    Please provide proof before accusing anyone of bing a scam.. Because his site may be down does not make him to be a scam. (site NOT down) just not website on it..

    Did you get your account set up?
    Did you try contacting him here?
    Please show proof that he scammed you.

    No ia have not got my account set up.
    nameservers are not working also and there is no any respond to my emails

    The proff is that i paid him and subscribe from his site and after that in 2 days he dissapeared with the site and everything and was not responding.

    I waited for a week for situation to relief but it remained the same.

    No my site is there, forcium hosting had a small DDOS attack and he had re-optimize APACHE, ask him yourself if you want.

    Also please show me your invoice that you got from Host Genesis, to see if its even true, because I dont even know your email address.

    Everything is back online now, we had a small problem with a DDOS attack and its cleared up, and moved to my original host.

    Edit:

    lol, Your account was set up. Name servers were down because of the switch, and you didnt email me at all. Please get your story straight before you post a thread on the incident. Because I emailed all my clients and told them there was gonna be a switch and downtime.

    I would always tell my clients if there was gonna be downtime and any switching of some sort.

    So easy to trash someone... you don't even wait to see whats going on...

    And frankly I don't even see the point of this thread, if their website was indeed down, what were you warning DP members of? Cos they couldn't have bought any hosting from host-genesis even if they wanted to... so I would see no other point of this thread but to ruin their reputation...

    Thats the whole idea, to ruin their reputation! So that if they at some point in some day come back online with some shitty website, then people will start to think twice before they buy as they are already warned ;)

    He is not a scam he is a honest guy, his site was on forcium.com's server which most of you are aware of the problems hat he had. So that is why his site may have been down for a while.. His site is back up and everything is taken care of.

    This is really bad. for just some down time this thread is opened. This will effect on their hosting service reputation.

    You should think twice before pointing any one scammer.

    I can see what this guy is saying.

    I bought an account with them. Has been down for almost a month. Poor uptime.
    I paid them for a 2nd month and have paypal proof for this.
    However, they billed be again and I contacted their support ticket yet I have received no reponse after 2 weeks.

    So, I can see why he says they scam.
    My hosting is down, tried billing me twice! No way to contact the owner.

    However I am not concerned over the money as, it is peanuts and it is not really my main site. It is just the principle of them getting away with this but meh.

    What do u expect they are hosted with Forcium Hosting and they have terrible uptime. They are down right now as I post this and have been since 4am this morning.

    Switch to a real host like surpasshosting.com

    I host my real business there and my server is hardly ever down and when it is it never is down for more than a few hours in an entire month.
