Prometeus to offload VPS business to Eastern Europe
Hello !
There is something going on for some time at Prometeus. I was always afraid this will come as it was Uncle's fear that sooner or later the low end VPS business will start harming the main corporate one.
After some recent DDoSes, a raid failure and the attempts to deliver a real IaaS cloud kept failing, he decided he lost enough time for this and while it is not making a loss, but a tiny profit, he decided to offload it to someone which will take good care of the current customers and even expand with more services that were requested in the past.
So, my company received a very generous donation in servers and equipment, also Salvatore offered to help with the whole move and setup as a courtesy to the customers that trust and love him
I also promise will take good care of everyone, and I hope I can even improve with DDoS protected servers and special support for Tor Exit nodes.
The current used IP base will be also donated and relocated to Romania.
There are many questions, I am sure, so put up hastily some page which is work in progress, but will try to answer these thigs, in About Us and FAQ sections, as well as in ToS/AUP
I repeat, this does not mean IP change, only route change, the same hardware will go, the move will happen gradually, etc.

DDoS protection in Europe? I will be your first customer!
Good luck
Yes, romania to be more exact.
Time sure is ahead of me over there in Romania
dafuck
can your slogan please be "GO BALLS DEEP AT BALLSVPS!"
@Maounique - will Biz Xen stay in Italy?
Well @Maounique, look forward to seeing how this will grow!
@prometeus, thanks for doing everything! This is definitely a great donation.
Although @Maounique, BallsVPS?
Well, it will probably not stay like that, but wanted to show I am not afraid of raids and will stay firm for the freedom of speech and the right to privacy right up to the limit of the law.
Biz line will move also but will be on dedicated L3 only link. Perhaps some larger customers can request to stay with prometeus, but his regular business is not cheap at all.
Will you be offering Autoboot too?
Happy fools' day :P
Thanks to you. Really I worked hard so far, but it's getting worse and worse for me, so it's time to leave :-(
Waiting for people to read
Could take days.
lol
Italy is one hour behind Romania, correct? 
@prometeus you should wait one hour before you post in this thread! :P
It actually is, but I doubt it's a joke. Or is it?
Ah, it is indeed 1st of april, but this does not happen suddenly, the move will take weeks and and also Salvatore talked about this for months before.
It's a joke I bet.
My VPS has now a Romanian IP, seamless transaction. How did you managed to transfer the uptime to the new VPS?
So your serious, and this is not an April fools joke?
Look at his face. He's deadly serious!
April 1st joke ;-)
It seems ppl have a hard time believing us
Same happened with the overzold offer, just look at the thread...:
http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/8874/overzold-a-true-low-end-box-with-5gb-of-ram-to-celebrate-the-arrival-of-spring/p1
Regarding uptime, we will try to live migrate.
The IPs will be the same, just geo data about them.
Will have BGP session with the DC for IPv4 and tunneled IPv6 (they still dont support it
Once again, this will not mean loading the servers in a truck and hauling them, it will happen gradually, some servers installed, VMs migrated, the freed servers shipped, migrations again of more VMs...
Downtime will be minimal generated only because of the routing changing.
@Maounique - not the best time for such announcements
Huh? It's perfect time for SUCH announcements (in Romania)!
Well, put simply: This is either a joke or I am really, really pissed off. So please let it be a joke, guys.
OK ill play the aprils fools game.
@Maounique when will this be efective? i see the same traceroute for my VPSs.
And yes if its true i wouldnt like it 1 bit.
And now also In italy, so Salvatore can confirm it officially now!
As I said, wont happen overnight.
Also, downtime will be minimal.
Also, the hardware will be the same, more or less.
The only big problem will be the tunneling of ipv6, the DC promised will offer it from lastr summer
I confirm everything, sorry guys
Just confirmed with Uncle Sal (@prometeus) that our VM will be moved within 2 weeks.
I hope it will be also possible to move Rage4 DNS main server from Milan to Romania
I am really concerned now and indeed hope that it is just a joke.
