    He scammed me! His service was AWFUL! First when he uploaded my sites, he caused alot of errors he was suppose to fix. He told me he was going to fix them, then I didnt hear from him for a month. I kept messaging him, but he wasnt answering me. On top of all that - my sites going down about every 20 minutes and will stay down for an approx. 24 hours, come up for 20 minutes, and go back down!

    He emails me today, and I ask for a refund - and he tells me he spent my money, and doesn't have it - and he's in paypal debt.

    DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! THEY ARE SCAMMERS!!!

    Oh yeah. I forgot to mention, he told me the reason he didn't fix my site - was because he went on holiday. Are you serious!?!

    I can provide you with a reseller account without any problems. Have a look at my plans available at VernalHost.com and see if you like anything I have available. :)

    Not only that, you can check our Company page and see that our uptime is at 100% since March of this month (when our servers first went online) as well as our reviews being 5-star reviews. Hopefully in some way my company can help you out and sort through your messes!

    Warmest regards,
    Ricky

    Sorry to hijack your post...but DO NOT GO WITH www.gisol.com either.

    Their customer service is so aweful that I almost got sued because they promised to do something and never did...causing the person I sold the site to, to get very very annoyed indeed.

    connect-hosting is extremely unprofessional, they are on a vps and over sell loads..

    I also contacted fizzinghost.com about him ripping their layout and he agreed to take it down, but still hasn't .. this is 20 odd days ago.

    Its claimed to be a professional hosting...

    Okay, well when we set up the agreement through MSN messangers, I told him if he was unable to provide me with good customer service, I would ask for a refund. He said this was okay. Now, he's telling me there's no proof (since it was over MSN) and its not on his site (a money back gaurentee, but I could of SWORN it was on his site! Is it possible he just deleted it?) that he's going to fight the claim and I won't get any money back... What do I do? I paid him YEARLY in advance! :(

    The 1 thing you cannot afford to do is to try and save money on hosting. A good proven host is the important part of any site. Thank you for the information and sorry to hear about your problem but can't see you getting your $$ back.

    It's very possible that he removed that from his site to save himself in your case. So, good luck on getting that resolved..But, I really don't see it turning out all that great in the end. :( Maybe there's something my company can do to help you out, though?

    Fight the claim, Please pm me your IM email, i will help you with your case ;)
    Also, if you do not win the case, i will give you free hosting, yeah it won't be top of the range, but it's something.

    Yes, the guy who sells hosting for Connect-Hosting, or is the owner is on this site.
