When I logged in this morning, I had this email from CEO...Looks like he's getting pissed...
Kwad,
Thanks again for the support. But you know, it is just getting very difficult to maintain
a positive outlook with all the naysayers breathing down my neck. I don't know what to say
this morning but to just reiterate the important points from my earlier emails and notices, and
let people draw their own conclusions:
1) We offer the cheapest hosting services on the Web. We are the only hosting service, that
I am aware of, who offers lifetime hosting. That is not just YOUR lifetime, but the lifetime
of Cyberwings (a much more valuable thing).
2) We are the only upcoming hosting service to be currently in discussion to consider thinking
about signing an agreement to build out a 300,000 square foot site in what is perhaps the
epicenter of forward looking hosting services in the world: Baton Rouge, LA.
3) Our IS staff has, accumulated, over 30 YEARS of IS experience. We have people who've installed
linux on multiple platforms. We have people who have built a computer from the motherboard up.
In short, I am convinced we have more aggregate IS experience than just about anyone.
4) We currently offer hosting based on a very wide selection of different server platforms ranging
from 386 to the latest PII 512kb cache dual processor servers. If at any time we find that
one of these platforms is flaky or not compatible with current technology, we can swap it out
and use another, different platform. This makes us MUCH more agile than the standard hosting
service where only a single platform is used. In that case, if the platform is revealed to be faulty,
the entire site has to be taken down. Our goal is to never go down. In addition, our servers are
built on the strength of quality parts purchased from only the best and most reliable vendors.
In fact, greater than 90% of our parts come from Fry's. Compare this to most sites where the
majority of their parts are ordered by mail.
5) We offer an ironclan 98% uptime guarantee. If your website is not up at least 98% of the time,
we will add additional time to your contract equal to the amount of time you can document the
website was not available. No one--NO ONE--in the industry matches this guarantee.
6) Yes, most of our hosted sites are currently down for maintainance and to prepare for our
move to a new, radically different, state of the art hosting center. As of 7am this morning, all
our servers have been linked using serial connectors to ensure no data loss will occur during the move.
Only top quality Belkin serial cables are being used. We have also used double-ended VGA connectors
to connect the servers in pairs to ensure no video losses occur during the move. We have 17 full
sized 18 wheelers fueled up and ready to move at our command to take all the servers and move
them, caravan/military style, to our new location. An armed guard will be placed on each truck
to ensure no one can attack the trucks and steal the servers or leach the data. In short, the move
is being undertaken with the same pinpoint precision that people have come to associate with
Cyberwings.
7) As I mentioned recently in our chat room, it may be necessary to change our pricing scheme.
This wouldn't be a major change, but it might mean, say, quadrupling current rates. If we go to the new
scheme, anyone with an account would be offered the option of either having their account closed,
and not owing any more money, or else ponying up the additional money and keeping their
account the same way it is. When you look at the service and features we provide, I think it is
a no brainer as to what everyone will do. Look for an announcement on this soon. In any event,
our hosting services will be at least 50% than the cheapest rates offered by people like Register.com,
so we will still be a major bargain.
Well, hope this recap makes things clearer. Please pass it on as usual.
CEO
