Pwn9 Drops CloudatCost

In our minds, CloudAtCost has solidifed themselves as the absolute worst server hosting provider that has ever, and likely will ever exist... period.
It's not that:
- Their have terrible uptime
- They have persistent problems during their uptime with poor performance either of their network, disk I/O, and more.
- They act unilaterally without warning on things such as migrations and reboots that cause downtime for your server, without giving opportunity to prepare.
- They have absolutely terrible customer support.
What really gets under our skin is that, we (Pwn9) won a contest, for a server to host minecraft. It took 4 months of constant nagging to get them to actually provide us that server after they had informed us that we had "won". Now, barely 5 months into actually having that server, and a year after actually winning it, they have without warning, without the opportunity to warn our community, to back up our files... taken the server down.
The claim was a hardware failure.. so, add to customer support issues, blatent lying. It is our belief that CloudAtCost was simply spiteful that Sage wrote an honest blog about our issues with our paid CloudAtCost servers, and like an angry child left the playground taking their ball with them.

Looks like a certain company might be going out of biz soon. That is as soon as the venture capital money is dried up.

Cloudatcost is still growing. unfortunately we have been having quite a few growing pains recently. We are learning from these outages and making sure we implement the solutions needed to keep growing.

I think they are out of business. They are just stalling to avoid lawsuits till they can wrap things up.

Growing? Ha. These are growing pains, these are collapsing pains.
Stop marketing, deal with the issues.

The problem is, CloudatCost is probably swamped with people demanding their money back. The backlog isn't a technical one, it is a financial one.

That's obliviously not true. Unless you mean your company bank account is growing more into the red by the hour.

Growing in absolute terms.
