I wiped my Hosting73 VPS's and issued cancellation tickets. Both were cancelled. I also sent a ticket requesting refund for unused portions of the deposits. (Like there's a snowball's chance in Hell of seeing that money again since I funded it via credit card.) Here is what I have gotten back from them:

Hey Joe,
We are still working out the details. In about 2 weeks well know exactly what direction on that. Thanks for your patience.
Thanks

No surprise here. No hosting provider can provide a product for 25 a year. Datacenter, cooling and power alone is more than that in a year for a VM.

I got the Hosted Simply email at about 7pm (saw it this morning -- my PC has fan issues so I had it off last night), sad part is I paid for the year -- this is why I want pay by month -- I aslo have a shared VPS on HudonvallyHosts and a Dedicated box with them and now they got stupid and try to take $$ when they are not supposed to -- their response is 'Well it's our parent company doing it this way)

So now I am looking to migrate 13 production websites to individual servers (wanted all one provider for convenience and bill at once, but Oh well) - so now am either looking for a reliable year plans (but once bitten twice shy) or affordable monthly plans spread over many datacenters (Confucious say: He who put all his eggs in one basket, have scrambled eggs for breakfast :smile5:) Many are small sites but need to figure out either a correct Postfix or Sendmail with SSL as all my sites emails DIED after adding SSL to the domains.

I heed to start over so maybe, @wardmundy, if youhave an affiliate link for crowncloud, I'd give them a lookie.

I'll be in and out until my new fan arrives, but will check in.

P.S. Hosted Simply was so bad for me,I gave up, reformatted and left it idle - wish I could get my $25 back, but I think it's been over 6 months so...

I had an account with HudsonValley for about 2-3 years, that is until the incompetent morons there deleted one of my VPS. No applogoly, or anything
When I tried to post my bad experience on LowEndBox, of course they would not allow bad posts about their parent company to appear. So I don't trust LowEndBox for anything.

They can if they over sell, and hope people don't use it too much.
