I predict a good future for him and his company, as long as he still performs the same way he did when I worked with him. :) I will inform him about this thread. ldcdc 01-31-2008, 06:22 AM i am wanting to know if he will be willing to sell the web design for trexhost or if we could possibly take it over?

Jedito 01-31-2008, 12:33 PM Protecting is one thing, to lead them to his new business is another, and I don't see honorable at all. steven99 01-31-2008, 05:05 PM Protecting the clients from a collapsing business is one thing & honourable, stealing them while the boss is 'missing' could be totaly dif. How does one, that doesn't control the business, protect clients against a collapsing business? Saying to a customer base, "We're outta here, so long" doesn't seem right, but yet saying "We're outta here, oh and if you wanna follow me I'll be over at XYZ company" which Mike has done here. So, really you're damned either which way. cnv 01-31-2008, 06:16 PM Heres the reply i get from them: Please do not open any further tickets. Please backup your data and leave. The servers are all being unplugged on the 8th of next month.

It was either leave the customers with absolutely nothing or try to get them all transferred to a proper service. Not at all, they could leave to all the customers on the dark, or send them a warning about what's happening with trexhost instead of send the warning to gain their business.

So, really you're damned either which way. Oh come on. Mike knew about this a month in advance and waited to the LAST MINUTE to tell the customers. That's coercive. Let's do it in another business, too see how it relates. TAXIS!@!!! Mike is driving me from one city to another. We're currently outside the city, it's freezing cold outside and the taxi cab starts sputtering, and finally stalls. Mike looks back at me and says, "Yeah, I was expecting that. No one can seem to track down our boss. I didn't have money for the gas, so we're stranded... But don't worry, I started my own taxi cab company a month ago, in anticipation of this. I'll have one out here right away, I'll just charge you a much higher rate, that's all. But you don't have to take it, you can sit on the road in the middle of nowhere in the freezing cold, it's your choice." ------ Hmmm let's try another, Let's say renting a place. I'm staying in an apartment that is right in the middle of the lease agreement and Mike the landlord shows up one day, "Hey man, ahh, yeah, the owner of this property has been missing in action. He hasn't been paying his mortgage, so the bank is coming to take it over tomorrow, so you have to get out tomorrow. But don't worry, I have place you can rent, I'll even help move you out there, you'll just have to pay a lot more in rent. And I'll need a new security deposit too. But don't worry, you have the freedom to choose something else, just make sure the house is empty tomorrow morning, Cheers!!! :)" Let's all praise Mike for being so coercively friendly.

