Gossip: Quadranet discovered that AlphaRacks is run by its employees Dustin and AdamNG, and directly pulled the network cable

Initially on May 17, many AlphaRacks users (including old users of nfphosting and woothosting) discovered that the server went offline directly, and then did not recover for several hours after sending a work order. Then someone in the famous foreign hosting forum webhostingtalk broke the news that it was because Quadranet, the QN datacenter in Los Angeles with many Chinese users, discovered that AlphaRacks was run by its employees Dustin and AdamNG, and then directly unplugged the network cable and fired the two employees. The reason for being fired is suspected to be that he took advantage of his position to buy servers and bandwidth from Quadranet at a low price and then used them for alpharacks. This "sale" may have been a left-hand sale to a right-hand, or a self-sale and purchase.

There is such gossip news, and it has been 6 days now. Among the seven VPSs of AlphaRacks in our hands, 6 of them were migrated after AlphaRacks acquired nfphosting and woothosting. All of them have lost contact. Fortunately or unfortunately, none of these VPSs have important data, and the three websites listed on them that are often not updated also have backups. But many users who built websites on AlphaRacks were dumbfounded.

Whoever tells me in the future that Chinese businessmen are dishonest and often run away, I will slap this blog post on their face. There are many more foreign merchants who run away with dishonesty than mainland Chinese merchants. Moreover, Quadranet directly unplugged the network cable this time, without even giving time to back up the data.

According to some veteran bosses, the rectified version used by changeip employees was also discovered by the hosting provider. However, the most humane thing is that it has not been disconnected, and changeip has gained many more users. Quadranet's direct unplugging of the network cable this time caused a lot of controversy. Some people think that it was Quadranet's poor management that led its internal employees to sell the host to a third party privately for several years. From this point of view, there was management negligence. Moreover, after Quadranet discovered the problem, it did not communicate with the outside world, made no announcement, did not give a buffer period, and directly unplugged the network cable, causing many users to suffer losses. This behavior may be legal, but it is unreasonable and will have a great impact on Quadranet’s reputation (the opinion of LOC boss gyjys43043). Of course, some people think that it is all AlphaRacks' fault, and there is nothing wrong with Quadranet's processing method.

The current situation is that all VPS of AlphaRacks are inaccessible. When asking for a work order, they only said that there was a problem with the upstream and they were being negotiated.

Quadranet has not expressed its position, but the day before yesterday, some major customers of the QN datacenter received an email, admitting that there were some internal problems, but they would protect their core major customers. The near future of worthless customers like AlphaRacks 30,000 IPs have disappeared from their routing tables.

Quadranet’s statement has really ruined its reputation. Many people have said that when choosing a Los Angeles datacenter, they should try not to choose the distributor of the Los Angeles QN datacenter, because if the distributor conflicts with the QN datacenter again, the data will be lost. .

This site also feels that the way Quadranet handled the problem this time was inappropriate. You have been poached for several years due to poor management, and you still care about these days. Why not give users three days to back up their data? In this way, everyone will only say that AlphaRacks is dishonest, and the QN datacenter is still very reliable. Unplugging the network cable directly like this will make the distributors below also tremble. After all, end users are unable to judge whether each distributor and Quadranet have conflicts now or in the future, and face the risk of data loss.

For AlphaRacks users in mainland China, if there is no important data on the VPS and they pay with PayPal, and the payment time is within 180 days, they can go to the PayPal backend to apply for a dispute refund. If you use Alipay to pay, or have important data, you can only pray that AlphaRacks and Quadranet can successfully negotiate and at least give them a few days to back up the data.

This incident once again proved that you get what you pay for, and it also proved that using Paypal to purchase foreign VPS can reduce the risk of running away. This site recommends that if you use an ultra-low-price VPS, don’t put any important data. If you use it to build a website, you can refer to this article: Cost-effective VPS suitable for building a website in 2019: the monthly payment is less than 4 US dollars, and supports Alipay or WeChat payment< /p>

Registering Paypal is also very simple. Most bank debit cards can be bound and registered. Just register directly. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to register honestly in mainland China, that is, "Paypal". Watch some online tutorials, register with PayPal in Hong Kong or the United States, and don't be dumbfounded when problems arise.
