Only one location available?

Hi, yes we currently have Ashburn Virginia as our location as this is the ideal location for eastern USA residents. If other locations are preferred, let us know and we will deploy a node in that location if enough demand is out there and the expense of getting a node there is not too cost prohibitive (Australia unfortunately is the first to go in the "non feasible department" due to costs to rent a similar node is easily 3 times if not more for a equivalent machine and bandwidth specs).

Thanks you for asking for clarification and you have a nice day!

Let's Encrypt?

I guess you can't afford an SSL certificate - especially for a site that handles billing.

Hi, Please be informed that paid SSLs are paid majorly for their approval processes. In practice both paid Domain Validated and free ones (at least with Let's Encrypt) offers identical security features.

Thanks you for the understanding in advance.

I am fully aware of that - I am not dumb.

I am simply stating that you chose for the cheaper (free) option instead of actually getting a paid ssl.

We are simply stating that we chose a free alternative to help make our operation runs more substantively instead of "plating everything in gold". As long as it standard encryption as stated in our Privacy Policy to facilitate keeping our customer information confidentail then this is not an issue utilizing a free SSL to do so.

This is just like if someone were to say Linux is not a "way go to go" because it free and Windows should be used instead.

I hope this help you understand our stand on this matter and thanks you.

The Owner of this company (Ricky) is a prick. I joined their LiveChat to ask a few more questions regarding their hosting services. I joined the chat and requested to know how many current clients they have, He replied to say that it was against their Privacy Policy(Which I read through and stated nothing of such sort). In response, Ricky banned me from the chat.

You will simply not get anywhere with this company. $11.50 per Gb is 2x what premium hosting providers provide currently. Psychz is a good Datacenter to resell from. Props for not using OVH. No one will purchase as there are many other premium providers that offer Premium Hosting for about $5 per Gb AND are a registered legal company. Just a couple of tips mate.

1. Don't be a prick and ban anyone who requests more information
2. Might want to get WHOis Protection on your domain as EVERYONE can see all your private information
3. Get registered if you want to offer Premium Service. I checked Ohio's Business DB and Diversified Hosting is not legally registered.
4. Limited SSD Storage? Even cheap $1 per Gb companies offer unlimited.

Otherwise you won't get anywhere. Again, don't be a prick.

We simply do not disclose ANYTHING regarding our clients to the general public. We take privacy toward our clients seriously here and only pass them as required by laws. This is including our client base "size".

Please have a look at the previous response on how we charge our services.

Hi, I would like firstly clarifies how we price our services.

While your are absolutely correct that 1GB is $11.50 a month, but as you need more resources (including but not limited to RAM) you will notice that is much cheaper than this (down to around $7/GB if you order in our largest RAM add on). We do this due to it more reflect true economics (the more is purchased/rented at a given time the cheaper the "production" cost results in). This also to serve that customers will enjoy a bit of a "price break" for staying along with us while upgrading to our higher end plans and/or adding in more resources.

Finally you may still disagree that our pricing is much higher than much of the competition but additional justifications are as follows.

• You mentioned ordering dedicated servers are the "better way to go"? Do you know how to secure one from bottom to top? How about setting up and keeping Mutlicraft running? Apache? Mysql? and PHP? Don't forget you also have to configure the firewall as well. Then we are still not done with system administration, what about checking logs regularly to ensure nothing abnormally is going on? What about ensuring there is plenty of CPU and other resources at your disposal at all times? and the list goes on to optimization. Forget all that work (or the $50+/hour Administration charges) and let's us ensure the OS and underlying software are in no less than optimal conditions!
• But we also are not stopping there! When you finally behind Multicraft you still need to setup, maintain, and keep your server(s) in top conditions. While for some Multicraft is "easy enough" but when you could use "a lift" we will be there for you. Whether if it for a full installion, helping you configure some settings, helping to troubleshoot a log, or even to help you in any ways to help your server to be successful (we go beyond just "tech support"). You can be rested assured that we got your back!
• Then finally we reinforce your experience with DDoS mitigation that will keep most attacks at bay (we got 40Gbps mitigation per machine). Plus we even include FTP remote storage to secure your data. Never again do you need to submit tickets just to take/restore backups (of course we will be happy to help you do these tasks if necessary), you can do it just the way you like it! After all a backup solution is not really a solution if you cannot take, restore, and delete data at any time.

Thanks you and you have a nice day!

In short $11.50/GB is not our pricing model and we are willing to go beyond for our customers.

Thanks you for vouching for us for using a proper supplier

1. We banned you for "probing for Client Information", nothing more and nothing less. We never ban a legitimate chatting session.
2. It mostly public anyway and will be once the brand is registered at any rates. We do not feel it will protect us much by having this. Thank you for the information however.
3. As per laws of Oho we do not need to register a business until and only then it brings in $xxx/year of profits. Which makes the most sense while we are at it. Why pay and put efforts into this if we are not even "off the grounds" yet? We feel that once we are starting to earn some regular income then we will indeed pay for registration to take in it's full benefits and to comply to legal standards required once nearing this undisclosed level of productivity.
4. Let me know where some unlimited SSDs can be brought and then we will introduce this offering as well. In all we be honest with our customers into providing what we are able to provide. No ONE is able to provide truly unlimited SSD disk space (they all have strings attached and/or the customer will be booted for "resource abuse" if an "abnormal" usage is reached).


Thank you for dropping by.

I highly doubt you will even break even.

 

[FTSOwner]

I highly doubt you will even break even.

One of the other reasons we charge these pricing to ensure we do indeed upkeep our business operations. Rest assured that we made absolutely certain that our pricing is able to holds up to our operation costs and as well as some increases in costs as well.


