    Hey guys this is a review about HostIcan.com personal expirence i had a website with them which was using up lot of resources i understand them suspending my site they gave me 2 chances & after the 2nd chance i have not used my site & i removed my name server from domain name so no one can access it. All of the sudden i can not login to my hosting account to get my data. i tired to access it via ip of their name server which is possible have did that lot of times but this time it does not work.

    I contact them they say your site was deleted automatically because the domain name was not pointing to our server. I was like ok i paid for a year can you restore my account the answer is yes. I was like great they said it will be done by tommo. Not done tommo contact them again they said we can not do it. i was like k just give me backup of my data & access to my domain name management so i can point my domain where i want. They did not give me my data until today its been few weeks. Also no access to my domain management they just send me a key to transfer my domain.


    Any suggestions on this what i can do to get my data back up ?

    Thanks

    Reason 501, never register domains with a web host, because situations like this occur. If you end up at a host that is jealous or greedy they will do anything to keep your service, which will mean messing around with your websites identity (domain).

    And always have your own backups.
    For backups responsible is the company,but you must have your own backups too.
    And I think,from the LAW,the company MUST Give your backups.

    never go for hosting company that offer your free domain, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space and lifetime hosting with one time payment, this will only get you into trouble.

    I just say they are just trying to mislead people and scammed you with what ever they can to get the money from you and after 6 months, 1 years they come and tell you, sorry you are using too much of resources and suspended your account with no reason and you don't even used their services they still suspended your account because they are desperate for money to scam you again and again. :)

    Just my 2 cents and honest review plus experienced on all this hosting provider.

    You are more then just right, I agree

    Very true. Although not the case with all host, just like godaddy is great with domain registration services and lacks the web hosting side, would be the same thing to expect in this situation. Too much free = red flags. I do wish you the best of luck in getting your data back.

    Also, ask them to check the /cprestore folders in there servers. If you just signed up with the host, and they just performed some recent restores for you, chances are a copy is still available there. The company will know what your talking about if you ask them that
