This is a hostgator review posted by vbtweb on 02 June 2004

I signed up, was going to use my credit card.. Then I see… paypal. I’m like, hell.. Then I dont have to type in my CC #, why not. Didn’t realize that it complicates things. Sad part is, it WAS a credit card transaction, as I dont trust paypal enough to leave money there.

I dont have a customer experience with you guys yet, but I have an experience with a competitor, I unforunetly ran into before you guys.

resell hosting site .com

It was by far the worst excuse of a company I ever saw.

They demand you pay using their merchant called ipaysys
So you do. Then they send you an email saying, mail us a copy of your drivers license, your credit card bill, and print this reciept and sign it.
Or scan all these in and email it or fax to us etc

So against my better judgement.. I did it..

One week later no reply, yet no charge on my card.

So I ask them whats the hold up. They say, your site will be up in 24 hours.

3 days later I go back, and ask them again. They say 2 more days and it should be up.

So I tell them to cancel it. They say, im sorry we can’t do that. You have to contact ipaysys to cancel it. So I go to there website. NO number, just an email address they do not reply to.

So I do a whois on them at several different registriys. nothing. Timed out, or Error on lookup. Its a major scam, and I would call it criminal if they had actually charged. So after ALL that, I go back to the resell company and I say.. ok. Is there another way you can take payment. What if i pay a year in advance!! they say nope. Ipaysys will get to you when they have time. I ask for a number, they say there is none.

So I did call my card and tell them not to allow any charge from them, and if they do charge ill dispute the hell out of it lol.

So back to google I find this site.

I HOPE these guys like having customers more than the retards I just came from

I outgrew my host and got to move lol.

From everything I read here and on other forums, I’m pretty happy with my decision so far.

So hello and I hope I can bring something to this group, these forums, and the inherit community that usually evolves within.
