蜗牛也有在上个月底的时候撰文\”便宜VPS主机商存在的风险及用户选择注意事项\”文章中提到AlphaRacks商家服务器无法连接失联。其中我也有一台机器,虽然没有什么数据在上面,但是好歹是花钱购买的。对于AlphaRacks商家来说,我们应该是比较熟悉的,一来是价格低的离谱,二来各种促销活动中文、英文版本推送到我们的邮箱中。
具体我们也不去猜测AlphaRacks以及其他所谓的几大金刚是不是一家一个老板的,但是现在需要说的是目前这几个低价商家基本结束。今天早上收到AlphaRacks发来的邮件告知确定关闭。
After over a decade in business we regret to inform you that AlphaRacks is officially closing its doors. Given the recent outage that exceeded the provisions and financial capabilities of our disaster recovery plan, AlphaRacks will no longer be providing services. We were a budget focused VPS provider, which did not leave room for additional options financially within our disaster recovery plans.
We have contacted various different VPS hosting companies to attempt to establish a transfer agreement that is in accordance to our privacy policy. In addition, some of the below providers have reached out to us offering assistance / credit for our customers.
这是部分邮件内容。不管是基于财务问题还是什么问题,就是要告诉大家关闭,无法使用,我们可以使用其他商家服务器。
对于商家而言,这么几年一直低价销售机器,这里不去谈机器的性能(确实不怎么样),但是从实际的客户口碑,以及IP资源的管控,以及低价势必就是低利润,然后给予用户的服务体贴度肯定是不够的,这个也注定不长久的。我们可以看到一些商家或者常见的商家促销,低价或者亏本,势必是可以引起用户关注和用户量,但是后续的稳定客户和维持利润率是需要考虑的。这个也给我们用户选择便宜VPS商家,以及商家希望低价促销提的醒。
