EDIT: LET and LEB are not really the best sources for trustworthy companies. Not to mention if you see any server that is cheap to raise a brow, its not going to last.
I noticed
I expected some down time sometimes and an overloaded server (but since I only serve static HTML that wouldnt' be a problem), I just didn't expect them to unplug their entire operation. So I don't think this warning topic matters much to them anymore either
Wow, that's annoying. Good you have local backups, but in case someone didn't: would they at least allow to create a backup and download it before vanishing?
I don't think so, they've even unplugged their own hosting website now.
Ah bad luck mate that's always horrid being scammed. You do so much round here and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is very very grateful, so it all seems doubly unfair. Wish you the best of luck finding someone reliable and honest.
It's really not about the money (which really wasn't much
), but the fact that I've been spending my past days fixing stuff is .... annoying ;P
I did get several offers though, and I've been postponing moving to a VPS for a while now, so long-term, I'm going to be better off without this webhost.
At least they should give users (LoyceV, in this case) an acceptable time to download data. They ignored the probability of losing important data for LoyceV.
I haven't lost a single file
That's the one benefit of not having a VPS: I had to create all files locally. On a VPS, I could lose data between backups if the shit hits the fan, but
this data isn't that critical anyway.
