Just got the mail:

The business will not continue. All services including power, bandwidth, and technical support will be shutdown at 9:00 AM CST on December 24, 2008, tomorrow. We will begin shutting down servers this evening around 8:00 PM CST, December 23, 2008 starting with accounts which have outstanding/past due balances.

Damn i'm lucky that i've moved to an other host..

[Super Negro]

nice to see their sign up forms still work and accept cards...makes you wonder how much they will make keeping them up and never responding to emails

[LiveDose]

Pretty clear from that statement why they are done...

[AdultEUhost]

damn that sucks but i guess it was just a matter of time, hope people can make it in time to move their stuff

[Si]

Good bye alpha!

[Iron Fist]

Well that's a Merry Christmas if I ever saw one.

i doubt that but you never know, there are a lot of hosts which can not match their pricing, including me

[MaDalton]

i think that answers the questions if a host can survive on 6 bucks per gig

no shit BUT in all fairness wasnt their demise caused by something else ?

[wyldblyss]

Not a whole lot of notice, especially this time of year. I am sure there will be a few scrambling to get things moved

Had to be more than just that.. other wise they could have just raised the prices.

Correction: $4

[AdultEUhost]

i think you guys mean 4 or 6 $ per meg instead of per gig

[Juilan]

Saw this coming from a mile away

sorry but your clueless their pricing model is not what killed them.

[Manowar]

not too surprising now

[Paul&John]

Anyway the timing kinda sucks

[JimmiDean]

I think most people moved a few weeks back , but there will always be a few who missed it.

yeah, i know, then there was also the email "problem". or was it spyware? anyways, i heard enough about them to stay away. i prefer honest, hard working business partners

[John-ACWM]

That's all,folks!

[HorseShit]

All of Ibills servers are still up and running with them
