Good eye
It’s not always easy, but it’s all about commitment. I’m a strong believer in being all in, especially when it comes to business.
Is there any vps gift, want to experience the speed of rn
I second this, wholeheartedly
Transfer imminent!
Congratulations @BarkingIron, you've finally earned it
I have unfortunately been forced to use mobile only for the last week. It's awful!
If you stick around, there will probably be more giveaways
One can hope, right?
4:51 am... oh well
As far as I can tell, the giveaway in this discussion is ongoing until January 17th, so I'd be pretty surprised if @dustinc didn't squeeze in a few more random giveaways before then
@dustinc Thank you!
Also thank you everyone who took the time to post a comment in support! Really appreciate it!
You tried.. and you got it. 👍
Why racknerd domain price $16.99 USD???
Can you be less specific on your question?
I don't know why I found that really humorous, but I did.
I have bought your service and I want double bandwidth.
My order ID:2390516308

Wish you a good business!
Thank you very much!
Hi @adanforest -- great catch! In regards to domains, we're not a direct domain registrar ourselves (and not many are) - when it comes to domains, we're a value added reseller. So this is based on our cost plus transaction fees (the pricing we charge for domains has proven to be a sweet spot for us). Today we target a lot of local businesses who are happy to pay our domain registration rates while benefitting from our service/support. For those who are cost conscious for domain registration, most commonly we find that they go directly to a domain registrar for that, and possibly even seek limited time promotions from these domain registrars from time to time. While on the other hand, some clients also find value in keeping everything under one roof/platform, and are happy to register the domain through us.
In addition, it should be said that domain registrars frequently raise their pricing (sometimes even annually). Therefore, barely making anything or trying to maintain pass-thru pricing would not look good for us, as we'd then have to extend those increases to our customers. As such, the domain pricing that we have is our sweet spot where our customers (especially local ones) want things up and running without having to be bothered with increases and things of that nature. Since the beginning of our business, we have yet to increase pricing on any existing customers/existing services. That's our goal as we understand the burden price increases puts on customers, so we try our best to maintain pricing for existing services and absorb whatever we can
We're always open to doing more giveaways, if there is demand
It's very possible - historically speaking, the Chef can be convinced by demand
Great work 👊
Hi @h20plusss -- We've gone ahead and doubled your bandwidth
Thank You for placing an order with RackNerd!
This right here is a huge one in keeping customers happy. I mean huge.
I've actually hurt my own business in the past by setting my initial price point too low and having to eat the cost for long time customers because I said here's the price and I stick to it. Changing it can make them lose trust, or even make them go elsewhere (even if "elsewhere" doesn't really save them money over the price increase). Stability is extremely important for a small business, especially early on.
So @dustinc, I say to you, excellent explanation, and I personally think you have the right idea/plan for sustaining a business. Although, I am not a professional
just a freelance tech guy.
@BlazinDimes -- Thank You
Our ultimate goal is to keep our customers happy, and reduce any burdens we possibly can. Our commitment and dedication is towards our customers, and our goal is to maintain a healthy, sustainable business with an excellent reputation for taking care of our customers.

I'm always much happier behind a keyboard, much faster than typing with my thumbs. Besides I miss all the good stuff on mobile unless I'm just staring at it lol
Another benefit of being on my computer?
