I wonder how VIRTUALISP.CO.UK can do this...

They basically offer unlimited domains+unlimited space + unlimited bandwidth (5 gigs per site limit) for 39.99 pounds per month

yet a dedicated server is 79.99 per month with 250 setup and only 10gb of bandwidth,

I did notice on the home page there is a pic of a hand with a stopwatch, exactly the same one thats on donhosts website...

anyone know anything about virtualisp???

All i know is places like that over sell there bandwidth because no on can afford that.
They only offer that to get you to buy there packages but if you read there terms you will see they can stop any site and even kick you off there servise. These people make me sick.
<edit>
Donhost's web site gives you the impression the they have 2000Mbit connection yer right!!!
I think they have 10Mbit but with that thats only 3000gig/month.
They offer 50 gig per reseller. So they should have arround 60 resellers i bet you they have well over 300+
Thanks

They do not offer "unlimited" bandwidth

They offer 5gig per month per site you host.

There are only 4 servers resellers can use ( 2 unix , 2 windows )

They have 3 x 10Mbit Internet Connections.

VirtualISP is not Donhosts evil twin.

Unlimited domains x 5Gb Transfer per resold domain = unlimited bandwidth :D

no it does not

Unlimited Bandwidth is impossible from a metered amount of data-transfer.

If there is no limit to the number of domains you can host, and with 5Gb for each domain, in theory it is unlimited datatransfer.

going on that thiery ....

if someone offers me 20mb per account i add ... in theory thats unlimited webspace then .... i think not ... it is limited ... limited by the 20mb each time ..

think about it 5gb for each domain .. and only for a flat fee ...

Hi,

Do they offer unlimited bandwidth??

As you say you know alot about virtualisp, do you think they would accept 500 domains at 5gb each?

Thanks

Well ... abit ... but normal resellers don't have to worry.

rmartin
01-19-2002, 05:23 PM
But what is "normal"

I am sure that a lot of resellers have at least 10+ sites and I would be surprised if they would allow 50GB+ for just 39.99+vat per month

Thanks

If you can host unlimited domains which come with 5Gb of transfer each, you are in essence receiving unlimited transfer.

What's so hard to understand about that?

1. You do not get 5gb per site
2. You cannot host that many domains per a server .. recommened max around 500.

Virtual ISP have 3 x 10mbit internet connections ... not 3 x oc-192 .. they cannot provide 5gb per site ... for nothing ...

especially cos its in the uk ... and for only £39.95 + VAT ...

Its just bull crap ... but normal resellers should not worry ...

rmartin
01-19-2002, 05:31 PM
It quite clearly says here

http://www.virtualisp.co.uk/Resellers/resellers.html

5GB per site

what is a normal reseller??

Chicken
01-19-2002, 05:42 PM
It does say:

Unlimited Domains
Unlimited Webspace
Unlimited E-mail Addresses
Live Statistics
5Gb Transfer per site

If you can host (in theory) an 'unlimited numbers of domains' on the account, then yes, the offer is just complete bullfog and you should expect to be able to host what is reasonable, but nothing more. They don't have the magic server...

You seem to know a lot about them and post only about how good their service is..

I can speak from experience - as an ex customer.

I signed up for a windows account and was given a UNIX! They even asked their resellers to design control panel templates

cut from e-mail dated 9 Jul 01
There is at present only one style available (Classic Grey) so i'm going to open the floodgates and say, "Who wants to design one?", any design work will be done on a voluntary basis, there will be no payment for it whatsoever and it will be available for all the resellers to use, you will be giving up all artistic right and will not have the right to ask us to remove it later if you cease to take service from us.


Soooo glad I waived them bye bye...........

OK

1. I do not work for Virtual ISP
2. You WILL not be able to use 5gb for every account.


They have 3 x 10Mbit internet connections ...

BUT currently they are only getting around 2mbit from each ... for some reason .. maybe the connections are only 2mbit each ...

anyways .. if you believe they will give you 5gb for every account ... your gullable ...

