Virtvm aka SliceHosting has deadpooled (promoted on LowEndBox two months ago)

CybrCybr Member
in General

Promoted on LowEndBox in September: https://lowendbox.com/blog/virtvm-crazy-wonderful-prices-in-frankfurt-germany-12gb-ram-for-3-99-month/

The server I got from them to lasted much longer than expected, though the node was down for 2 weeks straight at the beginning of this month, then support stopped responding to tickets weeks ago, and their panel went down sometime in the last week.

    We regret that many continue to fall for this type of advertising; sometimes cheap is expensive and these plans were not profitable.

    Several German providers offer comparable deals to those so it's borderline believable. I guess you need to have much larger scale and other products to keep it profitable. For marketing purposes it somehow works I guess.

    Yes, I can confirm they deadpooled and used their customers to pay their services they had with us.

    I asked ChatGPT what could this statement possibly mean:

    This statement suggests that a company went "deadpool"—a term often used informally to mean they went out of business, usually in a sudden or dramatic way. The phrase implies that before closing, the company used funds received from their customers to cover their outstanding debts or obligations, including payments to the recipient's organization ("us" in this case).

    Essentially, the company may have prioritized short-term survival or debt settlement with resources that should have been allocated to delivering services or goods to their customers. This could imply unethical or desperate behavior on the part of the company before its closure.

    Still don't understand, especially the last part.

    Looks like intended fraud. Offering yearly/two-years/three-years plan with huge discount, take money and run away. Few thousands dollars worth their time.

    Pretty crazy how often these "featured" hosts end up the same way.

    May be a "joined" ventured "featured", or happening unknown to the publisher. Most buy Dedicated from cheaper data center, oversell, as many people idle the servers, the abusers got banned earlier or throttled to accommodate more players. At least I have fooled 3 times, with smaller config VPSes, about net loss of 36 USD all together. Sometimes these frauds, don't pay data centers for few months, Data center cancel the contracts, take back Dedicated servers assigned.

    Interestingly the cheap Germans have mostly monthly prepaid plans. Which means they won't run away with much money but also they can shut down anytime if they don't have enough income.

    Slicehosting just closed their business, they are scammers

    They sold a dedicated server to a customer in India and asked this customer to pay our invoice in order for them to deliver the dedicated server to the customer.

    The customer of Slicehosting raised a PayPal case three days ago where he stated:

    "
    I paid for a dedicated server to slicehosting guys, they never delivered it to me and scammed by giving a vps. i asked for refund and they said they will do in a few weeks but today i got email that hosting is closing now. i need my refund
    "

    We lost this case and the customer got his money back - we'll never use PayPal again and won't pay the outstanding amount.

    But I don't really believe this story, I believe this "customer" is Mikeeee himself.

    Apparently Mikeeee is known for charging back his hosts and then moving his clients servers to the next provider, so wouldn't surprise me at all.

    LEB promoted host = scam like 90% of the time, LEB is still a really useful resource since it lists all the hosting providers you should avoid.

    I know the LEB "Official number" says only ~5% in the entirety of LET have deadpooled - but there's just no way. The list I had seen was 25+ providers (whereas the LEB article had <10)

    His name is not mike it is Shivang S

    I believe I warned the community regarding this lad a few weeks or months ago as I have had history with him
