How many people contacted you trying to sell hosting...
 

5 different people contacted me over ICQ trying to sell me hosting because Webair was down.

Anyone else noticed this?

What do you think of this marketing tatics?

looooool

If a tornado demolished your house, wouldn't you want someone to come by and check on you? :)

Aparently I was not the only one getting hit.

I have two dedicated servers and have not BUT I can't check my email so who knows

several guys contacted me also on ICQ offering me hosting deals...

Same here, I think they are going for the impulse.. doubt it works though.

Honestly I think its pretty stupid. Every company has a problem at one point or another. I've had it happen to me, but I don't need to be a vulture to get business.

Agreed, I can't imagine being desperate enough to start doing that.

very nice of you to turn off your sig :)

sigs are over rated

Are you with Phat Servers?

Quite a lot of people were pushing them on all Webair threads actually.

But nobody contacted me over ICQ (from you guys).

phatservers rocks, mmmk? they don't need to be all over you guys, because they have a good enough following to do that for them ;)

You even started a thread about it, didn't you?

Very professional.

yes to mock webair, its gfy for christ sake, stop whining.. if you're so dedicated to webair don't switch, im just giving an alternative

hehe :)

Agreed, I can live with a small down time every so often. I don't care who you are or what you have. Sooner or later something will happen, as long as it's not a normal thing it's not a biggie to me.

I think some of these guys here act like school children about some of this stuff. Sorry but if their whole empire is going to come crashing down because of a 2 hours down time.. lol well then they should re think their businesses. Specially when it's 2 hours on a Memorial Day which is a low traffic day anyway.

I won't. And that's not the point here.

The point is that only low people, like you, would use such marketing tatics.

:2 cents: :321GFY

is it really concidered marketing if im getting nothing out of it but slack from people like you?

Yes, I am. And nobody from our company will be contacting you. We don't need slick and shady marketing tactics. I have more pride than that.

What my customers do on their own will, I really have no control over... I'm sure you understand.
