| Sorry to hear about your problem I have no idea what you need or what price you expect to pay, however I thought I'd just let you know that I've been with my main server provider for 2 years with absolutely 1st class support and service and no problems at all. Check out www.pronic.biz and if necessary contact bert@pronic.biz for further information, ask if any special deals etc. Like I said I don't know what you need/expect but my experience has been so good I thought I'd pass it on (I'm not affiliated to or rewarded in any way by Pronic). |

Thanks for the thoughtful heads-up, Mr. W. Scott
Although there will surely be others who will be disappointed, I do not believe the originating user/promoter had/has any larcenous intention. He simply didn't have the necessary cash flow and/or credit standing to pay for the host server while awaiting monthly receivables. As such, for now, I think it's best that I withhold his identity. Still, I am none too happy that I promptly prepaid two months of hosting last night, minutes after receiving a billing statement which failed to disclose the forthcoming shutdown. A prompt refund has been promised and I believe this promise will be upheld. He's not a bad guy. Although this may be somewhat indiginous to inexperienced, under-funded, fly-by-post promoters, it's as much my fault for not following my original instincts to host my sites with a more conventional provider. Fortunately, I was wise enough not to move my corporate agency site to his server. Had I done so and the site suddenly vanished, I'd have given the appropriate go-ahead to Sal and Guido. Ba-da-bing! Scott

| Could you please PM me the Namepros member name PLEASE? I have a deal with a NamePros member for a logo design in exchange for hosting, and I don't want to do any work if he's the one. Thanks! |

 ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=7042 As for the server, I'd check out Milescape.com (managed reseller accounts), Rackshack.net (UN-managed dedicated servers), liquidweb.com, hostrocket.com, etc. They all seem veery reliable and cost effective. | ||||

| I have paid $20 a mth. for over 5+ yrs for hosting of 3 core business sites here: www.PAIR.com Not the cheapest, but they have never failed me in ANY area. I highly recommend the great Pair Network. Best of luck restoring your sites. |

| Hey, you guys (and guyettes) are great. I really appreciate your recommendations, kind assistance and generous offers. My PM box runneth over ... with not a single gratuitous sales pitch. Incidentally, as expected, I did receive a full and timely refund. As I indicated at the outset, I never felt that the server syndicator's intentions were dishonorable. Still, a lesson learned. Thanks again. Scott |

| I'm glad to hear that all is kosher here, Scott ... particularly in regard to the refund received. To me, it points to the fact that it was simply an error/misjudgement ... and we can all rest easy. Appreciate your update, and I, too, have received referrals as to your request ... which have been forward. This thread may have indeed offered much more than its intended, initial request ... and in true Namepros spirit. Best of Luck with your venture! -Jeff

Furthermore, as previously indicated, he's not a scoundrel, just a member that took on a venture that was more than he could handle. Scott
And one more thing, Jeff ... You are the CoolestHost Scott

| How much space/bandwidth are you looking for and what kind of server are you looking to be hosted on?? If you can PM me some specs I can set you up with an account for a reasonable price.
