Indeed. TheVPSGods.com has not been resolving for > 36 hours. Looks like he might have just taken the money from the unaware and run…

Arber Beqiraj is the owner of thevpsgods.com and daredevilhosting and he is a fraud. you are right, the site is down. and all those that purchase cheap vps from him are conned. so be creaful choosing your hosting company.

so everyone could be scammed very easily.

This and the bad service of the larger hosts is what puts this business down to the level of used car salesmen. :(

I had learned from bitter experience that it is not good idea to prepay for one year unless it’s high profile webhosting company. I just realized there are no universal regulator in this business, so everyone could be scammed very easily.

@ paijrut -

Good to hear they didn’t just kill the servers off.

xennode is dead indeed, but the customer vps had been transferred to centralhost. Quite few problems appears when it’s transferred there. xen changed to openvz, then changed back to xen with very long downtime. but their network and performance are great so far. Perhaps that was the best for us the customer who prepaid for it. I prefer that than the host, our vps, and our money just gone.

@QuickWeb Joe — indeed having a fully registered business would be a barrier that can hopefully filter out the bad hosts (although never guaranteed). However the registration might be done anywhere in the world — LLC, Pty Ltd, etc — all have different regulations. Would be quite a bit of work tracking that down.

oh, what a shame! :( customer should be vigilant now and only get VPS from a host who is a fully registered company.

I will group all the dead pool posts under this category, and will put a link somewhere after I've gathered a few more posts.

@LEA Maybe next time you’ll head my warnings instead of deleting my posts. ;)

You should make this a permanent page, eg a “wall of shame”, that tracks these failures. Maybe even it’s one category. This will make it easier to track these dodgy startups, especially if the owners spring up again under a new name…

I was a XENnode.net customer until April 1, 2010, on which date my virtual host disappeared with nary a trace — along with the entire “XENnode.net” organization, apparently. This despite the fact that we pre-paid for service at least through May, 2010. An aggravating experience, to say the least.
