SCAM ARTISTS!!! Canada Web Hosting / Synergy Web Services

[hostvancouver]

Canada Web Hosting recently sold all their shared hosting clients to another company!

That new company, Synergy Web Services, is billing customers in advance for a years hosting. We had cancelled our accounts and they still ran a charge on our credit cards. I don't even know how they legally obtained the credit card info in the changeover???!!

Anyway - they refuse to refund the charges?

Has anyone else had problems with Canada Web Hosting or this new company Synergy Web Services.

Heads up to all out there in search of a host...I have been dealing with issues since the middle of March and they still haven't called me back or tried to rectify any billing issues.

I think they might be running some sort of scam.

SO I have not yet received a bill from Synergy for a full year in advance, but thanks for the heads up. But you are right, Canada Web Hosting did a huge disservice to their shared hosting clients when the sold them off to Synergy. Not only were they totally dishonest about it (indeed never acknowledged this is what they had done) but the new service from Synergy is terrible. Had no one ever shown them cPanel? Anyways, I agree, both of these comapnies should be stayed well away from.

Selling the company along with billing info is fine, the rest is not. You can probably do service to the community bu exposing this on more popular hosting forums.

I have and will continue to do so until Canada Web Hosting and Synergy are forced to make a formal apology to their customers and/or cry in public.
