Chris Schear - Assclown of the month

Quote:
Name = Chris Schear
Email = v7inc@packetmonkey.net
Phone =
Subject = Wow, talk about high prices
Question = Your hosting prices are ridiculous. $79.95 per month for a
1GB
plan? Your customers would be wise to switch to site5.com. 2GB plans
for
$24-ish per month. I think I\'ll start contacting your customers and
advising them of better deals.

Got this about a month ago. Of course, the Internet is full of assclowns that have nothing better to do than spam people complaining about imagined wrongs - usually people who are too much of cowards to utter a beep in real, face-to-face life.

Site5.com may be cheaper, but then they don't have 24/7 phone support either. In fact, they don't have a live person answering the phone during business hours even. The primary reason V7 customers choose V7 is for the customer support. 24/7 phone support, with a real, live English speaking person answering the phone.


Another reason they choose V7 is for the daily backups. Not just daily, we also have weekly and monthly backups. And that's peace of mind, and they have come in handy more than once when customers have accidentally messed up their own sites. Ask site5 for backups and they tell you to get a dedicated server and do your own backups.

And the bandwidth of that plan is half the bandwidth we offer.



I responded:

Hi Chris,


You might want to also tell people to stop wearing Gap and Levi
jeans. I'm sure the local K-mart has cheaper jeans, but for some reason
people tend to stick with a trusted and known brand.


Cheers


John

He then responded saying that site5.com has an Alexa ranking of 37,073, which for some reason "trumps" my Alexa ranking of 6,596.


http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=www.v7n.com


Now, is this just my imagination, or is this turd a candidate for assclown of the month?


I am sure that there are a lot of more affordable hosts out there, but thank God their customers are mature enough to not go spamming me every time they think their host is a better bargain.

The guy is an idiot. I highly doubt a v7 customer would switch hosts because some moron tells them the prices are too high.

I'm a very happy V7 customer and no, John didn't pay me to say this.

He's right, people don't mind to pay for quality and quality isn't just some space on a server.

Exactly. I can't wait to see wait to see Chris search his name only to find out that he's an assclown.
