His cheapest unmanaged vps starts at $49 monthly. For him, customer acquisition through adwords might be profitable somehow
6 yrs ≈ 10 yrs
yep, correct.
@Francisco @AnthonySmith
Sorry you feel that i'm a moron for stating a fact that you're boasting that having a tag means something on Lowendtalk nowdays with all the CC influenced tags.
You're still going to be a moron for boasting that having a tag means something. I've yet to see you make any offer on LET.
Then why aren't you making a similar offer "provider" ?
This is why you use a credit card.
I whooped AR's arse by doing a CC chargeback on a $0.49/yr (!!!!) shared plan and part of a VPS.
Note: I only bought them as a joke -- I never stored anything important on there
No ones going to get you to price match the expensive plans. You're going to be expected to price match BuffaloHost#900 and their loss leaders.
I'm hoping the market is maturing enough to realize that such plans aren't healthy for either the customer or the provider. Costs are rising on colocation and IP addresses (for people that don't own their allocations anyway). Gear can be had on the cheap side if you're game for older generations.

Flagged for excessive incorrect use of "literally".
It's a commodity market with cost plus pricing at best. It will never improve.
(Now) Former Alpharacks Chief Operations Officer Joshua Collishaw has apparently landed on his feet at a new gig, Director at RZD hosting: https://www.rzdhosting.com/about
RDZ Hosting Chief Executive Officer Lincoln Vogler founded Blue Leaf Hosting where Joshua Collishaw also was employed: https://lowendbox.com/blog/blue-leaf-hosting-1-25m-pptp-vpn-in-uk-us/
I think RZD was spamming on their twitter replies with a new offer.
It's kinda sad that this is all he can do.
They were "sorry to hear about the closing of AlphaRacks":
Well, took him about 20 days to clear out his AR related accounts. Then closes it. Then opens a new one a day later which I am sure he was preparing during.
Classic and basic scam but people still fall for it. What can ya do.
Technically correct usage, the best kind of correct.

Hmmm. Interesting. Will keep that in mind for future. Btw, neither did I have anything much of an importance with them.
Oh, Google Ads. I see why you are so irritated.
If you don't mind my asking, how do you manage your Ads account? All by yourself, or have some agency manage it for you?
Up until 28th May 2019, I were employed by AlphaRacks as their Chief Operations Officer - my role in the business was to provide upper level escalated support, to maintain customer relations via email & social media channels and manage the support team. For clarity, and to not slander my former employer, I am awaiting payment for my service. Of course, along with customers who are without service they come before me in terms of their owed refund, I know from the e-mail which Julian sent out, he has said he is actively working on this.
I am unsure why new services were still being allowed to be ordered given the circumstances.
Regarding the outage, I can confirm that the servers AlphaRacks were leasing from QuadraNet are under a criminal investigation, which their CEO has stated - this reason is vague but out of respect to QuadraNet, I hope they offer a solution to AlphaRacks clients whom have lost out on not only their service but their funds. I have been assured by Julian that AlphaRacks had nothing to do with the dispute.
This posting is for clarity, RZDHosting had been setup and running long before this incident and we are more than happy to accommodate any AlphaRacks customers, potentially fulfilling their remaining time on shared and VPS products with special packages being created — where our stocks last. My former employer, AlphaRacks has zero association with RZDHosting, (based in the UK). Drop an email to [email protected]. To further add to this, RZD Hosting is under UK legislation and therefore offers a 30 day money back guarantee on all purchases.
If anybody has any questions, I can do my best to honestly answer them.
Lastly, I hope AlphaRacks customers are able to gain their data and their money back - the situation they find themselves in, is disgustingly unfair. Anybody with PayPal buyer protection or a debit/credit card should contact PayPal/their banks ASAP.
So you were behind all the spam we got?
Julian sent out promotions - I had zero involvement in that and reported the broken unsub link multiple times.
I was involved in emails involving customer dissatisfaction.
What about customers from previous NFPhosting?
All customers appear to be affected, if I remember right NFPHosting customers were moved on to AR infrastructure.
As of this moment (it seems to get edited a lot) your linkedin entry https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-collishaw-06b607137/ says:
The Companies House entry for:
INFINIAN SOLUTIONS LTD
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10595660
indicates:
The announcement on the RZDhosting website as to the Infinian takeover:
https://dashboard.rzdhosting.com/announcements/1/Infinian-Solutions-takes-over-RZD-Hosting-with-immediate-affect.html
The linked website: http://www.infinian.uk
Has yet another address on the Contacts page:
https://www.infinian.uk/Contacts/
And quite frankly doesn't seem to be the website of a real company.
Looks like alpharacks wiped their social media accounts and disabled the website.
1) The twitter account's first post was in May.
2) Your website doesn't work (VPS plans are empty in WHMCS and the link in the homepage is broken).
3) You're running a "free IPv6 VPS" campaign which does not work.
4) Not disclosing your prior affiliation to Alpharacks when advertising your non existent services to people who got scammed by alpharacks is dogshit.
LMAO. I was just going to screenshot that "acquisition".
What a shitshow.
I don't know the situation about others but my NFP VPS is still running in limbo (No control panel, no ticket support, no nothing. SSH is accessible though). I just want to know when will the lease between alpharacks and colocrossing expire.
The end is fucking nigh.
Currently, Infinian Solutions is a small business in the UK. Infinian.uk is an incomplete website and can confirm the office address for the business is Infinian Solutions,
International House,
12 Constance Street,
London,
E16 2DQ.

1) The previous owner had unfavourable tweets.
2) As the business is a side business to my other job, it is currently being redeveloped still from it’s former ownership.
3) Our IPv6 only VPS plans are a trial and do work. I can hook you up with one if you send a DM.
4) This business is a side business to my main job. I was only an employee to AR
I highly recommend you take a backup, I’m not sure when the lease expires as I had no CC access.
