And all these webair whores STFU, I would like to see your reaction if this happend to you. This is fucked up enough to go to court IMHO.

What bullshit.
You do know that there is a limited number of IP addresses available in the current IPv4 right? You also know that hosts have to have good reasons for requesting more IP's right?
As far as SE's blocking based on IP address do you have any proof that can back this up?? As far as I know, the only real concern is being RBL'd for spam by IP address. SE's don't blacklist by IP based on the fact that Virtual Hosts exist. They'd block half the fucking world.
A lot of times, hosts will assign a hand full of IP's to a server. You get whatever is on the server. I can understand a DEDICATED customer getting a new IP address, but not a virtual hosting customer.
We don't know what kind of setup this guy had with Webaire. However, I'm willing to bet, webaire did everything correctly on their side. They're too big a host not to have. They know the consequences. Besides, even if Webaire removes the DNS information... IE Cashes it. Unless you do a reload and clear your cache, IE will send you to the last known location. Plus as several people have said, it can take up to 72 hours for DNS to propagate. That's a week.
You want to leave a host? Make sure your new host is up and ready to go. Other wise you do so at your own risk. When you cancel an account, you can specify when you want it done. That way you can make sure you have a backup site.
In this case, I would say the original poster is at fault and shouldn't be complaining to anyone. Not to mention the fact that this didn't belong on the board in the first place but in a work ticket, email or phone call to Webaire. He handled this whole thing piss poor..... Its ignorant webmasters who cause problems for the rest of us.
