| Anyxhost down?
Does anyone else use anyxhost.com? They've been down for days and I have my site hosted there. (Free account). All other sites hosted there are down as well. Have they gone out of business? I'd really hate to move my site elsewhere.........again! |

| Both nameservers appear to be down. My traceroutes are timing out around the 16th hop, at concentric.net.
I would suggest giving the technical contact for the domain name a call, but it looks like they've used a proxy to register the domain:
Technical Contact: RegisterFly.com - Ref# 10940411 Whois Protection Service - ProtectFly.com (10940411.fly@spamfly.com) +1.2122952121 Fax: +1.2122952153 230 Park Avenue Suite 864 New York, NY 10169 US
In that case, there's not much you can do  |

I was hosted there too and have been searching google for forum posts / articles in regards to this
It's a real bitch too. Would like to know why they've gone. |

I would file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau along with Attorney General in New York. If you paid money, then you have every right to complain if your not happy.
I would also file a complaint the website. »www.ripoffreport.com
Office of New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer »www.oag.state.ny.us
The Better Business Bureau of NY »newyork.bbb.org/ -- Dslreports.com Forum No-Spin zone starts here. »www.antihotmail.com spammers_are_scumbags@antihotmail.com |

| Eitherway it's not about the "You can't bitch if it's free"
It's just the fact that it's a bit out of the ordinary for a host to suddenly one day not load and all pages gone. Even for free ones I've had in the past they've emailed you and let you know.
There's just no logic in how they've dissappeared |

I don't really agree with that statement...nowadays anyone can be a webhost...There is NO guarantee that they'll be here tomorrow.
That's why this forum is here. To help people find a host that suits their needs and help people avoid scams.
Remember, you get what you pay for, and while it's not always fair when you put your trust in a host that disappears overnight, it's a learning experience. |

| As a guy with no credit, I'm now thinking of going with Yahoo's discounted business hosting. (They'll charge my phone bill.) It's a little more expensive and has fewer options, but..................................they have been around for awhile and I'm not afraid I'll be left high and dry............again. I can get a discount on the service because I'm a SBC/Yahoo DSL subscriber. |
