[SLUG] Exigent closed following RAID crash?

2011-10-12 Thread Jim Donovan
Exigent  used to offer Linux virtual servers for $8/month.

They had a RAID array fail late in July and I don't know how much they lost on 
it.

Does anyone know whether they're still in business? Their website 
http://www.exigent.com.au is still there but live chat to their support team 
doesn't work nor do they answer tickets. Their phone is still connected but you 
don't get to a human operator.

Thanks,

Jim Donovan

My VPS is up still, although that subject line scared me. :p

Luckily mine wasn't on the host that failed, but they offer a local
unmetered backup service now, for $. :/

They say Good, fast, cheap. Pick any two. I'm not so sure about
getting the full two here.
