I read some of the postings about HOSTurbo. I've hosting with them 3 domains since June. There was one downtime (as far as I know). Besides this no problems. The support is very fast and friendly. So what's wrong?

You're kidding ? . . . .right ?

:eek:

Try

http://www.tantralinks.com

or

http://www.swisslinks.net

No problems so far.

Most of the problems seemed to be unrelated to the actual web hosting 'services' (errr somewhat).

Do Not Want This Thread To Turn Into A War Of Arguments. So I Have Edited This Post.

Now You Guys Tell Me What Wrong We have Done That This Person Still Continues To Condemn Our Services. Any Sort Of Comments & Suggestions Are Welcome.

hmmm. . . . .Mayhaps you could point me to where I have "condemned your services." :rolleyes:

I only make reference to a couple of threads I read around here. . . . . .

The famous "Stolen Site" threads.

Thanks for making me bring those up.

I think I asked "Edi" a valid question. If he did read the postings around here concerning HOSTurbo; how could he possibly ask "What's wrong?"


As for you attacking my character. . . . . :eek2:

<<Edited for grammar>>

I don't think it's right for any host to give out its users personal information (such as his name and his sons name) in a public forum. No matter what the ex customers says, it still does not make it right to do so. The host has to deal with the matter professionally and not like the above example.

I would probably see if I coud take legal action against the host if possible for giving out my and my sons personal information on a public forum without my approval.

I though the same thing Mr. Amazon. If any company would give any of my information in public, without me knowing about it, I would give my lawyer a call.

It could have been his CC#, or SS#, not just the name.

What good does it do for you to edit my name from your post when they're still listed in microsol's post?

At least I kept a copy to show my lawyer before you edited.

Feel free to PM me.


Thanks for the advise guys!

My Apologies To "AnIdot" For Attacking His Character & Giving Is Personal Details in A Public Forum. As I Do Not Want This Thread Into a War Of Arguments I Have Edited My Post & also request "microsol" to edit his post. Sorry Again (to AnIdot) For Mis-Understamding Your character.

Last I knew it was Illegal to release customer
information....

And I did not delete anything....
I have never! in my 10 years at this had a problem...
Until I signed up with HOSTurbo...

Why would a "Host" tell the customer they screwed
their account up? When the customer knows they did nothing...

If I was a host I think I would have said
---
we will look at the
problem and try to fix it.. if we can not we will have to
setup your account again.. (I'm Sorry) but it will be the
only way to fix it.. and we will monitor your account actions
to try and insure this does not happen again...

Thank You...
Support Team

HOSTurbo provided me with the WORST support I
have ever seen im all my 10 years...

koolguru 7/9/2001 11:50 AM still waiting for your response

(humm the last thing I think I would say to a customer,
yea lets be rude to the customer that is going to help..)

koolguru 7/9/2001 11:53 AM anonymous ftp i dont think is meant for
uploading

(I always use anonymous ftp .. so my friends can send me
big files that way instead of thru email... So what is
anonymous ftp for if not that?)

koolguru 7/9/2001 11:57 AM how can anything be there if you are logging
in to it for the first time.

Ping 7/9/2001 11:58 AM i thought a new ftp account was so others
could work on my site and i do not have to
give them my name/password? what is the FTP
accounts for?

(I created another FTP account so someone else could
work on the site, but not have to have my FTP login.....
well I create it but when he logs in there is nothing there..
weird?)

koolguru 7/9/2001 12:10 PM then I dont think I can help you with it if
you cant even login to your control panel.

(I was trying to login to my FTP account (had no problem when we started talking) but than al of a sudden I could not to save stuff. before they reset the account..
But why would you tell you customer there is nothing you can do.. rude?)

koolguru 7/9/2001 12:14 PM now this anoying. I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT
OF YOUR PROBLEMS & YOU ARE SAYING THAT I
CHANGED YOUR PASSWORD. ALL I CAN DO FOR YOU
NOW IS DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT & CREATE IT AGING.
IF YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT I WILL DO THAT
IMMIDIATELY.
(yea that's nice ;)... all I wanted was to login to my FTP to save stuff)

koolguru 7/9/2001 12:16 PM i did not chage your password as i have
already said.

