I found that they have a slow link, or probably limiting the data-transfer so I moved as they may ofer 50gb, which is crap if you have no chance of using it if the transfer rate is slow.

Stay clear there are better out there

Slow link, our servers are located in Telehouse London, you cannot get much faster.

Also after searching our database I can find no cancelled reseller account owned by someone with the name Steve. I think it is unlikely that you really had a reseller account with us.

You can get much better than telehouse. Telehouse is so slow.....

Indeed it is, but we are certainly not on a 64K link. If indeed you are a previous customer (I know you are not) you wont mind posting your Donhost username.

Intresting reading the posts defending yourself
Interesting on your site as well

http://www.donhost.co.uk/company/contact.html

Unit 11, Saundby Estate
Bessacarr
Doncaster
South Yorkshire
DN4 7DE
United Kingdom

Which is strange as the above post code is as follows:

DANIEL CONLON
11 SAUNDBY CLOSE
DONCASTER SOUTH YORKSHIRE
DN4 7DE
013 0253 9601

So I presume Unit 11 Saundby Estate is made up, great way to make your self look bigger

Internic shows Donhost.co.uk is Daniel Conlon T/A donhost,
Let me guess your now limited.

But it looks like you run this from home, greater picture of an industrial estate on the site.

Mark

Yes Donhost is now a Limited company, there is nothing wrong with that.

The picture on our site is indeed of our offices. We do not publish our office address since we may wish to move thus this avoids the hassel of a change of postal address. Also it adds to the security - if nobody knows where are office space it, they will not know of the thousands of pounds of equipments which resides here.

I really do wish that you would get your information correct before you go jumping to conclusions.

You could say that although we will be moving to new premises in June of this year which will solve the issue.

MarkD
02-24-2001, 01:15 PM
I think you will find that there is no jumping to conclusions as the post code you give for your so called company address is CRAP. As this doesn't exist

Unit 11, Saundby Estate
Bessacarr
Doncaster
South Yorkshire
DN4 7DE
United Kingdom

As the post code relates to the following address:
With the following people living there:
11 SAUNDBY CLOSE
DONCASTER SOUTH YORKSHIRE
DN4 7DE
013 0253 9601

EVELYN J CONLON
JOHN P CONLON
DANIEL J CONLON

So as I said before Unit 11 saundby estate is crap.

So maybe you should get your facts right.

Once again misinformation, this could not be further from the truth. Danweb was a highly sucessful company which is why is was bought out.

MarkD
02-24-2001, 02:07 PM
Ok just try this for

http://www.cgi.resourceindex.com/users/danweb.html

So you didn't leave customers high and dry CRAP

My apologies....you're 18....

MarkD
02-24-2001, 02:21 PM
Who said you can deny it you left customers up sh!t creek, with danweb.

And as regards been 17 even the link above confirms this or shall I just post the directors search from companies house to prove it.

So where is Unit 11 or don't you want to answer that one

MarkD
02-24-2001, 02:22 PM
Technics a lot of people got screwed by danweb

You recieved the service that you paid for. The company was sold and the buying company took over the customer base. They supplied the service which you paid Danweb for at no additonal cost to you. So if receiving the service that you pay for is being 'screwed over' then every reputable web host screws you over!

MarkD
02-24-2001, 02:27 PM
So where is Unit 11 still avoiding that one, you talk such sh!te.

So who did you sell danweb to ?

Our postal address is on our site. We do not publish our office address for reasons previously explained and I am certainly not going to publish it on a public forum. You can however call in and see us and our office if you wish. Just give us a call and let up know you are coming and we will be happy to give you directions.

Why do you not publish your URL, email address, company name or contact details? Oh yes, because it is you who is as you so elequently put it 'talking ****e'.

No you won't publish it so why use unit 11 which doesn't exist, I have never heard such crap, as according to companies the registered office is a 11-13 Thorne Road Donacaster and you live at 11 Saundby Close,

So unit 11 on the industrial estate what utter Bull Sh!t

donhost
02-24-2001, 02:44 PM
Well I have explained the situation to you. You just don't seem to be reading my replies. Or are some of the words in them too long for you.

