I'd be glad to have you join in. Perhaps we can meet at the office, then head over to one or both of the data centers and then grab lunch together. I'll shoot you an e-mail with regard to this. Wednesday's probably the best day for me. I'll also hop on ICQ (hopefully later today) to chat with pr0. |
Quote:
pr0 and I already talked and we were hoping for today or tomorrow? He can make it after that but I am leaving wed for 10 days vacation to Disney with the wife, 2 sons and both their girlfriends. pr0 is quite capable of observing your operation and reporting to all of the interrested partie. I would hope you could make it tomorrow, but let us know. Jim |
I get the feeling that this isn't going to end well for the new guy.
I could be wrong, but that's what my gut tells me. (it also tells me to order pizza way too much so maybe I shouldn't listen to it) |
Quote:
I've e-mailed you -- hopefully you can pass that along to pr0 so I don't have to sign up for ICQ. |
his office is a cardboard box outside the datacenter

Thanks. |
Quote:
OK I got your mail and replied, But I'll comfirm it here also. Yes both pr0 and I will be there at your office at 11:30 am tomorrow. Thanks Jim |
That's just TOO cheap!!
:) |
Yup, just confirming I will be there tomorrow at 11:30 as well.
Hope its casual....because thats how I'm showing up :1orglaugh :pimp |

Snake, please tell me who you host with that gives 24/7 unlimited support / phone support. I have been trying to find one for a while. The last host I was with got pissed when I was on the phone over 4 hours with them when I messed up my web server configuration! Can you believe that!!! I was paying them a good $500 per month and they said that by 12 hours of phone support per month was not covering their costs!!! I mean WTF!!! :321GFY I agree with you Snake.... These companies should be "begging" for our business. Please refer the hosting companies that you use so I can start using them. Screw these web hosting companies that have restrictions! I want 100% uptime and 100% support!!! |

I did not see HE offering data to S&D Reston. I live in this local region as well..... I want to check this guy out! How can I be part of this meeting? |

Our phone system can be called 24/7/365 and we have people on site to anserw calls. I do not care if its 9am or 2 in the morning someone will always be here to take a call. We have never kicked anyone out of our data center for putting to much a load on our services and when we say unlimited manage we do it. If you know anything about windows or linux and a customer needs something done its a pretty simple process. Also regarding the ticket note, tickets sometimes take a little longer to respond to depending on what the customer is asking for generally because our staff will get working on it right away but anyone can get an immediate response by contacting the 24/7/365 phone number listed on just about any real hosting company's website. BTW, BUMP for a good deal. Sorry about entering the thread, got no beef with you guys just minusonebit :thumbsup |

The point I was making more than anything is that nobody is going to think it's a good deal if they have 8 thousand details shoved down their fucking throat. If someone is abusing the support system then you deal with that on a case by case basis. The second you tell me I get "X minutes" of support per month and after that I get charged extra, is the second I tell you to go fuck yourself I'll find another host. And FWIW, if you've seen the hosting specials being offered lately, hosting companies are "begging" for our business. But you just sit there and keep telling your potential future customers how you think it should be, I'm sure they are more concerned with your business than they are with their own. As for me, it's 3AM and I think I'll turn in a support ticket right now for a new MYSQL database. It'll be done within 10 minutes for no extra charge, because I use a "real host". |
Quote:
I'm agreeing that if someone says 24/7 support that they should support you no matter what! You rub one out too hard and did it hurt your head (both of them)? I agree with you that hosting companies are "begging" for business. Deals are getting better and better all of the time. Now I have to figure out why you were an ass to me.... But for now.... HERE YOU GO! :321GFY:321GFY |
Quote:
I guess you are going to just state this stuff without actually giving the name?!?! Does this "real host" have a web site? Why can't you provide that? :mad: |
Quote:
I host with Techie Media |
Quote:
I was paying $500 a damn month and after 12 damn hours I was cut off!!! You think that these level 1 support people are worth more than $40 per hour! If you think a level one phone support person is worth more than $40 per hour then you are an idiot....... :1orglaugh When I'm paying $500 per month I expect to get support. Once again here you go.... :321GFY:321GFY:321GFY |
Quote:
Now STFU and go troll somewhere else. |
Quote:
My experience with customers over the years still holds true, and I think its the same for everyone else. The ones that pay the least expect the most. |
:1orglaugh
Quote:
There are two reason why I just figured you are an ass. 1) You are a Dolphins fan. 2) After years (that you say) you have been in the business you still do not know the one line command to create a database. I'm asking for your hosting recommondations and you are just too stupid to say even one. All you do is bash everyone and you can't say shit but bash people. I was even on your side butt-head! Are you a child? Go back to your mom's room and cuddle up with her.:1orglaugh |
Quote:
I'm not expecting the most at all! $500 ($495 actually) for 20 Mbps with server. That is not unreasonable at all to expect that with support. It's just been hard to find that with great support that is 24/7. That's the main reason why I'm looking at GFY. But Snake is being a little bitch and does nothing but bash people instead of saying who he uses. I can see who his lame blog is hosted by (techiemedia), I guess this is the big secret that he wants to hide. Whatever..... |
Quote:
rack space - $50/month server cost - $80/month bandwidth cost - $19/Mbps x 20Mbps = $380 Total: $510 payment left for support -$10 4 hours on the phone: $160 I say you owe them at least $150 |
Quote:
Are you saying these hosting providers are paying $19 per Mbps.... I hardly doubt so! Are you saying a server cost them $80 per month forever! F No. Are you saying that an hour of support cost them $40 per hour! F No. Why are you hounding me here? $500 for 20 Mbps is average pricing. But I am just looking for someone with better support. |
Quote:
if you're not hosting the server in your garage. Quote:
unless you use an insane amount of bandwidth talking 10gigs and up here Quote:
Quote:
If you want a real sysadmin you have to go from $80 and up. Quote:
them aware of the problem and let them fix it, they're not there to hold you hand why you're trying to "fix" things. Also the average pricing comes from the fact that most of the customers won't use anything close to what they've bought thats why it appears cheaper. |

