Hosts - one to avoid

This is for the benefit of people offering hosting. Please don't host this person, he's just taking advantage of us.

name: John Garry
email: kuboy002@yahoo.com.cn
normal username: cooler

I offered some accounts, and he applied saying it was to host the site http://cooler.2ya.com

I wouldn't normally host blogs but i liked the design of his site, and could see from the amount of comments in the news posts that it got a little traffic, so we gave him an account, he used the domain http://space.uni.cc as we were not offering subdoimains.

After a few days, he uploaded just one index page, a really crappy looking template, which i thought was odd considering his current site, then his account sat unused for a couple of weeks nothing uploaded and no traffic.

After visiting his site again, and seeing a post in the offers section here by the user "hotguy" i found out what he's up to
http://cooler.myidealhost.com/upload/index.php <---- he's basically "collecting" free hosting accounts and using those peoples servers to offer a file and even video upload service :angry2:

he never actually started uploading to the account we gave him, i guess he just uses 4/5 at a time and keeps some ready incase others get closed.

So please don't host him, if he's asking for an account it's not to host the site he says, it's just to use your server to allow people to upload files.

I think in my lunch break i'll even email the owners of the hosts he currently has accounts on, including zacknetwork, madsimms.net and others - i can be evil like that :classic2:

He has a Netmondo Subdomain :rolleyes: I'll notify them :devious2:
 
I got an application from this guy and he was accepted.

He never did anything with his account so it was removed before any abuse could take place.

Good call on notifiying everyone though Loon.

:D
