1. this is not a lack of service. we are not a service, we do this in our free time, we don't get paid.

2. were only messing with you. just search for 'a.koepke' and read all of his posts - theyre all the same.

3. please make out what you mean clearer next time. putting 'I use them and its great' at the end would have been fine.

4. no one has unlimited bandwidth and disk space. that is why this was started.

5. we are sorry that you do not like it here, perhaps you should like it here.

6. please do not attempt to get around the word filter, we have minors here (again, a.koepke )

thank you

You have had one other post not related to the webhost. I have seen that one and can't help you. I post answers where I can, but I don't know everything, no-one can. So telling me to go back to work and answer unanswered posts is a load of junk. I do not get paid to post in these forums, I post where I can help.

You have to admit that some of what you said was misleading and the unlimited transfer issue is a valid one. All connections can only support so much data at one time and if one user is using all of that (which is possible to do going by what you posted) then the host will not survive long since no other users will be able to access their sites.

I think you really need to get yourself a little better informed before claiming things which can't be provided. Its one thing just regurgitating what is written on a site, its another understanding what it means.

I found this in their FAQ
Quote:
You will receive 50Meg of space for NTBasic, 250Meg for NT250 and unlimited space for NT999. As long as you don't slow down our servers, we will not have a problem with traffic. Your account can be upgraded for free within first month. After first month, there's a $9.95 charge.


It is unlimited within reason.

You guys are very sad ,boring,etc etc.
The upgrade charge applies to space not bandwidth.
You need a break from your computer.
And this is a service,being paid or not ,it is still a service.
Your admin needs to review its moderators.

(2. were only messing with you. just search for 'a.koepke' and read all of his posts - theyre all the same. )



(As long as you don't slow down our servers, we will not have a problem with traffic.)
This for w.ankers like yourself who would purposly overload the servers then have a whinge about it.

I use to come here frequently, but as from now there is no point.
I havnt come across a pair of moderators as rude as you guys.Its obviously you havnt been moderating for long,maybe the thought of power has gone to your heads.

I dont believe in unlimited transfer.. What happens if your transfer rate can only handle 700gb per month and i want 900gb wheres the logic in that.


Posted by AUSSIE:
Its unlimited,what happens is you get unlimited!
But doesnt matter,if you only need 900gb,well you dont need unlimited


You claimed things were unlimited, simple, even to the point of 900gig which would slow down the server.

Now you post claiming that we are "w.ankers" who purposly overload servers and whinge about it. You are the one who needs to get a life.

1. You come into the forums and post a thread about a host. No problem with that.
2. Someone rightfully questions the unlimited space and bandwidth offered since we all know they are really not that unlimited.
3. You post a reply stessing they are unlimited claiming you will not charge us anything (misleading)
4. You are then questioned on what you are posting and you get annoyed
5. You are then proved wrong about your unlimited claims and now start abusing regular forum members

See how screwed up the above picture is.... why don't you just accept the fact you are acting like a troll and get a life.

Aussie, calm down a bit.

Your original post did look like an advertisement. We get a lot of them in here, they look similar and are usually posted by whoever runs the service.

Claims like 'unlimited bandwidth' and 'unlimited space' draw justfiable suspicion, since they are impossible services to provide. In theory, I could host a mirror of the WayBack machine (100 terabytes and expanding at a rate of 12 terabytes per month) for under $100 a year.

I don't think there's anything wrong with people pointing out false claims in a forum like this, otherwise it's just advertising.

Please remember we have minors on these boards. Keep the posts clean.

Also, do not try again to pass the word filter or you will be banned.

Thumbs down very bad customer service

They advertize instant setup (30 min) but after you pay nothing happens except an automatic email from sales.

I'm sorry I've risked my money and wasted my time.

And since you're asking everyone else for service, why don't you help this poor fellow who risked his money and wasted his time after you?

The best thing to do is cancel your account and find another host.

You are a comedian right ? When a web hosting service unhooks you from their primary and secondary server you are in the web site morgue. If you don't find another host then you disappear. Is everybody here brain dead ?

Stay far away from herculeshoster. They're the definition of amateurs. I finally quit them yesterday but in the two months prior my mail has been unavailable for a day or more six separate times, including 4 days and counting the last time. They bungled a mail server transfer and didn't tell any users about the move; they don't respond to repeated requests for help, and they seem barely literate.

Some things are too good to be true; herculeshoster is defiinitely one of them.
