  • Understood, I just checked a few minutes ago but Franny said he "wasn't willing to backdoor us." Please close this thread.
  • Thanks @benz. I know you got one @Neoon, how about $20usd for your AnyNode VPS regardless of time left?
  • My vote is to give ispconfig a try.
  • If someone is genuinely interested, please private message me and we should have a conversation about our respective backgrounds. I will invite you to Connecticut to tour the property. Yes, Start.Coop is the 1st place we looked but their 2021 applications are closed. We came up with the idea after they had closed…
  • Since Direct Admin is not open source, we are limited in what we can develop for it. Does Direct Admin allow outside Developers to sell themes for it? Otherwise Direct Admin would be great to use if it wasn't proprietary. The 2 of us believe that ispconfig is the best open source control panel to start with and it's…
  • Agreed with the D/O insurance without a doubt. The hope is that the most important thing to come out of the Cooperative is an aggregation of tech talent to stimulate new streams of income. What other ways might a network of hosts work together in a Cooperative to benefit the group?
  • I don't get a discounted share for contributing the 2 domains. I pay $400 like everyone else. The 3 building's have liability insurance (in case someone gets hurt on the property) that doesn't come out of the Cooperative's bank account. If the Cooperative votes to build a datacenter, they will need to add additional riders…
  • It's a tight budget to be sure. If we have some success selling our theme, I believe the 10 owners would most likely kick in to cover a possible shortfall with the understanding that most startups lose money their first year. There's always the option to welcome new members or sell public shares as a "Limited Cooperative…
  • 1) Just under $2,000 for the Developer to create our theme for Ispconfig. 2) $1,500 to the attorney for incorporation and Registered agent fees. 3) Just over $500 in reserve to cover miscellaneous like the 50 Euros for the update each time ispconfig releases a new version and the administration of our Cooperative bank…
  • The most attractive attorney offer requires: 1) $1,300 to incorporate us as a "Limited Cooperative Association" which has the legal ability to sell shares if the owners need to raise capital. 2) $200 per year to be our registered agent which includes receiving mail on our behalf and having the domains registered to his law…
  • The proposed 10 owners would all contribute so we'd have $400 x 10 = $4,000 held in our Cooperative account administered by the attorney. We were going to reduce the buy-in for Mikho, Mason and Anthony because of the very valuable LowEndSpirit (but they're not selling so it's a moot point). There's a lot to do before a…
  • We've set our goal at 10 total owners but right now it's just 2 of us. He's in on all decisions. Nothing is unilaterally done. The Cooperative offer was posted just 2 days ago on March 30th so it's early yet.
  • I had been browsing the LET and LES forums for some time but never understood what went on behind the scenes.
  • What were the issues with LET that caused LowEndSpirit to be created? Were Hostballs and VPSBoard created for those same reasons?
  • I apologize to you then. I assumed incorrectly that you, Mason & Mikho were three equal owners of LowEndSpirit. Please let me make sure I understand then, LowEndSpirit will never be for sale because it's owned by the entire community of members?
  • I agree with you 100% and I have no control over that site which is under a different owner. I have personal control over HostBoards.com, Hostingboards.com, and WebhostBoard.com which do not lead to the TopWebHosts site we both hate.
  • I'm not trying to troll anyone Sir but want to respect your wishes. LowEndSpirit is your forum (along with Mason & Mikho). If you don't want this topic here I ask you to kindly delete it. I would indeed like to purchase LowEndSpirit as I believe it is an incredibly nice forum, very well run. I estimate the value of…
  • The forum is live, having been started in 2004 (with different name for first few years). So I ran it with the help of 10 Moderators for 13 years. The database was hacked in 2017 to the point that I believed it to be unrecoverable as you can see in the 2018 capture on Archive.org:…
  • We sincerely appreciate the feedback @Lee. Would you say Facebook & Reddit will take over 80% or more from the forums? Not all the domains are owned by the same person as we are a collective that owns the forum and we're seeking more owners to join us. There is a $400 "Buy-in" to join the Cooperative, see:…
  • Can I ask the reasons to wait for Rocky Linux over AlmaLinux?
  • Thanks for serving quality and affordability. Your good reputation proceeds you!
  • Ambitious of you @Mason & @mikho! Well done.
  • For the uninitiated, what is the story behind Codydoby?
