Yo Sly....let me see if I can explain this one for ya (cuz I sure have had to do it enough ;)......this is not directed at any one person....just anyone who may have the same question....
When a hosting company runs a sale like this it is a "Loss Leader"...this means that they are going to lose money on this account for the life of the account....but add back in the promotional value, the board play, the goodwill among new clients, etc. and it becomes worth it. If they had to reduce everyones price because they have a sale, then it would not be a sale, it would be a Rate Reorganization.
Ask yourself this question......if you take advantage of this limited time offer and then in 6 months you want to add another server should they give it to you at the "sale" price?? I dont know about Sly, but we never will.....the sale is a predtermined time and then it is over.
Anytime we run a sale like this we always have people coming the next day saying "Can I get the deal" and the answer is always no.....there is no promotional value in extending the date and noone is here to lose money
Think about this one last point.........what good is served if your hosting company is not profitable? We have seen that happen alot this year....how many people got hurt in the process?? Is this *really* what you want??
Just think about it.....
Hope that helped!!!
