Yeah, most probably there is some pressure from mom shareholders to fix sales especially since they are removed from OGF.

Of course such sales actually hurt their reputation, but don't forget that hurting own reputation has become a masterful art of C1V. Maybe due to inexperience, due to arrogance, or both combined.

@itsdeadjim the nail on the head, couldn't agree more. Excellent write up!

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

Especially this last point baffles me. Several well respected members of this community, such as @Neoon , have indicated to have services at C1v that they're satisfied with. So it seems that c1vhosting does know how to provide 'proper' hosting services. However, he deliberately chooses to provide dreadful performance for his 'flash' sale package. But why? Flash sales, like you rightfully said, aren't a free pass to provide piss-poor performance. Neither is the 'get out of jail, free card' line 'Don't order this server if you expect high performance as this is a low-end offering.'. So what's the whole idea behind those 'flash' sales? Get more clients on paper to keep his mom shareholders happy?

Moreover, in the end this will only hurt your reputation; no way in hell that I will buy another service offering from c1vhosting nor will I recommend it to anyone, based on the experience I had with my flash sale package.

They are still earning money, so minor hit to reputation don't matter. When the offer is good, people will buy regardless. Well, next time you'll know better then to buy a flash sale

Anyway, it could also be that the server he got for flash sale is lousy or he is overselling the flash sale server to make enough money to match is regular server and so on.

As for disclaimer, all are "get out of jail" free card. Google has a disclaimer that they have the right to sell your data and I still see people use google without worry.

We plan to upgrade our electrical system.

This operation includes the installation of a new electrical panel. These improvements aim to reduce disruptions to all services.

Maintenance will begin on May 3, 2024 at 5:50 PM CEST and will end around 6:20 PM CEST. While we expect no downtime due to our Tier-3 infrastructure design, you may notice a reboot on your server.

Tier-3 infrastructure design, no downtime, notice a reboot.

so much for a "Tier 3" lol.

c1vhosting is not a clown, it's the entire circus.

How much downtime is allowed for a Tier-4 (negative four) data center?

Tier 4 is 27 minutes downtime in a year
VPS with “do not expect ANY performance” … 27 minutes downtime in a day

You're absolutely right. c1v is the master of word play. He should pursue a career in politics

is that what you're doing all day? that's not impressive at all. show me the real performance where it actually handles workload. for windows server I'd expect you to flex how good IIS / MSSQL running. this is no different than skiddies that just post neofetch all day and argue how good their linux distro are.

I do wonder what @dev_vps 's obsession is with running Windows on a VPS anyway.

That love story seems to have hit a bit of a roadblock. Now he wants to install Debian on a Windows VPS.

I needed Debian 11 so that I can run VPS benchmarks and then Install Windows 2022 directly from MS ISO link.
I do not use provider template for Windows Server OS.
