I asked Jon of the 500K they are going to do in sales what percentage is cost. He said he had no clue.
(pffff) If I anyone running a 500k/yr business does not know the numbers I don't believe it.
He also told me his cost per GB, the profit range was so low. He was considering Selling the low cost VM clients. (remember he did this with shared hosting)
Oh the story goes on but I have a meeting.
I think we should keep in mind that it's public knowledge @Jack was previously running a HackForums host...
We should also keep in mind that Jon is apparently an unstable pathological liar, so I wouldn't put much stead in his figures unless you've verified them independently.
Fair enough. Just posting what I did find, wanted Jack to explain what was up with it. Seemed a bit odd to see. There is no solid proof he did it, I agree. I talked with him on Skype and he seemed genuinely surprised at what is there. We even poked Nick to see if the time on the node was drifting which would have potentially botched the timestamps which wasn't the case, worth a try at least.
Granted if I was inclined to fake documents, which I'm not, there would have been more substance to it wouldn't you think?
Frankly I wanted to help Jon because I felt bad for him, I saw the thread talking about his whmcs being down so I messaged Jon to see if he needed anything. That's actually how I helped out the first time, something was amiss and I wanted to help solve it. I would do that for any host here, I've lent a helping hand to a few people lurking the forums in times of need.
He didn't left the company. He resigned as Director of Operations.
Not defending anyone on that however you can connect so many providers past and present to hackforums.
When jack acquired dotvps he stopped the advertising on HF straight away.
I agree, but personally I wouldn't deal with a host that had previous dealings with HackForums [see e.g. here]. There are enough providers that haven't had any evidence linking them to HackForums
I know (and i think i commented about this a few years ago) but regardless i still consider anyone with even the slightest connection to HackForums suspicious.
Good job GreenValueHost.

I think you might have come to the wrong forum.
And as no mention was made to his 'new' position the natural assumption is that he is no longer with them.
I see your point, but keep my statement. Your quoting is badly formated tough.
Statement is pure speculation unless backed up by proof.
I'll keep it in mind but knowing GVH, I wouldn't put it past them if this wasn't some sick revenge from Jon having been muscled out of his own business for incompetence.
In regards to my 'poorly' formatted quote, apologies it was done on my phone. I didn't realise 'LowEndBoss' could tell me off for it
Yeah, the sames "sales manager" who is now restoring their web site & WHMCS.
You'd think a "sales manager" would be busy focusing on, well, sales, and leave this kind of technical operations work to, say, the new Interim Operations Manager.
Of course, in this case, they're all just pretend names Jon made up. But it does make you wonder...does Sales Manager Jon email Interim Operations Directory Jaroslav every hour?
Sales Manager Jon: "How's the server restore coming?"
(logs into different email account)
Interim Operations Director Jaroslav: "Hi Jon, it's taking a while."
(logs into a different email account)
Sales Manager Jon: "We're losing money here, buddy! Speed it up!"
(logs into different email account)
Interim Operations Director Jaroslav: "Look, your pressure isn't helping. You don't have to be a dick."
(logs into different email account)
Sales Manager Jon: "You're the moron who let this happen!"
(logs into different email account)
Tyler/Alan: "Guys, let's just focus on the problem."

@VPN, I told he left as Director of Operations and not from the company because I was told so by him. There was also no sense on putting him out. He almost founded the company..
Anyway, I didn't put you off, no. I just warned you, as your statement says I said "And as no mention was made to his 'new' position the natural assumption is that he is no longer with them.", and I am sorry but I didn't. You can still edit it though..
@VPN Jonny had moved from Director of Operations to Sales Manager. That's it.
Well.. Logically, you can't sell when your systems are down. That's probably why Jonny would be expected to help rescuing the system..
Um, "Jaroslav" and "Jon" are the same person so the "move" was all in Jon's head.
Not really. "Jaroslav" was indeed another person, if you check that old thread and mpkossen's hidden statements. "Jaroslav" is not his real name tough. He was another guy whose name I don't remember.
Was it Tyjon Alanoslav by chance?
No, I just confirmed and Jaroslav is actually named Tyler.
Also, if you take a look at the IP Addresses (they are residential), you will see Jonny and Tyler are far away from each other..
I can confirm that @luissousa is right.His name is Tyler and running another hosting company as well
Website back up with working ssl
So why is my VPS with them down?
2 possible reasons:
1) Upgrading OpenVZ for vulnerable fix
2) Doing random stuff
I've just got some official information that they are currently updating their nodes to fix an OpenVZ exploit.
Hm... RamNode downtime for openvz fix was 5 seconds, prometeus downtime also 5 seconds, why do they take more than an hour?
confirm?
