pfft - he's a 35 year old virgin who has no friends and sits on his PC all day, lonely because of his choice of lifestyle.. He tries ripping people off because he's too arrogant to be hired for a job, so his only way of making money is by threatening and blackmailing people..
god knows mate.. :s sounds like a pathetic moron to me (the blackmailer) and Judd - yeah thats a better view on it
Never, ever buy hosting from anyone you can't find proper reviews written about them, or if the site isn't professionally design, with support forums to ask questions before a sale. Anyone can set up a "hosting service" nowadays.
thats not entirely true - as I have a mate who offers hosting to anyone he see's that is in need of it. He has no site or anything, the only thing he has assigned to his webhosting is his netname... and he's a very decent guy and relyable hosting...
You deserved everything you got. You're a fool in my opinion. If anyone threatened me with something that stupid -- I would immediately remove my files from his host and find another host. How did you host with this imbecile in the first place?
Also, anyone who doesn't take regular backups deserves everything that they get. Hard, but true - you don't risk your income or business by hosting with some numpty and scammer like this. I can't believe people are so gullable.
Glad, you have got it sorted. There are weird people in this world. You have learnt a lesson, never buy a hosting service which is not widely known. Cheap services are often bad. Go for quality.
As I said, if you can't find reviews for him, or if he doesn't have a professional website, get the hell away. If all you can find is some guy on the Internet endorsing his "mate", RUN.
