High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Hmm, okay.
The e3-1230v5 costs $300 (cheapest)
32GB DDR4 isnt cheap. Cheapest - a bit is around $200 (Would likely need to pay more than that.)
Case + Motherboard $100 (cheapest)
The 2 SSD's are $150 (again cheap)
So if you got the hardware cheap, it would cost $750.
Since you are selling 16GB for $80 a year. Selling all 32GB would make you $160.
$750 / $160 is about 4.6.
Therefore you would have to be hosting servers for 4 and a half years to make a profit. Thats without thinking about colo costs. (Power, bandwidth etc) Which will be more than $13 a month (12 months / $160 = $13 and a bit). Therefore you would be making a huge loss.
Hmm, not very believable.

its a strategy for lure in people on a great deal and when they get rid of the deal some people might buy at regular price. Just a thought though
Possible, but i would say thats not the case.
If you're opening a host and want to draw customers with the low prices, then you would already have a site setup and ready to go. (Which since there isnt a link to the site anywhere in the thread, its unlikely there is one. (People are always eager to post their site link))
The thread design is okay. But if i just spent 1k on hardware, and set myself up for even more losses so i could attract customers. I would have paid a good amount for an amazing thread design.
Most people wouldnt renew longer than a year. Most servers either fail or move to dedicated in the space of a year. Very very few stay in the middle ground for that long. So the existing customers wouldnt buy for full price after that. If you're only draw is the low prices, people wont really buy without it.
The OP keeps likeing everyones posts (so is active), without replying. If he paid all that out for the hardware etc, its unlikely he would let people say anything to suggest its fake without as much as responding to the suggestion.
Though, tbh I think the whole thread is a rather smart joke.
just do the price of the plan and divide by 12
