So the jist of the thread is that we give out VPS’s instead of Dedicated servers? In this single case yes we did. Client was originally setup on a dedicated server, however after hitting the bandwidth limit on that server and many crashes we mirrored his data to a vps after many complaints from the client. We did on behalf of the client and in his best interest. We figured he could then take full advantage of the 1gb line he would be on and use the full amount of bandwidth. CPU was also scalable for him so his server would be more stable. We wanted him to be able to atleast use his server in his one month contract with us. So after all this work we did in the best interest of this client our dc reports to us that he is using 50-80mb/s most of the time so we have a look and it turns out the client is using the server to send out hundreds of thousands of useless packets (probably a dos attack) so we shut his server down due to breaking our AUP. Even if we kept him on his server and it continued to crash daily he would have still been breaking our AUP and we would have still shut his server down. He was moved to a vps just so he would be more stable. There is nothing more to this story, we did what was in the best interest of the client and we don’t provision vps’s for dedicated servers. End of story.
