  • Take care and hope you'll find a new job soon.

    Thanked by 1MikePT
  • Wow, the SG was insanely fast for my small website, sad to hear this.
    But I think 15 Eur from 2023 worth 1 year 9 months.

    Any cheap alternative to the service?

    And my 3 lifetimes went to dust - $150 down the drain, I'll survive but I can't say I'm not disappointed - didn't even get around to using it for a single site ever released to the public - not that I would use it for production but just didn't feel like I got anything near the investment.

    P.S I really trusted the moderator tag. I'm not saying Mike isn't a good person, I'm just saying I didn't expect this.

    First thing I done after posting was asking the Administration to remove my Moderator tag. I understand your concerns, and I agree that it's very disappointing.

    The SG server is pretty good, a 3900X, it's a nice performant server for sure.

    Note: It's provided by RansomIT, they're great people.

    I agree with you 100%. It was the same for me. I bought three Lifetime Resellers and didn't use one of them properly.

    @MikePT Really appreciate your hard work and dedication to keep things alive for as long as it did. Sorry it had to end like this. I wish you the very best moving forward 🚀

    Their pricing for servers on homepage is very high. Wish they have small servers with comfortable price for me to move my things to :(

    Sorry for that, really...

    Check your firewall settings or use a VPN, it's working in my end and I see in the backup tasks people creating backups.

    It was an experience, and to be honest, I had a lot of fun for 5 amazing years, with the best LET, LEB, LES and HostBalls clients ever. I also had a great community of Chinese clients that never created a SINGLE issue.

    Do contact them, we've always asked for custom quotes for most of our infrastructure :)

    @trewq is here as well.

    I invested €275 in lifetimes with him. I wanted to help the guy on his occasions: marriage, child, anniversary, and so on. Obviously I did not need the hosting plans, since mostly these were just idling.

    I don't regret losing an investment. Money is just money after all. For some reason though I feel sad for him as an entrepreneur, for not being able to end up on top with a successful business even though there were so many funds from so many customers.

    Rather than migrating people where it wouldn't work for the business that would acquire us, we're just closing shop, there are far better providers, for example, NameCrane @NameCrane , ExtraVM @MikeA, GreenCloudVPS @NDTN , @SGraf , @host_c, @kuroit

    These are awesome providers our clients can trust.

    Trust me, I had great plans for MyW, and the new server's infrastructure was pretty much ready to launch, but I couldn't make it in time, I then lost my full-time job and have been jobless for a month and a half... I'll just give up from creating any business, and work for others instead. As en entrepreneur, I had mxroute.io succeed, and a few other very small (not IT related) ventures, but that's it.

    I thank you very much for having bought the lifetimes from MyW, and am sorry it turned out to close shop.

    How much money do you need to keep it alive until the end of the year?

    Until the end of the year?

    A lot... :-), we're talking of around 800-900€/mo for the full infrastructure.

    so how do you plan to refund at least those who did not even use 1 year? Dont you think that would be fair?

    do you plan to make some kind of payment plan or what?

  • I just want to understand it properly: If you could bridge the time until your new full-time job, would you continue with this project?

    @MikePT MyW's hosting was as good as some of those $50/m Managed WordPress Hosting companies.
    Thanks for providing a good, stable lifetime service for half a decade.
    I hope conditions get better for you soon.

    Why should he? It's like the stock market, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

    @Calin, help out @MikePT with those $22.5K. :wink:

  • @MikePT said: While I appreciate it, I'm a 34 year old adult, and I should be responsible for the mess I create.

    The last job I had, I lost it due to my stupidity - losing the job, now MyW and everything because I just can't handle everything financially wise, no source of income.

    Hey mate, watch out you mental health! This is a warn sign as everything is falling appart at this time. Everything falling always come up stronger later! Hope you will recover, take care of yourself, one step at a time. Good luck MikePT!

    Adding that I'm part of most people here: we still want you around and I'll also add I wish to see you coming back with a new adventure with more "lesson learned" secured offers ˆˆ. I understand for now it's all negative and you are pretty sure you will not come back as provider, which is valid as well :).

    Thanked by 1MikePT
  • I heard Calin has a spare $20k lying around.

    Jokes aside, wish you all the best. Had a few lifetime deals myself but was always aware they would be hard to sustain in current market conditions. Very few are competing on price anymore.

    What % did you generate towards this on a monthly basis from current customers? I’m assuming you didn’t take this decision lightly but 800-900€ seems very achievable surely you could of gotten help/investments to keep it afloat until you got your personal situation in a better place?

    Not a judgement just a thought, I wish you the best in the future, tough times don’t last forever!

    What’s the point of doing this if it hasn’t been really profitable even after all these years? What would a few more months change?
    If you need a full-time job to sustain another job, why would want that? To me, it would just seem like prolonged struggling, waiting for another shit to hit the fan.

    It seems to me the MAIN issue is the cost side of things.

    He had IP subnets, expensive servers, etc.

    At the same time, it seems most of the clients are either hosting small hobby stuff, or, aren't using it at all.

    I don't have any insider info here, but to me it seems like costs could have been cut SIGNIFICANTLY if done in time and maybe it would even have been possible to turn it around and have it generate a small side income.

    He probably had visions of doing something bigger with it, and when the job couldn't finance that anymore, he wasn't quick enough to adjust costs accordingly.

    Obviously, I've been wrong before. Could be wrong now as well.
