Yes most likely so I offered 128 and 256 MB plans for under $3 or so and went through 176 IP's in less than 33 hours, so im sure they will cancel sooner or later unless they are getting some massive discounts on IP's < highly doubt but its possible. Although I have not cancelled my plans I have added flood control on them to limit the amount of IP's being used for them, they might possible just add some flood control to the packages.
As long as we have IPs, we're not cancelling the plans. Also, active users will keep them, as long as they pay.
BuyVM and RamNode will keep the active users too I guess
If there's a sensible business plan behind the 128/256MB plans, ask yourself whether a host would wish to gamble on a higher return rather than a more or less guaranteed return from existing customers.
One of the main costs will surely be marketing cost per customer acquired.
With the issue of the ipv4 exhaustion, I personally think that its just a matter of time. We've discarded the idea of offering it mainly because of this issue.
Yes this is so true.
I see the 128/256MB ridiculously cheap plans as a marketing strategy. It doesn't make sense to offer it just to directly make money, at least these days.
