Candid Hosting Banner - Is it general or targeted towards any competitor.
 
First, let me say I use them for some of our hosting and are expanding with them, although most of our servers are elsewhere.

So, am I overthinking that banner?

Sly_RJ 12-10-2002 07:00 PM

Can you link the banner? Don't know what you're talking about...

pr0 12-10-2002 07:03 PM

i've refreshed 30 times still don't see it....

pr0 12-10-2002 07:05 PM

On closer inspection...i don't see how you could assume they are pointing out anyone in general. Seems pretty generic to me :Graucho

I think it's good. Many of us who have been doing this for a few years do feel like we've been Fucked by a few hosts. Not intentionally but fucked none the less.... I've tried about 10 myself.

To be fair I will say that I do have a server with Candid. I am happy with them.

Once I saw an Epic Cash banner that said "Hey DrewKole, check us out! We'll make you bling bling, baby!"

pentae 12-10-2002 07:08 PM

I must admit I thought the same. If it was targetted marketing they hit the mark pretty spot on. ;)

I wonder if they've paid anyone to fuel the LikeWhoa debate. ;)

Your overthinking, Candid is good enough to do whatever.

Zebra 12-10-2002 07:11 PM

There are actually a number of hosts that have had problems with downtime, so I don't think it is targeted at just one host.

Although it is kinda funny.. in an ironic sort of way.

Its been quite a while since the last candid down thread.

It would make me nervous having that banner out though because once its out there the minute you go down out comes the banner.

Hmm...
I think that they are putting their money wihere their mouth is.
Good...maybe it will end all the hosting whore spam :)

Bobby 12-10-2002 07:41 PM

Candidhosting rock :thumbsup and I love the banner too :-)

AWC 12-10-2002 07:52 PM

Target marketing at its finest!

Brad Mitchell 12-10-2002 08:14 PM

I think it's a brilliant banner, I wish I had thought of it first!!

Yes of course it's unusually timely due to events of late... but it's incredibly true. Tons of people have been screwed by a variety of hosts. That's why the marketplace is so active and there is always so much business to be had.

Cheers,

Brad

Well I must admit My marketing team really went crazy this time.
Great job guys!!!!!!! And to set the record straight, I will not allow anyone in any of our companies to post on a "someone down thread." We put our advertising efforts elsewhere. Just like we do not sit here and tell you about all the improvements we are making. We just say if you are interested in hosting with us just pick up the phone and talk to one of our specialist and if things work out we will send the company plane to show you what Candidhosting is all about. :BangBang:

do some more times and Lens certainly needs to expand with them :Graucho

Kimmykim 12-11-2002 01:57 PM

There are more than two hosting companies in the business, Candid just expressed a legitimate sentiment, since a ton of hosts are up and down like a two dollar whore at a frat party...
