this hosting turned bad
Well, after a couple months of Chaud's hosting service, excell hosting, I have changed my mind.
This hosting service is TERRIBLE. At first it was great to have a close relationship with the owner, but after awhile, it turned from friendlyness to harrassment.
The main inconvenience was that I could only pay month by month, rather than year by year. So every month he would IM me saying to pay my bill. This got VERY annoying.
After not being able to handle it anymore, I decided to cancel my account. However, my PayPal account kept getting billed. I thought Chaud was just taking the last payment before cancelling the subscription. The subscription never got cancelled.
It took me 2 more payments to finally figure out how to cancel the subscription myself, since he was too stubborn and rude to cancel it himself when I asked him to.
Chaud started out as a good friend, but turned flat out rude once the money started rolling in.

Sorry to hear that I was probably a little hard on you earlier. We see shady stuff go past here each and every day. Sometimes multiple times in the same day. Best wishes in your search for new hosting.

Patron: I read the same way I listen, I ignore the parts I don't agree with. I'm suing you for false advertising.

My oh my.
"The main inconvenience was that I could only pay month by month, rather than year by year. So every month he would IM me saying to pay my bill. This got VERY annoying."
Hence the subscription.
"After not being able to handle it anymore, I decided to cancel my account. However, my PayPal account kept getting billed. I thought Chaud was just taking the last payment before cancelling the subscription."
Only you can stop subscriptions.
"It took me 2 more payments to finally figure out how to cancel the subscription myself, since he was too stubborn and rude to cancel it himself when I asked him to."
I cannot cancel it. Only the user who has subscribed can cancel it.Excell Hosting

Well, I learned something new today. :p
I still say, is it the hosts responsibility to cancel the subscription? He only contacted us after a few months of him not wanting it.Excell Hosting

I think this may be one of the best posts yet..
Starts out strong and intense right from the start, .. so many twists in between.. and what do you know.. ends up right were you thought it would...Or Did it???...TAIL BETWEEN LEGS??
Funny thing is that these two are probably gonna be back for a sequel.. or could they..no?.. a prequel??
