CloudatCost and Pertino

Everyone keeps asking why the failover didn't happen.

Looks like they are still down.

Yeah, this is insane. The worst part is not the outage either. It's their lack of communcation. If they were AT LEAST saying every hour or so "we're still down and we are working on the issue", it would mean more than they possibly realize. To me, this demonstrates a lack of maturity or understanding of how good policy for providing updates during an outage can affect current and future customers.
-
See if you are back up now.
-
Yup, I'm finally back up and Pertino is working as well!
-
You're actually still going to use it?

I'm debating. I honestly haven't decided yet. I'm more forgiving than most people.
-
Its hard to own something for "life" and not use it haha
Personally I bought mine more as an investment, I know they cant be fully trusted right now but perhaps in a year two two when they become more stable, and no longer offer one time buys
-
I doubt they will be around another year or two. reported gross (not profit). is less than $85 a day.
-
Oh wow haha

That's quite a bit lower than I would have imagined. Where did you hear that report from?
-
Although if you think about it, two years of getting customers, even if they buy a handful of servers, you'd still only be looking at revenue in that ballpark even if you are bringing in a customer or two every day.

It was in some business documentation I found online. I'm guessing they have no one on the monthly plans and very few buying one time plans per day.

How do they pay their employees let alone buy new equipment? This is really starting to look like its run out of someone's house.

It's a venture. They have a few others. http://www.fibernetics.ca/about-us/fibernetics-ventures/ Venture Capital rarely makes financial sense.

That's how startups work. You get cash to start the business and grow it before making money. Spiceworks ran at losses in the millions for years (maybe they still are, no idea.) When you have venture capital you don't necessarily worry about making money. Or not right away. Sometimes never.
-
In Silicon Valley, hardly anyone makes money. It's all venture capital money.

@scottalanmiller Hmm... Maybe I should open my own hosting company and maybe even get them to fund it, lol.
I think that would be a fun adventure, even if not successful!
