    The good news is I have access to all the systems and everything is still up and running. The bad news is everyone's agreements/contracts/money is with Lewis and he's gone. He setup tons and tons of packages so there's a lot of stuff to dig into still so bear with me for a bit as I work to find a solution moving forward.

    He's still helping us with transferring access and being helpful to keep things online and operational. Lets keep it that way

  • Very interesting plot twist.

    Guys, chargeback if you can / open disputes before you cannot do it anymore, even if it will be okay, that can be handled afterwards!

    If you don't agree with how it went, also consider making use of your data protection right.

    Hey everyone!! Eric here. Lewis is gone and just handed me the keys to everything. I just got access to the DNS and email and all that good stuff so have been working on moving some things over to ensure we don't lose any communication. We don't have the domain transferred yet unfortunately.

    It might be better to start by introducing yourself and your company at least to provide some context for what's going on.

    Update: FWIW, their client panel works again.

    Positive: that incident suggests that someone there takes care of their indrastructure.

    Negative: Still no statement from them, be it @VeloxMedia or be it Benthost.

    Any updates on the discord?

    Idk, I don't follow that

    Thanks for finally talking to us.

    But: Eric who? From what company? Is @VeloxMedia's operations and contracts finally and bindingly in (which?) companies control?

    Would you please inform us clearly and, preferably fully, about the current state?!.

    Was this a business acquisition, or did he transfer everything to you?

  • What I don't understand is why other companies attempt to take over this kind of disaster.

    Can we somehow keep track and prevent Lewis from coming back to LET with another hosting company next year?? How many times he can runaway with this.

    Can you give a bit more detail please? Some of us have paid for 3yr, and maybe longer, plans.

    Would be good to know if my £180 is down the shitter 💩

    This reads as if you do not intend to honor the contracts for customers moving forward. Please declare your intentions.

    Good luck legally being allowed to use that customer data, if they really going to try and say the contracts are only with Lewis, that's a massive GDPR breach for anyone in the UK, customer data for transferred without warning or notice.

    Also for a small note, the billing email for paypal was [email protected] so the new owner may have to respect those contracts, Because if people start charge backing, its going get them banned on paypal and it'll end up a blacklisted domain

    Not only if they say so. Lewis was the sole trader of VeloxMedia, if the new owner received any data already, which he most likely have, that's already a GDPR breach.

    There are always two people appearing who are actually the same person bebind the scene who seek the way to overcome financial difficulty, scam or get out of bad reputation. I don't think the new(not really) owner keep the original price.

    personally, I think they can try to argue it was poor management about the disclosure if they respect the contracts, as the data would still be consented to via the contract, if they don't respect the contract then they are holding a expensive lawsuit or a bomb.

    Considering the invoices were marked as veloxmedia and not Lewis directly, I don't think it gives Eric a easy way out.

    He simply gave me access to the systems and I'm trying to prevent everything from being shut down. Everything prior to 12/21/25 was Lewis's and everything new from 12/25/2025 will be mine.
