BIGvps.io closing
Just got this, in case anyone hasn't got the email for some reason and has services with them, I thought I'd post it. It seems a shame to see them go, as they had an impressive looking product range.

Wasn't that weeks ago?
Hmm, that's unusual. Maybe they mean the 3rd of August? I received the email 1 hour ago.
@pbgben, strange new orders seem to be able to be placed.
Dammit Murica, why can't you just use DMY and stop causing all of this confusion...
It seems odd they would announce a closure due to "missing funding goals" this far in advance... not that I would disagree with this action, but it does seem to be a long time away.. especially to be offering refunds.
I guess it could be April but they got the month wrong.
If they were doing the rest of their business as well as communicating the single most crucial bit of information in this E-Mail (the date), then it's not surprising whatsoever that they're closing.
another ? seems to be difficult
I can confirm that I made a mistake with the month, it is meant to be 08/04/15 Or the 8th of April.
We will soon be auctioning off our domain.
Proofreading is important. Are you really is such a bad financial position that you can't keep the domain to have a message about shutdown on it?
This.
Worries me that people go so huge straight away that they can't afford the equipment because they got everything in advance and didn't budget. - Oh dear, bit unfortunate.
@pbgben Have you talked to @ItsChrisG yet?
^ This. I'm sure he can help.
We rented all our hardware so we have very little financial debt < cost of new hardware.
We set a goal for 6 months, and if not reached then we would decide to keep going or can it. We felt that it would be better to stop as we lack the skills required, we we're running the whole thing manually and it took too much time. I guess we just jumped in before fully thinking things over.
I have messaged Chris, but not had a reply back. The only thing we have that's significant is our domain, as we see it anyway. As we wont need this anymore we're just going to auction it out to the LET community.
@pbgben 6 months in LET market is too low.... Ask many provider here, the first year is the most difficult one. Don't expect any profit from this first year.
Anyway, you should wait for @ItsChrisG. He may be interested to buy your customer/server/domain/etc.
Let should change the rules to avoid summer hosts. I really wanted to get the 500GB vps from bigvps to backup my 2 PC. Thanks God dident do it because it is a pain to trasfer the data.
Offers should be allowed from companies that are 1+ year in business.
Just my opinion....
try looking at it like this
Aptil 3 2015
Even the IRS doesn't expect a company to make money the first three years.
If they can deduce that date from 8/03/15, I can see why they're closing.
I understand that now, unfortunately, when we started we had no real idea of what it would take. We were able to provide the service, but not the business side of things.
We stated the reason as financial, but in truth it has more to do with the lack of skills. The infrastructure we currently use was not the best choice for a service provider. As we "had" to do many tasks manually.
I have had a request for information on a possible take over, so it may not be too bad for the current customers. And future customers can look forward to a service that is run properly.
has refund is best.
6 months seriously ,_,
I'd like to buy your clients and domain please ping me back with the revenue and the expenditure and we'll work something out.
And after next six months, you will again say that BigVPS.io is closing for personal reason.
Oh it's you. Then despite what one forum member here has in his sig, we do need to say LOL. Butting in into every storage thread "like a pro", always pushing your b/s overpriced "offers". Well at least that will now hopefully stop.
Please be happy.
Yeah sure!
@TheKiller one of his million hosts he works for
That kind of thing is best said via PM/email.
or not at all and let @ItsChrisG deal with this