OK .. the reason they say 5gb per account ... is to give you a sence of security .... they cannot stick to this promise ... if everyone used 5gb per account.

Misleading is misleading. No "bit" about it. It's like being pregnant. You either are, or you aren't. Nobody is "a bit" pregnant, or "a little" pregnant.

Advertising "Unlimited" anything means that you either have to keep your word, or risk litigation for deceptive business practices, or even fraud.

And no it doesn't .... by offer unlimited to give unlimited of x , however should x violate ANY terms and conditions they have the right to delete or suspend x .

Get my point .. they will not delete your account cos you use unlimited x .. but cos of some other reason .. should u violate it ..

IE : more than xx amout of server resources ..

That has to be THE WORST logic I have ever seen. Using your logic, let us assume that the system can carry around 7,000 accounts comfortably. Now, if I were to resell something in the neighborhood of about 1,500 accounts (and it could be done easily), each using only 4 of the 5 GB of bandwidth allowed, that's 6000 GB, or 6TB. That in itself while falling LEGALLY within your OWN DEFINED PARAMETERS, would still violate your usage policy. Requiring the termination of the accounts.

Moreover, let us assume that each server houses, on average, 250 accounts (that's average for lots of hosts). Those 1,500 accounts would use up a total of 6 complete servers, using 100% of their resources. By your own definition, that's abusing the system, and would require termination of the accounts. AND, while those accounts and their usage fall into the LEGAL parameters of your own definition, they violate your policy at the same time.

So basically, there just isn't any pleasing you, one way or the other. I had a girlfriend like that once. But I dropped her and have since avoided that type.

If your pet host WAS an honest and forthright venture, I seriously doubt that you would be so anxious to argue that the boldly emblazoned "Unlimited" banner on the site doesn't actually mean "unlimited."

You sound like Bill Clinton in front of a Grand Jury ---- "No, I didn't actually say unlimited," "Define what you mean by unlimited." "I did NOT put unlimited on that website!":D :D :D

I don't think you under Virtual ISP do u ... they have very few servers available to resellers ... you would NOT be able to use more than 100 - 150 pop3 mailboxes .. at the most ...

We do not offer unlimited anything .. except on the reseller account only available to WHT users.

And i'd also like to point out that should a user use ALOT of data-transfer we'd simply move the client to a brand new server with less clients on it .. or upgrade the CAP on the server.


ALSO ... you wouldn't be able to create 1500 accounts and use 4 - 5gb per month .. there connections are already being used alot .. using that amount is impossible.

Notice the crucial words "We" and "we'd".

So, either come clean about your affiliations (in which case you should be posting in the offers section with your sales pitch and lame excuses) or else get off this forum completely

(Was that Chicken's boot I heard impacting your anatomy?)

Exactly, he's been posting annoying crap for a couple of days now, do us all a favour and either refrain from posting crap or go elsewhere.

And quite simply, you shouldn't offer unlimited, because it doesn't exist - as you proclaimed yourself "should a user use ALOT of data-transfer we'd simply move the client".
I therefore see that on your site, you advertise falsely, as you advertise:
"Unlimited Domains"
"5Gb Transfer per site"

Unlimited x 5 = Unlimited / Infinite as unlimited is not defined as a constant.

cdude, a few posts earlier you said that 'Giving sense of security to clients' is not fraudlent advertising. fine.
I will rent a server with 50GB, sell 100 accounts, and post on my site that I can give 30GB bandwidth for each account just 'for sense of security of my clients' - that is false advertising!

i dont really care why they say unlimited - sense of security or sense of trying to get costumers - its still lying.
there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth.

if you offer 5GB for a domain, and you offer unlimited domain to hosts - not 'virtually unlimited' or 'noramlly unlimited' or all that crap - just unlimited domains.
you should learn basic maths - unlimited * 5 = unlimited - simple as that.

You credibility has already fallen through the floor and now you are going around in circles

Just accept defeat and leave this thread alone and then we will all leave it alone too or alternatively be honest and stop misleading us all.

