Hmm.. Looks Like I got screwed

[jstep]

Alright, I have been paying about $300 a year to host with this guy for the last 4 years. I have never had more than an hour down time.

The servers have been down for 2 weeks, and he has not been online since.

I do not even know his full name, but I trusted him, because he even made me a site or two for free. It has been very reliable up to this point. But as soon as I paid just over 2 weeks ago it went down.

Started the paypal refund, but his account has been emptied, what is likely to happen?

Anyone here that does hosting for np$, luckily I sold most of my stuff to someone, but I would need minimal space, and am looking for a very low price as I just lost a lot.

Thanks for your help

What kind of stuff do you need hosted? How much bandwidth will they need?

possible he may be on vacation and the operator doesnt know?

I need np$ hosting at this time, paypal is frozen

Wow...this is now very very very complicated

apparently jason the guy I got it from, is dead

Or so his "wife" said, apparently a user from namepros knew him and confirmed this?

this is all very weird to me now, and I do not know what to do

Well, he was reliable for 4 years and made 2 sites for you... Doesn't seem like the type of guy to just screw you now. Something happened to him is my opinion.

If he wanted to screw you, why wouldn't he have done it sooner?

That is exactly what I am thinking right now

Wow that really sucks if what they say is true. And its a sick thing to lie about if its not true.

Depending how much your sites take out, I can give you some free hosting till you can find a paid alternative.

Got to help out a fellow NPer in need!

Good luck in recovering anything you have lost.

Very weird though.

Also willing to offer free hosting for a short time until you get sorted. It is a very infortunate turn of events.

In all honesty your just as well cutting your loses with them as has already been pointed out he went this far without a hitch and all of a sudden this so chances are it is true.


If you do wish to take the offer up just let me know and will set up the account (using direct admin)

Sorry to hear about Jason.
