Anyone Know What Happened With Arvixe?

When everyone is talking about Arvixe issues, I also curious and look it up on google. And see what is displayed on the first page of google.

Arvixe Issues

Arvixe is one of the major hosting companies. No wonder the number of its customers are many. No wonder this also causes them often condemned. But what happened recently is different. Not just a small problem. These issues have occurred since EIG bought Arvixe.

What is EIG?

From WikiPedia.org I found that, about EIG (Endurance International Group)

Endurance International Group, Inc. (EIG), formerly BizLand, is a web hosting company. The company was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts. It achieved its size by acquiring a large number of smaller companies, which it continues to operate under the original brand names.

I found out in an another thread that Arvixe got bought out by EIG on October 31, 2014; here is the article that confirms the acquisition.

On November 4th 2014 Endurance International Group (EIG) released its 2014 Third Quarter Results which contained reference to the purchase of Arvixe on the 31st October 2014:

“During the quarter, the company acquired Webzai, Ltd. and the assets of BuyDomains. In addition, on October 31, 2014, the company acquired the assets of Arvixe, LLC. The total consideration for these acquisitions is expected to be approximately $77 million.”

Arvixe was owned by Arvand Sabetian and Avanquest North America Inc, and the purchase price is likely to be significant. We have confirmation that Avanquest has also sold its 50% share in the company via Reuters.
