SPAM and crazy offers

[artvision]

I have noticed an increase of SPAM and crazy offers
like 60/100 for $10-$15 etc. on most Hosting communities.

Does anyone have the same impression ?

Be prepared for a large flood of it in the coming weeks.

Just wait until they close up shop when they have to go to school and also try to run a webhosting company and find out there is more to it and have no time to sleep

There's a boom of them from June, through to September.

The 'real' boom for hosting companies (sales wise) comes usually between October/November and March - or it has over the past few years.

I agree! I've got short observations indeed only about the
last 3 years but they concur fully with your findings.
I don't see any tendency to changing.

Well we're October and the spam hasn't stopped for me yet.. still getting them daily..

Yea spam is annoying....I wish it could be stopped but what can you do....just suck it up and go on

With cost coming down, it's easier to pay the savings off to the customers.

And Now 2 months later since your post school's back In.
The real boom is December when school's out again for the holiday's, it's coming to Christmas and kids trying to make a quick buck as possible, by making extreme low pricing.

 

[SQNWK]

I would like to see them sued for providing unreliable service if there in it just for the quick buck.

Kids today, think that Hosting industry is a law-suit free industry.
They need to learn, explore, and research how serious the industry is, before even attempting to purchase a reseller, a vps or a Dedicated Server.

Yes,
There are some successful companies out there.
My friend informed me there was The "Top 20 Richest Teenagers of the UK" in the papers a few weeks ago and a 16 year old is worth £750,000 for running a web hosting & web design business.

The people who come in here thinking it is easy, purchasing a server punishes themselves in a way, they can't afford to pay for the server and have to take it out of there own money and not any cash they have made.

That happened a year ago, guys. I encourage members to participate in recent threads which are now buried below the old ones.
