000webhost decided to suspend me for basically nothing.

[Nikolan]

In summary, I've had my site running off of their hosting for about 3 months now. I got bored, and set up a forum with fluxBB on it, and within like 20 minutes they suspended my account "for review". Note that I know people who have tried to set up a forum with 000webhost and they immediately get taken down (i wasn't thinking about this at the time). I opened a support ticket because they said it'd be back up after about 4 hours and it had been more than 9 hours since it went down. They never replied to my support ticket and now this morning I get this email:



So basically, they're now holding everything on my site from me unless I pay to get it back. This is total bullstuff, I'm never using their service again.

It was probably suspended because you were hosting a mirror of winamp.

[Joltar]

WOW never using this host /support

[Blockzillahead]

Nobody should be using this hosting service unless they are using it for free. If you are using it for free then tough luck, they can do whatever they please with your site. If you want to pay, use something else that's 100% much better.

that doesn't fit under any of the reasons they suspended my account. it's free software that isn't even being updated anymore

I actually thought it was an alright service for free. I didn't have much on my site and none of it is really important, so I'm not that mad. But it's ridiculous that they'd do that

We can only unsuspend your account if you upgrade to the premium hosting service from http://www.000webhost.com/upgrade

"Suspended accounts CANNOT be un-suspended"
bullstuff

I consider 000webhost good for a free web host, I didn't expect this.

[Brickmaster]

That's a load of stuff. They can't unsuspend your account unless you pay for premium. Why are they using extortion against you?

[Nikolan]

Why are they using extortion against you?

because they want money

I think 000webhost is just trying to pull a richard move and chose you, the unlucky person, to be extorted.
