That’s for our website hosting, if you read carefully, you would have known.
We pay our service and stuff with USD, which is generated from my private personal income.
We do not dig into peoples sources code, without permissions from the owner, we don’t even do it with permission. If users want help with their code, they must post it in a text themselves or upload a file in the ticket/code-help channel, etc.
We do not check each client what their use our service for. We do check a few clients by going to their websites, to see if it’s roblox-related. We do never check their source code.
That’s completely normal, most projects and companies does have an investor, it can either be the owner, employees or even a third. And all projects & companies who don’t have any income, but many bills they have to pay - only losing money, have minimum one investor.
How would Bloxy.Pro (the company) make money to sustain all that, at the moment they can’t, since they pretty much offer a free service and a very cheap paid service, so it’s normal that someone has to inject money in it, I don’t see what’s suspicious in there to be honest.
The concept of free web hosting was to never make a profit. It was to ensure people have a reliable service to go to for free hosting. This will never be a service that “pays for itself”. There will always be someone working and paying the bills as long as the service is active.
This is great and all, but a word of caution never use a web host by any Roblox member, It’s not a secret that a majority of these hosting platforms are just copy and paste resells, there is absolutely no such thing as a Free host without caveats, servers are expensive and nobody is just going to use their bank account out of their own good will.
If you want your server rooted, or if you want your data in the hands of an unexperienced individual go right a head, you’ve been warned.
Web hosting servers tend to not be as expensive (companies will literally sale a reseller plan for $10-$20/month), but yes, you are correct that you should always go for paid over free web hosting.
Bloxy.Pro has recently changed owners. Even though pricing changes will occur on our paid plans, our free services will remain free. Our new owner @RunionScripts promises that. We will continue in our relentless pursuit of providing you with top-notch service. This change marks the start of a new era of our history, and we have no plans to stop or change that.
It seems that rq_9s has completely gone dark and has entirely abandoned Bloxy.pro, foreseeable? probably. However it leaves many clients, including me. In a sort of limbo state, our hosting is still working well & we can access our control panels just fine, however rq_9s has completely deleted the discord server, changed his entire identity on discord, and has also took down the landing page of all aliases (Grovello, rbx.ac, NXGTHost, and bloxy.pro). Us clients had no prior notification of this, I just woke up to the server being gone.
Interesting. Wonder if RBX Domains is still around to this day as well.
My guess is that @rq_9s could not afford payment for the free service or had some serious internal issue with the team that manages this service, or it’s the typical Discord account deletion that all hardcore prison game owners do once a year.
They will probably be able to clear things up later, since it’s only been about two months since his last seen statistic. Possibly under a different account.
The thing is I’ve been around the DevForum for a while and have seen this happen to numerous other services that vary in their specialty, and the owners all seem to be very busy developers who own a community-based game with a community-based Discord server, just to have it shut down and “moved” or just gone altogether, just for it to reappear about a month later under the same or a different name. Typically happens with owners of prison games, where I suspect they delete their Discord account every year and a half. These hardcore prison game owners, and the groups that surround them are quite shady, but it typically happens with close communities that surround them as well.
