What happened with AlienVPS?
Some month ago I needed to host some projects so i searched for a cheap vps and found an ad on LowEndBox about AlienVPS. They did some shady stuff but the service was working fine so I didn't bother much. But today the VPS I have went offline, I can't access their website/user panel and I can't contact them in any way.
I'm fucked?

Their NS aren't responding, so pulling NS from the TLD:
Both ns1 and ns2 are on 104.149.156.123 so no redundancy, easy outage. Looks like the A record for the site is on the same IP too, even better. Now look at the shady ass looking websites hosted on the same IP: https://bgp.he.net/ip/104.149.156.123#_dns
IP hasn't fallen off routing table, can still head toward it over GTT right now from my SSH gateway box (OVH). But it's part of Psychz active ranges so no reason for it's announcement to have been specific to AlienVPS anyway.
If it’s the same AlienVPS I remember, they were fucking shit,.if that’s the case, youre fucked, brother.
They’re alien to providing good hosting services.

Wow, what gave it away? All he did was pretend to be some old host from the past with same name, use pirated whmcs & cpanel, have fake company details, defend the actions and do a rage quit when called out to start his own forum.
aliens left earth
I didnt know about that until today.
What I found shady is that they reduced the specifications of my vps manually. Something wasnt woking propertly so I tried multiple things until I found it.
Anal probing began.