I think that's comparing apples to oranges. The situation you have described does not take into consideration, nor is it a scenario where it could take into consideration what happens when the owner returns. The owner can return, the owner can open up a lawsuite and then god knows what will happen then. You can all be transferred back, or everything can go down the drain. That is a risk you are all taking. Regardless of hard Mike tries, it will have no effect if this ever goes to court. In the eyes of the law, Mike has done wrong. Understand that you all are risking your businesses upon what seems to be a risky chance with no guarantee of a good future. Mike was free to recommend you to another host and ask you all to move if you wish. That would have been a selfless act of goodwill showing genuine interest. But instead he has decided to profit from the misfortune of another person. In no way is this an attack on Mike, but personally, that is how I view the situation. RealEulogy 02-01-2008, 01:28 PM I don't have a problem with him recommending a host. It's fine. It's the fact that he waited to the last minute. He knew about this a MONTH IN ADVANCE and didn't feel the need to tell Trexhost customers. Instead he spent his time building his own business tell everyone at the LAST MINUTE about what was going to happen. Very manipulative. steven99 02-01-2008, 02:32 PM I don't have a problem with him recommending a host. It's fine. It's the fact that he waited to the last minute. He knew about this a MONTH IN ADVANCE and didn't feel the need to tell Trexhost customers. Instead he spent his time building his own business tell everyone at the LAST MINUTE about what was going to happen. Very manipulative.Okay so, wait... As Mike has said he hasn't gotten paid from trexhost. He's not making a dime off current customers there. So, you're cutting his throat because he has worked for FREE for whatever long and now is trying to warn customers at the last minute that the servers are going down? What was he suppose to do? Tell customers the day after the owner went AWOL to pack it up and leave? If he did so and the owner came back the next day, we'd be here have a different discussion, wouldn't we? I'm sorry, but at least he gave warning before the servers were unplugged -- before he thought they would be and he has paid to keep them up a bit longer. To recap, you have a guy getting NOTHING for working for trexhost -- according to his own posts -- and now is paying $1700 -- again according to his posts -- to help customers get their data of. So, he's out $1700 + a couple months wage. (or however long it is ) Damn, this guy is evil. :rolleyes: Brian-de-vie 02-01-2008, 02:51 PM The more I think about this the more troubled I am. Is the Trexhost owner Physicaly & Mentaly OK ? The potential for all sorts of legal action is quite frieghtening. Is 'Mikes' business plan any more likely to work than the business plan of Trexhost ? I note both 'sites' do not include a postal address, here in the UK I'm sure it's a legal requirement if your 'a business', maybe the US should adopt this requirement, even if it is done volenteraly. The customers effected will not only be weary of Trexhost[&Mike ?], but of our industry in general. I just can't see any good coming out of this, easy for me to say away from the situation, but I feel as though everybody could have dealt with whatever problems that have occured in a more professional maner. Good luck to all those effected. RealEulogy 02-01-2008, 03:00 PM Okay so, wait... As Mike has said he hasn't gotten paid from trexhost. He's not making a dime off current customers there. So, you're cutting his throat because he has worked for FREE for whatever long and now is trying to warn customers at the last minute that the servers are going down? I don't care if he works or not. I run a thing called a BUSINESSS!!!!@ You know, the real world "big boy" stuff, not Teen drama. I don't care if he works or not!! All I care about is my business. He could sent an email a month ago, explaining everything and not work until he's paid. The guy lives 30 minutes away from his boss, he could of got in his car and went to his bosses house if he wanted to.. But hey, he choose not too. What was he suppose to do? Tell customers the day after the owner went AWOL to pack it up and leave? He should of told the customers, the day he knew it was going to happen. And he knew it was going to happen a month ago, but he decided to leave everyone in the dark, while he builds his own hosting company and than at the last minute tells everyone. If he did so and the owner came back the next day, we'd be here have a different discussion, wouldn't we? I'd rather be in THAT position than this ONE! I'm sorry, but at least he gave warning before the servers were unplugged -- before he thought they would be and he has paid to keep them up a bit longer. So,,,, If he told the truth a month ago, there would be absolutely no problem. To recap, you have a guy getting NOTHING for working for trexhost I don't give a **** about him or what he's paid. I run my business and I'm concerned with it. This is the business world, I'm not here to take care of him. and now is paying $1700 -- again according to his posts -- to help customers get their data of. OMG, he's just such an altruist. Think he could of saved himself money if he acted responsibly and told people a month ago. So, he's out $1700 + a couple months wage. (or however long it is ) Damn, this guy is evil. He ****ed up bigtime. He tried to profit, and he paid. Everyone lost in this case because this guy wouldn't come out and say what he needed to say a month ago. end of story. steven99 02-01-2008, 04:01 PM OMG, he's just such an altruist. Think he could of saved himself money if he acted responsibly and told people a month ago. Dude, he had no responsibility to you or the rest of the customers. He was an employee, unpaid, and had no reason to help you out. He probably wasn't even a stakeholder. As a business owner your self, you have employees right? What would they do if you didn't pay them? They may stick around for a couple weeks before looking for something, right? Sure, any loyal person would. Now, what would they do if you didn't pay them for 6 weeks if not more? Would they stick around? Do you think they would treat customers correctly? Do you think they have responsibility to the customers at that point? If so, why? Remember, your AWOL and your employees are unpaid and starving. Mike Hobgood 02-01-2008, 04:10 PM I had no Idea a month ago. As of one month ago, I was under the impression the owner James would be returning and become once again reachable. He is not reachable where he is, and won't be for a long time. Thanks EDIT: I also live 16 hours away from the owner. bryonhost1 02-01-2008, 04:11 PM Hi! I don't like this..for many reasons. If he was just an employee..fine. I do think there is more to this..as he did claim the vice-president title. Oh! Just another one of those "virtual" corporations? And everybody gets to pick a title? Please. This "last minute" rescue and his payment of the server rental just does not sit right with me. I think there is a heck a lot more to this.. >>Oh! Mike! I'll ask again..since you are now a COO...what state is this corporation registered in? Bryon Mike Hobgood 02-01-2008, 04:14 PM Is 'Mikes' business plan any more likely to work than the business plan of Trexhost ? Yes, TrexHost did not close due to financial reasons at all. We have the staff, experience, and financing available for this and will not be going anywhere. TrexHost closed do to the owner going away and becoming unreachable for a long time. Limiting our powers. We were locked out of SoftLayer's portal, Billing, Paypal, 2CO for quite some time, this being the primary reason for Trex's collapse. I apologize for the double post. Steve_Arm 02-01-2008, 04:16 PM Of course, if you work for free you can easily have $1700 in your pocket to spend. Please. This "last minute" rescue and his payment of the server rental just does not sit right with me. I think there is a heck a lot more to this.. Bryon bryonhost1 02-01-2008, 04:22 PM Hi! Of course! Doesn't everybody? I would have gone out to pick some fresh off my tree..I just didn't feel like it this morning. >>Just doesn't track, Mike. In your letter: None of us have had contact with him in over a month and we do not believe he will return. >> So. You didn't know a month ago, huh? You said you did. I find it very intersting you now state: >>> He is not reachable where he is, and won't be for a long time. Thanks >>> How do you know that? You claim you've had no contact with him for a month? Do share. >>Is he in federal custody? Kidnapped by aliens? Smoking a ceegar with Fidel in Cuba? >>>>Oh! Federal protection! A new identity! Gotca.

