I'm glad you posted this here, I saw the megathread in LET, didn't get through all of it but saw one post where they were saying they're going to start advertising outside of LET, so good to spread the word far and wide about what's happening, do you have a summary for anyone who was late to the issue

Can someone post on WHT?

So glad I didn't end up getting anything from them.

Yes.

They illegally obtained the clients from Velox. Once called out for committing fraud, ignoring gdpr regulations and what not they went bonkers and started threatening to terminate users .

They're still illegally trading as Velox so beware.

Make sure to chargeback asap.

Edit:

Its now 'owned' by VeloxMedia Inc, VeloxMedia LLc and BentHost inc. They/He claims to be a 12M company, own dc lots of infra but won't disclose any info. Following the trail youll encounter a lot of smoke and mirrors.

12M IDR (Indonesian rupiahs) = 713 USD which is totally doable.
Basement DC with a total of 5 or 6 old obsolite desktops acting as servers is also possible.
Seems like a legit claim to me

That's why never buy from host(s) creating too much hype and offering nonstop giveaways, especially during BF.

We bought the 52% off VPS on Christmas.
Should we worry?

Meanwhile... One of the questions to even get a host rep tag on LET (Can't post offers)

• "Why our community should trust you with a Host Rep Tag / LIR Tag"

If its in Lebanese pound it would come down to 134$ or in Vietnamese Dong 456$

We have a good track record of bringing up the services every summer.

treesmokah

It has been more than obvious that this host will deadpool.

I do not feel bad for people that got "scammed" one bit, they deserved it, greed has poisoned their logical thinking.
64GB ram and 8 cores for 8 pound, sure bro. And then they expect similar pricing from other hosts after a deadpool, learning absolutely nothing from their mistakes.

I've been buying "lowend" offers from reputable hosts for years, and I'm yet to get scammed by any of them. People have expectations up their ass, less and less reputable hosts will be offering discounts because they will be labeled too "premium" and people would rather buy unsustainable deal from a noname host and cry when it deadpools.

Thanks for posting this. We set this notice to a small percentage of the previous owners customers. We have full intention to keep all the rest of the services as well as provide a bunch of additional services.

There's a couple people who seem to have a vengeance from the beginning of all this and just don't seem to understand what all is going on.

We're fully committed to the company and in the past couple weeks have made massive steps to ensure everything is done correctly. We're properly registered in the USA, registered with the ICO, fully GDPR compliant and everything. In the coming weeks we'll be launching our new Datacenters that have all our owned hardware and networking equipment.

Keep an eye out and stay tuned for all thats to come with the new Velox Media inc

@Veloxmedia has only been approved on the basis that people have concerns in this thread and I was open to letting them answer

They are not allowed to, and very likely will never have the ability to post offers here due to everything documented across LE forums, but not all of it is directly documented here so if you have questions / accusations and evidence please bring it up in this thread.

Any evidence to suggest rule breaking or illegal activity will result in the instant ban of the above account after reviewing and confirming.

Thanks!!! If anyone has any accusations or evidence or anything bring it up. There's a lot of misinformation and no evidence. We're not selling anything just helping to give proper information to people so they can understand.

Months down the road it'll become clear that we're still in business and large client base.

I'm not involved in this in anyway but I have a question if you will. You say you're fully GDPR compliant. I was under the impression that GDPR would have made acquiring the customer base as you did very difficult if not impossible. Is that impression incorrect and if so how?

Can you share the facts for all this? How it was illegal, whats fraud, what gdpr regulation is ignored? How we're illegally trading?

Aren't you the one dumping all our Discord? I've posted multiple photos of our DC and some machines we're working. Even photos of top of the line 128GB DDR5 server ram I left in my bag in Vegas.

Can we stick to facts here?

It seems the problem is no one seems to care to check company details before buying. Apparently people are just buying from anyone with a website.

Would you feel less stressful if we renamed the new company something else? Not sure how that makes a difference. The point in keeping the existing customers running was to keep the old company name.

We're working on moving services to our hardware. It's a process. We're still waiting on our ASN which we need before we're able to announce our IPs.

We're not in any rush to get things migrated and want to do it right. We should have 2 US east DCs opened in the next 2 weeks.

The reason we got into lower end hosting is because we're big in enterprise hosting and basically get hardware for free with all the licensing/warranty/support.

We'll still keep a lot of the rented hardware with established relationships and long term commitments, especially in regions we don't have a footprint. Our goal is to expand services and offerings.

We're also learning what the market actually wants and will use new sales data to determine where to expand. But I feel lowest price is more important than location. For example electric costs in the US west is 2-3x as much as in the east, and other than IP and support our highest cost is electricity, not hardware.

Our companies are siloed. Velox Media inc operates as a separate entity as does all the others. Private companies aren't requires or encouraged to disclosed specific business relationships. I'd love to know who all is involved in OpenAI and actually pulling the strings but its normal to keep that info private.

Do you ask this same information with the other providers or are we just singled out here? Ever since I learned about low end hosting I've noticed a theme, there seems to be no care for any due diligence then once one provider provides anything its an attack. We've provided all proper registrations and all have been verified, yet it seems no other provider has been requested of this.

I'm happy to give all the information required and it seems I've given much more than any other provider. We 3 weeks old and have more accreditations verifications than anyone else it seems. We're STILL waiting on these verifications from a few of our hosting providers which we've asked day 1, and their our vendors.

Its for my own security, money wont be spend on beginners hosting stage. A minimum of 5 years in the market is a must to be aknowledged by me.

Isn't private same as sole trader? Whatever, we will see in the future and how its success.

No we're a corporation registered in the US. Completely different than han a single person sole trader. Only difference between us and a public corporation is we don't need to disclose financial data to the public as our shareholders are private.

It's the 47% that I'm concerned with and we don't know. They're an oddball because they took over a non-profit and now is for-profit with a bunch of very sketchy stuff in the background. Nonprofit must list board members and structure as well as financial information.

When one of your selling points is that your "big in enterprise hosting", it doesn't seem hugely unreasonable to ask you to back that up.

If you're not willing to reveal the "big enterprise" provider you claim to be a part of, why bring it up?

I'm not involved in this in anyway but I have a question if you will. You say you're fully GDPR compliant. I was under the impression that GDPR would have made acquiring the customer base as you did very difficult if not impossible. Is that impression incorrect and if so how?

This question might have been missed

It's not at all difficult. What would make it difficult?

There's a lot of misunderstanding with GDPR and a lot of people seem to like to misread the requirements to make an issue that isn't there. I'm not an expert on GDPR so don't handle this side of things but we have in house council and hired GDPR specialized legal council to ensure we're fully compliant. If any issues you can file a formal complaint with us on our ICO listing as we're properly registered with them.

Note, it seems most other providers aren't registered with the ICO

What is your ICO registration number?

And when will you fix the website so links are clickable and don't just pop up with a contact form?

Here it is. https://ico.org.uk/ESDWebPages/Entry/ZC072447

Our web team is working on the site. We kicked them off editing prod as they kept causing issues (we never let them edit live sites but this was a rush) I just messaged them to get this fixed in live. I think our cache updates every 4 hours so should be fixed in 4.5 hours or so.

How many other providers have you asked for their ICO registration number?
