Recently over on LowEndTalk, a user named @haolun posted a thread titled: “DediPath Closure Of Business“.
In which, he posted the following email he received from DediPath:

We are truly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. We appreciate your business and support over the years and this is heart breaking to everyone at DediPath.
Users were understandably skeptical of it being fake (which would mean the best-case scenario is the database being compromised).
However, previous downstream providers seemed to support the idea that DediPath was DediPooling, such as HostEONS:
Further, less than a month ago we covered EthernetServers moving from DediPath and suspecting a DediPool after their CTO Ernie left the company.
The Next Priority Was To Verify the Authenticity of the Emails
Another user @ceplavia provided the headers of the email:

Then later confirmed by both DediPath support and @Ernie himself, the former CTO of DediPath:
Unfortunately, this email is legit, and you have until the end of today (8/31/23) to move out of DediPath.
It is confirmed that DediPath has DediPooled. Best of luck migrating.

how can i download all my data while vps IP can’t access.
Can you guys use normal English instead of slang? I don’t know what “Dedipool” or “Dedipooling” means. Does it means that they try to pool as much customers as possible only to shut down?
Lol, insolvency. It’s our way of saying running out of money and having to shut down.
To anyone who has been affected by DediPath going out of business:
I will price match invoices from DediPath that you can provide for the last 2 months. We are a cloud provider that has recently made the move off of Dedipath due to issues with uptime. Their lack of ability to follow an SLA was causing issues with our customers. We are now in colocations that are SOC 2 Type 2 verified and follow strict procedures to achieve the advertised uptime.
We can GUARANTEE an uptime of 99.9%. However, uptime will most likely be more. If you have any questions, please reach out to sales@technolify.com.
Our website is https://technolify.cloud
apparently this is affecting NordVPN customers too
https://slickstack.io/forum/topic/dedipath-abruptly-shuts-down-shocking-customers
This is pretty bad news with very urgent annoucement. The provider was pretty decent and the prices were unbeatable. I was considering buying servers from them several time. Hope that all clients will be able to pull the backups and relocate to reliable host.
Are we allowed to write FUCK!!! on this forum? because FUCK!!!! FUCK!!! this is why my server has been unreachable for the weekend then… what a nice way to start my week.
Fuckers didn’t even send everyone an email notification. They sent me the invoice email and the ticket open confirmation but not the heads-up email.
Now I have to use old backups.
I moved to ReckNerd with a better price than I had on DediPath, I’m pretty satisfied with their service. Does anyone have any advice on my choice? Are they reliable?
Hi Rod — we appreciate your business and are glad to hear that you were able to succesfully migrate your services to RackNerd. I know the situation is tough, though you were fortunate to move.
Our service is solid, reputation is a reflection of our commitment and hard work. We take pride in the services we offer with a goal to grow with our customers and expand our offerings. If you ever need anything, we’ll be here to help.
May I ask how you contacted them? So far, they have not replied to my emails.
