Nah, didnt read it.

To much text.
Just hoped it was all legit.

legit 926 up, 163 down
Real.
Meaning: Not fake or Real(Cool).

a. "I swear this watch is legit ......... O.K fine, you can have it for $15."
b. "That new speaker setup he's got is fully legit and shit."

Clearly was proven wrong.

But i'm happy with hostbeyond


edit:
allot of text while was typing this.

Will answer some. ( even if you dont answer mine - dickhead )

You got suspended for using public rapidleech overloading the server and you still go on telling the same?
1. Never had a problem with the suspension of the rs2rs package.
You want to use more than 5TB bandwidth on a shared hosting paying $5 and do you think we were not justified suspending you?
2. Read 1.
How are we blamed if you forget password?
3. Didnt forget my pass penislover, It just got changed. Gmail-logs indicated noone entered my mails, so it has to be your fucking fault.
To use password reminder/open sales ticket one does not need to create a new account.
4. Recovery question changed | Offline messages didnt reach you guys.
You created a new account to request unsuspension of your site which used terabytes of bandwidth?
5. I asked for more than 12 hours ( mail was sent at 22.14 in weekday ) to delete the script. But I had a second package running at the time, so didnt care really.

Robin H Reviewed by Robin H on 23rd Sep 2009. WebThosting Discussion Thread I have a site with WebTHosting and they are trying to make me pay them $17 for my site back!! I know the owner is on this site and I would like an explanation and to tell you that it is outrageous! Maybe some of the members on this site know how I can get them back? I have never seen a web hosting company do this before! I would like my files back I have spent a lot of time on them. Rating: 5

Bentink, read my post above..
Edited it

Now, put aside the dildo and read it.

I havent experienced that. I switched to thehostingpalace.com they havent let me down yet.

This is what I find quite funny,

Chances are you more than likely owe them that $17, the same happens with host gator. You want your site back, simple pay what you should have done in the first place, then when they un-suspend your site, simply take a backup and move on.

Host Gator (US) does this exact same thing. I personally don't think its that bad and I would love to see what bentink has to say regarding this.

Bentink keeps awfully quiet ... must feel the hot wind in his neck.

There was a $7.95 monthly plan. If you did not pay your invoice in time your account will be suspended and and there will be a late fee of $10, so total $17.95

If you do not pay all due invoices we will not unsuspend your account. Hope that clears everything.

We never asked someone $17 just for providing a backup.

[SᴩiDᴇЯ]

Yes i say ban Them. You have my vote!!!

I read all the horror stories about webthosting.com. But for 8 dollars I wanted to see if all the negativity was true and asked a couple of questions online before signing up.

One of these questions was that if private rapidleech was ok. They confirmed that it was. I told them I would password protect the directory. Another was if I could store warez files. The answer was: 'we don't monitor the contents of the server'.

Setup was faiirly quick and received the hosting information.

Because my domain was not propagated, I tested the service on IP number.

Tried to load the Cpanel ... then the problems already started. It took a long time (like 3 minutes) before something showed and it only showed half. Out of the next 10 attempts 5 or 6 were answered by' Firefox cannot connect to the server requested'.

FTP timed out frequently. Opened a ticket and Sayan said that there were no problems on their side.

Then a host of replies followed. Some downright stupid. Talking about having no clue whatsoever. Not to mention rudeness about bumping a ticket after more than 12 hours of no reply.

I then finally asked them to close my account and refund my money. Then attempts followed to change my mind because they would improve their service very soon. I told them that if they would allow a discount or credit I would be prepared to wait. After three days of waiting they accused me of wanting to have free hosting while I never used the word 'free' at all.

The package I signed up for was Photon Pro and came with unlimited bandwidth and unlimited storage.

Surprise, surrpise .... when I checked my Cpanel yesterday I noticed that the quota were modified from unlimited to 15Gb space and 250Gb. And the website had all new packages. Not a single notification from Webthosting (besides the fact that it is unlawful to change the terms of the contract one sided).

Also filehosting/rapidleech are not allowed anymore. Then they suspended my account for having rapidleech (even it was OKed by online support).

So I guess they have their reason for not refunding my 8 dollars. So be it ..

This was my last reply to them:

'Before I signed up, I contacted sales support online and they told me that private rapidleech was no problem.

I don't feel like arguing with you people anymore for a miserable 8 dollars. Not only are you people crooks, liars and cheats, you are pretty stupid too.

I NEVER asked for free hosting, just for a reduction in fee until your services became useful.

My time is much too precious to keep on arguing with you.

Keep my 8 dollars ... I hope you're happy with it. It will give me just more pleasure to trash your services on around 100 hosting review sites .... starting with KWWHunction.com.

Have a happy day ....

PS To make your life even more miserable, I will open a dispute with Paypal.'

I don't know if Bentink reads this report, but consider this:

From your website:
'We allow all types of content including adult content on our shared hosting.'

From Paypal's Accepted Use Policy:

'You may not use the PayPal service for activities that relate to:

(g) certain sexually oriented materials or services

I reported your violation of Paypal's terms.

I saw in other threads that members asked the owner of this board to ban webthosting from advertising on here.

I sincerely agree with this. It has been proven that webthosting cheats and lies to its customers (and members of this community).

Support good services, ban the bad. Hail to boards like this!


End message to Bentink:

If you might have the guts to apologize and admit your mistakes and are willing to refund my US$7.95, I might consider to refrain from posting this report on 99 other review web sites.

[Phozon]

HA bentink i told you you where a scammer now i will tell you once for all fuck off scammer

Ps: hawk keep your promise

Hey,

Have you refunded or either give hosting to the clients who's account(s) you've suspended? A lot of users are stating that you are ''scammers'' and we personally don't want hosts which scam our beloved users. If, I, read another scam report and you've not given them a refund or an explanation to why they've been suspended then I will close ALL WebTHosting threads.

Thank you.
