    Well it been a pain to see people being cammed out of hosting , (same as steam accounts)Zain a very good host but then someone uploaded illegal files and many accounts are still down, and now he is banned , and to make it better on 'vacation' . and now Mr Mythic man selling some good hosting but is now banned... <_< The only good host that has never come across problems is D-Luzion so i think this is the same as steam accounts being sold. O_O


    Basically what im trying to say is banning hosting being sold on gr for credits. people are getting mad (zain, and now mr mythic) , alot of them are down.

    I think Zain is banned from advertising, I forgot.

    But if you want, I'll start a hosting bussiness, cause I got unlimited everything, but I'm working off of a subdomain, so you'll need to get your own domain...

    STFU I HATE PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT.

    There is NO SUCH THING IS UNLIMITED HOSTING. its UNMETERED.

    And you probally dont have WHM with your hosting, which means u cant give out cpanel accoutns which menas no one would buy..


    Now on-topic - Hosting is a very serious thing, and some people need to know who to trust and who not to, personally i dont trust ANY hoster on a GRAPHICS forum for obvious reasons.. if they dont have a REAL professioal hosting site, i wont buy off of them, thats why i keep my hosting to professionals. your taking your own risk on buying hosting from somsone youve never met before so dont complain when ur your fault.

    I haven't bought hosting here (cept zain free :P) well now its down but i think this should be banned, because of all the problems better just to get a pro host like you said. (Dluzion is a pro host :) )

    I don't understand the actual problem or suggestion here? Are you suggesting we ban the selling/trading/giving away of hosting by members?

    ^Yes that's what he is saying. Zain told me over MSN that his hosting will be up any day now and as soon as it is he will restore all of the sites.
    It is definently a risk, which is why you should buy from people you know. I got hosting form Andrew on iGO because I've known him for a long time. Besides, that hosting is directly linked to iGO. This means, if for some reason iGO goes down, my site goes down. Knowing Andrew he would restore the hosting really quickly because he works really hard on iGO and therefore my site will be restored as well.
    I did purchase from Zain and just couldn't wait any longer which is why i alaso went along and purchased from Andrew.
    It all has to do with reliability.
    To answer your question on wether or not it should be banned... No... but I think selling "For Life or "For 1 Year" should. There is no chance those plans will go on for life and I will be shocked if my stays up for a year (it's what I purchased). I think if anything it should be set to a certain length. Maybe 3 month or 6 months tops. This is for reseller though. If someone is operating a proffessional hosting site then I don' think those cases should apply.

    I bought hosting from Dluzion awhile ago. He has been a very nice host. He also now has people working for him. He has a support center, I had to use it cuz my cpanel password got f'd up. The service was very fast, and I was very please.

    Hes hardly trying to 'hide' by saying hes on vacation. He notified me BEFORE he left, and before his hosting had any issues that he was leaving.
