Do you work with them?!
and you do not notice any changes? !?
Is this TOS even legal to provide service like this and delete customers' data & take the server down for over 48 hours !!
So, if you think this is fair, I hope the same thing happens to you somehow so you taste how it feels like.
Everybody was Kung Flu Fightin', data deletin' as fast as lightnin!
So to catch up:
What’s next for this thread? They use mind control to keep their customers happy and this one just happened to be wearing tin foil?
I hear they've been installing 5g towers on their datacenter roof to spread coronavirus
Nah — those towers are just to control the 5G-powered nanobots in our blood (implanted by the US government, of course).
They have no relation with COVID-19 other than the nanobots making people dumber so they think they’re being tricked so they think that they have COVID-19 so they go outside to defy the orders given by the government and eventually they get the virus they were trying to avoid but weren’t able to because indirectly of the 6G nanobots.
Side note: that hurt to write
@Go4Mart
Actually their TOS is quite normal and their offer to extend your service period for 7 days is even (very slightly, but still) on the better side of possible ways to deal with customers. Well noted, I do not think that BudgetNode is a good provider; actually I think one should stay away from them - but they are certainly not the worst provider.
And No, it's not "everyone's fault" but mainly yours. Simple reason: If you use some external service(s) for your business operations then it's YOUR job to be well prepared and to for example always have up-to-date backups, to have spare system(s) that can take over from a failing system, etc.
Because, unless you have a quite special SLA in writing and signed , you do have to assume that an external service may be interrupted and/or fail.
Btw., how would you like it if some of your customers publicly called you a liar, fraudulent, and whatnot and also told such BS to your payment processor/bank/paypal?
Frankly, I agree that you should be "blacklisted" on fraudcheck and the likes because YOU acted utterly irresponsibly and emotionally even now that they repaired the problem and threw in a free week. Being at it, I'd also strongly suggest that you stay away from running a business because you evidently and provably care even much less about your customers than BudgetNode cares about theirs.
Sorry, but my opinion if you have for you IMPORTANT/BUSINESS site where you earn (more) money (or can loss more money due from service failure) as you claims, is your stupidity (or/and stinginess) host it on 30$ yearly lowend (and expect care, support and stability of suitable more expansive services), and then here crying.
And concrete @ budgetnode, i have experiences a few years back with any VPSes running on their nodes, what i remember all was approx reasonable prices (performance, uptime, support - sure was not best and smartest/skilled what i seen but was replying). If they does not reply these days maybe they can be affected with shits of these days (covid, social unrest, economic affect of mentioned etc.)
the same - in first line your another fail and disorder: if you have important sites (for you), you should do own regularly (remote offsite & offprovider) backups independently on declared provider's backups and do not rely only for them.
I still remember as Hostdoc scammers lost all my data when moved VPS from France OVH to UK OVH server.. But idiot was in first line me because i was believing and rely on them only as good and reliable provider when good performance confused me in opinion about his (and underestimated daily backups, i had only full backup from before 30 days, so lost newest data)
The PMS is real with this one.
Buddy I think you forgot to switch accounts.
Why would I switch accounts?
do u have on the mind this PMS member/expert?
@deank ?
Since you mentioned, here let me do the tagging @deank
You may liaise with him directly should you have any concerns or doubts
apologies i forgot add tag now is there (edited) thanks
Around 24 hours of downtime = I'll stay with same host. Let them rectify the issue. Will also ask them to move to another node or location.
More than 24 hours of downtime (unplanned) = Move to new host IF that's my money site and I'm loosing $$$ in a day.
Update by email from them
So according to them, all data has been lost !! and they rest it, and install it as new empty!!
You didn't summarize that email in the least bit.
Please use providers that can speak your native language to prevent further communication issues.
Just move on, already. If you think you're having a bad week, BudgetNode is having a worse one.
I lost millions of tadpoles reading this thread
No. That’s not what this email says.
they said in the previous email which I posted as well.
oh, yeah that's what actually happened and I did post the email as well.
Do not leave your business to read this email you got the point that budgetnode is bad and you should have a backup server if you using any service, so I think we learn something from this. otherwise, if you didn't learn something reading this, then you are wasting your time.

Emmm, https://clients.budgetnode.com/clientarea.php showing 'Account Suspended ', seems BudgetNode do have some troubles.
Summoning @deank to this conversation..
The end is neigh.
Do not say I never told you so, everyone still in budgetnode then you are risking a loss of your data anytime.
My VM with them is still up and running, and I can access the client area without an issue..
As a matter of fact - my renewal payment just went through like 5 mins ago. So meh, Ill ride it till that horse dies :-)
P.S. - @Ishaq - you mind shedding some light on the recent events sir?
Messi is leaving Barca.
So, of course, the end is here.
RIP Barca.
