Small webhost robs me...
Hiya,
Just though I'd share. Not so long ago I was looking for a webhost, and after a few offers I was intrigured by one that seemed to be just what I needed.
500Gb hdd, 'unmetered bandwidth'
$20 setup, $80 for the year, will even register my domain for free?
Sounds great.
After paying, I didn't hear anything for days. Then when I did get my account, it lagged horribly and the control panel was almost unusable.
Then when I tried to upload anything, I just got error after error after error. Bearing mind at this point I also had a paid designer waiting to build a site for me.
When I finally received 1 reply to my 10 emails, and it was finally fixed, I look a my accounts nameservers and realise the host si nothing more than a reseller selling budget hosting!!!
I promptly asked for my money back, as he promised me a 7day money back guaruntee, and my account was only functional from this Sunday, so I figured no problem its well under 7 days.
Now he says he wont refund none of my money, he owns the domain (which is quite a good domain IMO) and it's tough luck.
I'd love to laugh at $100 but Im just starting out and thats pretty much most of my investment.
WTF can I do? I've already set up Paypal dispute. The user is on GFY and Im giving him a chance to act professional about this before I name him and his business. Im sure robbing a 19yr old of 100 bucks is hardly worth a hit on his rep.
