Hi
What does it look like happened to my host. It was all working well then if fell off the face of the earth. Webhosting-network.com I do not get the domain names to resolve. The home hosting site is gone with everything no answers to email or icq at all. Does this look like a server crashed or like he just quit hosting without telling any us?

I hope they havent just folded without letting their customers know...it could be anything, really...the server may have crashed and that is why no emails...Call them.

well, I didn't want to say they skipped town,, but it is about that time of month if they didn't pay their server lease... they are located at the Burst facility I believe.
How long has it been down ??

It has been down for two and a half days. I really have one mad resold account. The host will not answer icq or email. The owner is from Japan but he had a lot of accounts. I know two years ago he had over 500 but I am not sure now. This is really bad I would love to know for sure what happened. I do not know if I can get my files or any thing. He was a really good host at one time with instant support and was a really nice guy. If he cannot afford the bill on my server why will he not just say so? Who knows I may help out for the short-term lol?

Well I found out what this great host did. Ran!!! He can not keep his story straight watch it change. Took all my sites files, resold and all and ran. I can not get him to answer me by e-mail or
icq but this is what I got from a friend that I sent to his icq asking about hosting.
We bated him it's very interesting I think. Start at the bottom and read if I was not so mad it would be funny.
BEWARE OF GORDON YEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
