FeedsHosting Puppy sells out
Today the customers of Hosting Puppy were in uproar @ WHT (thread) due to an outage, which developed into an arguement over who actually runs the company, since it was sold without any real customer notice.
According to Jon Watson, the origional owner of HP, the company was passed over to Rama Media Group on the 31st March this year, yet none of the customers seemed to acually know this. Why? Because they weren’t notified, the only notification was on the HP company forums. When signing up for a hosting account, you don’t expect to have to read their forums/register at their forums just to see whats going on, this is what email is designed for!
The story gets stranger, firstly, in the whois record for hostingpuppy.com, the contact name is still “Jon Watson”, after three months? Secondly, Jon Watson has continued to post offers on WHT in relation to Hosting Puppy’s buck-a-gig hosting. Has the company really been sold?
Good luck to all Hosting Puppy customers, sites seem to be bouncing offline and online, hopefully you have backups because it looks like it might be time to move hosts. Good luck!
