Respect is earned, not required. If a provider goes silent on a two week outage for hundreds or thousands of their customers, why should anyone respect that provider?
I am happy to run a moral based business - Once someone pays me extra for that.
I make it very clear that i operate based on laws:
Once i touch selectively what customers do i open pandoras box as I HAVE TO JUDGE. I am not a judge. I am an infrastructure provider.
I wish you good luck. Again: I do not disclose who i work for/what i own, i have no legal or rule obligation to do so. I don't care about you or other single customers either; i care about the bigger picture (=profit).
Business is not a game. It is war. All your competition are your enemies. Sometimes you make friends (the enemies of your enemies) but this is also short lasting.
Respect is useless. Service quality matters. I do not respect my nazi customers, at all. But they pay, on time, for services rendered exactly as described.
You also all forget that i run 2-3 ventures in one sale - I get money for hosting Nazi site X, then i get DDoS traffic for my other business to mitigate/write new rules that allow me to sell to others better and ultimately word of mouth for more customers from all.
Every second i waste on thinking what they host/do is wasted as it is not profit, in any way.
Aye good point, I didn't word what I meant well -- updated now.
This has been a very interesting thread indeed. There's obviously a diverse range of people in this thread opining on cociu's recent involucation and the data is fascinating.
I agree. However, it's easy to give notions of respect after the business has flourished and has clients. A provider would not do this before, when they enter the market. This is the proof of people changing and not caring (disrespect). I do not want to be part of their customers when respect is thrown out the window.
What the fuck are @default and @dahartigan on about anyway? They want to make discounts/switcher promos illegal? Good luck with that.
I've been brutally critical of hosts who should know better on WHT long before I became a host rep, and continued to do so afterwards.
@cociu has been around long enough to know better. There's no excusing the lack of communication.
Thank you again.
Businesses are here to increase their customer base. They are not personal mentors to other business owners to help them make a profit.
Now, certainly businesses do exist to provide value to others, but this is through the service offered, not by handholding other businesses on their way to profitability.
True. And I don't care about @cociu - to me now it's about other providers who should respect members of this community and other providers. It is no longer related to @cociu service in my eyes. He is no longer a provider, case closed on LET.
Will you offer as a business some fire extinguishers as a giveaway for each order when OVH DC was in a fire?
Interesting to know how far business might go lol.
I don't like to involucrate anything to the point of illegality, that's just not cool, especially something awesome like a switcher promo or a discount.
I think I have become involucrated, unless I'm involucrating this entire involucration.
It's about switcher at the expense of other. And it's not about the legal aspect, it's about simple respect on LET.
But now it's set. It's allowed. Mods have spoken. We will see what future brings regarding this allowed behavior. This same card can also be played by summer hosts who could provide 3x service, for same money, if person leaves other "top provider" of LET. Maybe this is futuristic popcorn drama in my imagination, so I must be on PMS now.
Case is closed once his customers are online or get refunds. Until then its an exit scam. Nothing else.
Congrats on your first post

Based on some of the comments here HS isnt the only provider to avoid 🤣
dis thread = sauce. a very involucrating experience!
guys STOP im paying more money for popcorn than the monthly cost of my vps - all 3 combined..
Found this announcement dated May 12
https://secure.hostsolutions.ro/index.php/announcements/33/Storage-Downtime-.html
That was quite sometime ago
That was only dated May 12th but he probably put that in later because that announcement didn't exist on the 15th at least.
Yeap, defo added later than May 12. It wasn't there last time I checked (on May 22 or so)
Cheeky innit?
time traveling sisters
Add it to the list of lies that @cociu keeps telling us.
But the usual fanboys will be out of the woodwork any moment now to tell us how we shouldn't call out a provider.
Yeah, poor @cociu is the Rodney King of LET. It's so unjust.
Including @cociu or are you going to continue to portray him as the victim here?
So if a provider screws their customers, another provider is not allowed to comment on that...interesting logic. I guess providers give up some of their freedoms once they get the tag? Really?
You're acting like something has changed, and it has not. Anyone can comment on another's poor business practices, unethical conduct, and scams. Why would you want it to be anything different?
What are you talking about? This isn't some grand fraternity where all pledge silence. What you're looking for is for all providers to swear that no matter how badly one of them acts, they will back each other and refrain from all comments. You really want a secret society of providers? All providers are to close ranks and defend the brotherhood? Are you trying to turn LET into WHT?
"Without respect" - you're talking like this is the prison yard. Your definition of "respect" is irrational.
So no matter what a provider does, every other provider must be silent?
Involucration.
Available for HS customers.
Thank you @raindog308 - I took some notes. Hope you won't mind me bookmarking this, for future drama reference, just in case summer hosts will make special offers for customers who are expressly cancelling their services with current LET providers (on screenshots) to benefit of new offers, like it happened here.
Please note I am not defending @cociu - nor do I portray anything. I just love a popcorn drama, and it seems there will be plenty in future.
Redating the announcement... oh my gosh. please run.
