DP user Danielle: djlhosting.co.uk - bum deal

Discussion in 'SEO' started by DangerMouse, Aug 15, 2005.

    Since I have been unable to get a reply on this yet Danielle, I figured I'd post under the reviews section - it isn't positive...

    I signed up for the basic hosting package on Friday. I spend the weekend building a new site on this. On Monday morning my account is suspended, your account is suspended (www.djlhosting.co.uk where I signed up) and I've got absolutely no come back.:eek:

    Worst case: I've lost the money I paid you to host my website, the website (ok, yes I have a backup) and most importantly, the domain I registered.:mad:

    Best case: All the work I’ve put in over the weekend getting the site indexed is lost.:(

    I hope you aren’t planning to treat all your customers like this. Perhaps I’m your only one? I really don’t care but I would like to get access to my new domain….:confused:

    Please reply in-line!

    She sold me a site in order to try to pay to have this lifted. I got the domain but I haven't heard from her to get the content yet.
    www.xtreemsites.com - lol

    Hopefully this is a fluke and she has it enabled again soon

    yeah, fingers crossed. This sucks big time!

    I guess I can only praise the lord that this didn't happen when the site was indexed and ranking!

    Danielle has not really had a good Rep over here, and to me the hosting look unprofessional, shame really. DangerMouse, if you need I can host you for free (No-ads or anything). I don't know if I will ever be able to start a hosting company if this keeps happening in forums, I mean people will never trust Home-Grown hosts again.

    Very kind of your soapbath!

    I really don't mind paying the few dollars a month it costs to host my sites though and from now on... I want a dedicated tech support line where I can ring up and ball out if this kind of thing ever happens again ;)

    No offense but why would anyone deal w/ danielle in the first place?

    He/she seems like a real dimwit...and quite shady- IMO!

    yeah, i should... :eek:

    i don't like the way the other company has forced me to buying an "advanced package" when I'm only gonna be running a 20 page site on it...

    Anyway, I'm back online now (whoo hooo!) and will return my efforts to building my new site.

    Cheers Guys,

    Danielle (is a boy by the way) Daniel Leightley, for the bots that crawl ;)

    I have to agree with VS's boyfriend on the "Boys are so simple" line. That nic was chosen for the purpose of gaining something. Whenever a user "comes off as a female", attention follows quickly. Somebody also said "the internet is genderless" and on webmaster forums it should be like that until proven otherwise :)