I asked the support guy to explain the virtual hosts with apache and then fix what was wrong. Would it be better to have them fix it everytime? Faster if I do it myself. Just like creating a database now, I know how to do this. I don't have to open a ticket like Snake does anymore. Quote:

to learn theres plenty of info on the net that you can use. Just read a tutorial and you're set. I think you should be thankful he had the patience to listen to you for 4h. Any other tech would've pointed you to a tutorial and tell you to fuck off. Quote:
Anyway, this is getting offhand, do what you want. I was just trying to point that you're not as profitable to them as you think and nobody will offer you the level of support you want at this price. You can be realistic with yourself and try to work it out or go with the next host that will promise you the moon and fool yourself again. |
Looks tasty

Your opinion does seem to be in pretty big conflict with others in GFY though. :2 cents: Some of these people are claiming that they get bandwidth for free and get unlimited support anytime day / night. Snake keeps saying his hosting provider will do anything within a few minutes 24/7/365. Are you saying that hosters like this are not really 24/7 without a much higher price tag? |
loving all the hate :disgust

For the record, I spent a few hours with Jim and pr0 this afternoon -- nice guys! I'm sure they'll post to this thread when they get a chance. |
Quote:
Russ it was a pleasure meeting you today and seeing your operation. For the record people I went to meet these guys because I was getting the gut feeling that they were not for real, and were some smalltime over committed reseller and basically I was prepared to "oust" them for just that. Well I have to tell all of you that was not the case. These guys have a very nice operation, office, and data centers. Yes it is true that they are taking a loss on some of the deals they are offering right now, but hey we have all done the same thing to break into a new market. I have nothing negative to say about Russ or his operation and in fact I can see TechieMedia and them doing some future business together. It was also GREAT to see my good friend pr0 again, and I will not comment for him as I am sure he will chime in and add his 2cents regarding our meeting. OK now I must pack before the Mrs. beats my ass as we are leaving for Vacation in Disney in the morning. Peace Out Jim . |
Quote:
Once again, nice meeting you, and have a great time in Disney World! |
Was a pleasure meeting you Russ.
Office had several employees working 6+ minimum that i saw, not including a smoking hot receptionist. Checked out one of the data centers....theres definitely several servers/racks/routers & clients hosted. Russ overall seemed like he knew what he was talking about (at least was able to keep up with jim). To summarize.... i would have to say this is probably a completely legitimate operation. And Russ seems like a nice/articulate businessman just trying to break into a new market. Couldn't read any bullshit from his words/eyes...& he doesn't exactly fit the profile of a poker player, so i think he's good to go. Great seeing you as always Jim, look forward to the pool parties this summer :) |
heh, my gut instinct was right again. It usually is. Bump for this guy who got shit on and doesn't deserve it.