(If anyone notices a change in my standing of Mike, that's because Bryon's question earlier on if this was a virtual company with picked titles and that got me to thinking.)

All I care about is my business. With your 'real world business', it might be time to impliment your 'disaster recovery plan' ! Surely whilst this is all a mess, you must accept some responsability yourself, you chose Trexhost, you chose to rely on them for your 'critical business hosting' and I get the impression you chose not to have any back up plan, or even back up of your sites. And for Mike, yes get some sleep, when you wake - deligate while you find a lawyer, because I'm sure you going to need one before the dust settles, irespective of how good intentioned your actions have been. Sorry if I'm coming across 'mean' I'm just trying to view this from 'outside of the box'. Again I do hope things get fully sorted for everybody. bryonhost1 02-01-2008, 06:36 PM Hi! Cue "sounds of silence"..sad. First..he expects us to believe he was"just an employee". I'm sorry..if this was a real business..a vice president is a bit more than "just an employee"..even on paper. Even if it's not a real corporation. Wanna bet they didn't even have a business license? I doubt it. You have seen me go after others in a similar fashion. There is a reason for this. It is a real business move....not a pretend one. Does it mean they're not going to rip people off? Give good service? Of course not. It does mean they have started off on the right foot. They plan to build real businesses..and not a scam or a hobby. They may have even downloaded: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p334.pdf To get started on keeping Uncle Sam happy.

