Hi,

Just read through your posts. I too have had a terrible time with CIHOST billing, so I am leaving them. I had hosted 3 sites at one time on their shared unix package. When I decided to cancel the first one, I informed them that they are not to charge my credit card for it and that I was cancelling it. They charged my card anyway. I fought witht he billing department, and they eventually refunded only some of what the charged, taking a $90 service charge.

Next, when it was time to renew another site, I told them to not use the credit card that they had int heir records, as I wanted to change that. They used it anyway. So that's it...when the year runs out for my teo sites still there, I will not renew.

I'm glad I read your posts..I will be sure that I make it clear that I am cancelling the sites.

They are real dirtbags, and there is a lot of bad press about them out there.

I suggest you file a claim with the Better Business Bureau of West Texas (you'll see that CI HOST already has a horrible record there.) You might also wish to file a claim with the IFCC (www1.ifccfbi.gov). You probably won't get your money back, but at least you can play a part in getting some justice for all those who have been ripped off by this company.

Good luck!
