Edited: I got the name wrong, oh dear!
Nice find though, which does prove they've been around a while. It said in that thread they only give you a vBulletin licensed board with hosting, if you take-up their 5 star rating service, which you have to pay 12 months up-front for.
PS: Thanks for that smiley Mark, I'm adding that to my own board. Love it for links!Last edited by MRGTB; Fri 4 Jun '10, 11:06am.Comment

I've been meaning to make a button for the editor bar but can't think of a suitable small graphic to use for it that describes what it does.Last edited by Mark.B; Fri 4 Jun '10, 12:52pm.MARK.B

Greetings.
Let me try to clear up some of the speculation and rumors. While it might not make sense to most or any of you, it does make sense for us.
We do not transfer, resell, or give out licenses for vBulletin from our site directly. It is clearly against the rules of the vBulletin license.
A) The licenses come from the source, vbulletin.com
B) We buy them for our customers, at full price, directly from vbulletin.com
C) The customer then obtains support either from GlowHost, since we offer support for vBulletin, or they can get support directly from vBulletin directly since they own the license, the account, and their vBulletin logins.
That is all there is to it.
The customer gets a real software license (brand new) and real support from vBulletin. They also receive quality hosting from us. We believe that if we provide quality hosting, they would have no reason to change hosts. Sure there are always cheaters out there, but the majority of the people using our service are not scammers, and end up staying with us.
It is win-win for everyone involved. The only party that stands to loose anything is GlowHost so it is a great incentive for us to provide a quality service. If we gave out vBulletin licenses and poor service, we would have been out of business a long time ago.
We belive in our product and that is why we think of this offer as an acceptable risk for GlowHost.Comment

Yes, it does explain it very well
Personally, though, I think it's a viloation of customer privacy for vBulletin to give out information on our account whether it be 1 license or 1000 licenses. It is our account, and that account isn't there for the free world to know anything about.
It's a business relationship and I can't imagine what would happen if we started throwing around private details of our customers on our public forums.

That depends, what if they are buying cheap vB Licences sold by people for next to nothing (even expired) that gives them access to download and use vBulletin 3.8.5 (not vbulletin 4). And they install instances of vBulletin 3.
There is no license renewal yearly cost fees involved then, they could make money doing that. But I can't see how if they are offering vB4 installs, due to increased license cost. But in saying that, you don't pay yearly anymore to download vBulletin 4 latest version anymore.Last edited by mdelcour; Fri 4 Jun '10, 12:57pm.Comment

The only place you can buy vBulletin and be absolutely sure it isn't a scam is www.vbulletin.com.Translations provided by Google.

However there are hosts that purchase vBulletin for their clients for a fee
If the answer is yes, why are they even paying that extra fee? When the license is theoretically being purchased by the person who owns it. I just don't get it?Comment
