    Hey there Aquarezz im Ryan, and im sure you talked to me via livechat for forcium ... im not talking in Forcium's name here, im talking on my own (you can quote me if you want even)

    1. About uptime, i know that this happened, the servers got hacked several times and now they are fixed and much better, and they are working fine ...

    2. About speed, there were ALOT of illegal accounts running in the background such accounts were using alot of CPU usage therefore making the server EXTREMELY slow, that even clients couldn't see their sites & login to Cpanel/WHM nor WHMCS ...

    3. About 30-days moneyback gurantee, I know, you talked to live chat, me & other representative, I have sent the message of your request of refund to the owner, however, if it is passed 30 days, then its passed 30 days mate, we cant add extra 1,2,3,etc. days just to make you happy, you had 30 days to "test" forcium ...

    4. The owner of forcium, and im sure about this, didn't block you, he didn't use msn for several days now, and as im working with him, should i also consider him blocking me if he is simply OFFLINE?

    5. About the VPS, Forcium doesn't supply VPS servers.

    6. About Status2k - the license has expired ... and yes it was a legal license, till it expired

    7. Overall, even though this is my word, and not formally Forcium's word. I have to say i helped you on live chat upto the best of my ability, if you think this isn't true, then i just cant believe it, i mean i did everything you needed within couple of minutes and yet you are very unsatisfied...

    Im not defending Forcium or threatening you, but this is my opinion,
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,
    Yes indeed, you were the only one that ever helped me good from Forcium!
    And about moneyback, I don't understand, it was not passed 30 days
    I asked it the 29th day and than it wasn't the 30th day
    I had to ask it to THE BOSS and he only came online some days later
    So in fact I was in 30 days, not out
    4) Well, he was offline on my msn and not on my friend his MSN list ;)

    5) Well yes, I saw that sentence in his nick .. and I'm not blind :s

    6) OK, sorry than for misunderstanding ;)

    7) Yes I know, but why didn't it work than?
    I asked only for php files and you gave me all cpanel crap etc too :)

    But yeah, thanks for helping ryan
    But still I think Forcium is very bad...

    You can get better Ryan! ;)

    Hey Guys,

    I just saw this post and I thought I would respond.

    Aquarezz - I have been on the live support system for the last 48 hours and I do not remember speaking with you. But I will address all issues in this post.

    Uptime - We were hit by a denial of service attack that took us 3 days to fix. Since I have come aboard a few days ago, we have not had a single downtime other then apache being recompiled and that was just a few seconds offline.

    Speed - I have not noticed or heard any complaints about speed issues. No tickets have been raised, and I have not been informed on live support of any issues. If someone is having a problem they should contact me so that I can work with them to fix it.

    30 day money back guarantee - I do not see your ticket about your refund. Can you PM me a direct link please, or add it to this ticket so that we can verify your information.

    Status2k - That license was valid when I came aboard, and I will be contact status2k to see what happened to invalidate it.

    kjmcculloch - Contact me and we will get your issues worked out. If I know about them, then I will fix them.

    Starmild - Yes I did post that I was looking into the issue, and all requested refunds are being sent today.

    Any other issues please email me at erik@forciumhosting.com or contact me via ticket or live support.

    Sincerely,
    Erik Van Norstrand

    Hi erik,
    30 day money back guarantee - I do not see your ticket about your refund. Can you PM me a direct link please, or add it to this ticket so that we can verify your information.

    Well, I talked to live support for that
    The person said he would Pm the admin to give me moneyback
    He told me nothing about making a ticket
    If he would told me, I would have made it, and would get my money...
    But he didn't tell me and now I have nothing

    He said he would PM and also that I had to contact so I thought everything I did was good
    I didn't know something about tickets, I only heard that too late...

    So it's not my fault, it's forciums..

    Forcium has been bought out by another hosting company. With that, I take my leave of them.

    If anyone has any lingering issues, please let me know and I will forward you to the people in charge of the buyout.

    Thanks,
    Erik

    What Erik said is true i am one of the Guys who bought out this struggling company, in 24 hours of buying it we have dealt with over 200 matters, we are moving all accounts from the terrible servers they used and putting them on reliable servers (All accounts will remain intact) i cannot vouch for what the last owners said & promised but our company have over 6 years in the hosting business, All current users will be treated with high priority if you have issues contact live support we have over 30 staff on board the Forcium project to deal with matters that are already here, As for our current users of Forcium you will be given a bonus for the trouble that Forcium has put you through with their lack of knowledge in the hosting business, Unfortunately we only bought the business and unfortunately we didn’t get the bank assets so we cannot offer refunds but what we can tell you & promise you is that all accounts, will be moved to our servers, all current users will be discounted on renewal, and down time will be at a minimal as our servers are set up and configured before we house any users in them, We do promise a 99.6% uptime we do offer live support, email support, ticket support and phone support (Phone support will come into play this week), we also offer around the clock support with fully qualified customer service representatives not children or people pretending to know what they are doing, i think i have enough covered for now, if you have any further problems or Questions please feel free to contact me Rickie Murphy Co-Owner of the company,

    Kindest Regards Rickie Murphy

    Thankyou Rickie for another attempt at rectifying this mess,

    For those of you who don't already know i am the other part to this business, Along with Rick i am the rightfull 50% owner of Forcium, and as stated above we DO NOT and WILL NOT Condone the Activities that this company have participated in, We do however need the help and support of all of there ill-treated customers. As stated above we are trying our best to Rectify the situation and we have invested alot into the project, We don't have any plans of selling out again, The company will soon become a bad memory, and all customers WILL be happy at there new location.

    Some things that we are prepared to publicly release about our new team,
    We are ALL English/American Residents, We all speak 100% Fluent English, We ARE here to help, and we ARE planning to run our helpdesk 24 Hours per day and Shortly our Telephone Support Lines. to bring this company upto date.
    100% Customer Focus is the main factor right now.

    We are happy to announce that we have rid the internet of yet another bad company. It's been a long 24 Hours for Rick & Myself and the whole Team employed to assist on this project. And we feel within the past 24 Hours we have made a significant turn around, With alot more to come we request you all stand by and hold judgment for the next couple of weeks.

    You guys with forcium may want to read the rules of dp.

    no sharing iTrader, bumping each other's threads or other forms of double-teaming.

    So that means you can not all be posting in this same thread.

    I'm quite amazed anyone would buy out that company. With all those cheap plans I don't see how they would make any money at all. Investing in a company that is a failure isn't that great of a plan.

    The only reason it was failing is down to the lack of knowledge in the Company's Admin and Tech team its self, plus the amount of free hosting accounts they had a few other problems.
