Loyal
Hordit Users,
This note
is to make you aware of some changes that are coming to Hordit.
We’re all
being affected in one way or another by the economic recession playing out
worldwide. We at Hordit are not
immune. Our intention from the start was
to provide a base service for free supported by a subscription service. Unfortunately, funding dynamics are changing
and we have been forced to alter our plans.
Effective
immediately, all users will continue to have free access to all Hordit features
for 90 days. After 90 days you will be
asked to subscribe to our basic service in order to continue using the
site. Cost for the subscription is
tentatively set at $5 per month or $45 per year (a 25% savings).
New users
will be subject to the same deal – a 90 day free trial period after which time
a subscription to Hordit can be purchased.
In
addition, we will be rolling out new features every 3 to 6 months. Though I’m hesitant to say too much about
what these will be, I will tell you that the much-requested bulk upload feature
will be among them. We feel the planned
features will only increase the value of our service to you.
As always,
we’d like you to be part of the discussion.
We’ve created a Google Groups discussion to kick this around.
http://groups.google.com/group/hordit/topics
Anyone can
participate in this discussion and we’d like your feedback.
How do you
feel about this change?
How do you
feel about the proposed subscription price?
What new
features would you most like to see and be willing to pay for?
And if you
don’t feel comfortable participating in the public discussion, feel free to
reply to this email and let me know directly.
Sincerely,
Matt Brown

It wasn't a surprise than free unlimited forever file storage is not a serious businessplan with or without recession... i hope you will find a lot of customers which are able to pay
good luck guy(s)

humm..... (this was me at the beggining, when i signed up for hordit. Why? Because giving free unlimited storage forever in life is something that i was not beliving in hordit. I'm glad i didn't put none of my files on hordit. I'm sorry, but the global recession can not be an excuse for everything... Media Fire gives FREE unlimited storage for free users based on the publicity that they put for free users. It's an excellent way to offer free storage (to pay it).
