On LowEndTalk, there has been a great deal of discussion about the fate of HostSolutions:
In a nutshell, HostSolutions suffered some sort of massive disk array failure which wiped out service to 3,000 users. You can read the history in those threads, or in these alternate forms:
- LowEndBoxTV posted a detailed history called The Involucration Saga
- Or you can view the animated gif version on LowEndTalk
There has also been talk of a movie being made about it. We also previously interviewed Marius, HostSolutions’ owner.
Updates have been scarce but there have been various developments since our last update:
- Many more people are reporting their services are no longer responding
- Marius (the HostSolutions owner) has been selling gear on OLX
- More HS IPs are no longer being announced
- A company providing support services to HostSolutions has dropped them
So HostSolutions, what’s going on? The community is very disappointed at the poor way in which this has been handled, where a provider suddenly goes silent and now appears to be going out of business, owing a good deal of services unrendered to our readership.
We urge Marius to give folks an update, either here, on LowEndTalk, or your own announcements page.

I will never trust a Roman (gypsy) again after that.
Especially, when he tried to bill for VM way ahead of time, instead of 3 months period it started to bill every week.
WTF does it have to do with $subject? “ro” is TLD for Romania, where majority of people are Romanians (descendants of Thracians/Dacians etc). Gypsies are “Romani”, and they consitutute just about ~3% of population in Romania). And Romans (singl. Roman) were people of the ancient Rome.
Yeh, I meant Romanians, not Romans.
