True but i am the only one who has used the account in the last couple of months. I provided all the cPanel logins that have been used since the account was first created plus I am the owner of all the domains on the account. I think at the least that fact that i still know all the cPanel logins since the account was first made(which their has been 6) would be proof enough to at least give me a backup. Since before the account suspension I would of been able to do that anyways because I have the login info. Plus I am the founder of all 3 websites that the server hosts.

Well after arguing with the guy for about 2 days I managed to be able to have him unsuspend the account for 2 hours to do a backup. So I was supposed to get 3 site, about 4.5 gigs of files and 9 databases each one over 150mb off the server in 2 hours... needless to say that I had 7 different people including myself scrambling to get all the files and databases off the server in time. We made it by about 15 minutes if that...

I sure know that I would never do it to any of my clients either...unless there is very very good reason to, and even then there would be some warning.

well thats good to hear. I have never felt to screwed over in my life. They robbed my of 8 months of paid hosting(They canceled my account and I still had 8 months paid for, They refused to refund me) and my websites have been down for several days now and will not be able to get them up for at least 3-4 days. This whole thing has been a nightmare.

Anyone wanna recommend a good cheep hosting company?
