This record is 'dead' in the compute sense, meaning no capacity is purchasable at the domain, not that the domain is offline. Discovery lead, name-level only: 11 of the 69 catalog names return zero hits for that string anywhere under dossier/ - arionvps, skystark, landvps, kvmka, gbnhost, senko-digital, unlimit-space, sloud4box, vds-sh, wishhost, geo-hosting. watchlist.md warns that a slug and a brand name do not match, so that list is a lead to check by registrable domain, not a coverage gap. would-settle: who operates the domain now and whether it is the same entity as the.hosting. The strongest reading of the evidence is a rebrand that split the brands, and that is recorded as an inference, not as a measured fact, in the the.hosting finding.","extras":{"wave2":{"class":null,"free_tier_kind":"none","shape":{"vcpu":null,"ram_gib":null,"disk_gib":null,"gpu_class":null,"gpu_count":null}}}},"claims":[{"path":"$.free_tier.stated","kind":"free-quota","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"}],"unknown":[["$.free_tier.stated","partly-held"],["$.per_object_cap.notes","process"],["$.per_object_cap.stated","not-applicable"],["$.retention.notes","process"],["$.retention.stated","not-applicable"]],"history":[],"drift":[]},{"rid":"storage/pq-hosting-storage-vps","card":{"rid":"storage/pq-hosting-storage-vps","eid":"pq","topic":"storage","slug":"pq-hosting-storage-vps","provider":"pq hosting storage vps","url":"https://www.pq.hosting/storage-vps","domain":"pq.hosting","category":"rejected-provider","tier":null,"verdict":"dead","vorder":7,"grp":"dead","confidence":"reported","binding":"none","identity_kind":"email","identity_basis":"defaulted","needs_card":null,"needs_phone":null,"needs_id":null,"needs_institution":null,"country":null,"crypto":null,"interfaces":null,"egress_metered":0,"per_object_bytes":null,"retention_days":null,"verified_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00.000Z","verified_basis":"inherited","checked_on":"2026-10-21","stale_on":"2026-11-04","n_evidence":1,"usd_month":null,"usd_per_tb_month":null,"summary":"https://www.pq.hosting/storage-vps returned HTTP 404 through the reader.
