Topic: Bad news Posted: May 09 2009 at 7:41am |
hey guys jumped on the forum today and noticed our tf2 server was down.
so i tried to contact the provider and noticed all the phone lines were closed.jump on there forum and found this.
Customer Notice:
On Friday the 8 May all our servers sustained an unprecedented DDoS attack and as a direct result of this our transit provider was forced to disconnect our servers. In order to have our connection re-instated we would have had to guarantee to pay thousands of pounds in bandwidth surcharges generated by the continued DDoS attack, at one point of the DDoS attack a surcharge £4500 would have been levied (as our transit provider would also directly incur additional surcharges). And further similar charges would also have been levied running into many thousands of pounds. For many of those who know me through my online presence you will have seen TEAMHOST grow basically from a bedroom business into a moderately sized business over a period of 4 years. Obviously it is with deep regret and sadness that the illegal actions of a person or persons unknown have not only caused my business to close but to also take away my livelihood especially in the current economic climate.
On a final note to the individual who considers that destroying a business and livelihood is acceptable, just remember what goes around normally comes around - and those proxy servers are just that!
Hope to see you soon.
Checked my email and found this also

no need for you to apologize, it's nothing that you did...it is pretty crappy that they banged you for another payment though, they should at least give you a pro-rated refund, it's not like you cancelled on them...it's worth firing off an email to them, the worst that can happen is they say no

I would not be surprsed if they did not pay their bandwidth bill and was shut down and used this excuse to take everybody's money and run. This just smells fishy to me.

Put the dogs in the car and go visit them R . Lets see if their customer support gets better.There are alot of resellers on the web that come and go every day, its always better to buy from big hosts.