He is unreachable in any way, so Rising Web Works wanted to make Trexhost customers happy :) Ok, I am not sure that either of you were hosted with the same trexhost I was hosted with or if you have had any other hosting experience anywhere else? I am tired of hearing all the childish and immature talk regarding trexhost, how the takeover happened, how James died, left, flew away or whatever. What makes this whole situation bad is that most of the customers (including some staff.. or all for that matter) are "children!" yes this means you! and yes I consider you a child unless you are older than 18 .. 19 in some states. proved by law! if you are just over 18 or 19, your still wet behind the ears, and still have alot to learn. I have held back, let things take their course and just see what is going on. I have read "every" post on this issue and I can say that there is alot of mistakes on both sides. both out front in the words you spoke and what has actually been done behind the scenes. I have tried all day to move my stuff over to Rising Web Works. I even managed to get a hold of you Mike on live chat. Which I must say wasn't a good experience either since you left the conversation about 50 times. regardless, I stood bye. All I have been waiting for is for you to get me set-up, which you said you would do and I expressed how my customers are in the dark and that it needs to be done ASAP. Still nothing. So I will agree with most people, I guess you are handling it like a child, I am not happy with you or rising web works as you should be happy to get customers who comes to you, yet you are playing games, tired or ? If this is the case, go to sleep and don't make situations worse. Anyways, I am sorry for Trexhost, sorry for you guys at Rising web, but I am not impressed and as such, I will go elsewhere. This is sad because I was going to give you guys the benefit of the doubt, I was going to trust my clients with you, and to you it was just and maybe still is a game or side job. Very unprofessional and again, You have lost a customer because of it. to the quotes at the top.. Trexhost was affordable. not too reliable, the servers do not cost that much and I doubt you priced them properly, don't flame out and get mad, it's just a observation and I don't think you are correct in what you said. Regards, Joe KyleB325 02-02-2008, 10:09 PM I went on softlayer website, and checked out the server config they had.

I went on softlayer website, and checked out the server config they had. And trexhost was very cheap compared to other host, other ppl want 40-60/month for 50gb Yes you are absolutely right about that, but that's not what i was referring to and thats why, I used quotes. You stated "those servers at Softlayer are like 600+/month and I believe they had 5 or 6" They are not that much each at least the service I had didn't use quad servers. and if they did, $22 a month for 50GB of disk space is what I paid at trex .. oversell would occur...you do the math. right? KyleB325 02-02-2008, 10:18 PM I dont think so, Trexhost had 5 or 6 servers, I was on a 8cpus- Intel Dual Xeon... It would be pretty close around 500/600 becuase you have to pay for cpanel, whm, all that stuff canadianathlete 02-02-2008, 10:21 PM I dont think so, Trexhost had 5 or 6 servers, I was on a 8cpus- Intel Dual Xeon...

I said my peace, I will leave all alone. Brian-de-vie 02-02-2008, 10:30 PM Actually, The owner just went away and was out of contact for a month and just left trexhost abandoed. He is unreachable in any way, so Rising Web Works wanted to make Trexhost customers happy :) OR To quote the actual words of Mike from another forum: "All efforts were made to contact the owner, however, it is near impossible to contact him where he is. We have continuously contacted his parents, relatives, and even family friends who are near 30 minutes from his location and still can't even get a hold of him."

Someone mentioned earlier jail/prison and unless he's out at some mountain cabin with no phone, I wonder if it's that.

Yes..even more so now..with the sudden post of even more new conflicting information about a new co-owner of Trex. I mean..come on, now folks..what dedicated server provider rent by the week anyway? Come on....I can't think of a single one. Well. Has anyone else heard from this new person? This Trex co-owner? Has the new "company" lost access to the trex servers? Oh..the drama.

I heard 2 stories, Mike Ousley- Got cops called on him. I just read a post HostParlor sued them... Also, I heard he got sent to jail cuz he scammed someone. Honestly, I've worked with James for years.And I like him, and I will defend him. I don't know if I want to believe anything now because diff. stories keep comming up... But if his ex wife called cops on him, I guess you could call it a family emergency... But, it could be another cover up, however on that email- says he is un reachable, if he is in prison, he probably is unreachable. -I'm going to fly down there, ask him for my self, and clear everything else up :) KyleB325 02-03-2008, 02:55 AM Why even bother posting? do you even know how to spell Business?

He should have laid down the solid facts, The owner of trexhost is unavailable, the future of trexhost is uncertain, as he has not being paid and something he'd like to do, he has set up his own company, it is more expensive, but if Trexhost customers would like to join then the first year would be discounted. |
