A Little Public Announcement

Many disgruntled (ex-)clients of theirs already know this, but just in case you didn't yet:

FreeHosting / LaDot / ActiveISP, whatever they call themselves these days, SUCKS !
Everybody already knew that you pay an arm and a leg for barely any online storage and crappy service there, making it a rather sour deal. If you're thinking of hosting your site with them, GET OUT OF THE DEAL WHILE YOU STILL CAN !
Now.. LaDot, I will call the beforementioned extremely shitty company here, is a bureaucratic pile of elephant dung. And I should know because I have first-hand experience with them. Two friends of mine and I used to have a little 'playground' site up on one of their servers. This is our story..
Back in the day (we're talking over three years ago) we decided to start a fake company called HorDensSoft. Back then, FreeHosting (as it was called) had a very sweet deal: you could have a .nl address for very little money, and get a free .com with it. Cool, right ? Sure, each site had about 5 MB of total storage which sucked balls, but still. Just for fun, it was adequate. For some reason we're never charged for the .nl, which we actually called them about, and at some point they do send us the bill, which we pay. That's fine. It wasn't that much.
Shortly after, FreeHosting becomes LaDot. All the notification we get is 'We are now LaDot'. No other notification of changes in service or price or anything. Meanwhile we've started a little discussion and decided we'll give up the .nl since we're not using either of the two sites anymore anyway. We call in, after a lot of bureaucratic hassle the .nl is removed, we don't receive any more bills, and lo and behold, the .com is still there. But hey, that was free, right ? Especially since we were never informed otherwise.
So now, after three years, we suddenly get a bill of some 300 Euros. SAY WHAT ?!!
Say you get something for free, then the company who gave it to you is taken over but nothing's supposed to change according to them, then three years later they present you with a bill for something you were never told you'd have to pay for - what do you call a company like that ?
So.. the person who got the bill isn't happy. He's gonna try and fight the evil bastards, and sure as hell doesn't intend to pay the bill. We haven't really used the site at all in years, anyway, so fuck it, let them kill it or whatever. Fine by us.
Anyway, just thought I'd send the message out there: stay away from any company that goes by any of the three beforementioned names. You don't want to get into this kind of crap. Trust me.
