I think we all knew/assumed they would be getting rid of the old options.
Honestly as a business move this might actually bring some income in for them.
Had to get rid of the "one price forever" option eventually.
One time won't go away. See with as bad as they are if they pay for 30 days they will stop paying after that and that's the end of that. Charge them a one time fee that's much higher but not crazy they will pay and use it for a short time and then quit using it. and C@C gets more money for about the same use.

I was simply going off of this.

Crippled boxes that act like they've been DOS'd to prevent being DOS'd. Could these guys be more clueless or deceptive? Technically limiting like that IS a form of DOS.

I think they mean a DDoS attack not just Denial of service haha.

Maybe, but I don't think so. Who knows. They are just making crap up anyway.

"You seem misinformed" because we lied about it before, so we are making up something different this time. they need an ERP to keep there lies straight.

They probably have one.

https://twitter.com/cloudatcost/status/597526965961101312So, they plan to eliminate all of the old plans, and they advertise SSD but then deliberately limit your IO without notifying you.
Oh that makes me mad. Good thing that I didn't buy my server. I'd be right pissed if I had spent/was spending money on them. Couldn't they just monitor disk array IOPS and query the clients hammering the system?... hang on, isn't the reason you sign up for a VPS to use it for what ever you want, within reason?
Is there some kind of consumer protection in Canada? Can they be spit roasted over their SSD claims?
-
They only claimed to offer SSD, not to offer a certain speed. They are really using SSD...... on a SAN. It's not local SSD. That people made the assumption that the SSD were local, were fast or were uncapped is literally just an unfounded assumption.
-
Remember they also claim that because they did not state explicitly to be production ready (which they don't claim about anything they do) that they are just a demo service not meant to be used.

Paypal issued me a full refund today. C@C never did once respond to them.
-
Well, I think they got their issues straightened out or something.... This is a mostly idle box with OwnCloud and an XMPP server installed...
My iowait is between 0.01% and 0.25%... It's a hundred time better than what it was. It even feels more responsive too!
-
bahaha, they didn't close my account down. I figured they'd do that immediately.

They might know how to do that.

Filed a request for a refund with Paypal for everything. They said if they don't hear from CloudatCost by the 18th, they should be escalating it.
-
@handsofqwerty You can escalate the dispute to a claim, which should result in you getting your money back faster.
