Hi,
And the main site don't even load for me Do you all have backups of you're vps? Have you try to get support I know it may be not able to as the site is down but they may have a phone number or something right?
Let us know how this ends up!
Best of luck.

I believe the websites and VPSs were all on the same server, so that'd explain why it's all down.
Any advice on going about getting a refund from Google checkout, if need be (and it looks that way)? Someone on LEB said they've done it before for similar situations.

I never used Google checkout but i did fine some info here...
http://checkout.google.com/support/b...ct_type=claimb
Just tell them what happen show poof of domain hosted and should be good to go.
Best of luck.

Hmm, that's odd. I emailed them at the gmail address on the dinixhost whois a few hours after it went down and just got a reply that they were "working on restoring it."
I never received an email from them saying they were moving everyone off the servers and that their server had a hard drive failure.
It's odd that they'd be having significant downtime since they said they're using RAID-10. Perhaps a quick reboot to swap the failed drive if they aren't hot-swappable.
It's also odd that there's some other website on my VPS IP address now.
http://174.138.163.211/
My server is running nginx with a simple test page, not cpanel and apache.

I didn't realize I'd gotten an email either. It was in my spam folder from a week ago actually:
This seems like a pile of bull, really. To me it looks like they're just hopping around data centers until they run out. I think I might just request a refund.
|
| Posted by david3, 09-30-2010, 07:24 PM |

OK, I take that part back. I searched through my spam folder and found the same email dated 23 Sep 2010. I didn't receive any further emails with a new IP address, though.

As of a couple hours ago my two BlazeVPS hosts are up and running. I've connected and verified that all is working, and they appear to be on separate physical hosts, as requested.

How did you get yours back and running? I didn't get an email or anything with my info. Are they still the same logins and everything?
|
| Posted by thelists, 10-01-2010, 05:04 PM |
|
No -- new IPs. They're probably working through a list re-creating the VPS accounts.

Thanks for your share, really a good news!By the way, do you have any data lost?
|
| Posted by thelists, 10-01-2010, 08:28 PM |
|
Unfortunately yes. One system lost 100% of the data since my last backup.

Did you have to email him or what? If so, what email address did you use? The site still isn't up....
|

i didn't receive anything
|
| Posted by bbq2, 10-08-2010, 04:04 PM |

I tried to contact them and they've been unresponsive. Just filed for a refund through Google.

As per their homepage instructions, I got new login details after emailing sales@dinixhost.com with the info they requested. New VPS is located in Seattle at *******.

As of today we have acquired the BlazeVPS assets. If you were a BlazeVPS customer please can I ask you to email me at rghf@blazevps.com
Thanks

Are you still with Dinix hosting ?
|
| Posted by sdservers, 03-09-2011, 08:41 PM |
|
I supplied servers to Dinix and he skipped out on me for over 1k so I'm checking to see if anyone has servers hosted with him.
|
| Posted by Andrew Moore, 03-09-2011, 11:21 PM |

Dinix was sold to ThrustVPS so it's unlikely anyone is still hosted with Dinix directly.

I have dealt with the owner, Timothy Petty, of the so called "Dinix" hosting company trying to get money he owes me since October 2010. He has written me a cold check and been in court for other cold check offenses. I'm taking him to court again.
I have all his contact information: email, phone and address. PM me if you need any of his information.

Hello! Now Thrustvps accept all the customers I think. I register an account on ThrustVPS and tell them I received an annoucement saying I can get a $20 credit, they did this and now I'm fine with Thrustvps
|
| Posted by thelists, 04-05-2011, 01:02 PM |
|
I spoke with them as well. That is fine if you only had a single, low-end VPS with Blaze... you still come out ahead. But if you had multiple higher-end VPS units, you still only get a TOTAL of $20 with Thrustvps, NOT one per VPS.
Not to mention what this would mean for anyone with actual hosted equipment.
