I noticed my forum sig wasn't showing today but I thought nothing of it. My friend phoned me to say that i-web have gone bust/bankrupt/closed doors.

Their website is down, my websites are down and I assume everyone elses on the hosting is as well.

Where do i stand in getting money back from the company and who would I contact? I am trying to find details to phone them tomorrow but if there is no answer who do I go through to attempt to get my money back as I have paid for 6 months hosting in advance!

Thanks!

Hope I have everything backed up on my mac :/ sods law Ill be missing something I need though!
 
They might just be having technical difficulties - I'd give them some time.

If they really have gone bust, you might find it very difficult to get your money back. If they have appointed receivers you could speak to them and put in a claim but often when hosting companies go under they just disappear without a trace. In that case your only hope is if you have paid by credit card in which case you could make a chargeback.

Good luck and please do post back with the outcome :).
 
I paid through paypal so not sure where I stand there! Just upped my service as well to the next level, hopefully something comes through with this though
 
You'll get nothing from Paypal unless the transaction was card funded, sorry :(.

It's possible they're being DDoS'd and will be back soon. I wouldn't worry too much yet.
 
You should be able to at least open a dispute - you haven't received what you paid for.
 
Nope it's true, i-web have closed the doors without letting any of the customers know. Apparently Adam (owner) sold the company on to a web design company which haven't paid the server bills to VooServers - but take this all with a pinch of salt.

Theres a big thread over at Cableforum.co.uk regarding i-web (most of the customers were CF members).

Regarding retreving data, the only solutions is to sign up to a package with VooServers and get them to transfer the data across from the i-web servers (speak to Mark at VS as he is doing all of the transfers) - other than that, theres not a lot you can do :(
 
i think Matt is only transfering data between VooServers account, which is a bit of pain (will find out soon) - but it's only £2.99 for the Bronze package a month, which is worth it to grab any data back and then upload it somewhere else (which is what im hoping to do with as i've gone with Tsohost.co.uk).
