Just giving everyone a heads up

Do to changing events in my life it has been decided that I will be shutting down my hosting company.

Effective today all invoices will be closed and all services will be set to expire in 30 days. Please backup your information and find alternative hosting. Colo clients will be handed off to QuadIX unless they wish to have hardware returned.

Any issues please open a support ticket on our main website.

It was 4 years of fun :)

    How are your clients going to see this thread?
    Why not send out an email to people who actually have service with you instead of posting it here!?!
    Or post this on your main page?

    I am pretty sure he sent out e-mails? If he didn't, yeah, it'd be really stupid.

  • I sent emails

    Two /20s

  • Site's alexa rank is 4million+ so it must not be having much clients.

    I will give you $50 for your whole company. I am after the brand name. Sell the /20s to someone else.

  • BradyHBradyH Member, Host Rep

    Did you not looking into just selling and doing it that way instead of just closing down all together.

    Hey guys, Alexa rank == Customers!

    Alexa rank tells estimated no. of visitors everyday.

    In theory.

    In practice, it's about as accurate as the Nielsons. All it tells you is how many people Alexa scammed to install their toolbar.

    BTW, are there any Black Fox customers here? I'd never heard of them until they were going out of business.

    The lack of reactions probably means his client base is really small.

  • lazytlazyt Member

    Or not from LET.

    Then why did he make an LET announcement?

  • I'm guessing those people don't pay attention to the Discord because I'm quite active on that

  • Also yes I'm located in the quadix dc that's why I said that about Colo.

  • lazytlazyt Member

    They did a few offers here back in 2014 2015 .

    I found several clients that was buying up mostly all my resources so I decided not to do VPS sales because it's easier to deal with 10 to 20 large customers then over 500 small ones

  • lazytlazyt Member

    Isn't that the truth!

    Yeah, why is everyone offering VPS so cheap here? To get clients? Do you think this will work in the long run when you have employees getting less salary and huge no. Of clients which are capable of getting the salary of just 1-2 employees.
    Offer a reasonable price and not something too cheap.
    (Yes, this does frustrate me too as morons come to me a saying this host is giving a VPS for this much price. Your price is more)
