I hate to be rude, but this AskHN was clearly a request for people to mention what startups are doing new and exciting stuff. A dedicated server provider, unless they're doing something exceedingly unique, doesn't really fit that criteria. There are hundreds of them out there.
The hosting industry right now is in a race to the bottom in terms of prices and from what I can gather from your site, all you do is rent out servers you colo in the InfoMart facility. I don't know if you actually rent a cage and use your own equipment or if you just resell servers from one of the dozens of providers there.
It's going to be a hustle to grow when your competitors like online.net and dacentec.com offer servers with similar specs for less than half the price you do.
I just got a server last week from online.net for $32 a month that exceeds the specs of your $99 a month plan.
- BorisMelnik 11y agoI also don't want to be rude, but you are missing a really key factor: support. Companies will always pay a premium, especially with something as critical as hosting for support. It is not a race to the bottom, it is a race to build a superior brand experience. Would I rather go with a $30 plan with a server in an insecure building on an earthquake fault line, or pay $60 for a server in fort nox with excellent support. Side note: I was looking at Liuqid Web the other day and saw they offer guaranteed 60 second phone support for all plans.
