:2cents AlphaRed - Out of business

Just got the mail:

Quote:
This Morning December, 23 2008 at 9:30 AM CST, Alpha Red, Inc. entered Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Doug Brickley of LECG was appointed the Chapter 7 Trustee. The receiver's duties are to liquidate the assets of Alpha Red and collect past due balances from Alpha Red's current and former clients.

The business will not continue. All services including power, bandwidth, and technical support will be shutdown at 9:00 AM CST on December 24, 2008, tomorrow. We will begin shutting down servers this evening around 8:00 PM CST, December 23, 2008 starting with accounts which have outstanding/past due balances.

If you have paid your bill and are current, you may contact us at [email protected] or by phone: (713) 936-2388 to delay your shut-off time until 9:00 AM CST tomorrow morning.
Damn i'm lucky that i've moved to an other host..

Not a whole lot of notice, especially this time of year. I am sure there will be a few scrambling to get things moved

I think most people moved a few weeks back , but there will always be a few who missed it.
