High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
Yes it was finished just u had to finish the ftp users I went to sleep and if i woke up everything was away, no database, no servers, no access to SSH/SFTP and u blocked my IP adress so i cant reach the connection. But never mind you lost 6 hours of work not me. I already reinstalled the VPS
Banned forever. Reason: Scamming (https://builtbybit.com/threads/kuky22-scam-report.617135/)
I was going to say something when you said "Completed the task, waiting for payment" but decided to wait for it. Always, and I mean always take payment first. As they haven't paid you, you're completely free to "remove your work" and reset/wipe the VPS if you still have logins and if they don't have sensitive/not replaceable data. You should make a scam report, document everything, and take screenshots of DMs.
If you did not scam, then handle this with the SysAdmin who did the work, DM them and get it solved. There's no reason why you should just go to sleep without telling your sysadmin and not paying them.
Fox, thank you for your support.
And I can easily understand that noone would give my payment first. That's why I decided to go other way and left a kind of backdoor to be safe in case something goes wrong. And Kuky was told that the main queue is:
I setup everything -> he is given access to check if it is ok -> he pays -> I give full access -> he changes passwords, etc, both happy.
And I even went to low price to minimize the risk of scam, because you are more likely to pay that instead of having problems.
But what happened: I setup everything -> he is given access -> he (or his co-owner, still another ip) tries to change all passwords, that should stop my access to server.
Yes, when I realized that, I went through the backdoor and tried to stop your access to the work I did. There was no other way you should change the passwords before you checked everything, so that means the work was done and you didn't pay. Kuky was still offline in discord, but someone was changing ips trying to get to the server and avoid my restrictions. So I saw noone was going to contact me and extracted all the config and deleted all the work, because I realize he will get the access eventually.
And then he contacted me, saying it's not him, it was a co-owner who did this and said "you lost everything, I lost nothing, someone other will do the work".
And speaking about putting backdoor, I know it's bad but I don't have any motives to keep it when I get money for the time and effort I spent. And mainly it was done because of not 'money first'.
I am experienced enough to know that but I hope you can understand me that I came across this forum and created account and saw the work I can do. So I had zero reputation in terms of minecraft server establishing (because as a linux sysadmin, it doesn't matter at all, what to install and configure).

Yes, I did that, still moderating. I posted here so people won't fall for this. If you need any proofs, I extracted the logs and have them, they are in scam thread.

If you're just starting out, do free work. Then, you'll be known enough that people will go first with you. In SysAdmin work, even if you are a fresh account, you take the money first. Also, uhm why in the fuck are you backdooring people's systems? Like, that's so fucking shady. Large, well-known people have been banned for backdooring systems. Never, and I mean NEVER backdoor a system. Just take payment first, do your work, and give them logins. After that, the client is responsible for what happens.