Thanks you.

We use Blesta billing panel. Please think before bashing at us for using illegal software.

Thanks you.

At such a stupid price you ain't going to get any customers.

1st of all, Asking "What is your current Client Base" does not deserve a ban. It is asking a simple question. Seeing as you are "Offering way better premium services" for a high steep price, possible future clients deserve to ask questions. Those "Securing a Dedicated Server" and "Offering True FTP" don't cost an extra penny to provide. Explain to me why should a client pay $6 more per Gb than another Premium Hosting Provider for something that literally takes 10 minutes to do and doesn't cost anything. As a host it is YOUR JOB to secure the servers, not something clients have to pay for. Even if you say you are secure, people don't have to believe that.

For Example, Staminus. Dear old Staminus. The best DDoS Protection that is currently out there. Promised their clients that they were the best out there and have the best security. A few weeks ago they were hacked because they used the SAME root password on all of their routers and boxes. They stored Credit Card data in PLAIN TEXT. Their services were offline for days. All of those promises and they were still shit with their security.

Prime example of a good host that is doing everything right.

1. Pricey SSL to secure Billing
2. Registered Company
3. Good reasonable prices
4. 40Gbps DDoS Protection (at no extra charge)
5. Unlimited SSD Space (When node is full, Admins go around and clear logs)
6. They don't shit on people in chat

BoomGlow People have to be aware of Flaws in companies. The hosting market has gotten so out of hand that people are getting scammed, cheated, and hacked out of their money because companies like these are run illegitimately and illegally.

 

[MCHosting]

Ok let's make some things clear. If a UK based individual founds a hosting company, then it does not need to be registered unless the company is profiting over £8,000 annually. I do not know where this business has been founded, but if in the UK then I do not believe that this company is 'illegitimate'.

The owner resides in Ohio and to run a web-based company. There are certain rules and regulations you have to follow. Ex. CC data has to be encrypted, site must have SSL on any page requesting billing info Etc.

 

[FTSOwner]

At such a stupid price you ain't going to get any customers.

Sorry but "stupid" is not the word we use here and we gotten external interests and comments that our pricing is reasonable for what we do and provides.

I just noticed that your admin page is very visible to the general public - The admin page can be accessible by just typing /admin on the end of your website's URL. This is a huge vulnerability and makes it even easier for attackers to exploit your website, so I recommend for you to change it.

Thanks you we will see what we can do regarding this.

I understand you two have some improvements to this business. However, it is much more professional and mature just to give constructive criticism rather than just ruin the thread. If you have issues or problems you would like to point out, why not either PM FTSOwner.


This is great constructive criticism and I suggest that both MCHosting and Produce learn from Lurker's post.

I agrees with you and thanks you for the contribution.

BoomGlow People have to be aware of Flaws in companies. The hosting market has gotten so out of hand that people are getting scammed, cheated, and hacked out of their money because companies like these are run illegitimately and illegally.

They are entitled to ask non sensitive information questions. Internal information that is irrelevant to provisioning a Minecraft instance are off limits.

We are simply stating that we take security more seriously than an "amateur" and some large companies like the one that you stated.

Please let me know what you means by "true FTP"? Although our FTP servicing does costs us, it not the single element that makes up our pricing. Plus I will state it for the third time we do not charge $11.50 PER GB. For the first? Yes but not for more RAM.

1. Please be informed that Let's Encrypt is functionally the same thing as a paid SSL. A SSL is paid because of the approval processes not so much for it's "quality". Instead of the case of moving up to different validation levels. Which for the amount and conditions we are bringing in at this time is not required to "upgrade" to such different validation level.

2. As BoomGlow stated there often a threshold you must exceed before you are deemed as an "illegal" operation. Where we are located is not an exception.
3. There is plenty of information on why we charge this pricing and everyone have difference in what they believe is "reasonable". A lot have to do what your looking for. Don't need to "ring" for support often then you may think it "crazy" but for someone who does.. They may feel that the support we offer to them is well worth (if not better) than the pricing having to be paid for it. Again we do not just offer "GBs" but true servicing.
4. We already do this. All servers are provisioned behind this protection.
5. We feel that their space are their privacy area as well. What if an admin of a Minecraft server want a year's worth of logs? We can let them do that since the limit is actually there based on what matter (how much of the disk is consumed). Plus by doing this you also still not providing unlimited disk space.
6. We never used "potty words" in chat and we will never do so.


Thanks you

FTSOwner Please read this: https://www.sslshopper.com/article-do-i-need-an-ssl-certificate-for-my-website.html and 2Gbps can get knocked off by a script kiddie in his moms basement.

 

[FTSOwner]

Oh I see, I agree that SSL is good to have as its more secure and the user will probably feel more relaxed if there's a SSL certificate. However an SSL certificate is not legally necessary, plus by using a billing software such as WHMCS or other billing software it generally handles payment information and client data securely.

FTSOwner Please read this: https://www.sslshopper.com/article-do-i-need-an-ssl-certificate-for-my-website.html and 2Gbps can get knocked off by a script kiddie in his moms basement.

Please be assured that both of our website and the billing platform (Blesta which is said to be quite a secure software) are SSL enabled and people are forced into HTTPS protocol so their prviacy are most assured.

MCHosting are you confused about Psychz offerings? If so the reason that your seeing 2Gbps on their default offerings is that Minecraft related usages are entitled to be upgraded to 40Gbps of DDoS mitigation if you inform them this (at this point of time at least). Which is why we do have this mitigation at our disposal on our current machines. Please be assured what we advertise is what we deliver as we are proud to be providing honest servicing.

If anyone have any other doubts about what we deliver please let us know and we will be more than happy to clarifies things.
