Is the half off reseller accounts ONLY for the first month's payment, or is it continually half off, or for a certain amount of time?


It is reoccuring, so its continually half off.

I see a Account Suspended page.

You should see a page stating that RetroHost is now called Rewindd.net

Yes, when I go to rewindd, it shows suspended.

Well a couple of days ago I received an email from them saying they were closing down at the end of this month.

And then the next day I received another email that said "Ooops, no we're not!" So... Maybe they are closing down after all?

Well after talking to the server owner (Yes... server isn't owned by Rewindd... it is co-owned. Keep reading), found out why it is suspended...

The owner of Rewindd (Ryan) was paying for half of the server oodiistar with the HostnSurf (real server owner, also the company I am merging with biggrin.gif). They were business partners.
So he was paying $110/month for it when it costs fully $220.

So one day he said he cannot pay for the bill of $110 because his father has to go to hospital and he has to help pay for it. It turns out that he lied and kept the money for him self leaving the real server owner to pay for the whole server then causing financial problems and having to close HostnSurf.

So the real server owner suspended the account until Ryan pays the money. That also will probably cause problems for Ryan's clients because the account is suspended, he cannot transfer client's files to another server.

Server owner hasn't heard from him yet and hasn't received any money yet.

So if you are a client, I would suggest finding another host quickly before the server owner terminates the account and all sub accounts wacko.gif

Just alerting people on what is happening.

So I really don't think Ryan is going to pay because it has been 4 days and no reply yet.

Sclek, what you have done, though I know you did it for the good of his clients, is kind of wrong.

This makes me NEVER want to go to HostnSurf due to the fact that they don't keep their clients information confidential. If they gave you all of these details on why the client is suspended, that is wrong.

:\

What are you people talking about? wacko.gif

Rewindd (Ryan) wasn't a client. He was a business partner of HostnSurf that scammed HostnSurf.

They never gave any info about clients to me.

Read the topic and you might find out what they are talking about. This is pointless you posting asking what people are posting about.

Emiley (HostNSurf) told Mr. Sclek what had happened from her perspective, when that is not what happened at all. Anyways, what happens behind the scenes of somebody's financial operations is not for Zymic to hear, and clients were alerted and told what pertained to them, the status of their accounts.

Rewindd is still pouting off strong biggrin.gif
