What do you mean hard work?AbuKing said:BTW Mr. Michael What About Our Hard Work?
RivaCom said:I think alot of people are looking past it all. When you sign up for a host, you should know about the uptime policy, TOS, where thier server is located, what the server is, if they oversell, etc etc. Everyone seems to be blaming them for something that happended out of thier hands, to my knowledge it was the DC who pulled the plug and spoiled all your hard work, I'm a paying customer for Lyten as well and I don't hold anything againest Michael or anyone else. Lyten had no warning of this event.
As for your hard work, I think everyone should take responsibility for thier own stuff, so you didn't make a backup? Thats no ones fault but your own. If you make 200 dollars a day or week, or even month, you should know enough to buy a backup service or system. I am a happy customer, it's sad that there was a long downtime, but if anyone even looked at Michael's sig, theres all the ways to contact him there. Not to mention him giving his personal contacts for you. So really I would like to see less people complaining and more people being happy that Michael offered fast support, as well as showing his concern for the problem. I have seen many more hosts just take off, not care, or even take thier time for less problems than michael has went though. Lyten is a great host and im glad to be hosted by them.

I had just started (two days before downtime) to make that much amount of money, I had mentioned in my first post that these days were my best ever and it all just happened at the wrong time, Did you find any offensive post regarding LYTENHOST even when I was going to make huge amount of money and recognition. I have had downtime with StaticHost also (thats when LytenHost PMed me and I switched to them) but not such poor support and loss of data (StaticHost still have my old data), Now some of you may get prompt response from LytenHost but I am not (It may be attributed to TimeZone difference in my opinion) but still then 24 Hrs. is a lot more to blame for TimeZone Diff.If you make 200 dollars a day or week, or even month, you should know enough to buy a backup service or system
Don't you have most of the static content on your computer anyway? The only other things you would need to back up would be databases which would typically be less than 5MB for most sites.I am on a dialup I can't take huge backups daily,
We are known as a very stable host and we will remain that for all of our time.

I am talking about Email support and AIM support. :shame:When signing up, Yahoo isn't listed as a support method, so there really shouldn't be any big fuss over him not responding to something he doesn't use as much or at all. Just another thing you need to take into consideration.
Can't help it buddy that's the ONLY available option in my town, and it cost a ton. :tired2:Now I hate to be harsh, but if your running a business and use a 56k, you might want to rethink your investment. Alternative would be to purchase a backup or service to do it for you. That way your not sitting on dialup downloading files.
Then, again I told you its not the downtime that pissed me, Statichost had sevral hours of downtime yesterday only, but HE WAS THERE TO INFORM ME WITH UPDATES REGURARLY :classic2: , When the downtime was for over one hour he said that he is sorry and will make one month hosting free for just an hour of downtime, and compare this to LYTENHOST, He says Happy Coding , Also, leave aside the refund for downtime he is now asking for MOREMONEY, i had already filed a refund via Paypal and still no reply from him. My second host pivotalwebhosting is down from around 4-5 days (my bad times) I had not to utter a word and my $1 was refunded, now the thing here is not the money but the gesture and how do you value your customers. LYTENHOST can never provide the one-to-one feeling and sense of security that StaticHost has provided, My last word be DON'T GO FOR LYTENHOST, LET's SEE WHAT LYTENHOST REPLY AND I WILL TRY TO GET RESPONSES OF ALL THE HOSTS ( I THINK 51 DOMAINS)Again your complaining they aren't stable, but it wasn't something they did wrong. As i stated the DC took it off, made a mistake, loss the data, and lyten decided to move because of it. Nothing he could of done would of made the wait any faster, he did as much as he could to get an even better service for his customers.
