We initially outed them to YardVPS (for US clients) and HostMist (for EU clients). YardVPS were above-average on the service front, but lacking in support. HostMist – fantastic all round, just sometimes a few split-second outages for what we can’t see as apparent reasons.

But, in all, now the client base is there, it makes more sense to just lease a Dedi and run it off of our own back’s – that way I don’t have to come into contact with the suchlike of Ryan@thrustVPS.

I was astonished to see a client with a lot of active services – whom just made a complaint (directly and privately to Thrust) have their services terminated with no more than 20 minutes notice.

Leyton, sorry to hear about that. Yes, the new support (post-Rus-Foster) is constantly suspending VPSes and even terminating them. This host is already down the drain, did you find a new place to host those 15 customers yet?

All the best for future

I had 15 servers with ThrustVPS for client usage; I contacted them regarding their outrageous “Abuse” team continually suspending a server with no valid reason – and was told “you will receive a free month on this VPS – we’ll process that now”

A day later, and they said they decided to terminate their contract with me, and terminated all the VPS’ – loosing 15 customer’s data.

Unbelievable.

@Nefariousity

HazeNet was merged into ThrustVPS by Rus Foster, so yes I am back as a customer of ThrustVPS.

It still sucks, support terminate my VPS even though it paid, put me on a different plan with less or more resources and cut off access to SolusVM every now and then.

HazeNet was acquired by ThrustVPS. I had a HazeNet server before that was AWFUL.

Any updates on how bad ThrustVPS still is?

Rus Foster no longer runs Thrust::VPS. Not exactly sure what happened, but he's not around anymore. Someone else from iomart is managing it now.

Just a heads up that Rus Foster has now branched ThrustVPS into IOVPS and sold out to ioMart who also own Rapidswitch althougg Rus is still running Thrust and IOVPS. I was automatically transferred to IOVPS by Rapidswitch and, yep, Mr Foster is up to his usual tricks. He's completely corrupted my server in transferring it to IOVPS yet is claiming that it is not his problem. It is beyond me that a man with such a well documented history of poor service and ethics has managed to sell his company to a big player such as Rapidswitch. I am in the process of moving service providers and escaping before this gets any worse!

Dear Abdul,

What fraud orders? Fraud orders dont go through since many providers INCLUDING Thrust uses MaxMind (which has the tendency to even block real customers)

If you do not have proof to your hideous claims, please stop posting like you know it all

You are cheating them with fraud orders and want them to give you affiliate money?
