On 08/04/2008, i read an hosting offers which adveristed by Resellerscene.com in the “Reseller Hosting Offer” section of this forum. They are offering decent amount of hd/bw with low prices so i decided to gave a try on them. But before i did, i emailed their sale representative to consult if they allow URL shortening site to be hosted on their server. After 18 hours later, i recieved an email from their sale and told me that it was allowed so i went on signed an hosting package so called “Diamond Solution”. After completed my purchase and received my login detail, i immediately went on to uploaded my files and started working with my site. The first few days everything was running smoothly but then their server went down continuously afterward (Check siteuptime[dot]com/statistics.php?Id=69875&&UserId=87322). Well, for a server that outage 7 times within a month is consider bad enough but i did not pissed off because of that instead when they sent me an early invoice on 08/21/2008 before the due date 09/03/2008 i paid
immediately without any question. After few days later, i tried to accessed my site but was returned 404 page not found! I then submitted ticket to their support and was told that my site had been terminated because of violated their Terms of Service. They given reason was someone sent some emails with the shortened URLs created with our site to their mails adveristed about selling drugs? Funny wasn’t it? Why would someone bothered to sent mails to them without even knowing their mail account? Why they did not sent it to my mail instead? They should jolly well know that those are beyond our control of what users used the service for or redirected the URL to! Just like YouTube, they can’t control users uploads copyrighted videos too… What we as a site owner have to do is to wait someone to report the abuse content so we can/will delete it right? Why in the first place, they allowing URL shortening site (im sure they know what this service used for)but then now thing turned differently when gotten our money and worst still not even a month hosted with them lol. I asked them for a refund the amount that i prepaided for the following month (september) since i had to go but they declined. However, im preparing to file a Chargeback Recovery with my local bank since i understand PayPal will simply ignore non shipping items for dispute cases. The purpose of wroting this is to advice all friends out there to choose your host wisely or it would ended up like me.
