Last night I got an email from the company I host PirateCraft with that they are shutting down immediately, no warning, out of the blue, no options, No money back.
You may already know of the issues I have had with this useless host, Trouble with technical & customer support from.
Within a minute of reading the email I logged into PirateCraft and backed up everything, Plugins, Configs, PirateCraft World, MySQL stats, So we will not loose anything apart from the live map, It was about 20,000 files to download. I will need to find another host asap so we are ready for 1.7.2 when it finally drops.Naming and Shaming
I have been working with hosting companies for 10 years, Not once have I dealt with such idiotic, unreasonable, childish, technologically retarded hosting company as I did with

What takes the biscuit, I paid for Novembers hosting on November 5th and out of the blue they shut down.
The world backup is from November 11th, anything you do in the live world since then will not be saved when we change hosts.
Info: PirateCraft world is 2.02GB Compressed, 3.62GB UN-compressed.This “company” has done nothing but piss on its paying customers, on the 25th August they emailed its customers telling us about their brand change http://eepurl.com/EbWxr
My initial reaction was positive, bigger better things, how I was wrong, so very wrong.
This changeover for some reason needed new hardware to work, Ok.. You will be given a new IP.
A new IP for an IP driven community, this is the ONE thing that you do not want to change when hosting a game server, instantly butcher the entire community.
My Transfer Window for the server migration was set at 00:00 — 7:00 GMT. 7 hours is ridiculous down-time, but alas I cannot do anything about this.
In reality I was locked out of PirateCraft and the server was down for 7 days, Butchering the community completely, I Did not get any compensation and was not reimbursed the money I lost.
A few weeks later a site wide Password resets due to lack of security.
1.6.4 drops, and It will not run on their hardware without crashing.
They close, just after collecting everybody’s monthly payments.Topic: PirateCraft Skins
Topic: Recent Downtime & Updates
The reason for the recent downtime is because my hosting provider decommissioned the server hardware that PirateCraft was hosted on, I had little time to react as they sent me the email at 21:50 Thursday night! Only 2 days later they took down the PirateCraft, Assured from the email it would take 60 Minutes maximum to transfer over data to the server server and here we are 2 days late with no live server, No new IP, I can’t login to any control panel/FTP , totally locked out.
I have been in a very long ticket conversation with support but their unprofessional answers & lack of support and communication is starting to worry me.I am still waiting for a reply.
