few people already gave you suggestions already,
The best thing you can help many people in this situation would be pay for next one month services so people will have more time to move their sites etc.
if you want to keep it long term (i.e. help people who didn't migrate yet)
then people like me who migrated can delete our services so you can pay less, again all you are doing is just charity, unless you want to get into hosting biz.
@MikePT
I greatly appreciate your hard work and dedication to keep things alive for as long as possible. I am sorry that it ended like this.
Respect for the timely communication and updates.
Wishing you the very best for your job search and future projects.
I'm okay with that.
I'm okay with that.
I bought few in 2020 so I got my money's worth, but it really sucks for people who bought it this year and can't get a refund. I feel like those people should be helped first.
If there's someone I trust with client data, that's you.
PM'ing you.
@MikePT
The service was quite stable. How about giving an option to all the lifetime customers to switch to paid plans. I have a lifetime plan and I would be willing to switch to paid plan to keep the service going... food for thought. Just accept that lifetime was not practical and you can no longer honor it and see how many customers are willing to go paid.
@jar if you are going to takeover, consider the same.
I'm fine, I just need a job, seriously. I've worked in myself a lot in the last months to recover from the break-up.
Oh yes, I remember that very well, it was hell amazing!!!
I'll be discussing this with @jar today - we'll keep you posted guys
Sucks as I signed up in this year for lifetime.
We'll get you squared away. I'm getting lunch and I've got a warranty appointment at Best Buy, then I'll try to help Mike here get everything settled before the end of day. I assume I won't be cutting shutoff times that close.
same, i'll glady accept it as i really likes the service.
@NameCrane @labze refugee offers?
Sure. Check the announcements section of LET. You will see a thread there. Here is a link: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/197792/myw-refugee-offers#latest
If still needed I can sponsor a (or two) decent dedicated servers (Ryzen 9 with 128/192GB RAM) in Germany until the end of the year and also some storage space (10-15TB) for backups, in case let me know via PM! @MikePT
I think there are enough providers here that can help you by giving you servers for free until you get back on track, but in my opinion, you should put an expiration date on lifetime plans for new customers, maybe even a long one but an expiration date is needed.
@MikePT can you please tell how much time we have till server shutdown?
Currently i am out of town i hope we have atleast a week.
It's either less than 8 hours (being liberal about time) or no less than a year if all goes fine.
This most likely is something Mike doesn't know either, as he is in talks with @jar about postponing the shutdown.
I'm sorry, @MikePT to read that and I sincerely wish you well and a new job very soon.
Hey jar, thank you so much for looking up something with MikePT, all customers we are will appreciate a better issue for sure ˆˆ. Being an MXRoute customer on an amazing recurring discount I can only imagine how powerful can be a partnership or whatever it is with MyW
.
Germany? If so: no worries
Took the 50% discount and moved most of my data to Namecrane. Softaculous is not letting me create backup for one app because of expired license.
Is it a race condition or what?
People had fun with this glitch in the past. I don't know the details, but @emgh and a few others most likely know what it's about.
I’ll sell the exploit to the highest bidder
I paid 120 euros in Sept 2023 for a lifetime account and now after one year - its gone. I haven't even used it. WTH.
That sucks, honestly. Did you at least learn anything out of it?
Pretty sure it's something minor @NameCrane can fix, open a ticket in your customer portal they answer quick
.
Yes, lifetime offers are a gamble. They may last 100 years or 10 days. Better off spending money elsewhere. But we love to gamble, don't we?
Now where's the nearest bar around here...
