Thank you, Patrick! But I’m a US client … it’s looking like more trouble than it’s worth to get my hundred bucks back. Alas …

Hi steve, I used to be hosted with Burton and they impressed me with the speed of their hosting. Unfortunately they had non-existent customer service so I got out while I could. They are a UK limited company as far as I know so you should be able to sort something out.

Firstly, you do know that the Web 2.0 Hosting Test was a scam set up by Burton themselves, right? Secondly, they are gone, leaving without notice and owing many of us a heap of money. Do you have any information that could assist me in pursuing legal action against them? Thank you!

We have been a long customer of Burton Hosting, since 2003. They used to have a very good support, BUT now our website has been down for 5 days and we don’t know how to contact them. We have just renew our account for another 2 years (so stupid *sigh*), now Burton Hosting completely unreachable.

They’re going down and out of business. Back everything up. I dare you to reach anyone in the company now. My site there has been down for 5 days since my “renewal” and there’s nobody to reach.

The transfer was fine, I made sure the new site was running before switching the DNS records and then went away for a few days.

How was your transfer?

Was it easy and painless?

I am looking for a new host but I am bit afraid of the hassle involved.