Ping 7/9/2001 12:16 PM ok well (someone did) because i can't login it
rejects my password

koolguru 7/9/2001 12:17 PM what wil i get by changing your password & not
letting you backup your files ?

Ping 7/9/2001 12:18 PM aww come on now!.. don't play games.. just let
me back into my account

koolguru 7/9/2001 12:21 PM i have nothing more to say ?
all that i can do is create your account again
& nothing else.

(why not just fix my password and let me login and save stuff?.. instead of arguing with me? humm..)

koolguru 7/9/2001 12:46 PM Now That I Have Issued You Refund Tell Me One
Thing.

What will I Get By Changing Your Accounts
Password & Not Letting You Save Your
Information ?

(lol.. why not just fix my ftp login so I could save it?)

Bah...
That's the skinny
(I will look into the laws on release of customer information/slander - This should be grounds for banning from WHT!) :angry:

Yes, it's not legal to give out any name of customers. But it's also illegal to spread information about a business that are one owns problem.

Simlar problems with passwords and so on I encountered even with "brand" hosts.

Once again: Till now I had no problems with HOSTurbo. And Hostsearch.com for example rates it 9.5.

Personal wars like in this board are not of any help for people who are interested in exchange of experiences about hosting companies.

Sorry Edi; I must disagree.

I think it is helpful in gaining insight as to one's character.
In that respect I find these types of threads very useful.
I have never used any of HOSTurbo's services personally. Nor have I ever spoken to koolguru himself (although I invited him to PM me).
But for someone that proposes to be of a professional nature to do what happened earlier around here is reprehensible at least :angry:

'nuf said

I have good experiences with HOSTurbo. You have no account with them... And now you will teach that all is true what you read about it except mine?

As I wrote: This kind of discussion does not help any further.

And I have to correct you: It's illegal in Europe to harm anybodys business.

I believe it was noted earlier that there has not been an issue with HOSTurbo service:rolleyes:

As for you needing to correct me. . . . . .Did I happen to say something that would harm someone's business or say that it was perfectly legal to do so??
I may be kinda slow today, but I don't see where I've done either of the things you mention. Maybe you can be more specific.

... in words, but it could be read so.

I apologize.

Honestly, I do not quite understand the system.
What if a certain company commits a fraud?
We are not allowed to discuss it, or take actions against it?

Shure. But I suppose there are a often only imputions (perhaps from competitors).

It's really strange: You can hardly read in this board some recommendation...

That makes me suspicious.

I also have an account with hosturbo and so do several of my friends. I don't know why you are saying that he has bad support because I wasn't sure about installing my ikonboard and he personally tried to help me. Not very many hosts would do this at all. My website has never been down since I've been with him. Matter of fact I feel like people on this board sometimes like to make something bigger then it really is. I highly recommend hosturbo many of my close net friends have signed up with the service and never been more happier.

It wasn't me. I wrote, that the support is fast and friendly.

I read a lot of rumors in this board. But it's not my experience. I'm also very happy with it!

Sorry, if I wasn't clear enough.

Nothing w/ being young and webdesigning.

AnIdiot, i would stand behind you :D but flames are bad for both sides.

Make peace :)

My post was not edited. There was nothing wrong with it. Only the quoted text. Because it disapeared i deleted my post as it has no base in this thread anymore :puke:

I read a lot of rumors in this board.

Rumors? I think my ICQ with the owner of HOSTurbo (koolguru)
Who is know known as Kunal HOSTurbo on ICQ...
Speaks for itself (not a rumor)..

And all of his site design/grafix stealing is not rumor!

:angry:


Well just had to say it :D

Kind Regards,

Hey helper,
Mr. Host Turbo and me aint the same people :eek:
Kunal

This might be off-topic but...

Edi: You're from Zürich? I'm from Luzern (Switzerland too) ;)

I was wondering about that :( ..
Good to heard your not! :D
(now we know)

just FYI ---

the hosturbo.com guy, aka koolguru, aka Kunal, aka kunalsood (his other username on WHT) was aka the hosthem.com/.net/.org guy.

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6768

http://www.hostsearch.com/showcomment.asp?companycode=2583

i don't know why kunal sood is still doing webhosting business. he might actually be trying to start a legitimate business. so please don't take this as an attack to try to shut him down. i am just letting whoever is hosting with him know about his past scam(s). after kunalsood confessed about the hosthem scam, he "generously" refunded all the money to his customers (take a look at www.hosthem.com). but who knows if he will do the same this time around, as he inquired on WHT back in April about a billing company that provides "partial refunds", http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8179 (towards the bottom)

whois info for hosthem.net:
http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois?STRING=hosthem.net

whois info for hosturbo.com:
http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois?STRING=hosturbo.com

in the case that kunal of hosturbo.com and kunal of hosthem.net are two completely different men who just by pure coincidence happen to have the same street address, then my apologies. again, i'm just putting forth hard facts, not making any accusations. Please take my implication that kunalsood and koolguru are the same men as you may, as i may be completely wrong about it. (but i still think they are the same guy.)

I think Mr Kunal/KoolGuru should try to stay away from here
and not have his friends/or customers try to defend him here
all that ever happens is more horror storys come out about him...

:D
I went to :http://www.hostsearch.com/showcomment.asp?companycode=2583 to see HosThem...

I notice most rating were like a 1-3 but the one he made himself
is a 10.. and so funny!

I have had pages on the Internet for many years now and I have had many hosts trough out the years. Usually when I find a host either the server is fast and the support is terrible or the support is great and the server is slow. This company has both of those issues covered very well, their server is lightning fast and the customer service is excellent. And I have never seen such a rock solid user friendly system, if you are new to this game this is the place for you. The system is very easy to use and still completes very powerful tasks. The speed of the server and the customer support that is provided makes this company a delight to deal with and I highly recommend them to all. If you are looking for the perfect server with the perfect package stop looking you have found it, sign-up now and slip into this dream server.

Notice were he says "Rock Solid" ... LOL!
Were have I seen that before http://www.hosturbo.com/ ...
:eek:

I would really like to know what he means by "Rock Solid"..
I guess that doesn't really mean good.. does it? (hehe)

Just had to add my 2 cent :cool

It's kind of sad to see how he rates himself and even uses his own name and words. It seems to me that he's not older than 14 years old.

not only did "Kunal" (not to be confused with "Kunal" the board moderator!) post a recommendation for his own company, but he completely stole it. I mean, just look at the similarities:

Dave young (webmaster@jrc-systems.com)
Must be who mr guru resell's for or something
(never took time to look into it)

But I guess he is who he got the slogan for his site from
as hosthem's name servers are NS.JRC-HOSTING.COM.....

So it may be fine that he uses that slogan (even thou I find it
misleading)
:o

But to copy Dave word for word *sigh*....
(unless ofcourse he (koolguru/kunal/kunal hosturbo/whoknows
what ealse) is also Dave Young....... (hehehe):mad:

I knew there was more to it. Heh, everyone was telling me i was judging a innocent man, thanks for clearing this up everyone. The moderators still don't seem to care :D

Hello, what do you expect us to do about it, we ain't the host cops? I barely remember that last incident. Discuss it, make a decision whether or not to use his services or not and stay informed. We won't prevent anyoe from coming here and making a donkey out of themselves.

I'm not sure what you'd like us to do. Please contact us off board.

I think Chicken's right. . . . . . . . . At least I would never argue with a chicken; even if I thought he was wrong:rolleyes:

But, I have to agree with the mods. Let him post. It would be to his advantage to ban him. How would we get all these informative threads??:eek:
When someone comes here looking for information, at least they can find some ;)

Ok, i hate to argue, your right chicken :D

Edi, you are right that you will find fewer recommendations in this board (or I must say in every other places). It’s a human nature. One will hardly share, with others (specially in public), his/her good experience. And will mostly try his/her best to tell, as many people he/she can, if something wrong happen with him/her.

I have to agree that WHT is not very much comfortable with recommendations. Most of the time user is accused for having some association with the hosting company (which is found true many times), which may discourage real user to praise his/her web hosting company, no matter how good it is. Overall it saves lots of fake recommendation, which is good.

I believe "no recommendation is better then 2 real recommendations and 100 fake ones." Hope its clear enough :)
