A wise man once told me not to sell VPS containers for €3.00 p/year
Also wise not to sell 512 windows servers for $1.75 p/month
P.s. I heard that same saying btw..... over a year ago
Heard you were going to start accepting peanuts soon?
Am i this wise man? Because i told people lots of things.

What kind of question is that!? of course.
If you're a kiddie host, then of course it's better to sell for much more money.
Simply PUMP AND DUMP ALL MONEY AND DEADPOOL IN A FEW MONTHS!
Why? The hosting sector is already very profitable even at rock bottom prices. The idea behind summer hosts is that you sell a large quantity of yearly plans, close sales, wait for 2 months (so your clients cant chargeback) and simply run.
About 6 weeks to go then?

Do you accept peanuts by mail or wire? I'd really prefer mail.
400 comments, congratulations everyone, we've passed a milestone - to 500 we go.
well lets do the numbers for fun (and profit)
€3.00 is around $4.10
you guys sell (sold) 512 for $1.75 p/month for 512, that is $21, then 512/128 = 4, 21/4 = 5.25, so you guys were selling @ $5.25 p/year per 128mb ram. (or €3.85) and you were giving IP's with that.
LES is €3.00 p/year for 128mb, €3.00 is around $4.10, $4.10/ 12 = 0.34 p/month per 128mb, no IPv4 cost at all and hosted on hardware from 4 - 5 generations ago i.e. a fraction of the cost of your so in reality LES is probably more profitable than the crazy deal that started this thread
p.s. LES runs at a loss and was designed that way
next?
Really? I thought you would be breaking even tbh - granted when a months orders are up/high.
I really think you're flinging mud at the wrong person here. Anthony has a solid history of delivering services.
Sometimes it's better to run at a loss if it will attract more profitable business over time.
god my phone keeps on beeping, beeping and beeping... and all i find here is peanuts -_-
Wonder if I can't get Michael to let me explain what actually happened... brb a moment, hold on guys.
I think that people are done listening to stories without endings.
Best of luck.
Maybe he's including development/support time.
These dam trains, fucks you do bad you forget your days!
It may start to break even within another 12 months or so but with the Japan expense that may be closer to another 24 months.
@LowENDTalk - You're all nasty.
That's because he was expecting people to send him peanuts but nobody did...
I almost fainted but I didn't want to lose five days of service. Look who it is.
How ironic.
People are often much more forgiving and understanding when you are honest and transparent with them, it is never to late to start doing that.
@AnthonySmith - You know you should look at the comments that has been said. Some is somewhat unneeded.
True. But yet you're complaining and still not explaining. Do the decent thing and let you customers, patient or otherwise, know what's happening please.
It is called human nature, while you refuse to communicate people will come up with the best fit they can with limited information.
So... how about you take this opportunity to turn things around? even if that is just to say "look guys I really messed up, I thought I could fix it but I cant, don't expect your data it is gone, I am very sorry etc etc"
I am 100% behind people that at least make some effort to help themselves, you are simply avoiding people when it comes to providing some actual information and this is what happens.
Think about it, your electric goes off at home, you call the company they say, it should be on in 5 days expect an official statement later, you are understandably annoyed, you wait 5 days and they still tell you nothing and it is still off,.. would you be 'nice' about it?
Now lets imagine that happens and your electric company calls you instead, explains that the people that provide the power lines have cut their credit and they need 10 days to fix the problem, they take responsibility and offer you a deal if you cope in the mean time while offering to assist them with moving to another company instead if you cant wait.
Which one of those scenarios would you prefer to encounter, transparency or a brick wall of silence? neither are great news but one is easier to deal with than the other.
@LowEND as you're clearly feeling a lot better now I suggest you fix your own problems and speak to your own customers before you start bitching about others.
Obviously it's @AnthonySmith who needs to watch his conduct in this thread, one of the only people saying give it time...
Come on dude. Anthony was patient with you.
