I'm glad you remember :-P

Not CC? Now I'm amazed.
I was expecting it was another provider that bought VMBox. VMBox did a promo with 2GB RAM, 50GB drives, 5 IPV4's per VPS, and, get this, $20/year. If they get upgraded to OVZ7, they'll be my proudest scores ever.
AFAIK, VMBox was bought out by @qps. Quite certain that you will not have much to worry about.
VMBox had free IPs from QuadraNet in LA, so it worked for a while. But then QuadraNet started charging for IPs, so after we bought it we had to move everyone over to other IPs.
We will be announcing soon that the extra IPs won't be free once your prepaid time runs out.

So... I should prepay them for a few years?
Will you be upgrading them to OVZ7?
Heh, nice try.
Haven't decided. May go OVZ7 or KVM. We're still looking at the options to determine the best path forward.
