    Cavecreek hosting, I wonder if this is legal ???

    Friend of mine received a payment reminder from cavecreek hosting containing the following line, wonder if this is legal ??

    "If you are a CCBill customer, your CCBill account will also be placed on hold until your Cavecreek Web Hosting account is paid in full. CCBill funds will not be released until full payment is received for your Cavecreek Web Hosting account. CCBill funds cannot be used to pay the balance on your Cavecreek Web Hosting account."

      Sounds fair and they are the same company so you dont pay then you dont play. They can sure has hell withold payment from the CCBill side and if either side took it to court the money would get tied up even longer.

      So what could be illegal about them asking to be paid what they are owed?

      I think they should keep all your money forever so you will crawl in a corner and die of depression of that $5 you lost!!

          definitely legal... if you read their fine print, you may even find it in the contract you signed.

                    I usually change contracts on the spot before I sign them. Surprisingly the people who hand me the contract are the ones who rarely check them when they should.
                    I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                    Webair, bitches.

                      What's the general consensus of using Cavecreek as a hosting provider? Has anyone ever dealt with them personally? Please spam me with some feedback.

                      Thanks!

                        That seems fair enough to me, although i don't get why the bill can't be paid with the CCBill funds.

                              We were going to use cavecreek for some of our hosting, but seeing as we use ccbill as biller, decided best not to place all eggs in same basket. Nothing against CCBILL or Cavecreek
                              CCBILL r great and the package offerd by Cavecreek was good.
                              But still in todays climate thought it best to keep it seperate.

                              We still in the market though for top managed dedicated hosting ?
                              Any takers --

                                imagine ccbill going bankrupt, and they still owe you like $10k


                                your hosting bill with cavecreek is something like $2k with this policy you would be required to pay that $2k while maybe never getting this $10k from them ! and thats just wrong !!!!!!!!!!





                                that policy is BULLSHIT !!!

                                    not sure that is legal at all, it would depend on the contract you signed with them and I probably how CCBILL and Cavecreek are set up corporately. If they're seperate corporate entities I don't think they can legally withhold money owed to you from one company they own because of a debt you have to another company they own.

                                    interesting though, i'm curious to hear from a lawyer what the law it on that situation.

                                    odd that none of the adult industry lawyers have a board whore to answer questions and drum up business for them.
                                    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                      Hang on a minute.

                                      If your friend PAID his bills you wouldn't have anything to talk about.

                                      Just a thought.

                                                why would anyone fucking host with them anyway?

                                                i pay $299 a month and had free setup

                                                  Anyone with 1/2 a brain and good business sense reads the contracts they sign.

                                                                Sounds like some sound advice.

                                                                Personally I dont think it's legal. If they are set up as two seperate corporate entities it is most definatley illegal, unless there is a clause saying they can hold funds for any reason.
                                                                But serioulsy, legal or not that is shady. Bottom line. I'd expect better from any ccbill ran company.

                                                                  But the second part... That's the "rub".

We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.” ― Omar Bradley (1948)
