Mddhosting website rip in the making...
Looks like an MDDHosting rip or a pretty damn close website look-a-like is on it's way.
I have perfusely tried to contact Mike in regards to this via his methods of contact and all seem to fail, He does not seem to respond.
Anyways this is besides the point, I come across this website:
http://www.inverclydewebsitedesigner.com/kpr1.html
to
http://mddhosting.com/
Who wants to make some criticism that the site is a rip, Or, A custom rip?██ l Dedigeeks • Shared • Wordpress • Dedicated • Established 2006

Well they are similar to each other but I would not say that is the kind of the rip or something like that

1, Prices are the same (Coinsidental, Maybe).
2, At the bottom it has: www.inverclydewebsitedesigner.com (Not sure if he would take credit for the design?).
Seems to creepy to me, It may not be any type of official rip but sure seems like some inspiraiton.██ l Dedigeeks • Shared • Wordpress • Dedicated • Established 2006

I would say it is/was/started out as a rip.
They have the exact same pricing scheme listed as MDD at the moment. Which, to be honest is a little odd considering they aren't even, rounded numbers. They are quite exact, precise numbers, I would say more than a coincidence.

Haha, No! I have high expectations that this is not a sister company. It is more a classic take of steal and re-do in hopes to not get caught.

In hopes for what I wonder?
- People still other peoples sites, RIP, Then change content and pictures around to hope not to get get caught. This seems to be the case, The site seems to be a rip of MDD but is in the progression of a make over to cover their tracks of ripping mdd content to replace with their own.

I can say they are the lazy owners of the web site and can't create own web design. I can estimate that people which are getting on the inverclydewebsitedesigner do understand where they are and they might have no idea what MDD host is....
Short Quote from their site:

Yeah, it's definitely a rip. I designed it myself personally so I am 100% sure that our design is unique.
You've tried contacting me via Skype when I was sleeping - almost every night
I wonder if it was "sold" or got pulled down? If I find it up again I guess I'll send a DMCA but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Definitely not a sister company, we only operate one brand at the moment and wouldn't use the same design for another brand even if we did start another.
It looks like they did quite a bit of work to rip the design because they did a fairly decent job of it, it's really unfortunate - I'll have to keep my eyes open on CopyScape I suppose.█ Michael Denney - MDDHosting.com - Proudly hosting more than 37,700 websites since 2007.

The site is down for me as well, looks like they realized people were on to them and gave up.

Sean and I have done business with each other over the years and one thing that many providers learn is that it's beneficial to network with your competitors and to share information that is helpful as the providers you network with will generally do the same in your direction.
If you close yourself off to the possibilities of networking with your competitors you could very well be digging yourself quite the hole.█ Michael Denney - MDDHosting.com - Proudly hosting more than 37,700 websites since 2007.

Networking with other companies and individuals associated with "the competition" tends to be very beneficial to all involved. All parties involved of course have to be careful not to disclose confidential company information or any proprietary trade secrets.
It's like a friendship between two people - there are good friendships and bad friendships - and just because somebody is a friend doesn't mean that you tell them everything. This is just on a larger, more professional scale.█ Michael Denney - MDDHosting.com - Proudly hosting more than 37,700 websites since 2007.

I find it strange that you are this... worried about the design of a competitor.██ l Dedigeeks • Shared • Wordpress • Dedicated • Established 2006
