Bad webhost Implihosting... what shall I do?

~~AzH~~ · February 21st, 2009

Last Monday my forum crashed. I was told it was because we were being DDOS'ed, I later learn it was due to a HD failure.

I lost everything I had on the server, because Implihosting do not do backups.

I'm pissed off with them. I asked for a refund they said, "we don't do refunds, have a nice day".

Fortunately I was able to restore the forum, but I'm still down £60.

You recommendations, dear peoplez of Filefrontz?

kill them.....kill them all.

I thought about killing them all, but that would be illegal.

Next suggestion?

Search for another host. Byethost is one of the best I've ever seen - paid as well as free.

I have a another host already. I have a yearning for payback. £60 worth of payback.

Where are their offices? 60 Pounds worth of payback could surely make some windows messy or some hallways stinky.

Their offices are in their bedroom at their parents house.

Then why would you go with them in the first place?

Buy some gasoline, dump it in the guy's room and watch it burn. Make sure you somehow fireproof the walls and door if you don't want the actual house to burn down.

Well since they quite clearly guarantee data backup facilities prior to purchase, by not providing those facilities then for all (legal) intents and purposes that's a breach of contract. Flag trading standards (or their local equivalent).

If they really are as bent as the contents of Uri Geller's silver draw (five minutes worth of googling says they are) they'll get bitchslapped right in the one thing they care about - their bank account.

Though it should be said, if you want to play within the system, your options are limited since the system is made specifically to screw people in situations not entirely unlike yours.
