Anybody have experience with HostYard?

About 2-3 months ago I was attracted to it by its price and some saying its 'a good place'.


For about a month I read the messageboard there and almost every message was something nasty or very very nasty.Everybody was complaining about their service or treatment recieved or whatever.

Some seemed satisfied and I asked about the 30 day satisfaction advertised.Told I could loose nothing I subscribed for a year.

During the first 30 days the messageboard stayed nasty nasty but the biggest topic was what happened to the owner/operator !!! he simply vanished. No post as to status of HostYard or anything nor has there been to this day.

What would any logical person do? When I hit day #29 I asked the 'billing service' for a refund.

Finally after a month+ the owner/operator shows up in a messageboard looking for a free isp in las vegas,nv.I thought it was kind of funny considering HostYard is suppossedly in South Africa.


ok--I lost no money so I have nothing to be mad about except some minor frustration with the whole experience.

Of very recent I returned to the messageboard there and asked a very nice---hows HostYard going now? If it NOW had satisfied customers I was ready to sign up for one or more accounts.I saw my post getting NO REPLIES and upon checking further discovered they were being censored/deleted by owner/operator.--- and in the most nasty language. I am told I have put fiction about him on websites somewhere and nothing else.I ask where.No reply. I am baffled myself because my user name there I seldom use.(I see its the same here)


I consider myself to be the most reasonable tolerant person and I don't think I ever get in nasty stuff with people. I asked a very human being question again at HostYard and it was deleted/modified and comments added using the most foul language by the owner/operator.


I notice now the whole messageboard system there has any negative comments by anybody deleted/censored.


Is it just me? Am I the only person that has experienced bazaar stuff with this place? (I can't fully elaborate here)

Again..I consider myself one of the internet's nice people (yes..bless me?) and it is beyond me what this places problem is.It acts like a case of mental illness.


Excuse my long post.It might be just ME but I assure you I did nothing to induce this person at HostYard to go hysterical with hatred.

:angry:

Why don't you use your "zz4" username on this forum???

And why repost your message as zz4 on freewebspace???

I'm a current customer of HostYard (4-5 months) and I have found them to be fine. Although the missing Dylan period on his board was a bit odd, I have always found him helpful and there when I needed him. The server (I'm on #3) has been reliable. I have other more critical sites with other hosts (I pay more for them too) but at $30-$40 per year, it is the bargain that I hoped for.

Hi folks,

Since english is not my native language, I was wondering if you can help me with an english term I am looking for.

How would you characterize someone who makes the rounds of various bulletin boards and anonymously slanders someone who has caused him no harm or loss?

I used to know this term but I forgot it. Had something to do with lifeforms in the lowest level of the evolutionary chain.

Yep, that sounds like trolling to me.

I've had dealings with Dylan in one way or another for at least a year now...and would rate him as on par with Tina from affordablehost as some of the friendliest competition in the Industry.
