I Need A Host That's Not A DICK!
:helpme Just yesterday I had a website... (yea who knew?)
We have a forum (sorta like Stile Project) where members post images and videos of dead people, naked girls and links to all kinds of 'college humor' crap. One of my members uploaded a bunch of pics and one of them had a "Suicidal Girls" logo on it... Well, I'm down at Mardi Gras, (w00t!) taking pictures and just tonight, I go to plug in at the lobby. Was gonna upload some pics, but... Banned... Yea, I guess the owner or whoever of the pics contacted my host. He wrote me some 5 paragragh bullshit email yesterday, telling me about how he 'takes his hosting company seriously' and to remove it in 3 hours or else. I was about a day late. But I'm really offended. He talked down to me like, becuse I run a college humor site, that I'm not as professional as he. Because even though my content is all bullshit, I take my bullshit seriously. :1orglaugh |
Talk to Mike at phatservers.com, he can help you out.

Let me also note:
That some people get easily offended by my media and somehow, they're compelled to jump on AOL and send emails to hosts... I need a host that'll tell them to :321GFY (gofuckyourself) |
Does anyone here besides me think that hosts are getting a bit too anal?
|
contact Ray at PrimeInternet.com or Poppy ( best ) at JupiterHosting.com

no hosts arent getting too anal, laws are getting more strict...

How is that a bad sign? We're upgrading to better serve the clients... it was announced to all our clients ahead of time... We've been in business for 6 years.

I have never even seen his T0S... I don't even know if his company (if applicable) has one. I met him on THESE BOARDS and on good faith of the GFY fellowship, we made a deal. |
:\ that's unfortunate... you'd think from being on these boards that he would have a high tolerance for that type of humour....

What I REALLY don't get is where your host takes it seriously, rather than clicking the 'Junk Mail' button. There has got to be SOME cool hosts out there... :) |
So does that about wrap it up for offers?
No more questions, comments or gripes and moans about hosts? I will contact everyone one of you. I'm not just saying that. I think I might start a new website for a directory of cool hosts. Would that fly? |

Yep, Mike is the best in my book! :thumbsup |
I replied to you on another board. Didn't see this post here until just now. Have a look at http://www.highcountryhosting.com
We're running a special, details are posted at http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=425113 We won't shut you down for any reason as long as you remove copyrighted images within a reasonable amount of time if asked to do so. Don't give a shit about anything else that you or your users post. :) |
I'm guessing that the host was not so concerned about the nature of your board, but that the poster used images he had no rights to .. in other words .. violating US and international copyright laws .. this could get the host (and you) into mucho trouble .. should the actual owner (as you suspected) acted to protect his property ..
Just my two cents ... |

And you can burn in hell. Host have to much power over their clients. When you sign up, you agree to a 3 page Terms of Service, that basically says: "We can pull the plug on you for saying fucker", but yet, they agree to nothing. Am I the only one seeing the free world shattering? |
why pay? you can join www.sultryserver.com for free
|
Yeah, cause anybody who's serious goes with free hosting. How much traffic do you steal to provide the "unlimited" bandwidth and drive space?

lol, is that how that works? |

haha. I've already broken your TOS: II. SultryServer.com may terminate user accounts at any time, without notice for conduct that violates these guidelines: Quote:
We have a forum... Along the lines of Stile Project... Did I not make that clear? And then there's this: Quote:
