    LET Admins / community should get together and buy them, and re-sell their services at a normal price so we can all benefit.

  • EIG is a fail.
    I hope Godaddy doesn't buys it. Or it will not since KKR (one of the investor) has sold EIG in 2011.
    If not GD, who will buy? Amazon? Google?

  • addition: Or…EIG can offer SSD harddrives, faster machines and include backup procedures upon which customers can actually rely to become profitable and not need to sell at all.

    Agreed. Their VPS prices are bonkers too. I always get a good laugh in looking at hostgator's vps page :joy:

  • I was BlueHost's customer some 10 years back when it was a private company having dc in Utah. It was good and reliable. but that's a history.

    A new dawn draws near.

    EIG has been a WSS in webhosting industry.

    What if OVH buy them?

  • armandorgarmandorg Member, Host Rep

    EIG, the most oversold hosting company, with all it's brand. I cannot name a brand of them that does not have oversold host and extreemly slow servers.

    Besides EIG, Hostinger comes next. All it's brands aswell.

  • May Be OVH

  • I'm wondering who might actually buy it that would be worse.

    if you play the cards right , the branding alone will fuel profits.
    flip it when the time is right ,
    call it a day and drink ice lemon tea to death.

    im in. hope i do not have to sell my kidney to chip in.
