You arrogant asshole. My phone call to Andy earlier today was an olive branch, a suggestion that he pass a message to you so that we could discuss the state of the industry. You can paraphrase the conversation that I had with Andy in any fashion that you like but simply put, it was a reminder that people depend on hosts for their livelihood so don't fuck it up.
Thank you kindly for so quickly telling me everything I didn't know about you in one brief post.
Cheers,
Brad

You know to be honest, every host here knows Alpha Red didnt fail b/c of low prices. Everyone here can live up to the fact that
A) They were rocking hosting like nobody else.
B) If people cared, then they'd not host there. People apparently DID like Alpha red, b/c despite all the name calling they pushed some serious traffic. If the service was bad, it wasnt nearly bad enough was it, cuz if it was. people wouldnt be hosting there.
C) James was a dumbass and fucked his business with Scareware. Low prices didnt. I suspect he was making a dime or two , otherwise microsoft wouldnt have taken the time to beat him like a red headed step child.
D) Everyone who has posted in these threads are vultures (myself included). Posting under the pretense of giving advice while 'nice' is really self serving.
And for the record, Dave is a dick. Judging from the only time I met you Brad your kinda cool, and you do your clients a great service. but in this thread your sounding like a dick too, and Dave is right.
Bottom Line: If your a cheap ass bastard, get Cheap ass hosting. If you want quality hosting go get premium hosting. $4 and sub $4 IS possible , it IS profitable and a successful business model WAS implemented (Alpha Red)
EVERY SERIOUS HOSTER KNOWS THIS PRICING IS INEVITABLE. People said the Sky was falling when Cogent came out. Yet we are all still here dragging our sorry ass feet peddling bandwidth for pennies when we used to sell it for 1000/mbit.
