[PowerHosting123]

I went into mr host uk live support in started chatting with the owner himself about how much would 3 GB equal to what in MB he tells me 3000 MB = 3 gb I told him nicely that he was wrong gave him a link to were he can verify it at first he said he was sorry so I started asking more question down the line then ask him was it true that he tryed to buy hosting-shack.com he told me yes. Then I ask was it as a joke he said no. Then he says that hosting-shack user are coming to him cause of bad services I told him i've an account with hosting-shack I haven't had any bad services with them then he tells me bye in closing out live chat in bans me by IP ? What do yall think about this

I would advised anyone wanting to get hosting from them make sure they don't hate your current hoster are you won't be able to get any question answer they'll just close out live chat on you by saying bye.

Can you provide a domain hosted by them for proof? 3000MB is pretty much the industry standard for 3GB. It's technically incorrect but even hard drives come like that.

Now what confuses me a little, is why you opened a live chat just to ask this question? Surely you could have came here or done a bit of googling to find the answer. I guess this is part of the whole Mr Host UK vs Hosting-Shack?

The domain I've with hosting-shack is http://wrighthosting.is-leet.com it's still under working I used dyndns.com domains as a domain for hosting-shack.com. I search google.com I had run into the page that was cached by google search then I decided to verify it with the owner to make sure it was true after telling him I was a customer of hosting-shack.com he close out live chat I want an answer of why he close out the live chat support when I just wanted to ask question before buying anything from him. I know most hosting provider do like to make stories about other hosting providers.

[Erizo]

Both of you were faulty there.

The owner for his reaction, and you because you went almost like "Hey, did you know X service is better than yours? You'll never be like X! I'm with X now, so you should, too!"

Or at least that's how your chat reads for me.

[hamster]

johnwright, may I ask why are you on the offensive against mrhostuk when this has nothing to do with you as a customer of hosting-shack?

This is between hosting-shack and mrhostuk, do leave it like that and refrain from joining in and causing unnecessary fray.

[Hydro_Host]

Sounds like someone is just trying to stir up trouble!

[JJW]

i guess i am on the otherside i have been a customer of his for the last few months and mattster has never ben anything but helpful! To me he seems to be great, plus from what i understand him and the owner of hosting-shack are friends again so why the bad words.

[Tiger-Matt]

Also me and hosting shack are now friends!

[Tiger-Matt]

I would advised anyone wanting to get hosting from them make sure they don't hate your current hoster are you won't be able to get any question answer they'll just close out live chat on you by saying bye.

That isnt cs, that is me getting very angry when live support is closing, your not bothering to buy anything and had no intention, you are spamming my inbox! Do you really think im going to want you as a customer

You had no intention to buy any hosting!

Thanks

Socheaphost for the nice comments!

[Jan]

John Wright huh? Are you sure you aren't hosting-shack owner? Sure looks like that from my end :S

[TravisL]

Could be a "staff" member. The domain is registered to a Robert Foster, but one can edit their DNS details to say just about anything.

[Jan]

Could be a "staff" member.
Posting from the host's IP? ;)

[hamster]

God this kind of stuff really makes me disgusted. Great find, Jan. Always the crazy investigative instinct of yours that saves the day.

Anyway, I'm 99% sure now that a lame excuse will come from the hosting-shack owner about the other account not being his.

It will have to be a damned good one before I ban his arse(es)

these type of people can never come up with a good excuse, and i doubt he will, as his last two were the same lame argument repeated.

[TravisL]

What a slime ball. Here's the interesting thing, he's screwed himself. Reputation = bye bye.

[webboy]

I wonder who was this man and why he did this all. what he wants to post here
I wan to invite him to clear his view

He had his chance, he created two advertising threads a few hours ago (tossed now).

Title edited :angel:

[theraptor]

that definately deserves a +Rep Jan. I rolfed at that.

[HS-Robert]

I asked this person mattster nicely to stop talking about my grandmom who had passed away. Instead he wanted to keep bringing her up on many forums that were created about him I told him this fight was between me and him he wouldn't listen. As for the other name it isn't mine if you're wanting to still think that name is mine go ahead.

[JJW]

did you guys verify that john wright and powerhosting were the same people?

[hamster]

Baseless arguments without any form of evidence will bring you no where Robert, you can't use reverse psychology in an attempt to make us feel guilty about banning your accounts because of the multiple accounts rule.

Also, does this grandma thing have ANYTHING to do with hosting company reputations at all? I certainly doubt so. You've got a personal problem, deal with it like a man instead of fighting fire with fire, all you're doing it making yourself as bad as he is by spamming him with vulgar emails.

Hope you read through this and attain some form of enlightenment.

[Tiger-Matt]

I have recived more emails guys

100 of them this time!


GOT OWNED B***H

it said this time!

[Tiger-Matt]

This is pretty much proof that, it proberly was Robert :(,
I thought we were friends again,
Up till yesterday, I was able to go onto their forums

I think you two should just clear off each other for now and stop any form of contact with each other so as to refrain from further misunderstanding or aggravation of the situation.

agreed, this is probably the best solution.

[Eric_HE]

Umm.Hi,Matthew,have you ever done anything intolerable to hosting shack?It is a little bit hard to calm down.
