Can I just flush my ----ing wallet down the toilet now? Your parents should be doing the same damn thing, they just lost over $800 Dollars on your little fiasco. If I were they I wouldn't pay another damn dime to you.

They havent gone bust at all ... Read his other post.

What he's going todo is close kelmhosting because of the rep it has gotten already and start under a fresh name and keep tight lipped.

What does NC_TOM have to say about this? After all, Alex's mom allowed him to be co-owner...

If you guys are really showing sympathy for him, then you have half of a brain. The name "Alex" is not somebody that you would want to do business with.

Agreed with you :)! Hes played around with everyone on this board so many times, and fooled us. I say no sympathy for him and his little ventures.

I don't want anything to do with a 12 Year Old who has zero knowledge in financies, or legal background. This is why hosts runned by larger corporations last longer, they usually have lawyers and finanical staff just for that department. This is why the financial situations on these teen-runned hosts aren't that great. My knowledge is quite small about financies.

We can do a site for you for around $100. But we would need the money up front. If you are interested, then reply and I will post a list of sites we have done.

Come on...I couldn't agree with you more about this Alex character but do you really think that many were fooled by him? I mean, he was laughing stock from the moment he posted. ;)

Many still think he can restart his domain and offer real services. He can't do anything in that matter.

Sure he can. What he needs to do is sit back for a few weeks, and or months and work out a business plan. He should also do some research on his competitors as well as understand the attitude in which he needs to aproach the hosting industry. I believe that if he does all this and takes a serious approach next time he should be able to come back in a much stronger fashion. However, It takes a lot of time, money and in some cases sleepless nights to run a business. You cant let that get you down. Its all part of the business Alex. However, at such a young age, it is important to get at least 7-8 hours sleep a night, in order to function properly. In fact that is with most age groups but as you get older, you tend to sleep less. Good Luck Alex, and I hope you take your time next time.

Unfornately lack of sleep cause diabetes... I wouldn't risk it people. Get the 8 hours of sleep, I get 10.

Evilhaze, he doesn't have knowledge in financies or legality, so how can he run a host?

One Word: Education

Its this thing that happens when you go to school.

Giancarlo: Over sleeping makes people go insane, and have other psychological disorders.

This would definatly explain a few things.

Over sleeping makes people go insane, and have other psychological disorders.

I get two hours more sleep than others do... so what? It doesn't make people insane, evidence? Sometimes I only get five or three. Which I shouldn't do anymore.

Its this thing that happens when you go to school.

Macro-Economics and Law? Not in the eighth or ninth grade.

This would definatly explain a few things.

No it didn't.

He also needs to read up on server administration and how to operate linux if he wants to prevent things like this from happening again. BTW this is my 200th post :)

Opps... i think i said it the wrong way, well he was trying to fool us :) Giancarlo again your spot on! he has lack of education at this age, he needs to go back to school and come back when hes a tad bit more mature.
