speed for a multicore CPU :P
3.5Ghz on 4 cores != 14Ghz.
@shovenose vzmigrate is not hard. It's like you don't want your customers to stay with you! There's nothing wrong with moving some customers to BlueVM (well, actually, there is, but we won't get into that here), however there is something wrong when you don't even give your customers the option to stay with you!
Exactly.
It screams that he needed quick cash. So he sold those clients to pay for his US node before it expired.
My god this thread, can someone please close it. If shovenose doesn't want to tell people the full reason for the move that is his business. He set forth and moved his customers and informed them of the move. That being said he did the right thing instead of just closing down the servers.
So staff could you please lock the thread.
Did he?
@luma don't make any assumptions.
@shovenose Then answer the questions people have been asking instead of dodging the issue. Then people would actually know and they would stop speculating. Until then, expect everyone to be making assumptions.
@liam, @chief if you are going to give CVPS the honor of closing f'd threads then please give the courtesy to all threads. As such please close this thread. It is pointless banter and attacks directed at @shovenose.
@Mun strange request from non-thread starter. Come on guy... you're at freakin' lowendtalk.com. It's bad enough what they have done with CVPS threads lately.
What about no talking about hosts here at all? Or maybe talking just when everything seems perfect?
It is not a right to be a part of business decisions just because you are a client of that company.
It is not a matter of how simple or hard the task is, there are probably other factors that this decision is based upon.
I can understand that clients are upset of the situation, they always are when things like this happens (history repeats itself)
Providers that comment are basing their comments on the technical side only.
If shovenose haven't given any other reason then leave it at that.
Guessing is not going to change things.
What clients, most of the people posting are hosts.... or LET commoners with no current vps with said host.
The fact is he made said decision, now make the best of it.
well F*** you too OVH:
Dear Customer,

And just like that the caseload just fell on my lap.
@Rallias actually this is a new development on the problem. Are you currently working on the transfer at BlueVM?
Well, since JJ told me of the problem I've been ferociously coding away at the problem.
Shovenose you are the Cosmo Kramer of webhosting
No, he didn't. He did a less bad thing, but not "the right thing".
And that improves anything how?

Well didnt i told OVH have problems?
Congrats for the new company
First off we don't know is circumstances. He might not have any room in his other location, or simply couldn't handle all those clients in a new location. He might have thought that people bought for the location and since none were close, a move to a different provider might be a better idea.
You all are just bickering, nothing is coming of this thread at all.
@Mun All perfectly plausible and acceptable reasons for doing what was done, but given the obvious avoidance of the question, the quick turnabout in promises made (originally all the BHS customers were told that they could stay in OVH less than a week before the sale), it would seem something else is going on. Not to mention that there's a secondary brand being started up so some of your suggestions seem unlikely.
That said, I do agree that the horse has been flogged to death now, as it's very clear no answers will be forthcoming. I don't agree that the thread should be locked though, as there are possibly other ex-shovehost customers who would like to have their say, and they might as well do it here than in a separate thread.
