Modern Type of Web Hosting Scam – What to Do?

“Old school” scam hosting is rudimentary – to take the money and leave the market. This type of scam is not afraid, because people understand that you rely on your company website or blog hosting service, which is 6 months of age is very dangerous. Modern scam hosting is much more powerful and dangerous. Technically, it goes like this – hoster to invest money in a number of servers, to gather some customers. Then do not invest enough money to buy / rent more servers, reached the limit of their capacity, but they need to collect more and more customers.


What saves them is a special solution that for a while switches off your sites and blogs to save them bandwidth and server processor load. If you noticed that your sites are down for days, you start hammering at the support with tickets and they raise the sites, for a while.

They try not to do it that ruthlessly during the first 90 days after the purchase, because you can a charge-back from the bank. But after the 90 days’ term is over, they don’t care and the show starts.

If you have some nice portion of sites and blogs it is very difficult to track of all them, and the hosters know that. Surely sooner or later you will get absolutely frustrated with the service and say bye-bye to the hosting. But during all that time they stay on the market and keep gathering new clients with new money on the same server capacities.

This is how the web hosting scammers work today. Only knowledge can help you out from this trouble.