The bottom line:

They mislead customers, AND getaway with it. That's the part that makes me sick, is that they can get away with LYING.

The sad part is somone will use them to build a solid customer base then be left out in the cold when they cancel your account for "too much cpu usage" or some crap like that.

You've apparently got a towering intellect, rivaled only by garden tools. ( the dull, rusty ones.)

I'm willing to wager that 2mbps is your connectivity. (3) 2Mbps pipes. However the argument is NOT how much connectivity YOU HAVE, but rather what YOU ARE OFFREING TO PEOPLE on your website.

You OFFER AND ADVERTISE ***UNLIMITED*** domains, with an allowable transfer rate of 5GB/mo. If you CAN NOT deliver Unlimited bandwidth, then why do you advertise it?

You're not advertising YOUR connectivity, you're advertising what you offer your customers. And those are 2 separate and dstinct items.

You shouldn't be offerring Unlimited domains @ 5GB/mo., because you don't have anywhere near that sort of bandwidth to offer. you only have 3 2Mbps lines.

So there's no way out of it for you. You're simply advertising something that you DO NOT HAVE to offer.

If I had 3 tanker trucks full of milk, each holding 4,000 gallons of milk, and offered everybody who wanted it "Unlimited jugs of milk, @ 5 gallons per jug" I'd soon be out. Since I don't have unlimited milk, I shouldn't be offering unlimited milk.

Get the point? Probably not.

If ignorance is bliss, you have GOT to be the happiest fellow on earth.

Go back to 1st grade and learn simple multiplication. 2x2=4.
period. 4 is NOT equal to unlimited or infinte. period.

Don't offer what you can't possibly deliver. If you only have 3 T1's, you can't offer OC48 bandwidth. Get it? Probably not.

Well if you guys would leave this thread alone ... and not make stupid commands at or about me .. i wouldn't have to reply ...

YOUR credability has gone right down the pan with me .. and other people will see that your not willing to have an adult conversation without arguing ..

i'm not defending virtual isp .. i personally think they are crap .. and i'm not saying they offer unlimited data-transfer ... i'm not saying that there offer is not misleading ...

BUT bottom line .. i don't work or use them .. so i have no right to judge .. and nor do you.

You've apparently got a towering intellect, rivaled only by garden tools. ( the dull, rusty ones.)

Why thankyou

I'm willing to wager that 2mbps is your connectivity. (3) 2Mbps pipes. However the argument is NOT how much connectivity YOU HAVE, but rather what YOU ARE OFFREING TO PEOPLE on your website.

No .. my personally connections are 1mbps , 512kbit , and 56k .. and i don't have a web site yet

You OFFER AND ADVERTISE ***UNLIMITED*** domains, with an allowable transfer rate of 5GB/mo. If you CAN NOT deliver Unlimited bandwidth, then why do you advertise it?

i don't

You're not advertising YOUR connectivity, you're advertising what you offer your customers. And those are 2 separate and dstinct items.

am i .. i'm offering nothing here

You shouldn't be offerring Unlimited domains @ 5GB/mo., because you don't have anywhere near that sort of bandwidth to offer. you only have 3 2Mbps lines.

Well thats nice .. but i'm not offering anything here .. we're discussing virtual isp

So there's no way out of it for you. You're simply advertising something that you DO NOT HAVE to offer.

Well you gotta ask virtual isp about that .. as i cannot comment

If I had 3 tanker trucks full of milk, each holding 4,000 gallons of milk, and offered everybody who wanted it "Unlimited jugs of milk, @ 5 gallons per jug" I'd soon be out. Since I don't have unlimited milk, I shouldn't be offering unlimited milk.

Well , i suggest you offer amounts which you can actually provide

Get the point? Probably not.

I get the fact that you cannot read

If ignorance is bliss, you have GOT to be the happiest fellow on earth.

