Anyway, I fail to grab any offers better than c1v's.

There are better offers, but it is ok if you are with c1v quality. As long as you are happy, nothing else matters.

Not again, man. I've asked you many times where the "better offers" were,
but you wouldn't disclose where we can buy those "better offers".

I have just posted another YABS for another low price VPS (10 euro/year)

@c1vhosting said: I have updated your old IPv4 as you pasted it here

and after clicking reconfigure network I had to fix stuff manually. Fun stuff.

HINT: If you give someone IP from 5.59.249.[129-255] don't set network mask to 25 if default route is via 5.59.249.1. It's different network.

No idea how you managed to broke autoconfigure to even do this.

If you would like to request a customized IP change, please open a ticket within 5 days at the following link:

@c1vhosting What is a customized IP change? Is that just a pre-arranged date or something else?

Would have been nice to have had an answer, 'if you would like' and 'customized' now seem more like 'mandatory' and 'required'

the old IP address is no longer operational. The new IP has been activated only for those who have requested it.

It's simple: for some reason our kid can't have that original IP range anymore and asked his mom for a new one. But he has to migrate all current users to the new range. Every descent provider would allocate new IPs to users and communicate with the customers that they'd have a grace period in which both are available. Not Luca. His "AI" came up with another solution: let the users ask for it with a grace period. Trouble is: almost nobody asks. So AI came up with a solution: mess up connectivity to the old range so people are more willing to ask. And AI also mentioned that that would be a very good scheme, because every user not being able to use the service is potential money to be made.

This sounds like: I sold hosting services to you, but at some point, I decided to sell your IPs to someone else to cover garage DC rent. If you really want a new IP, please request it - otherwise, you won't have one.

That’s exactly the strategy in my opinion
And since its services are unstable, very few people were motivated to apply. I didn't.
For me at this stage it becomes a scam. I'm not going to be tolerant again.

Hello,

Thanks for recommending, but the provider account was registered in this May and has only 16 comments so far, with no discussions.

I'm not 100% or even 80% sure, but C1V has joined this forum for more than 2 years. I will leave your recommendation untouched, wait until at least 2026 to see if that account is still active then.

That is entirely your choice.
As long as you are happy with your c1v vps, no need to look for any alternatives.

My impression is that he is doing exactly that for quite a few months now... Both without real success though.
