Lub said after the end of RTB hosting that he used this server: https://shp.servermania.com/order/product?p=566 It costs $140/month, and if Lub had 70 clients like he once claimed, the revenue would be $420/month, so the profit would be $280/month. But my estimate of his clients may be wrong. |

Can confirm RTB hosting averaged ~$100 profit a month. Servers for development, backups and main RTB were an additional $90 a month. Can also confirm we didn't make off with loads of profit! |

But to be blunt, Lug still comes across as a totally incompetent kid that wants everoyne to pile on his crappy choice of VPS on which he has slapped the label 'hosting service'. There is no infrastructure, no development, nothing to show. I said this before, but just to reiiterate, there is no need to go through Lug for hosting. In fact, it would be more difficult to depend on him to maintain it and process everyone than it would be to just buy a vps and download blockland and your ftp program of choice if desired. |
