I deleted off my local storage in order to get new backups. I had limited space locally
Same. Their Ryzen VPSs gave me more than double the CPU performance that I was getting from other providers at the same price.
They accepted credit card. Pretty easy to dispute and block from future charges.
Seems my Miami Storage servers are also down.
Nope, this is something I called him out for previously. He doesn't accept PayPal so no chargeback.
I genuinely believe you have all been outright scammed.
Atleast it was quick unlike coco
Nope, they stopped accepting PayPal around January I think. They were using Stripe.
I got an stable service since December last year, until now where everything went down. Ryzen 9 5950x with 4gb ram at 5.62usd didn't feel right.
You can also see on the Hetrix page the cpu usage was quite high, so that might explain the slow down.
About the money, I'll try to see if I can issue a chargeback with my bank. If I can't then that's fine, it's just 5 bucks.
Credit card is better though IMO... I usually find a chargeback through the credit card company works better than a PayPal dispute. You usually have 120 days to file a dispute with the bank.
My Saas CRM is still in Hotlineservers,
Oh My data !!!
My client is very angry ,
Heavy losses

Initiate backup restore procedures immediately!
I will never buy any VPS that businesses not support PayPal in the future
That's an excellent idea. If a business doesn't accept PayPal, it doesn't matter what excuse they provide, it's because either their PayPal account has been restricted due to dodgy behavior or they are just plain scammers.
EDIT: Scammer.
hostsolutions 2.0?
ho-stdoc, ho-stsolutions, ho-tlineservers. what do they have in common?
Welp. Things that make me desperate with backups.
To clarify, the servers went down during the backup. I managed to recover a couple client sites and my main business sites so I have a tiny relief. However, the majority of my clients are currently in limbo. What are some ideas for a good disaster recovery plan?
If at any state, you have no backup, you fucked up.
Even if your primary backup server goes shitfest, you should have a backup.
Then get a secondary backup server, on a different network, different provider, even fucking different country or continent, maybe soon a different planet.
You continue this, until you either are bankrupt or are confident enough, that whatever happens, you be prepared.
Then you test it, repeat.
Let some other person test it, repeat.
have one before taking money from clients that rely on you.
Y'all need a new provider. Honestly, there's some awesome deals in my aff garden under $20/year from an actual provider.
Telling people to go from a provider that just deadpooled to a provider that ran the deadpool bonanza called AlphaRacks is probably not much better.
Is this gonna be a mega thread? Like cociu's 100 pages?
FWIW, their aff garden also has links to a provider suffering from large scale involucration.
Depends on which way is @jsg gonna swing on this one :-)
Would stay away from anyone this guy endorses. Probably the only poster on here with a history of supporting the bad apples.
Final nail in the coffin, uptime monitor has been taken down.
Her signature on the other forum is:
"Repped HostDoc and fought for HostSolutions til the last drop of my blood"
My aff garden is actually hosted on a non-involucrated hostsolutions nvme box. I will remove just removed the links to those HS deals though, I forgot I had those there.
You have a good point there, I've made some really shitty choices when it comes to backing certain providers. I've probably got more shitty choices on the horizon too, such is life bruh.
