RalphC of SELLWHM brought my biz down !

    I had bought dedicated server from SellWHM, who in´turn was reseller of BURST. Everything seemed to be going fine for 2 months suddenly, my server was down for no reason.

    I contacted him for support, no reply.
    Later when i check WebHostingTalk, i found he was trying to sell that comany to some other person. But why was my server down ?
    It came to my knowledge that he had outstanding bills with BURST so BURST had to shut down all HIS servers.

    Now i became the scapegoat.

    While i had made all payments, HE IS NOT REFUNDING MY PAYMENT nor compensating for my loss.

    WHAT SHOULD I DO to kick this bastards ass !

    Im also hearing alot about ralph c at many forums

    it seems like there has been some mistake done from burstnet also and no doubt ralph c was also careless but as of now what i suggest you is to be calm and talk nicly to that guy and ask him for solution
    because if you get angry and abuse him then nothing will happen and even u can not take any legal action against him as you have agreed with there ROS

    so just be calm and handle situation

    you may try again on MSN (gamerelite2005@hotmail.com)

    the best way i guess is to check all his domain whois info.
    i once did that and was able to contact an owner of my hosting account before.

    I am sorry for your lose but come on people a simple search on this forum for sellwhm you will see all his posts and past actions and how he scammed before, I do not understand why people do not do this before getting involved with a company.

    Its probably going to be difficult to get your money back if he keeps refusing, you may just have to try and move on.

    Sorry for your loss by the way.

    Yeah that would probably explain it. He probably doesn't have the money to pay you and that's why he's refusing to.

    He must be in a very bad situation.

    I would also consider it highly likely that he does not have the funds to refund you - even if he may/may not want to.

    You may have to move on and not dwell.

    Don't tell me you paid in advance for a full year?

    Contact Burst, you might be able to work out a deal with them if you have proof that you have paid sellwhm.

    The biggest problem with this situation is that Ralph cancelled all the servers he had with Burst.net. Which from investigating a bit is around 15 - 20. As far as I know only one person was able to salvage their server by working with Burst.net. And from what that person said, the only reason why it was saved as it was the last server to be cancelled.

    RaphChatain-IsAFraud does have some really good information on it, like reporting that RalphChastain (his personal domain) was taken down because someone narked to vBulletin that he was running a hacked vB License (lol). There are 4 people running it now. I hope this guy never gets back into taking people's money again.

    Because they do not read the reviews, and he keeps changing his domain name. So if they search the domain name and not his dp name or real name they find nothing. I encourage people to read all his past posts and make your own mind up about this..

    Me changing my domain names all the time? I used the same domain: sellwhm.com twice in a row and I don't even own dollarhost.name Even if I did, I don't intentionally scam people on purpose. I don't care who you are..it takes money to be in this business really! People do make mistakes and people do get through them! Matter of fact...the main reason why sellwhm.com isn't the way it is was many factors! Not just having off site backups! Matter of fact..the domain was registered until 2011 and I stayed up 5 months before the collapse of sellwhm.com and I didn't have the money to pay people back due to the fact that I have over $400/month of bills and charge backs! People just wanted the money back when I said on the TOS otherwise!
