    Q4 2013 Lowendtalk Top Provider Poll Results

    Oh we are good Mao = same page on this. Concerning that votes get tossed and there is no public declaration of such and why.   I see a few votes I would take issue with and should discard.   Things like that should be public and frankly, people smacked for cheating/poor behavior. Results on...

    Q4 2013 Lowendtalk Top Provider Poll Results

    That's funny. One person in the voting did like 1.5 point votes to 2 providers...  Again, I have no clue how management over there counts. There were people with invalid vote allocation too.  Like gave away 6 points or more.

    So, for how long has this been going on Mao :) ?   1st = 3 points 2nd = 2 points 3rd = 1 point BTW:  Glad to have you on board / still here. Makes sense that some folks were allocation 6 points and others were saying WTF.   I NEVER realized this :) This makes number far more troubling...

    GreenValueHost outsources customer support to India.

    I don't want to bust your balls too much @JohnSH, but that server allocation snafu we all read about for a customer was ugly friend. You guys stable and staffed or what happened on that? Is Austin still over there too?

    Mark my words: 2014. Lowend.  Mass consolidation. Deals won't be done for even 6 months of revenue due to volatility (specific to low end hosts). I don't think a single deal we've seen in low end in past year involved real money trading hands.  All of them felt like understaffed sole...

    Q4 2013 Lowendtalk Top Provider Poll Results

    My favorite vote, and there were several contending, had to be GreenValueHost voting for HudsonValleyHost (their special "partner" / upstream / who deals with them). For those at home, raw data on votes cast (not the inflate fivver schema - pure votes): rank name votes 1 RamNode 101 2...

    "The resource race isn't working anymore and while they were the first, it's obvious that other inhouse brands are doing far more than they are for 'about' the same cost." The resource race sort of still works if you want to be highly risky, piss off your customers with outages, suspensions...

    Q4 2013 Lowendtalk Top Provider Poll Results

    Oh, I have plenty better to do.  :)  Counting the priors will probably happen in due time. This quarterly got attention/love cause of the new vote inflation racket and my prediction that it was to inflate the totals for the Top 3 vote getters to make them look more in-line / consistent with...

    Q4 2013 Lowendtalk Top Provider Poll Results

    So from the unaudited totals: 551 total votes cast. 218 different voters. So LET Q4 2013 poll results were decided by a mere maximum of 218 people. RamNode the top vote getter received 101 votes or 1-in-every-5.5 votes... Prometeus (just that brand) received 50 votes or 1-in-every-11...
