Amazon gift codes is a risky idea. You'll either end up with no-one purchasing it because there is no /contract/ that you will get a VPS in return or you will have a lot of Amazon credit and no way to pay for your server.
Amazon gift codes are only to be availble in a limited number. (50 max)
That doesn't escape the fact it's risky for the customer, but hey-ho.
Could they not complain to amazon?
It's a gift card which is not really a form of payment.
Next payment method offered: cash via FedEx.
Not going to happen for such a small amount of money.
May be safer ha, at least you have confirmation of delivery.
what is wrong with bitpay?
I was referring to gift cards. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Bitpay, we use it internally.

Oh, look, I found one of his friends: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1395654
Heh, thread removed already, that was quick. tl;dr - some skid wanting to buy a VPS and publicly admitting he would use it to DDoS.

This thread is very long so I could not read it all but how do you expect to profit on such low prices? Will you even come out even? I don't think it's possible or why you would want to offer a service for so cheap when people pay much more for servers elsewhere.

Assuming he doesn't forget to breathe in the intermediate timeframe. Though I would find it amusing to see what would happen if the mental centre he's living in were to be made aware of his online activities - particularly the more illegal ones.
Overselling to the extremes. It works in the short-term but long-term it'll be unsustainable. He's going with the cheapest bottom-of-the-barrel Dedicated Servers with every single corners cut and using the free HE IPv6 Tunnel for additional IPv6.
In addition, the amount of work you get out of it isn't worth the pennies you get on top of it.
Not as much overselling as you think.
Our idea is to pass the saving to the end user directly.
I tell you something about 30% of users do not even open they VPS details emails.
Our idea for 32mb club is simple and cheap.
We monitor the profomence of the node 2 times a day.

August 6th.
We want to branch out and prove cheap does not mean crap.
We run on our own code of morals that we will not overload a server to the point of crashing and we care about every user who goes with our service and we do not see our users as a number but as a person.

You really, *really* need to read the entirety of this thread (and other threads he's opened) before even considering doing business with him. Get a clear picture of who you'll be dealing with - and keep in mind that he's not ESL. The kid's British, and almost 18 - yes, his literacy is actually that lacking.
