I've got a few hostees and most of them are GREAT! They leave me the hell alone, don't cause any problems with other site owners...they just get on with it. Awesome!
Then there's this one hostee...
I've had three people contact me in the last four months, complaining of something this hostee has done.
This hostee has stolen a script, tried to get some people on a coding forum to recode a php script for them so they could distribute it as theirs, when the owner of the script that was stolen contacted the hostee through the comments on their blog, the hostee edited the comment (which is a big no-no for bloggers).
This hostee has also started *****ing about another site owner (all because the site owner didn't feel the need to put 'this is my opinion' on their article and didn't have completely awesome grammar or something). The site owner contacted me and they're pretty offended (and I can't blame them).
A while ago, I got an offline YIM message from this hostee, saying: "We need to talk about my site. It doesn't show in IE or AOL".
Okay, wtf am I supposed to do about YOUR site not displaying in certain (crappy) browsers?
I had a problem with my site displaying in IE (it was because of WordPress :|) and when I thought I had the problem fixed, I made a topic about it on another forum, asking for IE users to just mess around on my site and see if they get anymore "page cannot be found" errors. (The problem was fixed!) The hostee basically hijacked my thread because of some problem or another on their site.
This hostee, despite being hosted for free, has so much bloody advertising on their site, it's sickening.
I have no problem with a couple of Adsense blocks but when you've got enough ads on one page to fill my entire screen (1280x768) and paid advertising AND a 'buy a layout' section, it's taking the piss. ¬_¬
This hostee has got to go. They're taking advantage, they're causing problems, they're making me look bad and like I tolerate that sort of crap. :censored:
