Yes that is why I am asking as there is nothing to pay for but i'm wondering if there's people that actually think that HS will ever get back online and are still paying their monthly bills.
I am just updating my oradea VM which now works.
Debian 10, making it 11.
His PayPal account is probably locked so is not like he'd be getting the money anyway
Wow! You have an active VPS with HostSolutions. You must be so lucky! Many people here have lots of credits, customers for many years, and they can't even dream of an active VPS, but you have one! You're just awesome! Congratulations!
As I have said, I have bought a few credits just to have a dog in the fight and see how things go from inside.
Without this, the drama is just not the same.
well I've already charged back refound but credits still remain. can i sell them? or whats available to order now?
still have a 2680v4 NVMe running with a hopeless 100mbit, not sure what to do with it
There is nothing to order, or if you manage to order, it will be down anyway. So it's best to keep it at this point.
Hold it. Don't let it go. If it still works, you're lucky. Don't worry, be happy.
its a bad breakup to me, holding on to the thought that she'd eventually return. well at least i got my netflix subscription back!
In real life, it's all about compromises, all for the notion of family; it's similar to a lifetime contract, which is awesome and provides high satisfaction at start, but slowly becomes a huge problem as time passes throughout life.
However, in this analogy you can look for multiple other women until "she" comes back, because she won't be jealous. How could she be when you loved her so much.
say no more
to the moon!! 🚀🚀🚀
To the providers on here: Wouldn't it be possible to announce IPs internally only so that you could still SSH into your vps from within the network?
I guess the underlying vps is still online, just the IP is gone.
I am not sure about 100 mbit. debian update to 11 took about 3 min including installing.
I will do some tests later now going to bed.
Seems to be working pretty good in spite of the 0.2% st. It did jump in cpu usage when i was taking a screenshot over x2go.

So people might essentially have subscriptions giving PayPal money?
I wonder how easy it would be to try claim that back whether or not an account gets unlocked.
Very unlikely paypal will unlock his account ever. It is in deep negative and business with them is over.
So @cociu didn't pay the bills from Terrahost?> @LTniger said:
@Calin will take the payments for him don't worry
FWIW: I'm surprised and amazed by @Maounique succeeding to upgrade Debian 10 to 11 within minutes on an Oradea (it was Oradea, wasn't it?) VPS.
So I quickly ran a network test on an Oradea E5-26xx v4 NVMe VPS. Result: 19 out of 20 targets failed. Only DE, Fra (core-backbone.com) succeeded with a download speed of about 55 Mb/s.
On a side note, establishing a SSH session was slightly faster than some days ago, but still very significantly slower than some months ago when HS worked normally (and with Telia).
Re "we [HostSolutions] will not die" I have serious doubts. Yes, maybe @cociu might succeed to get HS back into the old (pre-Telia) state, but I strongly doubt that they'd find/keep enough customers to make HS financially viable again, let alone profitable.
The one factor HS could bet on is customers who don't mind a low (say, in the 95% - 98% range) availability and a slow network if only the price is super-low - but as I demonstrated in the "romanian shootout" thread there are other options, especially @VirMach and @hosthatch both of which are way better and more reliable plus they aren't psychos.
So, IMO HostSolutions is dying. They would have had a chance but @cociu himself killed it by going fully psycho.
But they are targeting a different audience of customers.
I guess both wouldn't be happy with some/most of HS' customers (and vice versa).
Maybe. But the question is the customers perspective and most of HS' customers are very price sensitive.
As for the "DMCA ignored" crowd you are highly likely right but they'll find alternatives too plus having (largely) only those customers incurs a price too, e.g. in terms of reputation. But yes, that clientele might turn out to be @cociu's life vest.
AFAIC I could (and would) have forgiven his completely f_cking up technically, but I do not and will never forgive his totally ignoring his customers, twice(!), making completely empty promises ("monday" (TM)), not really refunding his victims, and generally being psycho.
This was my last Monday. After a few months of failure, lack of communication in tickets or announcements, refunding with disrespect in credits, and now people spent remaining credits for another downtime in Norway (not Terrahost fault), I quit hoping for a comeback. HostSolutions has become a scam; it was not, but it clearly is now. This was my last Monday of hope for me.
Bad technical decisions can be forgiven because cheap technicians are usually really bad; but all this combined with lack of communication for more than 3 months can no more be forgiven by me.
simply going.
and Norway 89.45.46.x is back !!!
No downtime....
IP announcement is now active. No downtime yes.
Same here, Norway storage VPS is back up, uptime currently 25 days.
I heard an unconfirmed rumor that @cociu was attacked by the chinese mjjs (homosexual militia) from china, currently living in taliban-occupied afghanistan.
My 3 Norway servers are also back up
Norway: Up down up down up down ...
It's the butterfly effect from @yoursunny 's push-ups.
Gravitational waves too.
And Norway has gone again
89.45.46.0/24
Mods, please close this thread. It stinks like rotten dead corpse emiting gas. Borta is long gone and better be forget it.
