Except, the toll free support was nonexistant. Also, I only had a 128kbit connection out. The routing was the worst technologies. Worst of all, the server was an unstable server that was a retired gaming box for having everything break at some point. It was half submerged in water with one of the side panels missing. In addition, I would use the server to do some gaming and non-server-related stuff occasionally. Yet, nobody really noticed it. Even though I provided free service on that (100MB stuff), and an upgrade to 500MB for $3/mo, I still did get a few customers. Not to mention I loaded over 2300 websites on that poor thing. Yet, nobody complained. On many review sites, I still got 5 stars. The speeds averaged 2KB/sec max if you were downloading from my host at that time. Some businesses dared to host their site on mines, but I decided to turn some of them away for their own good (uptime was lower than 70%). Just shut it down when I had to switch ISPs. That's where I got all my skills to run a host today. Many people still wanted it back. However, really, I don't think the picture is really a joke at all. I used to operate successfully under that setup, and nobody complained really. Now, of course, I'm running under something way more stable, and way up to par with a reasonable host (eg. redundant connections, etc, everything you'd expect from a stable host). I now aim at stability, and real quality rather than some makeshift stuff at a home. I must say, sometimes, many things can be ignored. |
