Maybe when we hit 500 accounts, I'll take them on a trip to the USA - to the NAC and HE.net datacenters. Might even drop in on Disney World too. I'd prefer a "datacenter crawl" though.

Actually, they were pretty much just getting started too when I first started out. Now look at how far they've come and we've come an awful long way too. Imagine the next 2 to 5 years?• WLVPN.com • NetProtect owned White Label VPN provider •

The milestone was 200 separate client accounts.
Congrats ole Aussie Bob, you've worked for it =)
It would have been wicked to hit 2000 posts, just when that 200th customer signed up, but hey! if you post a lot less, you could hit 2000 posts, at your 2000 customer... it could happen!dotGig

Don't forget the marketing claim that httpme used to run about how they were building a unique community that would stop signing up new accounts when the number of accounts reached 200
Of course there was the hidden rider about how this would change if business conditions changed.
Well I guess businesss conditions changed. They changed because httpme signed up more than 200 accounts !!

I hit a milestone with my business this week. Time to palm the kids off to the Grandparent's place and take Mrs Aussie Bob out on the town for some dinner and dancing.
Aussie Bob can dance.

We will be stopping accounts at that level and consulting the .COMmunity if we should move on. Here's a little thread for you to read - http://www.httpme.com/showthread.php?threadid=422
This was discussed with the .COMmunity about a month ago and we'll hold more discussions and then a .COMmunity vote if we as a .COMmunity should move forward.

OK aussie bob, no need to stop at any number of accounts if you can still offer the same level of support while you expand.
Good luck for your continued growth.

Not sure if we'll keep going. It all depends on the .COMmunity etc.• WLVPN.com • NetProtect owned White Label VPN provider •
