Yes, absolutely. As a rule of thumb, you should only seek investment as the last resort. Also there's a big difference between business angels and venture capital. Imo too many new startup goes thru the rounds just because "it's what you are suppose to do to become legit".
Great, now we just wait that Microsoft, Googrola, Samsung or Apple buys the patent :/
I agree, this depends so much on what type of hosting you are looking for. When it comes to shared and VPSes, HTML table is way to go. But when it comes to moving servers worth of $500000 to your datacenter, then I really expect that the company has some employees who I can talk to and negotiate the price.
I can relate to this guy. About month back I noticed that one of my servers (VPS at HostV) had dropped and hadn't come back for a week. It's used for dev stuff and acts mainly as storage for repo archives. Long story short, HostV had suffered some sort of file system problem, all my files were gone and they didn't even bother to send me an email. I can live without the files and shit happens but not emailing the customer, that's just idiotic.
Didn't realize it has been 20 years already :/
