    They only rent servers, nothing is owned. They use Enzu/BudgetVM for the majority of their locations which is incredibly cheaply priced.

    A lot of the owners/workers were based out of India meaning a livable wage is very low, making $1000/m in India is a fairly high paying wage all considering.

    bacloud said: I sometimes wonder how such companies has persisted for so long.

    because many people assume it is sustainable and sign up on yearly or longer deals, which gives them enough to survive until they run out of these customers.

    If a restaurant was offering a yearly deal, 3-course meals ever day for 1 payment of $50 p/year, you might question the quality of the food or how long that would last, sooner or later they would run out of 'new' customers and boom.. running at a loss.

    That is just the way of the world though if it is cheap people will buy it usually without questioning the bigger picture.

    Received this emailed just now although i am not an active client.

    Hello,

    There is some confusion regarding our last email that we would like to clarify. HostMyBytes is not closing or going out of business. Due to the changing hosting market, we are discontinuing our shared web hosting, reseller web hosting, unmanaged OpenVZ VPS line. unmanaged KVM VPS line and unmanaged windows VPS product.

    These services will shut down on May 30th, 2017. If you have prepaid for one of the services that are being discontinued beyond May 30th, 2017 please open a ticket with billing to explore a possible prorated refund. HostMyBytes is going to be focusing on on our managed VPS product, hybrid server product, and dedicated servers.

    HostMyBytes is going to be focusing on on our managed VPS product, hybrid server product, and dedicated servers. Our current customers who would like to remain HostMyByts customer can upgrade to a hybrid server or dedicated server at a discounted rate. If you are interested in upgrading and migrating to either a dedicated server or hybrid server at a discounted rate please open a ticket with sales and we can help with this process.

    Thank You,
    HostMyBytes

  • The title makes it sound like they are closing for good. Looks like a title change is required.

    TBH that isn't a very high wage if you're living in the largest cities, considering you need good internet connectivity and office space. If you live in smaller cities that's an extremely good wage but internet connectivity is mostly unreliable.

    Thats the case Actually. A lot of my friends work from home as freelancers and make upwards of $xxxx from home. Internet is quite affordable these days.

    Appreciate the mention. While I can't directly match that pricing listed above, I will reactivate our 50% off offer.

    It applies to our shared hosting: http://impactshared.com and our VPS Resource Pools (VDR) : http://impactvps.com

    Code: HOSTMYBYTES

    It is recurring and does apply to future upgrades of your service.

    The Shopping Cart displays this when I apply the above promo code:

    "The promotion code you entered has been applied to your cart but no items qualify for the discount yet - please check the promotion terms"

    Nothing like working from home! Your business attire consists of sweatpants and flipflops :D

    Interestingly, I was able to install Moodle onto my DreamHost account and restore the original site without incident. Not sure what the previous issue was. THat said, I'm still looking for a VPS solution, so I'll review the above info. Thanks!

    Did you select a storage server? The promotion does not apply to them.
