Adult Friendly Hosting not too Friendly? - GoFuckYourself.com

washiez · 02-02-2003, 02:39 PM

Hhaha, welll lets see. I just called them up. Guy answers the phone.. says he in the shower. (Dawgy youd love that I bet ;)). I say hey, you got any plans for 10 dollars a month (a lil side project of mine which could ofcourse grow in the future.. DUH). He flat out says, its not even worth answering the phone for that. How friendly is that? Small or big, is that how you treat potential customers?

Funny funny funny. Hey anybody heard of Velcom Hosting?

/rant off.

Gary · 02-02-2003, 02:42 PM

Didnt the call cost you more than 10 bucks?

washiez · 02-02-2003, 02:44 PM

Well if it did, they paid for it! (1800 #) ;)

stocktrader23 · 02-02-2003, 02:49 PM

I use them and he's been cool so far. Why are you looking for $10 a month? Their cheapest plan is only $15.00. lol

I would but my dedicated sometimes gets bogged down at times when I get a lot of traffic.. I don't want to have to worry about it with this new project and it doesnt require more than like 10-20 gigs a month at the moment.

Ahaha.. you know what was funny though and will probably turn you off (but we never know with you Dawgy).. he sounded like that guy from prohosters.

Brad Mitchell · 02-02-2003, 04:52 PM

I suppose he could have candy coated it for you?

Rich · 02-02-2003, 04:59 PM

You really called a host's 800 number over a $10/month account? He's right, it wasn't worth picking up the phone.

FATPad · 02-02-2003, 05:00 PM

HAHA

Your host has a plan for $15/month, you called him and got him out of the shower to ask if he has any plans for a $10/month hosting plan?

No wonder hosts hate virtual accounts.

rpet · 02-02-2003, 05:01 PM

He gets all his servers from www.rackshack.net for 99.00 and resells them for 250.00, but hey business is business, we are all out here to make money :-)

One.

SpermbergMikey · 02-02-2003, 05:57 PM

Actually very friendly and available, i considered using them. They told me resellers buy from them, that they are not resellers. (can anyone disprove this? they are still on my list for a place to have a back up server). Hell i wouldnt andwer the phone for $10, but they are definitely friendly.

Exactly!

Why go to him, when you can go directly to rackshack and save major coin? He is just a reseller.....nothing more.

He's a fucking reseller, and a liar if he denies it.

His Ensim Control Panel....

He is reselling space on Rackshack $99/month Ensim servers, which SUCK....

Not worth picking up the phone when potentially it could end up being a lot more? Gee that makes sense ;)

Ah well guys, my problem is resolved... Im working with my current host (Dynamichosting.com) since they kick ass anyways.

I love the attitudes of some of the people here. Small business could end up turning into something a lot bigger down the road. Morons.

Brad Mitchell · 02-02-2003, 08:46 PM

now THATS a classy hosting setup

playa · 02-02-2003, 08:50 PM

hmm answers the phone while taking a shower

either they started installing showers in data centers
or he's got servers in his living room

pornJester · 02-02-2003, 09:03 PM

I've know Tom who runs AFH for a while and he's a good guy. If he's willing to answer his phone in the shower to do business, and you start trying to cut his prices down, you should probably expect he wouldn't be so happy about it. Anyhow, yes I believe he does use rackshack servers. But the difference is he supplies managed hosting, which you won't get from rackshack. I've been running some of my sites on rackshack for over 7 months now with no problems, so no need to get to condescending about them either. I think it's funny though that people would even bother posting a thread like this on GFY.
