Wasn't sure where to post this so mods feel free to relocate as necessary.
Anyhow was wondering if anyone has had dealings with these guys? https://www.theforge.digital/
They started off as a cheapo web host for hobby level sites such as one I knocked together with an ancient copy of Dreamweaver. About 18 months ago they went upmarket, though visiting their address on Google Street View reveals a tatty end terrace house opposite a Turkish barber in a rundown Yorkshire town. At that point all the tools to manage the account and the control panel for the hosting vanished and there are no links I can see for normal web hosting on their home page. They are not responding to contact either via the form on the site or the email link and their FB is private.
I renewed the hosting a few months a back via a form they sent but still no means of maintaining the site. I just had an email from Nominet that the domain name renewal is due soon. As I have no interest in the site anymore all I want to do is cancel and delete the files but a fresh round of messages a couple of days ago has failed to elicit any response.
So either grossly incompetent or a cowboy outfit, at least they haven't got my bank details to make any more charges.
If anyone has come across or uses then as web hosts perhaps you could share your experiences.
