That should be "servers offline". :)

Thats what many people said right befoe LikeWhoa disappeared and all their servers and data was Gone. Or when Cologroup (that Jayson dude) the cogent reseller also disarreared, or magg from foundrynapp. Don't wait until it's to late. History will repeat itself so dont get caught with your pant down and all your business in gone.:2 cents::2 cents:

I wish *everybody* good luck. I am hopeful that AlphaRed is able to continue serving it's customer base without interruption. Everyone has to make the decisions they feel are best for their business to protect their assets.

If we can be of any assistance to anyone, please reach out to us.

Sincerely,

To those of you who have already contacted us your servers are being set up now and data has already begun being transferred. You will be contacted by a technician as soon as we have your data safely moved to your new servers. To those who may be interested in saving your businesses we are here to help you but please keep in mind we are not in the biz of competing with low budget cogent type hosts offering 4 and 5 dollar bandwidth with used junkie servers. We are a Hi Quality host with only Tier 1 bandwidth and very hi caliber support. In lieu of the current alpha red situation we are offering some VERY aggressive deals for 50 meg and above bandwidth users. Contact me for details. Good luck to all.:)

Damn that sucks for everybody who is hosting there, as far as i know they have quite some customers.

If anyone needs help, let me know i will be around all day
we have servers online and ready to use

I hate seeing this happen to webmasters. These "Slash & Burn" type of companies are way too common. Having said that I feel that webmasters really need to look into who they are doing business with. When looking for a host keep in mind you are going to be working hand in hand with this company to run your business efficiently. There are some great hosts that advertise and post on this board. If it sounds too good to be true it most likely is! CHOOSE WISELY!

As always, we are here if you need us. Webair.com has a proven track record in this industry. With more than 12 years experience under our belt, Multiple data center locations, over 70 employees, robust network architecture, real-time 24/7 support, we are a company you can count on long term. If there is anything we can do to help you with your transition please feel free to contact us anytime 1.866.WEBAIR1 or [email protected]

I find it rather hilarious how this thread turned into such a hosting spam circle-jerk so quickly. :1orglaugh

You guys are like fucking piranha. :2 cents:

Of course it can, a company that is based on selling BW for 1 dollar per meg profit and then add the money for servers, routers and other hardware and then data center and tech and other employee fees.......LOL those type of companies always go bankrupt.:2 cents:

Look at Like Whooa, Foundry Nap, cologroup....all these idiots tried to just earn biz by being cheap and all went under.....It's just not a good (profitable) business model.:2 cents:

This would probably be a good time for most people to consider having an offsite backup with a 3rd party, like Clonebox (not sure if my strongbox refcode works for this service, but I may as well try :glugglug)

What good is having daily backups if they're with your host that just went out of business?

A full clonebox hot spare server is $24/mo for 200GB, 12 cents per additional GB.

Thanks buddy! i love to hear WEBAIR success stories! even if it is not always in english :) :thumbsup

We're certainly ready to step in as well and help out with any immediate hosting needs. Hit up anyone in sales at CCBill or CaveCreek and we can talk about hosting or data storage (disaster recovery) services.

LOL Foundry nap ... that dood didnt have money to start and tried to be a big shot and he failed horrible and from what i hear not once but twice ..

Also i always keep it a rule to keep at least a 20% margin on top of things so that all those expenses that need to be paid in good order .. but thats me

ICQ me when you get a chance

Thanks

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I bet you curse in your mind "damn why didnt i opened this thread and take all glory"

I dont think they went down for anything to do with being cheap. Its fairly obvious why they are going down lol.

and your kinda calling their customers cheap by extension.:2 cents:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

No kidding... and what makes this a perfect storm, is the people who actually host with AlphaRed posting here and telling everyone they hope they get their shit off the network before something substancial happens, AND AlphaRed not even making a peep about anything.

fuck this...
nobody from ALPHARED????

Hey,

I sent you a msg on ICQ.

Talk to you soon.

I never said they went down for being cheap, I was inferring that with their business model of being a cheap host and opperating at a tiny profit margin if even that, that they don't have shit for resources to to even think about fighting a legal battle with Microsoft or the Attorney Generals office. Also YES their customers are cheap, thats why they choose to go with a bottom of the barrel host rather than a quality host for a few more bucks.:2 cents:

When they oversell and bill out at 95th and get billed at the 90th percentile, and sell at 4/Mbps and their cost is slightly below. when you have 40+Gbps bandwidth your low margins make up for volume. a 3-4 dollar profit margin is the same if your selling for 15/Mbps. There are lots of variables involved and lots of different business models to go by. By the volume of bandwidth they were pushing i'm sure they were doing well for themselves.

You aren't even taking into account their cost of corporate overhead, support, office space, other bills, power, physical space, etc.

Their products were priced at straight up $4-5/mbps so a 100mbps box was $400-500 with hardware included, even $4/mbps @ 90% isn't going to cover all their costs.

Alpha Red = Enron without a handshake and a wink from President Bush and Dick Cheney.

Ryan you are a smart guys and seem like a good biz man! I was saying the above all along... :thumbsup

No its not, but the massive overselling they did makes up for a large chunk. Not to mention however many accounts they have still at 8/Mbps pricing etc that they were running a year ago. and now their cost was sub 4/Mbps.

You and I both know they were the cheapest cogent boxes 1-2 years ago and undercut everybody and I'm sure they still had plenty of people still paying 8-10/Mbps when their cost was sub 4. Thats still nice profit on top of the massive overselling.

Ilan,

Thanks for the compliments, wish I could recipricate but I still can't believe you would hire Chris Gotzmann and then assist in the cover up and continue to allow him to operate under a false identity.

At the very least you made the promise to cover any of his oustanding debts which was a nice move but stil... Chris? come on man.

Exactly correct.:2 cents:

if you read my post I stand behind it and already took care of 1 that was able to proof damage etc... and one is about to.

but this is for another time or if you like more info ICQ me :)

hey the kid changed and doing things by the book, and for what he is making now HE BETTER!
