PATTAYA, Thailand – New on the Adult Site Broker Talk podcast this week, it’s part two of the show’s interview with Brad Mitchell, the founder and president of adult-friendly hosting services provider, MojoHost.
Founded in 1999, MojoHost offers cloud computing, cloud storage, virtual private servers, dedicated servers, content distribution network services, domains, and a variety of technical support services.
“In part two Brad talked about AI, trade shows and advice for aspiring tech founders,” noted Bruce the adult site broker, host of the show and CEO of Adult Site Broker.
Addressing AI, asked why MojoHost hasn’t started selling GPUs for language learning models to its customers, Mitchell offered a straightforward response: “the economics don’t make sense yet.”
“Here’s my very high-level view on this,” Mitchell said. “I’ve been in the web hosting business for 25 years. We’re a privately held company. My sales are north of $10 million a year. So no, we’re no Google. We’re not that kind of scale, but we’re not small either. I really do think we run a respectable size business. What’s interesting to the stock market, though, isn’t hosting companies. It’s when you look at valuations and multiples, it’s obviously AI is hot right now.
“Different solution providers touching that space, whether they’re making the hardware or they’ve developed the software or they have some other type of solution, they are getting the most attention and the most investment right now,” Mitchell added. “What I believe I’ve observed is there’s been a race of new companies that actually don’t function like a traditional web host. So, they don’t really have servers to sell you and all that other stuff. But basically, what do they have? They have GPUs in a data center. It’s a very thin offering.”
Mitchell further observed that some of these companies are “bundling with that smart software that makes it perhaps easier to build and deploy your ideas inside of those workspaces, which is really cool, but that also takes a pretty substantial investment.”
“What I see is my view in the marketplace right now, is it’s not my moment yet to be having that hardware in stock,” Mitchell concluded.
