That's it for now folks :) Long live DA!

------

Well, it seems the second dedicated server was popular, and left several people in the out cause there wasn't enough to fill a 3rd order. Well, I decided to jump on a deal and pass it along to the good folks of AT. It's been a long time coming, I've been here too long :p

Anyway, for those of you that might be interested, I've set up a forum for the server here. Go there to post/ask any questions regarding this. Server should be ready by the end of the week/weekend. But basically, what I have here for us is a DirectAdmin server... and lots of bandwidth :)

Interested yet? heh.

*edit*
I had space on DeviousTraps server, and well, since I have this, I don't really need DT's space anymore.. if anyone is looking for 25GB/250GB for $100 paid through december, LMK. I could probably still make use of it, but gotta pay for the server :)

He is? how would have you guessed? :)

Edited title to reflect the fact it's for webhosting rather than gaming. Sorry, no Xeons here, I love AT, but I can't go in the hole that far for ya. Besides, I would have done opterons instead.

Affirmative, this will be my 11th web hosting account :)

Is it that profitable for you or just a hobby?

It's profitable, otherwise it would be a very expensive "hobby" (my total web hosting bill is $350/mo).

For instance, one of my favorite reseller web hosts is UU which offers 3GB/25GB for $15.99/mo.

By targeting the local web hosting market (specifically small businesses) I am able to offer 50MB/500MB for $19.95/mo.

You can fit roughly 50 of those 50MB/500MB accounts into a 3GB/25GB resellers account.

So you do the math.

$19.95 per mo x 50 domains = $997.50 - $15.99 (my costs) = $981.51 per mo profits :)

Nice.. I have so much extra bandwidth right now on my VPSColo account. I should check out some local businesses in my area.

Ooh I am so jealous, VPSColo.com is awesome. Rus does a great job.

In a few months, GottaDeal.com will be moving from a resellers account to ServINT.net

:Drool:

Our VPS isn't just powerful, it is also designed with superior reliability in mind. Built on SuperMicro Dual Xeon 2.66 Ghz machines with 8GB RAM, 10x73GB Ultra320 high-speed SCSI drives in RAID 5 with hot spares, dual 10/100/1000 network interfaces, hot-swap fans, 3 redundant hot-swap power supplies, and other hardware only dreamed of by most dedicated server customers, it is an awe-inspiring platform. Although you would expect to pay thousands of dollars a month for these features on a dedicated server, they are all standard on every VPS host machine.

He really does. He was right on top of every issue we have had. I don't think I have waited for more than 5 minutes for a response back on a trouble ticket yet. Great company if you are looking for a VPS account.

Wow do businesses just not realize they can get that much more (what you bought) for cheaper than they're paying you a month ???

That's why I target the LOCAL WEB HOSTING market, since they don't have a clue that cheaper web hosting exists. Their idea of web hosting is paying a local ISP $65/mo or Yahoo! for $30/mo.

The local web hosting market is virtually untapped in most major markets.

Not quite, I'm around 29 currently. I'm letting a few expire this year, so I'd like to stay around 25.

With web hosting as cheap as it is, somehow I think I'll be around 45 by end of 2004.
