Matt, I was a very early slicehost customer, and just wanted to say thanks for the years of great service and straightforward business. I really loved what you did and hope you're continuing to do well. Cheers!

My pleasure, thank you for believing in us.

+1. Slicehost was my first VPS provider. Loved you guys.

Thank you, that means a lot.

I paid $1399 for my TextDrive/Joyent "Three Martini Lunch" hosting, about six years ago. Which works out around $20/month. In retrospect, paying that amount up front doesn't seem "too good to be true", unfortunately.

Unless we're talking about American Airlines' Lifetime Pass.

Except that those are being cancelled as well - http://articles.latimes.com/print/2012/may/05/business/la-fi...

For abuse, which seems somewhat reasonable. And for the other people, they offered their money back, which is probably the best way to solve this kind of thing.

LOL this was always a secret dream/inspiration of mine and they've shafted those poor folks too.
