if you look on the bright side, at least you are meeting my expectations of being inept and dysfunctional. :trollface:
Bahahha. C@C meeting super low expectations one cloud VPS at a time.

Well if anyone gets fed up, I'll take over their account if it's free. Been meaning to play with this stuff for a while.

This is entirely a voluntary migration.
Right, voluntarily migrate or lose your purchase. "Voluntary" -

You could throw up a php page with a simple login and some buttons tied to no actions and get the same functionality. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I work directly for CloudAtCost.
Due to the multiple Twitter messages that I have seen and received, I wanted to give some insight directly to Mango Lassi users in regards to the Cloud At Cost issues.
We did indeed experience a fiber cut and worked closely with our data center as well as Rogers in order to get this resolved. In response to @thecreativeone91 and @scottalanmiller I have included a picture of the accident that occurred and caused the outage in Waterloo, Ontario near Highway 7. One of our employees personally went there in order to get an insight as to why the disruption had been taking so long.
If you look closely at the picture, you can see on the right hand side the spool off Fiber cable that had been brought. At this point, Hydro One had yet to bring a pole to replace the one that had been damaged in the accident. I have additional pictures I can provide in regard to the outage if need be.
Coincidently, moments after the fiber line had been brought back up, there was a secondary outage in Oakville as confirmed by Rogers. At this point, we were programatically moving Cloud and Cloud Pro customers from the 10Gbit upstream link to our redundant link until the fiber link was 100% back up.
Going forward, we will be improving our redundant lines in order to sustain our current growth as well as network transfer rate.
As a thanks to our customers for being patient during this frustrating outage, we introduced the free migration from our Cloud service to our Cloud Pro service. Giving users the ability to convert their current life-time service to X,Y,Z resources that they may freely play with. For example, being able to convert a 4GB life-time VPS to resources and being able to deploy 8 512MB instances, or 2 2GB, 4 1GB, etc. This gives you the benefit of splitting one of your largers VPS' into multiple, scalable small VPS' on multiple different public IP's.
Due to the alarmingly positive response we've had from our Cloud Pro service, a considerable amount of customers have converted their current resources to Cloud Pro, thus our build queue has been considerably larger than usual. We have not only installed another SSD-storage to improve the build-speed, but also opened our gates to a few more build-servers in order to increase operations. The added benefit being that our overall I/O speed has improved across all servers. Check your VPS' I/O speed again and you'll see it has improved.
Currently we sit at 506 queued builds (building the config, expanding the /dev/sda, etc.) and 30 active installs (transfering data). We vary between processing 70-100 builds per hour.
Let me know if this is an adequate answer to your questions, we're all up for transparency and I'll be more than willing to give you more insight to our internal operations.
But you (CloudatCost) made a big deal about bringing in redundant lines BEFORE this happened. Then when you had your last "blame it on Rogers" outage, you all refused to even discuss why there was no failover. NOW you claim to have fixed it? We've heard this before. We'd be morons to believe you this time around!

Wow... my server has finally moved on to the "reimaging" process. Maybe that will be done in another 3.5 hours.
Impressive.... NOT!

Welcome to @rivalsurvival the account that was found out to be a C@C employee posting like they where a end users over on C@C threads on Spiceworks. yay I guess we are gaining popularity on ML too.
-
I see lots of excuses, no answers. All the same finger pointing at Rogers as before. I wonder how long until Rogers' legal steps in to answer these allegations.

Hi Guys, I am one of the affected customers at cloudatcost :(. I haven't worked on the server for about a week so the fibre cut did not really affect me. I was also one of the first to migrate my servers to the Cloudpro. It took around 2 days to actually start reimaging (the huge queue). Here, I will include a picture of my control panel to prove that it is all working. Considering the one time pricing to this small outrage, I am still very grateful that I have and are using their service. The cloudpro had slightly better difference than the normal cloud servers but the internet was extremely slow! The mean for 3 downloads from "wget" is 2MB but hey, you can't complain since this is a one time server!

@charlie Why do you use Rogers instead of Fibernetics? I guess they are even less reliable than Rogers?

lol Scott this is the same guy from spiceworks who got deleted

As in, it only worked one time?
How does the manner in which we pay make it so that we can't complain? We paid, they did not deliver, they treated us like crap and they lie lie lie. Complain we can do, use the service we cannot.
What exactly do you use this for that you never need it to work and don't care if you pay for something you don't get?

Minecraft was tested on there @rivalsurvival and it was shown that their systems CAN'T run Minecraft, even when they themselves spec it out. Didn't work at all. See all of the threads. I think you failed to bluff well there.
-
I am confused at the last response made by @rivalsurvival that he instantly deleted
-
I see he deleted that made up answer since it was so impossible. Anyone who has used CloudatCost or has been in this community knows that MineCraft can't be run on it, it lacks the horsepower.
-
Spice Work? I was never active on that since there is no down vote. I run a part time minecraft server on these clouds so i don't always need to keep it on. I;m still fairly new to linux so this is like a testing ground for me and i like it.

He was trying to say that he uses CloudatCost for MineCraft - but apparently never actually logs in. Which explains why he thinks that it might be working.

For some reason i can't see the text that i posted so i decided to retype it without quoting anybody.

We knew that your account was moderated this morning. And there IS a down vote. Had you been on there, you would have been aware.
