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.

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.

My mistake. It IS a claim currently. They just said they are waiting until the 18th for some reason I don't fully understand.

They give the person time to respond and try to find a resolution -

Got my refund today via Paypal. I checked my account with C@C, and they now show that I owe for the amounts that were refunded. I've submitted a ticket to have my account closed and the invoices voided.

They do the same time for every account. Business account doesn't mean they are a big company. I have a Paypal business account and business creditcard (because it ties to my other cards and I get cash back on both).
