CloudPro

@Danp
Ya I just noticed that myself.Thats a huge killer for me (on one of my servers)
I actually just sent them a ticket asking how the static IP addresses work, and asking if there's really no way to do it without losing data....
Cant really see why I would need to lose my data....
-
Someone also said that It's not really a choice to move to CloudPro or not, if you want to re-image from now on you have to migrate to CloudPro. No options not to. I can't confirm as I can't get to the panel.
-
Oh jeeze your right, I no longer have the re-image option.
Wtf is that about....
-
Some else said you can't power off or power cycle the current ones either. Of course I can't confirm that either.
-
Can definately still power cycle.
My re-image has been replaced with "Upgrade Hardware" which takes you to checkout on the next size up server. And then additionally I have migrate server

Probably to cut down on oversubscribing. They are likely hoping with CloudPro that people will have a pool of resource but not use it all or leave extra in case they want to use it later. Meaning the OS won't have it available to use and free up some of there resources.
-
Ya very clever way to look at it eh, ya for sure all those resources sitting there unused eh.
I definately think its cool, and would like to switch to PRO (assuming I dont have to kill my current server)
But it seems like this "Temp offer" will be a "until everyone switches" offer
-
Yeah.
Panel is backup for me but still can't get to my instances. Power off and cycle buttons are still there but they don't actually power off any of the systems. It just acts like it does but from the console you can see they don't reboot or power off.

So basically it is the collapse of the current service. They are cleverly try to hide taking away the lifetime product that you just bought by making it look like an "upgrade". Trying to do a PR stunt to cover up the outage a little.

Wow. Absolute fail. That's the nail in the coffin. You can't use it even use it for a lab if you can't power cycle it.
-
I went ahead and "migrated" one of my boxes to CloudPro.
Good: I have resources available
Bad: I'm unable to create a new server using the CloudPro option
Ugly: Cloudatcost
-
I migrated nine, need to see if it works at all. At this point, I'm assuming they have no intention of giving us working servers again. The outage was intentional, the breaking of our "forever" servers was intentional. There's no good faith left here.
-
I thought this was an interesting exchange.

Yeah, they are crippling the old service in an attempt to sell the new one when the new one doesn't even exist!!
-
Looks like they are making some progress. I now have a pending server in the panel.

Just caught them lying again. Found their own marketing that they are now denying. They posted here on ML and on YouTube that they had redundant links. Now they are claiming that they never said that.

Yep. They've stated two redundant fiber links and a wireless uplink as well before. What kind of datacenter doesn't have backup links? Even at the town I had Fiber, Backup DSL, and Some very low end WISP backup.
-
My console is up now. Attempting to build a server.

Mine's backup too now. Instances are all gone. Looks like they must have forced CloudPro on my or something. No chance of recovering data now.
