    Well PM him and ask him what the problem is. If he replies and gets everything working again then you are fine. If not, just cancel the paypal subscription also make sure you terminate your hosting account and find a new host. You're lucky it is only $10 that you may be losing.

    There are a lot of wannabes out there, some web host even have a web hosting company with a VPS. Before buying a web hosting you should be aware of....

    - How long has the web host been on the business
    - Their reviews
    - Uptime
    - Popularity

    Thats True but in his thread most member where recommending so i though i would give it a shot :(
    i did and i am waiting for his reply,
    You're lucky it is only $10 that you may be losing.
    Still its a hard Money earned :(

    Wells that True but its my bad luck ...


    So i have shifted to another hosting ... and will hope to ask for a refund and leaving him a -ve if he didnot refund.

    Is it correct if i proceed.

    If its paid via paypal , just file a dispute . hopefully You will get your money back .. btw yes have a talk with him first and If he is still rolling around without solving your prob , cancel subscription..

    I would suggest you to WAIT
    Do not take any action so soon..

    Atleast wait for 48-60 hours.
    Give them time.. There might be an error and they are working on it..

    Opening a dispute will create unwanted fights.

    Good Luck! :)

    I suggest you TMZ Hosting (Prilep here in DP)

    They have got MANY reviews, and they have got an Uptime report in their thread ;)

    I'm hosted there, and they are the best :)

    EDIT: SameerHosting is Working .. D-Moviez.com is PARKED FREE @ Godaddy ?

    Thx, LeVampire

    This why if I am buying here in DP I always go for those who has years of experience not from newbies coz the risk are higher compared to those who already have been in web hosting business for 1 year plus.

    I already bought 2 hosting here.(2 shared Unmettered Reseller) both from newbies and both are GONE!!!
    And also 2 hosting from signature trade (1 shared reseller(iWhic) and 1 shared hosting(prilep -TMZHosting))
    And my latest is a VPS from iWhic which made me so happy :D

    So for me iWhic and Prilep are both GOOD example of Hosting Provider with experience and with GOOD high reputation.

    thats way i don't like to purchase cheap hosting.

    U should check host uptime before purchasing or atleast check their client testimonials.

    maybe you need to spend a bit more time to screen out the bad host out of the the whole. there are still many good host there in hosting section check their uptime and itrader what will help a bit.

    Well I got burnt here too.

    I also had one account there, and I liked it so in a few days I bought another one. and now in one of my account all data is missing!

    Can someone suggest me reliable cheap hosting(cheap that means under 4$) :)
