WootHosting、AlphaRacks都曾被网友戏称为“四大金刚”（关于“四大金刚”，每个人定义似乎都有所不同，大意是指依靠超售获得低价市场的商家，通俗而广义的“金刚”可以包括WootHosting、AlphaRacks、HostMyByte、NFPhosting，Hiformance（倒闭）和Virmach），最近官宣的消息，AlphaRacks收购了WootHosting，后者将合并到前者的品牌，至于是福是祸，大家拭目以待吧。
AlphaRacks收购WootHosting
WootHosting邮件原文：
Dear WootHosting Customer, We are pleased to announce today that WootHosting has been acquired by AlphaRacks. AlphaRacks is a premium IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) provider based in Los Angeles, CA.

AlphaRacks算是在廉价VPS界非常出名的一家国外VPS服务商了，也是大家所熟悉的“四大金刚”之一，就在两个月前，还因为金刚合体的新闻而引起业界不小的讨论，当时官方还信誓旦旦地宣传了一波。不过由于这段时间以来的持续问题，这家终于因为“入不敷出”而倒下了，官方宣称的原因是因为“产能”和财力流通不足而导致无法担负灾难恢复的问题。不过无论如何，作为价格屠夫，他的出现还是给业内的价格带来了不小的冲击，同时我们也可以看到像这类以价格取胜的小商家确实能够在短时间内获得一定的用户群，但在面对经营风险时确实也存在相当的问题，所以大家在购买时要多多权衡利弊。
AlphaRacks宣布倒闭
邮件原文（去除AFF链接）：
After over a decade in business we regret to inform you that AlphaRacks is officially closing its doors. Given the recent outage that exceeded the provisions and financial capabilities of our disaster recovery plan, AlphaRacks will no longer be providing services. We were a budget focused VPS provider, which did not leave room for additional options financially within our disaster recovery plans. We have contacted various different VPS hosting companies to attempt to establish a transfer agreement that is in accordance to our privacy policy. In addition, some of the below providers have reached out to us offering assistance / credit for our customers. Below are other budget VPS providers that should provide you with a suitable new home for your VPS needs: DigitalOcean Dr Server Altus Host PSK Hosting VirMach We would like to thank our customers for a great decade of your Business and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Sincerely, AlphaRacks Management.
