HostSave will not answer their e-mail, but they saw fit to charge my credit card then cancel my account. I want to know who HostSave is. They give a California address in their domain registar, but HostSave or Host Save (or any other variation) is not registered in California. These unscrupulous resellers that think they can remain anonymous need to be put out of business. It's gotten to the point where half the web hosts (resellers) just take your money and run. HostSave has a reputation for continuing to charge your credit card long after you thought you were through with them. (I found this out too late by going to www.webhostingratings.com) If this jerk has my credit card information, then I deserve to know who he is. Guys like this are going to ruin it for everybody.

Thanks, Jolly, I really appreciate that information. With a real business name, I can take some legal action.

I found your post when bitching about my email being down for 2 days, fixed 48+ hours later without explanation - then they got back to me 72 hours later and told me they changed my password, it then worked - well, it worked 24 hours before that, ...blah blah, you get the idea, talking to the wall.
