Web Hosting Reviews and Free Domains
Hosting websites is not rocket science but it seems like lots of web hosting companies just cannot get their services straight and we still have trouble with bad hosting companies and unscrupulous business owners.
I received a phone call about a week ago from a man who had a Zune domain he was prepared to build a site on. He got the domain from his web hosting company. He should have done some research on web hosting using one of the many web host review sites online because his hosting company cost him dearly.
The company offered free domains with hosting packages and this guy prepaid for two years on a great Zune domain (soon to be released as our new hacks site) but somehow never used it. He had the account and was told he needed to renew his domain. He paid the hosting company who I assume was supposed to pay the domain fees but they failed to do so and ended up going out of business before this guy could get his domain back.
I bought the domain on the domain aftermarket and he contacted me rather upset that he had lost his domain. I told him I was going to build the site and use the domain in conjunction with my plans to expand this site. He says he’s going to sue his web host for the money they charged his credit card but he is no longer looking for his domain.
If you find yourself in similar circumstances it may pay to find a better web hosting service using review sites like WebHostingGeeks.com
