Lifetime deaaaaalzzz

SocksAreComfortable · September 16

Aww, that's a shame. Hate to see it happen to a decent guy like MikePT, but life can throw curve balls at anyone in the end...

Post deals!

Falzo · September 16

to be honest it is rather surprising that he made it this far. kudos to that?

I remember the offerings of his lifetime deals even mentioned, that he needed the money for whatever private investments.
so it was totally clear from the beginning that it was some kind of way into a cheap loan, but in the long run would have to be backed by otherwise earned money.

would be interesting to recalculate what was earned with the one time sales vs what had to be spent over the years. could well be that this wasn't a cheap loan after all...

cybertech · September 16

it definitely sucks to be in this situation especially those who have had it for less than 5 years.

luckily some top notch providers are bailing the services out and customers can still have some more time before the eventual closure.

bdl · September 16

Services are still up but not sure for how long so make pre-emptive backups now

To bad... My 'lifetime' lasted 3 years. Probably could have had what I used for less, but the gamble did not pay out this time.

Time to migrate ~10GB (actual) of 300GB (max) worth of data.

@MikePT, all the best for you. I had nothing to complain about your service!

ehab · September 16

yep, its hurts to see MikePT go. I only wish him the best and finding a job soon.

I run completely free web hosting for 4 years now. And myw run paid operation. It is completely iresponsible for him to offer lifetime plans without having a plan to exit cleanly if shit hits the fan.

very sad

host_c · September 16

I am confident MIKE will post an official statement here also, most probably he has he's hands full for the moment .

I don't have friends and I feel better now!

Fritz · September 16

So €9 for 5 years, not that bad.

I knew his business model but It's okay, worth the money.

Dazzle · September 16

We knew this would end like this.

Who's next? You @visualwebtechno ?

Haha, already stopped using them.

Mike seemed like a nice guy. I should have been more concerned when I saw his last name was Madoff.

Yah, I don't think he got money out of it. He used it so subsidise setting op regular servers. But the fact that he kept coming back with the liftimes made clear there was no business model.

Still, I think Mike's good people. But everyone knew lifetime was for just a few years. Some people got 5 years out of it for 10 Euros. Pretty good value.

treesmokah · September 16

What did people expect from "lifetime" hosting? As If the scam wasn't obvious enough.
A month without other income source was enough to sink the ship, its not how a healthy business operates.

Ponzi scheme of hosting. Can't feel bad for anyone who lost money on this.
To top it all off, this shady operation was run by a staff member of OGF.

Why is this a scam in your opinion? AFAIK their ToS limited lifetime to the one of the legal entity and that's exactly what's happening now.

treesmokah · September 16

@webcraft said: Why is this a scam in your opinion?

They need more customers, or rather, investors to continue operating and pay for bills caused by previous customers. No clear business model, just shitting whatever and seeing if it sticks.

c1vhosting · September 16

This is not good news, however for those affected by the shutdown please contact us, we will offer you reasonable deals or agreements to keep your resources. We will soon launch new Cloud instance servers to provide better load management.
