Website Source has hosted both of my business sites for several years. Recently, the company began "offering" additional storage--for a price, of course. I began receiving several email messages per day from Website Source, telling me I was in dire need of the additional storage. I inquired and got 10 different elusive and evasive responses. I never learned how to "delete old messages from the server" (or which server they were referring to. I have diligently removed old messages from my Outlook and Roadrunner accounts since I've had them. Since the Website Source accounts forward to them, there shouldn't have been a problem. Right?)
To make matters worse, I also started getting occasional notices that mail sent from various false email addresses ending in "@nschicklaw.com" had bounced. Since Website Source hosts the email accounts @nschicklaw.com, and there are only a small number of them, I inquired. This time, I was ignored. At least twice.
Still worse, since I submitted my domain and hosting transfer request, I am getting nearly 1,000 of these fake failure messages per day!
I am told by my techie friends that this was common practice in hosting many years ago, but companies with integrity and high ethical standards now recognize they do not have to hold you hostage to get or keep your business. I have moved all of my accounts to GoDaddy.com. I will not use the "old timers" and subject myself to their dilatory tactics again.
