No thats exactly the problem people only look at price. They don't look at service, equipment, tech support, or anything else.
I help a lot of people out that go to companies like iicinternet or rackshack without them knowing simple basic *nix skills. Why do they do it? Price.
Alot of these people end up being so desperate to leave these hosting companies because their sites are down they take almost any offer by a company with tech support and get burned paying double what they should be. It's a vicious circle.
Have you matched these companies equipment for equipment, Bandwidth provider for bandwidth provider, uptime vs uptime, and tech support vs tech support?
For most people here I can say the answer is no. Most people look at price and then hope they don't have problems.
Don't believe me? Come answer my phones for a week, answer my icq's, and answer my e-mails.
The sheep will follow cheap prices and then they get ass raped when they find out the cheap prices are actually hurting their business.
Am I saying a box at rackshack is a bad move? No. But if your going to go for their prices make sure you know how to manage that box after you get it. Out of all the people that say they have good results with rackshack the common denominator is the fact they know how to manage a server.
And your comment of I am just promoting the people I am affiliated with thats so wrong because I didn't even mention the name of my hosting company in this thread and I also mentioned companies that I have no affiliation with.
I did that on purpose so people can see it's an unbiased opinion. But no matter what instead of reading my reply you just blame me for trying to spam my shit. Thats exactly the mentality of most of the sheep on this board.
