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.
