We wanted to see for ourselves what makes the Seychelles-based team of superheroes tick.
I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 15 years.
VPN99 is a home-grown project that was initiated by my employees at ServerClub.
Then it started rolling.
Who is your typical user?
Do you cater to a specific VPN need (eg. business user, torrent downloader)?
What is behind your Cheapest VPN business model?
How do you manage to maintain your service for just $0.99/month?
It has to be something completely different.
I couldn’t come out with anything else than make it 5-10 times cheaper than any serious competitor.
Of course, having our own hosting with 1000 servers and excellent contracts with providers helped a lot.
With Opera offering a free vpn, do you see a future for paid VPNs?
When Google Chrome will add VPN function as a default use-case then the market will start shaking.
But Opera with 1% of web app market share is not a threat at the moment.
What about free VPNs like Windscribe and Hola, what is the differentiator for paid VPNs?
None of them can offer servers with gigabit bandwidth and helpful support.
To use it once for something - sure it will work.
How does being located in Seychelles benefit you?
Seychelles are known for business-friendly environment and security-friendly policies.
You do not allow P2P traffic, why is this?
As such, we’ve decided to forego this particular client segment.
Some VPNs offer a lifetime deal. What do you think of this strategy?
I think it’s a pretty straight calculation.
But don’t get stuck with only lifetime users, without fresh blood you will soon shut down.
Currently we do not have plans to offer a lifetime deal.
What is your policy with regards to Data retention?
Put simply, our policy is that we do not welcome criminals.
That’s a segment of users we are willing to lose as well.
What makes VPN99 different from other VPNs?
I could say simplicity of usage, high speed servers and excellent support, but everybody says that.
