Don't use officialhost.info free hosting

[tandiono]

hey, if this guy nick majinbuu1023 ever offer you any hosting. Please don't take the risk. Just take a look at his hosting site : www.officialhost.info
closed down without any notice and when i PM him, he reply that he is going to be away for 5 days and Offline. WTF!

 

[Host47]

good point micro, it's only scamming if he has taken something from you and you've had nothing in return, but on the other hand i'd be pretty mad also if my host deleted my site without warning.Not a good advert for a web host.

There's always a "downside" to free hosts, as you probably realized, a stable source of revenue is usually a major issue. The same applies to low-cost hosts, there's a big risk in taking advantage of their services, since you're paying for what you get...

 

[tandiono]

damn

he should at least inform me a few day before closing the acc. I've a hard time looking for the reliable hosting and also have been transfering my files up to 12 hour straight and still not done yet.

 

[Tippy]

Free or not its not the point, like Tandiono said a warning email would have been nice, you say no money was lost well, time is $...

 

[skrilla]

yes i agree. It doesnt matter if he is paying or not.. There was a deal made when the hosting was offered. I bet the guy didnt say "you can have free hosting, but i have the right to shut down the account without notice and you cant be mad about it." Cuz im sure if tandiono had any clue that somthing this was going to happen then he wouldnt have decided to take the free hoting. There allot of free hosts that this would never happen. :0 Not to say majinbuu1023 isnt going through a hard time, but he should still take care of his responibilities. And yes, even if it is a free account, it is still a RESPONSIBLITIY!!! The least he could have done was to let tandiono know ahead of time.

Totally agree with skrilla

Yes, he has basically given people free space and deleted there sites away from them without any prior warning. What if someone hosted a very important essay? What if someone hosted a file that was very important to them?

These are all Dylans responsibilities as a webhost.

 

[Veolus]

Same here..

 

[zaros64]

sorry.. couldn't be here.. hard times .. very hard times.. I assure you no scam at all.. it was in my tos, We can delete your account at anytime for any reason and I had no contact details ..

also it wasn't my choice to shutdown it was my host.. I can offer hosting but I am going through a hard time and Its not my choice at all..
I have not been here for ages and I did not contact you because you didn't add your email to cpanel.. then you msned me, I didn't know I had you on MSN becaues you never messaged me but I offered you more hosting then you logged off then I had to go away for 5 days and now I have to again...

Goodbye,
Dylan

ALSO MY LAST WORDS.. I will probably not go into the free hosting buiseness again and you have to realise I am 11 years old.. BUT if you want hosting pm PolurNET or go to http://PolurNET.com ..

 

[Veolus]

I'm also thinking of completely blocking all the forums i visit and getting away from this business and focusing on school.. anyways, good luck in whatever you end up doing, Dylan.

:o Well if this isn't the POT calling the KETTLE Black .... - I hope you Read what you just posted As many times as it takes to see the Irony of you coming out against another Host in open. Do you have any idea how many complaints the staff received over folks losing their Sites and Database work because of you ? (BTW - Didn't I give you a warning for doing this before?).
Think before you post

 

[Veolus]

We gave people a warning and we gave them more than enough time to get their backups.

Somebody agrees to give you a chocolate bar every day. He loses his job and can't afford you to buy you any more chocolate bars. Is he scamming you? Even if you were to go hungry for a day, maybe yes, he would be doing something ethically wrong, but nothing wrong legally.
