Look at www.apollohosting.com and then look at www.hostbreak.com

Notice anything?

I don't think www.apollohosting.com would mind if www.hostbreak.com is their reseller.

Maybe it is copied with permission. :stickout

No I just spoke to Apollo Hosting about it and they had no idea about them. They thanked me for reporting that and I assume they will take action. The thing that bugs me is if you can't even design your own site then you don't belong in the industry.

You mean if you don't know how to design, you shouldn't do web hosting.

How many web hosting companies designed their website?

Web Design and Web hosting are two different ... :cool:

That's not what I meant. I mean if you can't have the site designed for you or whatever then don't get in this business.

Copying someones site is just NOT EXCEPTABLE

We have a reseller that copied our site. The thing is in our terms and conditions he missed a few links and ours are still there.

Sorry to ruin the thread, but they were board-spamming the forums and misleading members, so I had to put an end to that. Again, my apologies.

Who was board-spamming? What thread did you ruin?

I agree, but surely a webhosting company knows, well at least should know the amount of effort designers put into their site, and how frustrating it is when its copied...
I am sure employees of webhosting companies at least know enough html to get a temporary site up until they get a site designed for them, if they are lacking in design skills.

I would have thought most webhosting companies designed their own site, though...

since i can only see www.********.com i can not comment much on this thread.

but i guess taking idea of colours and naveigation from anyone's web site is not bad, but copying there images and text material is bad thing. just what i think. :cool:
