As of the 17th of July, ghostbox.cc seems to be completely down, no ping, no website, bounces when writing to postmaster@ghostbox.cc. Stay away from this provider, even if they come back up. Their failure to notify users of issues via outside control channel is unacceptable. Regretful that I actually sent them Monero. Thankfully, it wasn't that much. Suggest making this provider as "Scam"

Recent outages have exceeded 3 days, a point at which your email address gets removed from subscriptions, so it's not acceptable as an email service I need to depend upon. Poor out of band service communication to subscribers is one reason I would not recommend this to anyone. Having said that, after two outages exceeding 3 days within one month, I have recently found the service to have stability for the last few weeks. I hope it keeps up and no more outages occur and I can begin to recommend this to friends.

Suggestion for Admin: Arrange a mailing list out of band (not on the same server, something like MailChimp) to notify users of outage, an explanation of what's happening and estimated repair time-frames.

Hi, ghostBox postmaster here. It's not a scam. I've been using a ghostBox address as my primary email address, so I'm in the same boat as every other user, and have the same desire for the server to come back online as soon as possible. However, I appreciate your caution and wouldn't trust just anyone on the internet either. When ghostBox went offline previously, I promptly contacted BuyVM because I couldn't restart the server, and they were able to resolve the issue in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the current outage is due to a relocation that I wasn't notified about in advance. Please read more about this on the website. Rest assured that user data is safe, as the disk is encrypted. I also have backups in place in case anything goes wrong.
