if you wanna make money from your website make sure you have a solid web host on your side - not some guy out to fill his wallet!
I wasn't sure where to put this regarding my experience with my last web host...web hosting discussion or the scam alert section. But then i figured that maybe i just a bit foolish, and that guy was just plain incompetent, not a scammer, so i decided to post this here instead....if the mods feel that this should be placed in the scam section, so be it.
I am refering to a site called e-marketerpro.com, aka online-net-business.com, aka BestPayPro.com
Some time in October, i came across this offer. now, the sales page has changed quitea bit from when i signed up, but here's basically what i was promised
and, lastly
Now, when i signed up it was only 47 dollars a month, and at that time, i thought, wow what a bargain. Not for the resale software crap, but for the reseller account plus this new shopping cart system "Best Pay Pro" he touted.
side note, i figured that spending 47/month for hosting and an all in one shopping cart was a good deal. What it doesn't tell you is that Best Pay Pro isn't completed, i waited 3 months too long to find out that it'll probably be 9 months before it's up and running w/no complications.
but that's besides the point....Here's what the guy really offered:
* A resellers account comes with 1400MB of disk space, and 30GB of band width, but initially no support, after many complaints and threats the hosting support is now covered by his wife.
* Crappy ebooks downloadable from limewire or ebay.
* An overwhelmed "programer", that bit off more than he could chew, posting "reworked" versions of older scripts...sorry, surprise, these one of a kind just for member programs were not originals. excuse after excuse after excuse.
* The 2 "good" programs that were re dos of his work .... were somewhat decent are not for resale.
* A non existent service called "BestPayPro" wich is really a reworked version of "QuickPayPro" (found on ebay for a penny)
* a sales page that keeps changing, promising xyz, then abc, then blah blah blah....
After a month of no cutting edge software, i started to kick myself for making stupid decision, but i guess the straw that broke the camels back was when all of my websites went off line for 24 hours, and then when my sites DID decide to repear, it was a two month old version of what i had up....yes folks, that means our genius programer backed up the server two months ago. I lost back links, and traffic, and affiliate sales...my websites went down the week of christmas.
In investigating further, i found that others were angry with Mr. php pro, and would post their complaints on his free forum (which is now down...surprise surprise) ...but then he'd change they're posts and "re word" it so that they wouldn't damage his repuation.
so, i guess the point of this post is to warn others
* not to buy web hosting from a clickbank style sales add
* don't be a web host if you don't have the time for support
* if it sounds too good to be true....it is
i'm sure there's more...i'll add later
