PSA: A bunch of LEB hosts deadpooling ArkaHosting, SupremeVPS, UMaxHosting, Hosting73, HostBRZ, Ku

Today, a whole bunch of LEB hosts sent out an email similar to this:

Dear Customer,

Over the past few months we have been met with many challenges within the hosting business. Some that have not been overcome.

As result of this we will be closing our doors.  We will be shutting down this Monday 12/9/2019.  We are taking this time to let our customers know so that they may backup and retrieve all of their data before then.

We deeply apologize for this inconvenience.

Thank You.

EDIT: Thanks for your contributions everyone! It's important people are aware of this so they can take action. Regardless of whether we all know the above are shit anyway, there are many of our new friends who have fallen victim and we are in a position to help them find something much better, right here within our awesome community.

    Doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's a tiny group of people rotating shell companies to milk money out of fools.

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    They had the decency of lasting around 6 months before.

    I guess that no longer matters. Not surprising, given the state of things as of late.

  • EdmondEdmond Member

    While it was 100% totally expected from them, still have to give them credit for not disappearing suddenly without chance to recover your data.

    At least they didn't deadpool overnight and am giving people until Monday to pull everything off their VPSs..

  • saibalsaibal Member

    The question is how soon would they be back and under what name?

    This is a very good point, it has given me time to alert the people who are on my free shitty shithost experiment to backup their miners and spam scripts lol

    I am a simple man. I see a company posting 'specials' on LEB, I fucking RUN!

    HostedSimply

    Called it back when HiFormance deadpooled :tongue:

    You mean that 4 GB RAM and 120 GB disk for $25/year isn't sustainable?!?! No way

    Maybe it would be easier to post the names of any companies featured on LEB in the last year that aren't going under.

    Honeslty i think everyone here should report colocrossing to the ftc at the very least, if not the irs for probable tax evasion.

    Yes.

    But know that @jbiloh and @cvps_chris had no idea that was the case. Promise.

    Yeah. ColonCrossing. That seems too be a real thing, unlike IPv6 - http://thebodyvr.com/colon-crossing/

    t0ny0 said: None of the LEB crap affects me, aside from learning to never ever ever EVER EVER trust a host that provides services by ColoCrossing.

    Why is that?

    All these hosts are deadpooling within three days of announcing they are shutting down. 17 out of 18 of these hosts were featured on LEB within the past 2 months offering yearly contracted services. I guarantee no one is getting refunds from this (aside from charging back, which I suggest everyone starts considering right about now). Let me know if you're still having any issues seeing why no one trusts LEB/CC.
