    Hey there. I just stumbled upon your conversation while doing a google search about BuyAVPS. I have been a customer of theirs for about a month now. We have had a few large scale outages. And we are currently down as well. At 3:30 om 3/26 we all went down (again). Its now 8:15pm (a day later 3/27) and everything is still down. We have only heard one thing from them saying that they had a raid failure, and will fix it shortly. But that was at 6am this morning. And still nothing. We are all a bit worried. If you would like to know the name of the main forum that discusses this please PM. I would post the link so everyone can see the hundreds of frustrated threads going on right now (and have been going on for weeks), but i know thats not totally cool to just take people away from this board. Or you could just do a google search. The site comes up pretty high on the list.

    Ditto! I have been a customer of buyavps or only a few short weeks, and my VPS has literally been DOWN more than it's been up. I just lost my second customer because of Buyavps!

    Stay far away from this company!
    Lessons Learned:
    1. When your gut tells you it's too good to be true price wise - it is.
    2. Any VPS Provider who doesn't have a phone number that you can call them at - there's something wrong.
    3. Any VPS Provider who goes around posting on forums to try and advertise their business is a SCAM!

    Run, don't walk away from Buyavps! You WILL loose your shirt!

    Hello there,

    This is Navid Nadali Co-Founder of buyavps.com We had some problems in 2 servers and we have actually decided not to risk using them again :) All customers on those servers are now transfered to our New rack and new servers On Dual Xeon Dual Core Servers all with SCSI Raid 10 Drives !! Please find the info below :

    First of all let me say sorry about the problems you had :) Also we are hosting hundreds of VPSes ! We have the BEST servers available and our servers are located at one of the BEST DC's in USA , Peer1 , Ok you may ask then how can you offer such low prices here is my answer :

    Unlike many providers we own ALL our servers and equipment from the Servers to the Switchs and firewalls - We have a Good management and support system going on so we can give you answers in Seconds and not pay extra for support :)
    Sir, Who said we dont have a phone number ? Please contact sales@buyavps.com and ask for contact informations :)

    I actually think this means the provider cares about their customers and what people think about them

    Once again i am sorry for our customers who were on those servers, This problems happens and all we can do is be sure to do anything we can so it does not happen again , Tell me how many times you saw for a unknown raid card crash the servers goes down and all Raid10 arrays get corrupted - Yes it happened to us !

    Thank you,

    Buyavps.com - SCAM!! There are numerous threads on webhostingtalk.com about this, but it looks like Navid and buyavps.com was not paying the bill and caro net powered on the buyavps.com server for a week for Navid to remove the files, but Navid never let the clients know, so if you don't have a backup on your local PC or somewhere else, it looks like a loss...

    WOW....this is a terrible tragedy. Imagine having 100's of sites hosted on a VPS and losing it all. It happened to me once...I only recovered 30% of the sites. And I lost a 80 site blogging network on top of that. That's why I provide my own hosting now...lol

    I hope this turns out OK for all involved.
