Why? Well, no matter how many times I explain to them that I am no longer a paying customer, and no matter how many times they’ve asked me to pay for non-existent services, I am still receiving the likes of the following:

Subject: [OFFER] Windows HyperV via Poundhost/VAServ

Message: VAServe

What goes up won’t go down.

At Poundhost/VAServ we know that if your site is not up, your profits go down. Which is why we recently migrated your website onto a more secure Linux server platform.

However, threats are always evolving. To ensure that you are provided with the very best platform that’s reliable, secure, easier to manage, with greater interoperability and a substantially lower total cost of ownership, we recommend that you consider switching to Microsoft’s Hyper-V hosting platform.

Running on next generation virtualisation technologies Microsoft’s Hyper-V stores your data on a cluster of servers rather than one. So if a server is attacked, or goes down, the system automatically switches to the others. Thereby guaranteeing 100% uptime.

Migration is so simple you can do it yourself. However some of you may need to tweak or re-code your data beforehand to enable it to run on a Microsoft platform. Should you have any queries, call our contact centre on 01628 67 31 31.

Don’t delay though because we are prepared to offer a 10% discount to all those who migrate before 31st March 2009 using the coupon vdsmigrate.

See http://vds.poundhost.com for more information!

For your information VAServ, since you’ve lost all 3 of the VPS accounts that I had with you, I am still on a Linux VPS AND I have it on the cloud. So go sell your marketing bull elsewhere, not to people that you’ve let down so badly in the past.
