The above "deal" on a #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/windows" rel="tag">Windows</a></span> #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/vps" rel="tag">VPS</a></span> is an example.

I doubt that any of the buyers got refunds for unused hosting time that they'd paid for.3415515http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2022-11-25T16:43:32+00:002022-11-25T16:43:32+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.

About a year ago, several #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/lowendbox" rel="tag">Low_End_Box</a></span> ( #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/leb" rel="tag">LEB</a></span> ) #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/vps" rel="tag">VPS</a></span> hosting companies suddenly shut down at the same time. Memory says they were renting from an upstream provider ( #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/colocrossing" rel="tag">Colocrossing</a></span> ) and missed a payment.<br /><br /> Note: these had all recently had sales, acquired new customers (generally prepaid for a year of service), and then shut down without advance notice.3349866http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2020-12-01T06:12:22+00:002020-12-01T06:12:22+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.

But you should realize that when I shut down my last #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/vps" rel="tag">VPS</a></span> with some funds still in my account and never even tried to get a refund that I was probably more interested in getting away you quickly and putting some distance between us than trying to get a few dollars back.<br /> <br /> I still have no desire to do business with you. I’m not saying that others should not, it’s just that you were apparently bought by #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/colocrossing" rel="tag">ColoCrossing</a></span>, and I know how badly most of their companies (and clients too, apparently) can be.
