50megs.com billing me for old account

Posted onAuthorTruXter

I dropped 50 megs from my website host, probably 4 years ago.

I didn’t like the small storage I was paying for and limited function and limited … well everything.
Today I looked in my spam filter and see that 50megs has been trying to contact me to get billing issue resolved.

Here’s the email I found from them:

Dear TruXter,

and here is what my webhosting is actually registered through

 

Why would they try and bill me for something I don’t use them for anymore?
did their servers crash and they back up a broken file?

Well I use Powweb now because it’s cheaper and unlimited with way more function.

 

none of my site is through 50megs. Not my domain name not my storage, nothing is on their servers .

A Letter To Comcast- You Blocked My Site!

Posted onAuthorTruXter9 Comments

I am the owner of iworkwithpeople.comI have not been able to connect to my website now for nearly a week, I have seen that I can connect while at work on a t3 line, and I can connect on my female friend’s computer that has a dsl line, and a few friends from live.Pirillo.com have helped me and checked the connection from where they are and they all connect.. except the people on comcast . My site’s address is iworkwithpeople.com and the service I have is through 50megs.com. i assume they took it upon themselves to block 50megs.com for what ever reason they saw fit. in the process of blocking 50megs, they blocked me.. This reduces the number of page visits considerably. Considering they monopolized the cable industry, it looks more like a 20’s gangster bull crap “ehh mugsy don’t let no one connect to them until they pay me 50% seeeeeeee” .I am not happy with this .

The letter I wrote is to follow…

Comcast Houston blocking my domain.
I own a website, through 50megs.com
I can connect to my file manager on sbc dsl, I can connect through sprint dsl and I have connected at work with a t3 line, but when I get home or to any of my friend’s houses with Comcast I can not connect to 50megs.com . I am near time to re up on my domain name and hosting bills and getting really frustrated that I can not connect from home where i feel safe. I want to connect to my service and it appears you are blocking me. Please look into this and solve this issue.

************update****************


Someone sent me a link to a proxy thingy for myspace

and it actually worked, just typed in my web site address and bamI whent directly to my site. I did not type in my password or anything though, I really do not know  if I trust a third party site like that… ya know?  so if you are on comunismcast or any service that can not see my site right now, gie that a try. see for your self that you are actually blocked.
