Complaint Review: 1 Dollar Hosting - Web Country - Phil Shapiro

1dollarhosting aka web country aka Phil Shapiro are thieves! They are unprofessional, and major rip-off artists!

After my client upgraded his account, paying for a full year in advance. He decided too transfer to another Web hosting company. He did NOT ask for a refund, he simply was unsatisfied with tech support, and many of thier features, or should I say lack of features. When my client attempted to transfer his DNS and domain. Web country IE Phil Shipiro, suspended his account, even after he just paid for a full years service. Phil got mad becuase he lost a client, so he has locked the domain name, forcing my client to register a complete new domain name with another company. What a childish, unprofessional, unethical brat. My client is currently starting legal recourse. It will probably cost my client $1600 for law suite for less than $100 dollars in lost, other than the loss of his Domain Name, but he feels crooks like Phil Shapiro AKA 1dollarhosting & web country should not be allowed to get away with such unfair trade practices.

1dollarhoting ie webcountry has the domain locked and they are the admins for enom.com resgistrant

Dear Phil shapiro aka 1 dollar hosting aka web country,
I am very unpleased with the service you have provided to my client www.ccfarm.com and myself.
I have been teaching the Master CIW Designer & MCSE classes at Duke, Xavier, Southern States, American and several other universities in the past years. I have been recommending 1 dollar hosting for years. I have probably supplied you with close to a hundred clients over the past 4 years.

Now, when I attempt to transfer 1 client www.ccfarm.com, i feel my client and myself have been treated very disrespectful and unprofessional. Instead of talking condescending to me on the phone (on the speaker phone in front of my client, I might add) and instead of immediately disabling the ccfarm account before re-directing the dns servers, which has caused his site to be down for several days, you could have handled this much better.

Also, I have probably lost another web site design job with ccfarm, whom happens to be a large land owner, business owner, and very well connected through out the US because I recommended your services to him several years ago..

I am not for sure how you are going to "make ammends" for your actions, though I can gaurantee that if this situation isnt corrected soon, I will make maximum efforts to inform everyone I have recommended and those that I would have recommended to think twice about specifically using 1 dollar hosting in the future. I also have several web sites that recieves thousands of hits a month. I know I am a very little cog compared to your company althrough grass root missions have been very effective in the past.
Sincerely,
MCT, MCSE, Master CIW Designer, A+ CCT
