Free web hosting

Some times you get a request that’s just so plain impudent, that you can’t even say no… Consider this – guy asks for 2GB of space, 15 GB of traffic for free hosting. Fine, I don’t mind that, no problem. But the concept there is to get money from the ads to move to normal paid hosting. So not only he doesn’t consider my hosting to be “normal”, he’s telling me that once he’s done eating off my plate, he’s gonna go spend those money some place else. So he gets hosting, money from ads, people to his web site and I get – nothing?

Something’s not kosher here.

Sometimes I wonder (again!)

Sometimes I wonder, what makes people take the job, promise to make something, after the allotted time tell you that you didn’t promise them enough pay. Not only that is stupid, it is also very non-professional. Since you’ve agreed to the terms – it is expected that you will abide by them. How would it look if you’ve done a job, but then I would say that you didn’t do it good enough and just wouldn’t pay? That would be wrong, indeed, so why do people think that if they spend your time and then tell you “you’re not paying enough” you would offer them more? Just because they are so great that they can’t even accomplish simple design? Amazing.

Another wonder comes from message boards. You post a message to hire a freelancer. Those who have been turned down (or even those who thought they would) start telling others that you are not professional. Who cares? Do they think they are the only ones who can design web sites? There’s a good word that perfectly describes these actions and the word is “masturbation”. Those who want to get paid – they ask for terms. They may like the terms or not, but that’s a whole another story. Weird people, weird indeed.

Windows Hosting is down

Yeah, it’s that time of the life when shit hits the fan HARD! The provider for Windows Hosting went down without notice… And IS down still for almost a week. Then we lost several clients, and finally decided to abandon the whole windows hosting thing and concentrate on Linix/PHP/mySQL in addition to web design services that we offer. Feel sorry for clients though.

Now the second part of the game – contacting 2Checkout for refund and cancellation, since the hoster (myonehome.com/worldseller.com) doesn’t respond.
