Ummm, they will be associated with you until such time as press release is made and actual change of ownership verified. You misled people for a long time by not announcing the purchase WHEN you originally purchased it.
@princeshoko why did you sign up with them in the first place?
So who bought it then?
Chris Fabozzi is in the whois, so there you have the identity of the drunk homeless... ;-)
Another topic about 123systems, lol.
He told everyone that his sold 123systems.
So whoever he sold it to does not give a shit or trusts him completely or both, so... inb4 123systems acquired by "green valley wave crossing host" announcement.
last email I got was Chris of Chicago VPS over the summer said he was the new owner. Sold it off so quickly? Not heard anything about that.
That is accurate. VSNX, which is also ColoCrossing's parent has purchased it. We're going to invest heavily into fixing the problems at 123Systems and enabling the customers who have paid for service to receive what they expected.
An email is going out right now explaining in further details.
Seems that you have to restructure a lot of things Care to share?
Edit: In a new thread of course.
lol so Chris 'bought' a ton of new hardware, filed to migrate anyone, failed to put support in place then 'sold' it.
Calling BS on this one, but what will be will be.
Too much promiscuity for my taste
I don't get it, why buy 123systems, weren't they basically deadpooled?
Brand name recognition? ;-)
123 has thousands of customers. We were able to step in and make sure the customers get the services they purchased.
soon.
For those interested, here is a copy of the email that was sent:
I got that email too a couple of minutes ago, and I also received the announcement on July 29th 2014 about the acquisition.
Unfortunately I have canceled the last one I got from 123Systems an annual Linux-4GB-SolusVM package that I cannot use even for hosting websites without MySQL, and the IP is blacklisted in several RBLs
@jbiloh So basically you walked over to @CVPS_Chris's desk and said "I want 123Systems" and he said "you can have it, but only if you give me a Cherry Coke"?
@jbiloh many users from here have abandoned 123sys (didnt renew services), due to the issues of the past. Will you honor same package if they are going to come back?
I don't blame you, it was a mess.
And yes we will honor it. Just open a ticket.
@jbiloh
Will you stop using self-signed certificate on the solusvm control panel?
Nothing wrong with a self signed cert for things that aren't critical.. perfectly acceptable IMO..
Just to confirm that, 123systems helped me resurrect a KVM plan I ordered last time ( 1GB KVm @10/yr). The ticket was answered by someone and he escalated to sales, converted some pending aff commision to credits, Updated the plan i want, and then got the VPS confirmation mail all within 48 hours.
Cool glad to hear it.
I resubmitted the ticket for my 2-month dead VPS last night and it was responded to within hours. The machine was rebuilt and then I rebuilt it again this morning. It's been operating fine since then.
I have good experience with them for years .I did just login to find my vps was terminated for no payment . I was pretty sure it was made to pay automatically.
Does terminated mean they deny me access until I pay or did I loose all my DATA!
I use it several months and this is my opinion. 123systems is very very bad. Uptime 3/10. Support 3/10. Price 10/10.
And now this post is back at the top this is all many people will see.
