北京时间2021年06月30日08:10,由于Spearware Networks LLC老板Michael Spears在双方谈判协商过程中隐瞒了部分事实,收购方Slacker Networks已终止了协议!具体查看链接,重要内容如下(简单翻译):
如果您在Spearware Networks的坦帕有任何服务,我建议直接与Michael Spears联系,或者为您的服务寻找新商家。也可以提供帮助将您的数据迁移到BuyVM,但只能按BuyVM现有的VPS在售方案来提供服务。请联系BuyVM并提供您的VPS的IP,我们会确认并发送VPS备份到BuyVM的迈阿密节点。
如果您在蒙特利尔有服务,请直接与Slacker Networks联系,我们会将您转移并按照之前Michael Spears的定价/计划给您,此外还为您造成的不便提供三个月的免费服务。
我衷心祝愿所有参与者一切顺利,我对我们未能完成此次收购深表遗憾。
北京时间2021年06月29日05:51,Spearware Networks LLC的老板Michael Spears在国外知名主机交流论坛(LET)发布公告,大意就是Spearware Networks LLC的VPS业务被加拿大商家Slacker Networks收购!
有趣的是06月22日有网友在LET上发布评论称Michael Spears之前的公司是因为短时间扩展太快导致运营失败,看到新公司同样的扩展趋势表示很担忧(*2020底成立,2021年2月17日发布美国佛罗里达坦帕的VPS,6月22日宣布扩展到加拿大蒙特利尔)。Michael Spears在06月23日给该的回复中还信誓旦旦的说公司有钱,不缺资金;我之前是犯过错误,但这次不会再次犯错;你这是恶意攻击。
公告全文如下(附简单翻译):
Spearware Networks LLC has reached an agreement for our VPS hosting offerings in Tampa, FL and Montreal, QC to be acquired by Slacker Networks.
//Spearware Networks LLC已就Slacker Networks收购我们在佛罗里达州坦帕和魁北克省蒙特利尔的VPS托管服务达成协议。
This was not an easy decision to make. As some of you may be aware, a few members of my wife’s family are suffering some severe health issues that’s taking up a large percentage of my time. As a result, customers have had to wait extended periods of time for support, which was not my intent.
//这不是一个容易做出的决定。正如你们中的一些人可能知道的,我妻子的一些家庭成员正在遭受一些严重的健康问题,这占用了我很大一部分时间。因此,客户不得不等待较长时间的支持,这不是我的意图。
On the brighter side of things, we are not closing our doors for all services. We will continue to offer colocation services to current and future customers.
//从光明的一面来看,我们并没有关闭所有服务的大门。我们将继续为当前和未来的客户提供托管服务。
As part of this acquisition, the service locations and hardware will not be changing. Tampa customers will remain in Tampa, Montreal customers will remain in Montreal.
//作为此次收购的一部分,服务地点和硬件将不会改变。坦帕的客户将留在坦帕,蒙特利尔的客户将留在蒙特利尔。
I will be employed by Slacker Networks to ease the transition and assist throughout the next few months to make this as seamless as possible.
//我将受雇于Slacker Networks,以简化过渡,并在接下来的几个月内协助实现尽可能无缝的过渡。
I would like to thank all customers for their patronage and support throughout this time. Rest assured, you will continue to receive the highest quality of support and service throughout this transition and going forward.
//在此,我要感谢所有客户的惠顾和支持。请放心,在整个过渡期和未来,您将继续获得最高质量的支持和服务。
Below is a message from Slacker Networks on the acquisition, and I must say — they have some pretty awesome things lined up for VPS customers!
