Received this email last night, seems Jack is already posting offers today to revive his business (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1271658).

Personally I think this is a good approach since the original exit plan were there because of rampant DDOS attacks to UK providers, however this has become a part of history now and I think the UK servers have been quite stable without DDOS attacks lately. Congrats on the move Jack!


Here is the email:



Firstly I'd like to thank everybody for their continued support and custom.


Over the past two Months DotVPS has been working with the HTTP Group in regards to their purchase of this company.



We have always had a strong vision of how we run and how we would like the DotVPS brand to continue, this includes the level of service and internal infrastructure.



Due to how strongly we care for our customers any deal had to be worked around terms which allowed DotVPS management to remain in place and our vision continued.



During the final stages of negotiation it became apparent that HTTP Group were not able to adhere to terms being set our by our management and eventually the decision was made to cancel the agreements we had in place.



Fortunately due to the "merger" processes we had in place we are easily able to operate under the DotVPS once again and all relevant changes have.



DotVPS and HTTP Group would like to apologise for any confusion or inconvenience caused by this situation, however we can promise that DotVPS is in a stronger position now than before the sale talks took place and we will continue to offer a great service and awesome pricing.



Thank you,
Jack Sephton

But they are probably planning to sell again from the wording correct?

No, from my understanding they needed DDoS protection due to the constant DDoS but since the storm has stopped it was no longer needed.

HTTPZoom didn't have DDoS protection but Jack wanted to experiement with if it would have a difference with DDoS as HTTPZoom were probably a little more experienced but it didn't work out when they started working together. Also, it wasn't really a full takeover as such.

From what I understand, he still had access to everything and they were more or less an extra set of hands on deck.

Pretty much, yes. There was some sort of 50:50 profit agreement or something of the sorts too but it didn't work out, I think it was more like they didn't think they could work together well.
