bring change to hosting section to prevent scammers

[StyXoN]

That's a good idea Hawk, but then again.. if one can buy a 2+ year old domain for hosting and put a hosting business up.. they can still scam people.

Some sort of vertification, but I don't know what..

Maybe 2 year + or legally registered? Then again I worked for a registered company that is now going down, but it's still an option

I would say 8 to 10 months min & under 300k Alexa

your idea will b helpful for users...old n big companies can restart their function whether new ones mostly vanished !!

You have to cover yourself. You can't expect the forum to police the number of hosts posted here and their recent records and activities. I guess you can expect it but it isn't a reasonable expectation.

Legally registered is a very bad idea.
First of all the last 2 big scams (RapidSpeeds & BoxSlots) were both legally registered.
Then you could just as well remove the hosting section. For example there's not a single RDP provider on KWWHunction that is legally registered.

i think you should ask for their identity card's scanned copy so that in case they scam some one you can put that in public
and i guess this can be implemented too as the scanned copy can be crossed out so that it can not be misused

[NaHoW]

The copied idea is a good idea to avoid scammers returning.
The publicly posting? Coming dude, gtfo to a shithole in Russia if you want to work that way.

Not possible.. their will always be scammers..

@Hawk, Blocking new company's is not a good idea. If thats the plan, then It gonna be just like SOPA invented by KWWH

Instead of that make a rule thread for buyers mentioning about precautions and importance of local backups or atleast uploading backups to their file-hosting accounts.

You clearly know, why people search for hosts on KWWH. Mainly they need cheap offers + huge disk + huge bandwidth + linking to filehost contents. And none of them interested in giving ID proofs. If you go to buy from a very big company, they will ask IDs, and price will be high. For getting something everyone needs to adjust something.
Its always better to renew monthly rather than paying quarterly or annually
