Why candid hosting changed their name for powermedium?
 

I have there two servers with domains i bought recently. The hosting plan for two servers will be moved to my responsibility too. But whats strange, that with new contract they are trying to pushing me into 1-year term commitment for their servers. It seems to me really strange...

Does anyone know, why they have change their name from candidhosting to powermedium?

have a search, you'll find lots of info

Do not sign a contract and get out now.

changing name can't be a good sign.

yeah, already found out this:

i dont have enough time to move my servers(installing scripts which i dont know exactly a lot of other script stuff) unfortunately. i have to talk to them about different time contract.

:2 cents:

They were bought out by hostway a while ago.

Hit me up, I can get you moved fast so that you can cancel before entering your contract.

For those of you that know my history, this will be a powerful statement.

"RUN FROM CANDID. Grab your shit and go"

What (seriously) is wrong with Powermedium? I've been hosted with Candid about a year; maybe 6 months ago or so they changed the name. I haven't noticed anything different.

In all that time I have had excellent service and uptime. This is for self-managed hosting, so I really am not expecting anything other than stellar uptime. I monitor the 2 servers there with ipcheck, average downtime is about a minute a month, although once or twice a year I am seeing maybe 10 minutes of downtime.

Should I run? I'm not overly concerned, as all my servers are mirrored to different isps (I don't trust anybody) once per hour.

It might have been powerful if you would've provided some insight as to why you feel this way. I remember you used to work for them. What experiences or information do you have regarding Candid/powermedium, that would justify your comment?
