Its great up in scotland (H)
Sad thing about it is scotlands full of children buying resellers & charging £2 for life hosting ect ruins the hosting name

Hmmm - Just a quote:
"Excuses are like a**holes, everyone has one, and they all stink. If you tell to many of them, people just get pooped out."
Look - if you spent your vacation fixing your server for 20 hours - then why is it still not online a week later? I guess that really falls back on your 99.9% uptime guarantee.
Your going to tell me not to try and grab a new client, heh - It's the sea man, learn to swim with the sharks. It's not my fault you screwed up, if anything all I can do is take advantage of it. I wasn't looking to make money - I was simply looking to provide him with a reliable solution, because it appears that you can't.
Now on the note of making something a bit more reliable - Host your main site on a different server, or simply host a last resort support system on one. Example www.jewlzksupport.com.
You stated that you have been around for a while, have you ever considered maybe getting yourself a backup server? It's funny how you have this list of backups for clients and then mysteriously one client isn't. I wouldn't be surprised if you are saying that to all your clients right now.
btw Mods - sorry that my quote was a bit rude.
Cheers,
Tyler

Repoman, all I'm asking for is my money back for this month, which I think is fair. I'm not going to tear a strip off you, things happen but this isn't the first time your servers have been down - other times I've emailed you about it (when your site was still up) and not received an answer, the last time you did reply a considerable time after. I have decided to change hosts and would just like a refund for April. Thank you.
Reasonable request msrosie - maybe he should add a 'goodwill' gesture for your trouble (poke-prod@repo)
Agrees - We should all have to be compensated for having to read his excuses and stories.

That is unfortunate that you are suffering msrosie. I truly hope repoman will give you a full refund.
I must say I have had a bad experience with repoman in the past. I hope this will get resolved soon. I agree with Decker a refund would be a good, goodwill gesture. So repoman if you are reading try to be fair.
Thanks,
Matt

Hmmm Now another speaks out. Don't think many people are going to want to deal with you even if you come back online.
Hmmm your englishes passes my boklets.
You think after being down multiple times and having nothing but problems that someone is going to want to give them another chance? I think not.
They had there chance when they got the money for the hosting to prove that they were worth it. They screwed that up and now people want there money back.
Repoman , In addition to msrosie's post If you have indeed been down for 3 weeks that takes us back to the beginning of april maybe even earlier MEANING your client hasn't used the resources atall on the server.
If you were a good Host you would refund your client's Payment or atleast offer a compensasion package Does anyone agree with me as i think this is right ? (at least i do it when the servers down for a prolongued amount of time NOT THAT ITS HAPPENED THAT LONG)
After me posting i read those 2 posts & i am glad someone agrees with me.

That's a good point right there. Not too long ago, a certain host went down and I gave that host some space to put up their site to keep their clients up to date.

a few things need to be said.
Firstly, half of what is being said is not even true and the person doesn't know what they are talking about at all. For example saying we've been down for 3 weeks? Oh..and yes. We do have a backup server. People talking about me not doing enough .etc.
What were those 20 hours spent on? E-mailing clients, explaining, talking tothe dc to explain they sent me the wrong root password. Now anyone that doesn't want to believe my stories. honestly I don't give a fc*k. Okay? Also whoever i told not to take clients in this thread. Dude, there is a paid hosting requests section ... okay? That's where you give offer's to potential clients! Secondly, this thread is about my company being 'gone' not the lets bash Siko and try and get this client. Hope i sign HER(not him as someone said) so we can get an extra $5/month! Plz, if you wish to sign clients go to the right threads. If you wish to discus us closing 'down' plz post whatever. Not bashing us.

Yeah, i bet your saying that so you look like the 'smart----' so then msrosie might consider you. No. Go to Paid Hosting Requests. She has a thread there.
Also. I don't care a Is*t what you think about my 'excuses' i know what happened. I have told on this forum. What do you want me to do? Lie just so you think the excuses are good enough? Aslong as I know the truth which is posted I can live knowing i've done the right thing
repoman

Okay. Like?
Secondly, I had another host to help.
I told my clients to contact them
msrosie never contacted me so I could not tell her.

Yeah. After talking about how you live close to me and that it's a bus trip away and asking exactly where i live as soon as you added me on msn...what do you expect?
I hope customers have seen the real side of repoman

Strange how this is the only "lost" contact details eh ?
Also if you are looking to salvage your rep , think again what do you think if you were a customer looking to find a host ? I dont think it will be lets choose this host as the staff are friendly & supportive
Try growing up mate & try filling in your customers , also try hosting clients for a few years more like most in this thread and you will realise how important Customers are and not to treat them like dirt on the bottom of your trainers/shoes.
Rant over (sorry if offending folk)

Your rant says it all - what a twat for all those posts - one main point to remember HDGH (Hosts Don't Get Holidays)
I vote msrosie gets 2 months (even if it was only a month outstanding) back as a refund.
And I'll chip in 1 full year of hosting (as long as msrosie don't take the proverbial) for free.
