Thanks for those that have taken the CloudPRO service. At this time all issues in building servers is resolved. We are however backlogged on the build Q so you might find the server builds are taking longer than expected. We expect this to cleanup today as we add more hardware over the weekend.

So wasn't it marketed as a consolation for them being down? But, really it's being forced on us and They are thanking for people using a none working CloudPro Service.

Yup. Out of the frying pan into the fire.

My build is still being attempted.

They just Tweeted to me that they are adding resources.

How about they go ahead and add that $147 back to my paypal account and forget about buying "resources" they don't know how to configure.

More resources isn't going to fix their lack of knowledge in proper configuration.

This is the biggest thing. So many technical flaws and bad decisions around design. They aren't addressing the real problems at all.

Looks like they are making some progress. I now have a pending server in the panel.

Server never built. Deleted and trying again...

Oh, my first one actually did. Trying a second now. Want to do some IO testing to see if they have fixed anything or just bluffing on that.

Still pending... I'll let it ride for a while and see what happens. Good thing I didn't actually need to do anything with it (testing or otherwise!).

.... and it's still pending. Here's a classic rant from Twitter: https://twitter.com/pegasusepsilon/status/594437200722329600

@scottalanmiller What is your secret? Which eyes / toes/ fingers are you crossing? Or does Jupiter have to be at a perfect 90 degree angle to Saturn?

Any other planetary alignments necessary? I've let both of my attempts run for several hours with nothing at all happening.

I'm yet to up/down/side-grade to cloud poo(?) oh, oops. Pro, CloudPro.

So let me get this straight, you get your entire VPS nuked when you move to the service. You have to back up your own stuff but it's almost impossible to back up a C@C instance (offsite)... IF, you can connect to it.
Am I correct with any of ^that?

What backup software/strategy are you lot using?
