How much time do you have?

I can list my bad experiences with Truehosting but all of them might overload this server. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and log into my site:
www.periscopeonline.net

Chances are, right now you'll see a defamatory web page put up by Truehosting (yes, they defaced my site and changed my login and password. No, I'm not the first one they did this to.)

If my new webhost (fastwebserver -- thumbs UP) has straightened it out, click my smilin' Irish mug, and click on the article entitled WELCOME TO HELL.

I won't post my (and my partner's) entire tale of woe, as it encroaches on the realm of the absurd when dealing with True Hosting. Those who are interested in the sordid details can read all about our problems, and those of many others at http://www.technogirl.net/weaselboy.htm (and please be aware that all of the email exchanges at my site can be fully substantiated, as can the snail mail "I'm gonna sue you" letters).

Thumbs down

UN True Host the first page of his site is how good customer service is. Then read his terms of service it his license to steal.

Joey, I strongly recommend you take a screen-capture of that page, then send it to Alabanze, for whom TrueHosting is a reseller, and threaten them with legal action for hosting a fradulent compnay that ius engaging in libel. Weaselboy may be out of your reach because he's in England, but Alabanza is not.

If you are interested in TrueHosing do a search on deja or remarq. You also might want to have a look at:

For those that still feel like Davey is telling the truth, please visit google.com
http://www.google.com/search?q=True+Hosting

These are all pages people put up about their experiences with him. Scary.

Unhappy

I'll tell yah, I think I am a scam magnet! I fell for True Hosting's sales pitch hook, line and sinker. It wasn't even two weeks before my site was unavailable. They STILL continue to send be bills, even though I sent them their precious cancellation fax to the UK months ago <sigh>. To read the entire email exchange, take a gander here: http://www.channelingboards.com/Truelosers.html
There is also a list of links at the bottom to check out all the anti-True Hosting sites that I have found thus far.

Question

And it's amazing... since "Annette Howard is making this all up", how is she getting all these IP's? I am looking at the bottom, and there are posts from IPs all over the place.

Davey, I think you are lying to us (see "Web Hosting is a Joke" thread).

Well, you see, I have nothing better to do with my time. How do I know this? Because "Davey" says so, in just about every email he writes to people (and they very kindly forward it to me):

"No, an individual called Annette Howard is under investigation for fraud and is facing a long jail sentence, she is behind the fraud
you have read."

"The particular person specialises in fraud, and has committed many other fraudulent acts against other companies. They are basically
unemployed and try to get by stealing from others."

So apparently the expense I'm racking up posting through all these various servers is due to the largesse of all kinds of companies.

I sent a note to "Davey" asking him, once again, to come up with the evidence to back these ridiculous assertions. I've heard nothing back (naturally), only received my own message forwarded back to me. I doubt anyone else will get any questions answered, either (since I see that Cathy asked something in the WHIAJ thread).

But Gary, if he threatens to sue you because you said you think he's lying, be sure to let us know. I'll put it up with the rest of the threats (http://www.technogirl.net/99tales/suing_lies.htm), and I suppose we'll just all wait patiently together.

Do not sign up with Truehosting.com period !!!

My tale basically goes like this.
I signed up for the millennium at $99.95
around 1-10-00. Check was the only payment type available. They wouldn't set up my account till the check cleared. 5 weeks later i noticed the debit from my checking account. By this time i had already moved my domain to a real hosting company. I waited another week to see if my account would be set up but nothing happened. In the mean time they were billing me for an account that didn't exist. I responded by asking them what the bill was for. They said they hosted my domain. I said they didn't, they said they did. I asked what was my IP, they never responded!!! I asked for my money back. They don't give refunds. They still have my money. Don't do it. For a more detailed version of this story with more updates coming soon go to http://hammer.prohosting.com/~fredgx/host.htm
