Almost immediately after moving several sites to BinaryBlocks from another incompetent, now-defunct host, we noticed several instances of prolonged downtime. Sometimes the sites were down for two or three days. On one occasion, our sites were down for 5 days.

It must be your ISP. The server is up, and I have a multi-million dollar monitoring system in place to alert my staff when the server is down.

This was the standard response. And then one day, after another period of extended downtime, this message was displayed on the BinaryBlocks home page:

Disconnected For Non-Payment

This server/site has been turned off for non-payment. All the data on this server/site has been retained. If you have any questions please contact wwww.cobaltracks.com.

As it turns out, Jason Piercy's business was nothing more than a fancy website, a leased server and an extra phone line in what may have been his mother's garage. He had hundreds if not over a thousand customers who were paying good money; but instead of paying the bill for the leased server, he bought a new car.

After six months of non-payment, the dedicated server folks pulled the plug and hundreds of websites vanished.

This is what happens when you do business with lying schmucks.
