Today, 4 days after the hacker attak my VPS is still offline. Is there no lack of effort?
Okay, Vaserve not able to restore my old VPS, but I really need my new VPS now.
Two days ago they told "We will aim to have all new servers up within 6 hours at the latest, of course providing no new issues occur.".
Now, two days after this message, where is my VPS up? Or new issues occured? Vaserve status page is not freshed.
I am a costumer of FsckVPS (sister company of Vaserv) and I am one of the unlucky guys who has 100% data loss on his VPS.
Unlucky, because not every FsckVPS (and Vaserve) server and VPS have data loss. And unlucky, or idiot, because I have an outdated
backup only on my local hard disk.My fresh backup was stored on the server.
But, if I would not be so idiot and I would have a fresh backup on my local hard disk or on a remote backup server, what could I do now? Nothing, because all destroyed
servers are still offline, offline 3 days after the hacker attack.
Vaserv's costumers typically are not large enterprises, but micro companies, small teams, one man projects without sufficient financial and human resources.
Just that is why they choose Vaserv's cheap VPS solutions, or at least I choosed FsckVPS for that reason. And just because of small budget I don't able to maintain other
VPS as a backup server, and just because of small budget I maintain unmanaged server.
I usually work alone on my projects, sometimes I get some help from other people, but usually don't. So I am the businessman, the marketing guru, the
SEO expert, the copywriter, the designer, the webmaster and the system admin in one body. I have not enough time, energy to execute everything perfectly, so I haven't got a fresh backup to my local hard disk before this hacker attack happened. I suck this now.
I wanted to tell this story from my own perspective, because more people ask here and on other forums, who are such stupid guys, who have not got a fresh backup to their own hard drive? I am!
Sorry if my english is not perfect, but I am from Hungary.
P.S. Since my vps and websites are still offline I started a blog about this hacker story http://laja404.blogspot.com/