-Edward-
02-24-2001, 02:46 PM
What other forums?.... This topic is rather amusing.

MarkD
02-24-2001, 02:46 PM
So why don't you answer the question that I have asked numerous times where is Unit 11?

And the reason you won't answer this is because it doesn't exist and the post code is your House.

So maybe your the one that can't read and answer the posts

To the contrary, I have answered your question, try moving that scroll bar on the right of your screen up a little.

My god a satisfied customer and who posted that one your dad,

Postal address crap as it doesn't exist as per post above

United Kingdom

Which is strange as the above post code is as follows:

Give up....

MarkD
02-24-2001, 03:27 PM
Well I think he must be good lets all get a reseller account of him now he's gone silent

No answer to any of the above from DONHOST

And let me guess who is SNOWMAN the one that started the thread DONHOST Any good was that donhost as well.

What a joke.

Thats a classic

http://2ninety.ltd.uk/
http://2ninety.co.uk/
http://donhost.co.uk/

All using same IP Address for nameservers but even better is he says that 2ninety is a reseller of his yet they are offering the same account for 1/2 the price, what a load of bullsh!t

Is this what you all are looking for? I would assume you all have had service with them before. Most of these issues really should be up to the person wanting to use their services. As Charles has pointed out the forums are becoming more of a flame session. I really don't see the point in the continued attack. I don't list my address of my physical location and that is up to the owner to decide.

MarkD
02-24-2001, 05:01 PM
This didn't start as an attack he just talks so much crap it is unbelievable,

1) an address that doesn't even exists
2) A staisfied customer what crap,
" the contrary, I have answered your question, try moving that scroll bar on the right of your screen up a little.

Also, try http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=6269, a satisfied customer?"
3) starting a post in the first place are donhost any good
4) This customer sells the same hosting option cheaper.

If you are going to lie make it convincing otherwise you should keep your mouth shut

02-24-2001, 05:18 PM
The guy does have a point. This 18 year old is trying to give the impression that he is something he is not. Using a fake address is well dodgy. Would you send this shower your money?

-Edward-
02-24-2001, 05:21 PM
Nope im quite happy with http://www.kdawebservices.com.

Don't need no more hosts.

But repeating the same posts over and over is not getting anywhere. Donhost is not going to bite so whats the point? You have your point accross about his address.

2ninety
02-24-2001, 07:25 PM
2ninety and Donhost the same?
MMMMM.... Have you done a search on 2ninety at companies house yet? Have you noticed that they're at completely different sides of the country or did you forget to post that in your perthetic hate mail?
I bet you did do a look up on our company, saw that we were nothing to do with Donhost and carried on egging people on.
Do you own a successfull hosting company? I doubt it!
I you could even manage to start one, I feel sorry for the clients who have you at the end of their support emails!

MarkD
02-24-2001, 07:29 PM
I thought donhost talked sh!te but your just as bad

You are a reseller of donhost he Daniel Said that, yet your are offering the same reseller package for 1/2 the price,

You had better report us as you don't like the truth

Im personally a donhost reseller (flump.net being my site) i have found the service to be very good and reliable and the service is second to none (touches wood) well up to now. Me being a webdesigner i needed something like this place, i dont host that many domains, only 10 tops but its really good up to now and the speed is alright too. at work i get about 73ks on blueyounder cable modem which their threshold being about 75-80k is pretty good.
So stop all this tom foolery.
Im hardly a new member dissing the poor bloke, i have been here for ages. You also missed a point with 2ninety that you actually only get 500meg per acct.(transfer) so its not the same at all.

Thats all i got to say.

Dan, dont listen to these kids, im only 18 and a webdesigner i know the sh!t u can sometimes get off people, just let it be. You have a good company. Yes i am a customer (flump being the username)
I would and DO recommend you.

Cheers
