Re: Need small hosting solution

I think this kid deserves every "lashing" he gets. I'm disgusted by his lying repeatedly here.

I have more confidence in removed See Profile's understanding of the big picture than you do.
For example say I went and said
www.cclhosting.com
and
www.surpasshosting.com
were running pos servers and I had no clue I'm pretty sure you guys would flame me for it
removed See Profile has a clue, you don't, so yes: you'd be flamed.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said it that way. If you scroll back up, you'll see that I said "In other news... this server is hosted at RackShack on some joke (not to mention overpriced) reseller account."

The server can have 8 Xeon processors and 16GB RAM for all I care, but the host this guy is on still looks like a joke to me.

No, you'd get corrected if you were to post something like that. I never said that the server itself was a piece of junk - I said that the reseller people look like a joke.

If someone here is a "WebPromo" customer, they're welcome to correct me. However, calling something a "joke" isn't exactly the same thing as saying that a server is a piece of junk...

Either way, if someone believes that I am wrong, they can drop on by and correct me. It's happened before and I'm sure it'll happen again.

Personally, I think you're just annoyed because I told it like it is. You say he deserved to look bad - and I assure you that I'm not sitting here, making up bad things to say about this guy. I've posted links to most of the stuff - and you can get most of the stuff I got by searching Google.

"I'm disgusted by his lying repeatedly here"

Just to make it clear, I Lied ONCE and it was in this very Topic and i posted again telling the truth, the other 3 topics i posted in were basically telling the person that asked about web hosting to look at OxygenHosting for the certain question they asked. I have never posted in the Hosting section of this site before other then these 4 topics and in 1 of them I lied.

So in other words you just decided to join in on Going over board and bashing me. I have been on these forums for a couple of years and I have seen problems arise and the mods would take care of it right away. Also I don’t recall seeing members of their forum ever act so childish and take it way overboard for such a dumb reason, until now with "removed" posts.

Its one thing to make my look bad, but this is going overboard and saying how my server sucks and what not when u know nothing about it and nothing about my service when actually its very good.

Just very surprised on what’s going on and how Some members are acting and making this seem way bigger then it actually is.

Thanks

Yeah, you lied once and made a few other posts to advertise for your host. IIRC, (I am a bit lazy tonight, so I'll have to rely on my memory) you posed as a customer in all of them.

said by bryanviper See Profile:

Overboard? Ha! You're kidding, right? How was anyone here bashing you? I Googled a little bit, found some facts, and shared them with the crowd.

How anyone can consider this "Going over board" is beyond me. Really.

said by bryanviper See Profile:

Yeah, I've been here a while as well... and I've seen mods "take care of it" before - many times.

However, it's clear that you were in the wrong on this. What is there for the mods to take care of? Do you expect them to protect you?

I never said anything about your server. Hell, now that we've brought up the server, why do you keep saying
"my server"? It's not yours. You don't own it and you don't maintain it. You have some reseller account from a host... the host maintains it - not you.

Unless it's a dedicated server or something; and if that's the case, ignore this part of my post. I still doubt it - I don't think it's your server - I'm about 99% sure that you're just doing the reseller game.

said by bryanviper See Profile:

Your post appears to have been made with the intent of misleading others - namely you pretending to be a customer. Big deal? Ehh.. not the biggest. But should we just ignore it and let you have your way. Hell no.

That’s fine and I totally understand. You guys are 110% Correct I should not of lied and the first post saying that it was my company etc I deserved that & maybe a few other comments from other people. But after "removed" kept on posting info about me & saying how my servers suck when he has no info on them nor has he used them or tried my service is just going overboard. But fine whatever let him enjoy his time & let him say whatever.

Bit it still does not change the fact that I offer a very good service.

To "Removed"
No of course not you should not ignore it at all. If I was in your shoes I would do the same Just not as Far as you have gone because unlike u I have some respect when it comes to peoples lives/info.

Also you have no idea if I have a dedicated server or Im reselling or whatever my business is with that certain company Im with. You don’t know what I do or anything. So please don’t be posting info about it that you don’t know of. I think you have gone far enough with all this.

I just hope that something like this never happens to you because you will want to kick yourself if this is a good source of income and it forces you to live your life in another way because of some guy thousands of miles away from you that you doesn’t even know, Decides to be un-respectful and just no thought for your life and destroys it for you.

Thanks

What info about you? You mean the public information? The stuff ANYONE can access?

P.S. (for the 23423rd time) I never said that the server sucks.

said by bryanviper See Profile:

See, you'd have a good argument if I used some of my sources to post personal information about you. However, I didn't. I used something that you probably use on a daily basis - Google. And I used a cool WHOIS script on one of my shell accounts.

If you wanted to keep your information private, you would not have posted it, and you certainly would have taken better steps to keep it protected.

I can make an educated guess:

Oxygenhosting.com:
   Updated Date: 16-mar-2005
Creation Date: 16-mar-2005
Expiration Date: 16-mar-2006

When we traceroute to your domain name, we end here:
14  ns2.webpromo-inc.com (66.98.161.242)  61.360 ms  61.446 ms  61.299 ms

That's not your domain, so I'm guessing that you're reselling. Not enough information, you say? Well, okay.

webpromo-inc.com registration info:
   Updated Date: 01-apr-2005
Creation Date: 22-jul-2000
Expiration Date: 22-jul-2006

Now, your Myspace-esque thing says that you're 19. webpromo-inc.com was registered almost five years ago. I find it hard to believe that you started an online business when you were 14.

I destroyed your life by posting information that is available to the public? Any Tom, Dick, and/or Harry out there?

If that's the case, you need to do more work on the "protecting my life" thing.

Good luck.

I don't agree with what you said. The point I was trying to make by posting all of this stuff was that lying does not work when you're trying to run a business.

I hope this guy's business does well.. and I'm sure it can do much better. He's just got to work on some (actually - on a lot) of stuff.

No hard feelings for bryanviper See Profile. I think he can do a much better job if he makes some major changes. I only hope that he learns his lesson from this.

I don't like when the first impression is a bad one. It tells that the person has no moral obligation to his customers if he crates a business relation through a scam. It just tells that in the future you are likely to see more along a similar conduct.

No man is not even that. Its the fact that Im trying to make some extra $$ to Pay my Bills like College. In re-turn im providing good hosting etc etc and all that. But not looks like its either not going to happen or its going to be very hard because of all of this. If you had stopped and thought "Hey maybe I should not post all of this, maybe I should PM him and see what he says and go from there because this could have a bad impact on somebodys live"

But i guess not you could not be bothered in thinking of things like this.

But anyways, Like i was saying you dont know anything about me and that company & How im getting service from them so lets just drop that.

Im going to try and end this post here as its going nowhere and I'm just digging a bigger whole as u make it seem.

So anyways. Thanks for your great posts. and have a nice life.

Thanks

Yeah, that's true. First impressions really, really matter when you're trying to run a business.

My point was that I am not doing any of this to destroy this guy's business. There's no reason for me to do that.

Been there, done that. I've had big bills, too... hell, I've got some pretty big stuff to pay off as well. But if I were running a business, would the fact that my financial situation blows give me an excuse to lie to potential customers and make my company look lousy?

So, let me get this straight... you are blaming me that your business is not going to have as many potential customers... and it's my fault, even though you were the one who lied to begin with?

said by bryanviper See Profile:

There are a lot of things I don't know. The cool thing about forums is that you've a chance to offer a rebuttal to anything I say.

If you feel that I've misrepresented you in any of my posts, please share and I'll try to keep an open mind. So far, I believe that everything I've posted has been - at least as far as I know - factual and accurate.

said by bryanviper See Profile:

So anyways. Thanks for your great posts. and have a nice life.
I hope that today's events have not turned you off from running a business. As I said before, I'm positive that you can make something better out of it if you made some changes in the way you promote it.

here's a very good cheap hosting solution

»www.iicinternet.com/web_hosting_services.php

unlimited disk space and 60 gig transfer limit for just 9 bucks a month!

i currently use the bulktransfer service which lets me have 800 GB transfer for just 49 dollars a month. no disk space limit means i can host as much as i want (i can even use it as a backup service for my computer if i wanted to)

check it out for yourself

Well for anyone thats interested in hosting, I own a hosting company and ill admit it :P so everyone knows it. Anyway if you need some hosting let me know via PM or AIM / MSN. Our site is currently under contruction but I will finish it soon . »horizonhosting.net you'll notice it says Blu-Hosting in the welcome message thats the old Company name. I have been doing hosting since 2003. We have a Plesk Server Havn't had any downtime with this plesk server and have been running it for 2 months no down time at all . 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 1 GB Ram. Anyway AIM: L1CacheIsEmpty MSN ricky@horizonhosting.net. You'll notice if you look at my posts i've made lots of posts on here so hopefully that'll count towards something. BTW the site may load slow. It's because of the way the guy coded it but again the sites under contruction. Our main site is »blu-technologies.com Prices start at 5.95 /month for Shared 29.95 for reseller and we will offer dedicated soon.

*sigh* here we go again.

There's no such thing as unlimited disk space. To make it truly simple - do you know of a hard disk out there that is capable of storing... everything?

I wonder if they'll let me host ~4TB of backups.
