Mr. Gabe offered a promotional service to do a free website draft for interested parties earlier this year. I took him up on this offer and a line of communication was opened to discuss my vision and expectations. Initially, things seemed on track. However, 2 or 3 months passed without an update. When I went to inquire about the progress, he made numerous excuses about his white label company failing on him. Then he shifted his tone to tell me he wanted a down payment before he would proceed with the design despite just telling me his white label wasn't working out and despite this being a free "no strings attached service". He claimed potential clients stole his designs in the past and use them with another host, almost implying I would do that to him myself. At this time, Gabe and I were friends, I had no interest doing him harm, I just wanted the product I asked for so I could proceed with my own side business I was trying to launch. But if this was a concern to him, perhaps offering such a free service is ill advised.
In the end, the designs were never made, Gabe never recognized the lack of trust and professionalism shown, and I had to go to a different provider to create my website. This whole process lasted about 4 months. When talking business and profits, that's possibly a lot of lost business on my end. I hope that in writing this, maybe you will reconsider before giving "1 geek hosting" yours.
