Unless your doing some sort of SSD caching that may be the best option. <3 SSD caching.

Seriously do you know how to actually run a business or do you just see a good deal on a server buy it for a month, install software and think "This was easy, lets put some customers here"? I have never bought a product from you in any of your ventures because of the exact antics and lack of forethought you show in these little ventures. This one seems much like the INCERO blunder, where they too "didn't provide" the hardware,network, etc you wanted (or you had problems because you are not capable of setting things up on your own?) supposedly and a day later you closed down. Seriously, going into any node purchase you should budget at least 1 month for your own burn in, 1 month for beta testing and THEN only if you are truly ready do you release it to the public. You need to take a step back and maybe consult some already successful business owners for help with creating a viable business plan and setting up your servers and services correctly, along with burn-in and beta testing before moving forward with any other ventures.
TL;DR:
The reason you have no sign-ups is because of threads and ventures like this, it does not inspire confidence in your skill set or products you are trying to sell. Take more time developing your ideas and beta testing them before trying to move forward unprepared, then maybe people will want to buy from you.
Cheers!

It's not true that I have no sign ups. My LEB post was very successful and the customers seem to be very happy. Low server load, complete server stability, abusers got rid of immediately. The one customer with a problem with the service was refunded same day no questions asked and I still don't think that was our fault.
You can not judge my service until you sign up. I will not give you or anybody else a free VPS because you will abuse it and intentionally break my service then post here how horrible we are and that we're a scam that ripped you off when in reality you didn't even pay a cent for the service.
I am proud of ShoveHost. I am not proud of how I act sometimes especially my actions in the past. This snafu with UnmanagedServers.NET was because I miscalculated the overhead from KVM and mistakenly used the crappy hardware RAID this older server from QPS came from (not their fault, in fact they told me not to use it)- with software RAID10 it's a very stable and fast system that benchmarks well, and I look forward to expanding my infrastructure with them once I have enough customers to need another server in Atlanta.
I have distinct purposes and intentions with every brand I create - sometimes things don't work out but I always give refunds if neccessary and never screw my customers, unlike the pump and dump kiddie hosts that just delete all the data one night and disappear into the sunset at the end of summer vacation.
I'm in the process of financial planning to Incorporate and get an ASN. If I was not dedicated to web hosting I would not do that! I continue to improve my web hosting services by adding things like website builders, improving security, adding additional backup and restore software, etc. I continually modify my website to make it more straightforward and user friendly. I'm working on an agreement directly with GlobalSign for SSL's rather than reselling from something like ResellerClub.
I'm here for the long run and my customers mean a lot to me. I know I'm not always the best at showing that nor am I always perfect at what I do. But if everybody were perfect we would never have innovation.
If I could somehow apologize to Incero I would - Gordon could have treated me a bit better but I was in the wrong with unreasonable and impossible expectations, plus I lacked the knowledge at that time to run a KVM VPS service. Now I feel differently and would order from them if they didn't have my home IP banned from their ordering system, and I was able to set up my UnmanagedServers.NET KVM node the first try with minimal help, which is great. Every day I learn more about running a hosting company, helping customers, and improving the services I pride myself in providing.
I know this won't make up for my mistakes in the past nor the immature appalling behavior I've exhibited on WHT, LET, and sometimes even here, but getting stuck in the past is not going to help.

It makes me sick seeing one
I don't run a company nor do I render services to other people but it is pathetic that you didn't test things out before releasing it.

You know that you are a impulsive guy. And even if you know about your past you do not change your habits.So don't blame others that they don't trust you any longer. First change your way of doing bussiness and afterwards you can request trust.
I don't know if Alex Wein and Chris Banks are still on board. If they are not working any longer for him he might use the pluralis majestatis?

I have to hand it to you, that post was quite a read. It's good seeing something with a bit of substance coming from you instead of the previous drivel. Ignore the naysayers and those who want to put you down and go for it - put everything you can in to it.
One thing - you *do* have a history and no matter how far you go and where you run, people *will* remember it. You just have to make sure you don't slide back in to the old ways - prove them wrong and don't let yourself down.
