We'll see how long this lasts - I still have my doubts that this can stand up long term. The amount of goodwill he and his staff burned through is incredible. The ill will that the built up is immense, and will be a lot harder to get rid of.
Well congrats on getting your account setup. Can you tell me what "plan" you had before the downtime and how much space/bandwith/etc. you have with your new AYW account?
I too am highly skeptical of CW's future. Most people paid for their services a year in advance (with prices being so cheap) so I would imagine only a small percentage of accounts are being billed monthly. If that is true, little revenue is coming in on a monthly basis. He's also said that he will accept no new customers until he's "fully" rebuilt. If he stands by that statement that would mean no new accounts until possibly the end of August, which is when he has said he expects to be done with the rebuild. And then you have to factor in the refunds that people are asking for, which he said he would mail by August 9.
That, to me anyway, seems like the makings of a short-term cash crunch. I have no idea how much capital he has, but if the allegations are true that he owes money to both LightShip and RackShack, that doesn't sound like the behavior of a company that's flush with cash. If they are undercapitalized, he could be in trouble.
