Beware Web Hosts
Hi web hosts,
Just thought I should let you know:

The domain should be a bit of a giveaway should it not?

I wonder if this is the same guy who kept emailing us asking for a free trial "only for one day to test uptime and speed". Pricing is your first line of defence against such people.

It's really too bad because this is why the free trial has gone by the wayside. The thing is that anybody could get a free trial to try something out with 0 risk however but even these days with a money-back-guarantee people still feel they may not get their money back as an initial level of trust is still required.
Oh well - scammers, fraudsters, and the like can all be held responsible for that but there's nothing that can be done about it now.█ Michael Denney - MDDHosting.com - Proudly hosting more than 37,700 websites since 2007.

Which is where it gets interesting! The term "hack" now means so many things to so many people that it has become a matter of opinion as to what the official definition is.
My point was more that it seemed as though hostingdispatch would arbitrarily suspend an account with the word "hacking" in it and that seems a little unfair to me, personally.█ AdelaideHost - providing shared and VPS hosting.

More specify the sites content was regarding "Anti Virus Hacking".
I would not just delete someone just because of the domain.█ Hydro Host – Affordable UK Web Hosting - cPanel
