They did. They know nobody with common sense is gonna pay these prices for a standard VPS.
So he could disappear for a third time? :P
wow $29.99/m for 1GB RAM VPS !!!! Better get dedicated server with the same price
The price can get a so good kvm even a dedi.Byebye crissic.
It's part of Quadranet group now, glad to hear it.
Anyone really surprised? Come on! ;-) That was foreseeable!
There are companies in the "no-one ever got fired for choosing" category that could get away with charging enterprises this amount for an unmanaged service, but Crissic isn't one of them. There's no name-brand recognition among PHB types as there is with Rackspace, AWS etc.
I used to work at a place that paid Rackspace around $30 for VPSs that you could get even from a reputable non-LE company like Bytemark for around a third of the price. Perhaps that's the market they're aiming for - but they'll need to invest in all sorts of ancillary staff (sales, account managers, general random boss-schmoozers) etc to get there.
Just received an email this morning, quadrant allows me to renew my old dirty old crissic Vps. 100gb disk + 1 thread cpu + 512mb
Ram (I guess, haven't checked yet) for 13usd a year. Quite surprised as they decided to continue. Anyway, thanks quadrant and crissic.
At least there wasn't an official announcement on the boards of LET (that I'm aware of) because then all bets would be off on how delusional these people are.
Well its "Premium", thats why you pay moah.
When I think of Crissic I picture an old musky closet that smells like dirty socks and has shoe boxes with old servers shoved in them and a sign on the closet that says "Dirty filthy LET users" and a chalkboard next to the sign with the number of IPs owned and how many dirty LET customers they have left to get rid of.
I'm guessing Quadranet keeps that closet somewhere in the basement of the datacenter .
For $10 more you can just get one of Quadranet's $39 dedicated servers instead of their $29.99/month VPS.
I'm still waiting for a Quadranet rep to post here so we can laugh at them.
I'm sure Quadranet has a logical reason behind the extremely high prices, then again I don't. 1GB/$30 maybe they just messed up on the prices and added one to many zeros.
Why the heck should anyone go with Crissic for those specs and cost at 30$?
Knownhost for 35$ has a managed vps with equal share to 24 cores, 1.5 GB ram, 25GB SSD and 5TB bandwidth! Or Linode's plan with 2 GB RAM, 2 cores, 48 GB SSD, 3 TB bandwidth on a 250 Mbps port costs 20$ per month.
Really, what makes Quadranet think they are better in any way than Linode or Knownhost?
So then this happened lol!
Get over it, @thagoat
Ummm get over what?
About breaking the TOS and try to make another stsin in Crissic. You also wanted to cancel it, so,just let it go
Whatever dude. Just showing the relationship. Maybe you should
lol, I,was just pointing how inmature you look. Have "fun" haha
One would imagine that is because they are longer targeting the LEB market.
A better question is which market are they targeting. Personally i don't think they are targeting any. You can find by far better services with do, vultr, linode, or just buy a dedicated service at that pricing. Not to mention you would get more bang for the buck at those providers.
People that will pay that much. But that's neither here nor there given the name of this forum . . .
A wealthy, rich guy will pay for a ferrari lot of bucks. But he won't pay the same amount to get a fiat panda, just because he has money. He will pay what a panda really costs. So, whatever customer group the new "crissic" is targeting, no one will pay more for less, except if he has lack of knowledge AND the product is bombing clients with heavy advertisement. Do you think Crissic is soooo... well known outside LET market or trying to be popular?
These two quotes pretty much sum it up. Crissic is trying to cash in on brand equity which doesn't exist.
Yeah, I have nothing to do with, nor care about the rationale for, their pricing. Their success or failure . . . couldn't care less personally.
