Webhost to avoid Implihosting

Hey dudes,

I need to drop a warning in here to keep you all informed of the pain I've been through this week.

On Monday, I was contacted by Implihosting to be told that my forum was suffering a DDOS attack.

It turns out that it was actually the server suffering a failure.

The result was Implihosting lost me 9 days worth of activity on my forum and also everything else I had hosted with them; everything php, jpg and html file. All lost...

And the killer is, this webhost doesn't do backups.

OH. MY. GOD.


Luckily I had a backup for my forum, but still lost an awful amount of stuff.

A week later the server is still not working, and I'm down £60.

I asked for a refund to be told "we don't do refunds, have a nice day".

Do yourselves a favour, avoid Implihosting. They are implishit.

Wow, that is ridiculous.

I hope you have spread the word else where.

Thanks for the tip... but, they SHOULD, under the law, do refunds!
