Consolidation means my deal's dead

BuyVM waitlist is real. I've been on it since January.

Currently on RackNerd LA for a test box. $12/year, performance is what you'd expect at that price. Not terrible, not good. Fine for DNS and a static mirror.

Not moving anything production there.

RackNerd resells ColoCrossing. ColoCrossing is its own thread of drama. Search the forum.

Short version: network issues every few months, support tickets answered in 48-72 hours if you're lucky. You get what you pay for.

Aye, aware. We're not going near that. HostHatch London it is, probably this weekend.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned: Hostinger's email hosting. Loads of small shops use it because it's bundled cheap. If CloudCone kills the plan, those MX records break too. It's not just websites.

Anyone here relying on Hostinger for mail? Might want to start migrating to Proton or Fastmail now rather than later.

I was using Hostinger email for three domains. Moved to Migadu last month after cleardmitri's first warning thread.

€19/year for 10 domains, unlimited aliases. No webmail to speak of, just IMAP, but I use Thunderbird anyway. Clean migration, no downtime.

Not affiliated. Just mentioning because lee_mcr's right, the email angle is underdiscussed.

Migadu is fine until you need support. No phone, ticket only, 24-48 hour response. Fine for personal, risky for business.

I went with Fastmail for the same price range. $50/year, proper support, calendaring that actually works.

Different use case though. Keysales is right that for pure IMAP forwarding, Migadu works.

Late to thread, sorry. Has anyone confirmed if CloudCone is actually buying Hostinger corporate entity, or just specific assets? The filing I saw was vague on structure.

If it's asset purchase versus stock purchase, the customer contracts might not transfer automatically. That changes everything about whether your "plan" survives at all.

I do corporate M&A for tech, not my area specifically but I can ask around if people want.
