I thought that I'd put this entry here to explain why I'm closing this site.Posted by Davo
After over 30 emails, over 3 weeks and getting different answers from more than 10 different people from Bluehost Support, I've finally managed to get them to give me what I've paid for.
This site will now stay open until June 2010 as that's how long I'm paid up till.
I think that anyone would be hard pressed to find a group of people more stupid, inept and with a lower IQ than the ones employed at Bluehost.com Support.
I detest dealing with idiots which is the main reason that I've decided to close this site in June 2010. I was thinking of moving to another host, but as my site uses up to 175 gigabytes of data per month I am restricted to shared hosting because of the low cost. But unfortunately this also means very little and sub standard support (by idiots).
From the research I've done on Google concerning other hosting companies, it would appear that they're all pretty much the same.
I am pleased that my site has brought a certain amount of enjoyment and usefulness to many people and it is gratifying to know that what I have created has served a useful purpose. From the emails I have received and my guestbook, I know that there are many nice people in the world.
For quite some time now I have been finding it very difficult to maintain any interest in updating this site and have become increasingly depressed by the number of mindless morons who seem to be all over the net with their spam, pornography, scams, racism, and downright pointless nastiness.
A considerable amount of my time in setting up this site has been devoted to keeping out these morons and ensuring that this site remains "family friendly". All of you internet users who have not managed a popular website would be quite amazed at the number of people who try to "spam" my website with "free" advertising for their business, or links to porno sites, their personal website, email addresses and lots more.
Then I had to waste weeks of my time trying to get my domain name renewed in time, even though I had paid for it two months before it was due. (Bluehost.com sucks)
I guess I'm just fed up and I don't want the stress any more. And for anyone think of signing up with Bluehost.com --- DON'T.
