    BTW

    Just a note, so the usual idiots don't post "We already knew this"...... I know this was already announced here yesterday, just wanted to post the e-mail I got, which is the first official statement that Jaguar has made (uh, I think).

    Well its not going to be a cake walk but we are doing what we can to help as fast as we can. We have already had hundreds of great comments and feedback so far. For some users its too late, they have had all they could take. That is perfectly understandable and also sad to see happen.

    I hope we can make a difference for all the users.

    Cheers

    best of luck with the deal Greg. I've always held JagPC is pretty high regard, so I know you guys will give Aletia's customers the attention they've been needing for a while now.

    I still wonder about a highly reputable host digging the bottom of the barrel. I mean, how would we all view VO if they bought Cyberwings or imhosted.com?

    Look at HP. They bought Compaq, but Compaq wasn't a bad company. Other unions form all the time between companies. Here's another, NEC and Mitsubishi... but they were BOTH reputable companies.

    I'm just throwing this out for some thoughts on it. From what I've read here, JaguarPC seems like a good host, and hopefully they will bring Aletia up to their level. If they do, then I agree it's a good thing.

    On the other hand, for an example more related to the hosting industry, look at deru (who bought Weinbar). Because of the bad experience people had with Weinbar, I'm sure many are afraid to go with the new owner, Deru.

    That wouldn't tarnish VO's rep in my view at least. I would see it as them saving all those poor clients at Cyberwings that needed a real host real fast.

    This is the same thing we aimed for. Its hard to sit by and watch clients literally complaining ina few new posts everyday about Aletia. Btw, there has not been one negative post on here since we took over. Im not saying there won't be one but there hasnt been one yet. We are working hard and fast to get to everyeon we can as fast as we can but with some complaints going back a few months there are bound to be some people that need to get things off their chest.

    Aletia once had a reputation equal to ours and it will again.

    Don't worry folks. The old Aletia owners will prolly change their name to something else and come back later.

    Its happened -- BurstNET bought TrueHost (or was it TrueHosting?) a while back. Some fuss was made in the beginning, but after a few days things died down.

    I don't think it's anything to worry about with JaguarPC and Aletia.

    Good hosts buy out bad hosts. It makes good sense really. I'd imagine you'd get a better deal on a sinking ship than one that's floating well. Once you cork the holes and fix the sails you end up with a fine vessel again

    hmm quite a nautical theme to this post
