I thought this was an interesting exchange.

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

Well, it allows you to migrate the resources... but you'll lose everything on the existing server.

Guess this is their way to appease some folks and avoid a mass exodus and chargebacks / paypal disputes.

Not that I can get to my panel to actually migrate haha!

Just noticing the same thing myself...

Just got the following via email:

FREE CloudPro for all existing customers.
CloudatCost is offering for a limited time existing customers which have purchased servers using the "OneTime" option can migrate FREE to CloudPRO service with no monthly costs.

CloudPro is the next generation of CloudatCost which will soon offer many extra features such as multi datacenter, redundant networks, additional OS Choices, advanced API and many more features scheduled for release in the next few weeks.

To migrate your existing server resources simply login to the panel at https://panel.cloudatcost.com, find your server you wish to migrate and select the "Migrate" option.

Please ensure you backup your data.

Once completed you can click CloudPRO and you will see all your resources you can start using.

I was just going to post something similar and then saw this on Twitter: https://twitter.com/gouda_coin/status/593981128177889280

Where was the email when the outage started?

Maybe they host their own email server. That would certainly explain the long delay.

We are having an issue accessing some of our network subnets due to a local car crash that caused fiber to be cut.




Network Update: Our fiber technicians have confirmed that the target for full restoration is 8 PM EST today. 

We will provide updates as we get them.

Their silence is deafening...

Panel is back up... but still no access to my boxes.

We switched to WR from Vipre a while back. Overall, I'm happy with the product. There are a few things that take getting adjusted to or that need addressing in the product:

• Your actions in the web panel don't occur immediately. Depending on your settings, it can take up to 24 hours for the command to be processed by the endpoint.

• Everything is MD5 based. You can't exclude by directory or filename. If the MD5 changes, then you have to "redo" your earlier changes to allow the new version of the app.

• Identity Shield modifications (allow / deny an app) occur at the endpoint level rather than the policy level.

Both of my boxes are not accessible. Also can't load the panel.

Be sure to patch!

They stopped offering discount coupons a while back. If you have enough domains then you can save money with their discount club.

Seems to be pretty snappy this morning. Anyone still seeing I/O issues?

I liked the Miami version.

FWIW, not seeing this on either of my boxes, which have little or no traffic.

@scottalanmiller Not seeing any issues here with gmail. Also, you can filter incoming emails. Look under Setting > Filters, and use the option to Skip the Inbox (Archive it).
