    Now writing reviews about companies is really not my style, but when a company like TMD Hosting scam an innocent person like me that just wants to host their sites, then something needs to be said.

    One of the reasons I say this is because we were hosting a few wordpress MU installs with them, which only had 300 sub domains. It was on one of the shared hosting platforms that they offer, so what they did was suspended the so called unlimited package and said we would need to upgrade to a VPS to handle the MU sites. So we chose to upgrade to the VPS at around $80 per month.

    30 Days later they decide to randomly suspend the VPS and tell us that we must upgrade to a dedicated server to get it back online. Enough is enough these are introductory wordpress MU sites with only 300 blogs. So we just told them to shut the sites down and give back our left over money because we paid for 3 months upfront on theirrecommendationthat the VPS was the worthy option. Then they had the cheek to say that they would not refund our money because we were using too much resources, when they were the ones that initially recommended the VPS to us.

    So we have basically been left out of pocket by TMD Hosting and besides that we have also lost our sites that we built up over a period of a year. They constantly try to make out that the paying customer is in the wrong and they are ever so right.

    I know that hosting companies do tend to lie about their packages selling unlimited etc, but TMD Hosting totally go past that and cut the site off even when hardly nothing is being used. This hosting company really does not care about anything except money and I would warn anyone who is going to host with them to think again big time, they may promise you all these great packages but when it comes down to it they will cut you off and keep your money unless you upgrade.

    So legally how would I go about getting the remaining money back? Its not a lot but its principles in the end

    Refunds are not payable by most companies if your accounts
    are terminated for breach of TOS.
    Refunds are also normally only available for the first order
    from a new customer for the first 30 days.
    From what you say you have been with them much more than 30 days.

    Did you actually READ their Terms Of Service?
    You have probably been caught up with the excessive
    resources usage clause that all hostig comapines have.

    I doubt you will get any refunds no matter what you do.

    You most likely will not get a refund. I'm guessing you didn't read the terms of service that you agreed to. It states:

    So they are not scammers, it's just your personal dislike of your experience with them.

    If I am reading this correctly you had 300 blogs on a single shared host? Well sub domains at least.
    Some hosts will suspend you for more then 2, I think you got lucky.
