Agreed. That's what I think is sad: A lot of people can't separate the service from the service owner. While the behavior of the service owner does heavily impact the effective reliability of the service, a lot of people want to assume that good owner == good service and bad owner == bad service.
Some of the most friendly and trustworthy providers on LET barely know what they're doing, and likewise VeloxMedia could be the most premium provider in existence, but people would argue against that just because of the owner's behavior. Personally, I think the services they provide are higher-end than most, but because of their actions, I can't feel comfortable that my VPS won't be gone tomorrow, which does impact my overall assessment of the service.
There's a lot of nuance that people ignore.
please, lets bite each others' asses off because - veloxmedia..
He released his benchmark app years ago. I tested it on CloudatCost and Oracle and shared results with him.
tl;dr the numbers were wildly inaccurate. Oracle had 25MB/s rate limiting in place and CaC was oversold garbage so it was easy to see retarded numbers that were nonsensical.
He threw a hissy fit and stopped releasing the benchmark app because myself and others questioned the app behaviour. So no, his technical reviews can't be trusted.
He also made up this "web ping" that he thinks is somehow useful.
Don't threaten me with a good time.

My plan at veloxmedia is 15/yr and I confirmed with Lewis last year:

Now they are charging me $45 for the same plan (renewal). I opened a ticket asking about the recurring price and I got this answer:
Is this correct? Can the renewal price be changed after having been previously confirmed?
If they're waiting until the next renewal period to bump the price, I'd say you got lucky.
Actually no, the renewal is right now.
Is the renewal supposed to be now or are they making you renew it early?
The renewal is right now
Then you're still lucky. Some people were told, despite having a 3 year term, that they'd have to pay extra or their VPS would be terminated. Basically an extortion fee. Others were even less lucky and just lost their VPSes with no refund.
Generally, hosts aren't supposed to bump prices on recurring deals, but some hosts do it anyway.
@yoursunny, please update the list
