Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Design and Content : What a rip-off! need design? ask these how to copy!

[chillax]

URL: http://www.spacage.net

rings a bell?

doesnt? now try http://www.servage.net

someone here might like to contact the webmaster at spaceage and tell them some good things in official lingo.. i am not too good at that

but boy! thats an "awesome" rip-off!

PS: their prices are $2.50 more than servage and i can bet they just take orders from customers and buy account from servage, $2.5 on every account isnt too bad afterall

EDIT LATER:

just discovered some "cool" facts about spaceage...

> their order form is (very obviously) not secure and is on http.

> just press "continue" on their order form (even WITHOUT filling) and see your browser status bar... what do see?
contacting http://formmail.servage.net !!!

> apparenrently they have a system wherein a user fill form here... it gets copied to servage... make payment at spaceage.. and they pay to servage... keeping the p[rofits obviously!

big time stealing, leeching, copying, bla bla bla bla.....

Hi,

Its a surprise for me!! Friends am a spacage user for a very long time.. its been almost an year i guess. and after reading this i emailed their support center and i received a reply saying they are "reseller" for servage.

hmmm.. i never faced any issues from spacage hence i dont mind tht.

a new member joins and posts good things about spaceage straightaway.... fishy

and yea.. being a reseller

Yes it's possible that they are a reseller. I am an affiliate for such a company and didn't choose the reseller route as it frightens me upon they mentioning that they have 35,000 resellers but maybe it's not true but even 10% of it just shudders me using the same 16 templates resellers choose from.

I have even come across web hosting companies look alike that are resellers for the same company that sells them the reseller account.

This is what it say on their web site:

As a reseller with our FREE program you can have:

A ready-to-use reseller site (choose from 16 templates) with either predefined or custom-made hosting plans, or both.
A site designed by you that offers all of the hosting plans where you can use our custom Order, Domain Search and Login forms.
A site of your own with your own payment system, order forms and technical support that uses our Reseller API.

I won't mention names but it's the fact these days, so don't be supprised if you see look alike sites offering the same package of hosting services.

I just sent Servage a friendly e-mail letting them know their site was ripped, and gave them an URL .

when someone becomes a reseller, the hosting company gives them a template. resellers may not have programming skills, rather concept of resellers is to market a product. they are not bothered about programming/uniqueness.

servage is just a hosting company, n to what is seems spacage is a reseller. wht is wrong? also i hv checked their paypal verification, they seems to be authentic and when i tried to create an account it was in its 3 rd step tht i got Verisign secure page which i checked was authentic too.

Resellers are evil? People resell all the time, both goods and services. I don't see anything wrong with that.
