Welcome to Hydrode Hosting. My name is James Haygen. How can I help you today?
GP 23:46:34 GMT+01:00
Hi there, what is the current server load and how many CPUs are there on the server? Also, do you have a 1Gbit connection?
James Haygen 23:47:59 GMT+01:00
PE R200 Dual Core Xeon 3065, 2.33GHz/4M 1333FSB 8GB RAM 500GB CentOS 500GB

They are the server specs.


GP 23:48:32 GMT+01:00
What is the uplink speed?
James Haygen 23:49:35 GMT+01:00
Current CPU usage is around 0.20%, the uplink is 100mb, i dont know why you would want 1gbit speeds for Website Hosting. For a VPS or something yes that would be understandable, but for web hosting it is not needed.
GP 23:50:23 GMT+01:00
OK, Thanks for that information.

How often do you get downtime?


James Haygen 23:50:51 GMT+01:00
No problem, is there anything else?

We havent had downtime since we started, and we dont intent to get down time either.


Any scheduled down time will be emailed to you.

If you are a customer obviously.


GP 23:51:25 GMT+01:00
No downtime for 3 years?
James Haygen 23:52:15 GMT+01:00
No, we have only had this server online about 1 week, you are on a new server.

Sorry, should have made that clearer.


GP 23:54:31 GMT+01:00
Can you explain 1 thing... Vuze hosting "apparently" shut down on October 16th, the same day that your domain "hydrode.com" was created. Your website is NEARLY the same and your prices/plans are identical. Even your server name is similar... I think this is Vuze Hosting just under a new name...

Are you David Archsoft?


James Haygen 23:56:15 GMT+01:00
We purchased Vuze Hosting and have used certain aspects from them as we now own the rights to them. I can assure you we are not Vuze Hosting, we just bought it after it failed. If you are concerned then please feel free to try the hosting, we offer a 10 day money back guaruntee.

No, my name is James.


GP 23:56:57 GMT+01:00
Wait, that still doesn't explain why your domain was created the day Vuze shut down...
James Haygen 23:59:31 GMT+01:00
We have only recently started in web hosting solutions, i knew one of the people who owned a percentage of Vuze, when he found out that we were looking to move into hosting solutions he offered me the company, we would not have moved into web hosting solutions this fast had we not had that offer. It all happened a little too fast and i didnt realize that Vuze was in such a bad state financially, now we are offering customers a fallback option to move to use for 25% off.

Is there anything else you wish to know?


GP 00:00:27 GMT+01:00
Yes, why do you keep pretending not to be Vuze?

There is loads of evidence that shows you are Vuze, yet you don't want to admit it...


James Haygen 00:01:12 GMT+01:00
Thats becuase were not..

If you beleive we are, then go ahead, you wont be the first, but were not going to admit something we are not. And you are entitled to your opinion.


GP 00:02:15 GMT+01:00
I know you are, there is too much evidence... Just get a backup of my data, i'll purchase some hosting and were good to go...

Where did you go?


James Haygen 00:05:44 GMT+01:00
GP, after Vuze Hosting was purchased, the owner that i purchased from hasnt been in contact with me since, i have tried to contact Ecatel myself, however all they will tell me is that the server has been wiped now due to Vuze being behind with their payments. I assure we are not Vuze, and i cannot get your website content, because i cannot get into contact with their owner or their data.

All we were given was access to domains.


GP 00:06:36 GMT+01:00
Prove that you are not Vuze then, there is A LOT of evidence to show you are...
James Haygen 00:07:32 GMT+01:00
GP, im not going to prove this to you, if you want to beleive that we are Vuze, then feel free. But the fact is, we are not, and we cannot recover your data.
GP 00:07:56 GMT+01:00
Why not? Because you are Vuze?

I think you didn't want to have VPS servers anymore so you just sneakily closed Vuze and made a new site...


James Haygen 00:09:28 GMT+01:00
If we were Vuze, then i probably would be able to recover your data...I am not going to discuss Vuze with you, becuase ive told you everything i know myself. Can i assist you with anything else ?
GP 00:10:01 GMT+01:00
But I know you are Vuze... You can't prove your not...
James Haygen 00:10:16 GMT+01:00
Ok, thanks for contacting us today, have a nice day.

Welcome to Hydrode Hosting. My name is James Haygen. How can I help you today?
Paradox 00:11:27 GMT+01:00
The way you ended that last chat tells me that you are trying to hide the fact that your are Vuze...

I'm not here to cause trouble...


James Haygen 00:12:13 GMT+01:00
No it means im not going to talk about something i dont know about, where going in circles, and i have better things to do Paradox.
Paradox 00:12:40 GMT+01:00
Wait, you purchased a company and you don't know anything about it...
James Haygen 00:14:33 GMT+01:00
I told you, ive been in contact with one of the owners for about 3 years on skype etc...it turns out he was in quite a lot of trouble, he gave me the oppertunity to take the customers and content, however after i purchased he left, and i havent spoken to him since...Now all were trying to do is offer website hosting as a backup for those who where with Vuze.

I dont know any more than that, but when he comes online, i have a lot of questions for him, but at this time, thats all i know, and if you dont want to use Hydrode, then thats fine, but dont ask me to explain any more than i know.


You know everything i know..
Paradox 00:16:21 GMT+01:00
I've seen web hosting companies being sold before and everytime the users and content stay on the company until the new company finally decide to move it.

I worked out why you haven't been in contact with the Vuze owner... James Haygen = David Archsoft


James Haygen 00:16:25 GMT+01:00
Now can i assist you with anything else, or are you going to continue talking about Vuze? Becuase im not, sorry.
Paradox 00:16:45 GMT+01:00
YOU JUST DONT WANT TO ADMIT IT, YOU WANT TO KEEP IT IN THE PAST
James Haygen 00:17:21 GMT+01:00
Obviously you are going to continue talking about Vuze. Bye.
