They only rent servers, nothing is owned. They use Enzu/BudgetVM for the majority of their locations which is incredibly cheaply priced.
A lot of the owners/workers were based out of India meaning a livable wage is very low, making $1000/m in India is a fairly high paying wage all considering.

Someone always learns to skip the hard way.
because many people assume it is sustainable and sign up on yearly or longer deals, which gives them enough to survive until they run out of these customers.
If a restaurant was offering a yearly deal, 3-course meals ever day for 1 payment of $50 p/year, you might question the quality of the food or how long that would last, sooner or later they would run out of 'new' customers and boom.. running at a loss.
That is just the way of the world though if it is cheap people will buy it usually without questioning the bigger picture.
It's almost summer! And I was the lucky winner of that auction...
Received this emailed just now although i am not an active client.
Not that cheap though.. Those servers are pretty expensive there.
Check budgetVM, same group.

The title makes it sound like they are closing for good. Looks like a title change is required.
Done.
TBH that isn't a very high wage if you're living in the largest cities, considering you need good internet connectivity and office space. If you live in smaller cities that's an extremely good wage but internet connectivity is mostly unreliable.

If they work from home it's not that big of a deal, save some cash

Thats the case Actually. A lot of my friends work from home as freelancers and make upwards of $xxxx from home. Internet is quite affordable these days.
Only the strong survive in this marketplace.

Fuck you very much.

The Shopping Cart displays this when I apply the above promo code:
"The promotion code you entered has been applied to your cart but no items qualify for the discount yet - please check the promotion terms"
Nothing like working from home! Your business attire consists of sweatpants and flipflops
Interestingly, I was able to install Moodle onto my DreamHost account and restore the original site without incident. Not sure what the previous issue was. THat said, I'm still looking for a VPS solution, so I'll review the above info. Thanks!
Did you select a storage server? The promotion does not apply to them.
Pants? Fucking casuals I swear.

Don't we know it :P
