Downtime-ness
For the lovely few who end up reading this, this is largely a depressing rant which will probably want to drive you away from reading any further.

Still with me?
Okay...

SolusVM, the, what I recently discovered, WTFBarbecue coded piece of poo poo which a lot of VPS providers use, had an exploit (which I would be no longer surprised at), which some people decided to use against the host to make things painful for everyone.
No seriously, if you know some PHP/MySQL, take a look at this: http://localhost.re/p/solusvm-11303-vulnerabilities  I can't believe people write this sh*t.

Anyway, the host decided to take us down, and haven't yet come back up after days of pestering and offering free cookies and them making promises to be back online.
So I did the thing that anyone with a working brain would do and moved to a different provider.

Though I've found out that I'm an idiot for not having a backup of the server config, so hopefully this new server is set up fine.
I also have no idea how good this server is, so wee'll have to see.

Sorry for the downtime folks.  Let's hope this doesn't occur too often...

SolusVM is pretty much an overly glorified chroot. Xen is much better.

I think you're confusing SolusVM with OpenVZ.  SolusVM is just a panel.