Yes , dumbness is bliss from what i see from your post

Go back to 1st grade and learn simple multiplication. 2x2=4.
period. 4 is NOT equal to unlimited or infinte. period.

Well thats where i've been going wrong , i thought you couldn't do anything to a fig. which has no action before or after it , ie : 5 ... so 4 would not equal unlimited because you are doing nothing to it ... and unlimited is not possible on numbers

Don't offer what you can't possibly deliver. If you only have 3 T1's, you can't offer OC48 bandwidth. Get it? Probably not.

I've stated my connections ... i do get what your trying to say .. but your saying it to the wrong person

Why O Why are you still arguing.. You requested this post be closed twice already.

Cos you guys wont let it die

You credibility has already fallen through the floor and now you are going around in circles

No its hasn't ..

Just accept defeat and leave this thread alone and then we will all leave it alone too or alternatively be honest and stop misleading us all.

When you guys drop it .. then i will leave this thread alone .. but not before .. and i'm not misleading you.

We know you are affiliated with someone. so why not just come clean and tell us all who?

I do not want to get this company involved , this is a personal id ... and i now know not to advise via it .. so i will drop the notices .. and you'll never know who i work for ... however you say a host .. i will never lie about it .. i will either answer yes i do work for them or no i do not work for them ... and the answer will be true.

Thanks

Poor cdudeuk18, he's obviously getting confused.

Firstly lets examine his contradiction of himself, and his rapidly changing opinions:


They do not offer "unlimited" bandwidth
They offer 5gig per month per site you host.
There are only 4 servers resellers can use ( 2 unix , 2 windows )
They have 3 x 10Mbit Internet Connections.
VirtualISP is not Donhosts evil twin.


So here, you state that they are not Donhost's evil twin, implying they are good.


i'm not defending virtual isp .. i personally think they are crap ..
BUT bottom line .. i don't work or use them .. so have no right to judge .. and nor do you.
my $0.02 ...


Yet here, you state they are 'crap'!

Next, regarding the website:

Richard originally posts:


So you agree that their website is misleading? as it states that it is a flat fee for unlimited domains that get 5GB each

Thanks



And you reply:


Well ... abit ... but normal resellers don't have to worry.



Then, I state that it's fradulent advertising:


Fraudulent advertising.


And you reply:

not really .....


Were you feeling a little indecisive? Or just contradicting yourself again? Or changed your opinion for the millionth time?


Now, cdudeuk18's English skills.

His English skills are severely lacking too - or perhaps the . key on his keyboard has a few problems?

But he also doesn't understand the differences in tenses, and how to differentiate between "I" and "We", as the following post shows:


I don't think you under Virtual ISP do u ... they have very few servers available to resellers ... you would NOT be able to use more than 100 - 150 pop3 mailboxes .. at the most ...

We do not offer unlimited anything .. except on the reseller account only available to WHT users.

And i'd also like to point out that should a user use ALOT of data-transfer we'd simply move the client to a brand new server with less clients on it .. or upgrade the CAP on the server.


ALSO ... you wouldn't be able to create 1500 accounts and use 4 -5gb per month .. there connections are already being used alot .. using that amount is impossible.


Yet he later states he doesn't work for Virtual ISP...

Anyway, I rest my case.

Ok lets give this case a rest.
Virtual ISP use Fraudlent Advertising - Everyone Agrees
5 * unlimited = Unlimited - Everyone Agrees

cdudeuk admits he was wrong, admits he said misleading things (such as generous ratings) and admits he was wrong about unlimited bandwidth and about virtual ISP.

so now, after we all reached a consent, lets give it a rest :)

Just leave it alone, lets not get back on topic or off topic.

You are just trying to provoke people into reacting yet again.

We have all learnt something here, so lets not push our luck.

The moderators have been very forgiving of this thread and i am surprised it has gone on so long.

I personally have learnt alot about virtualisp and have no need to find out anymore.

I have also learnt alot about cdudeuk18 and have no need to find out anymore

I would ask that those who know me would join in halting this thread and let the poor boy get some rest :)
