Say bad things about letshost.ie and get shutdown!

So, one day you decided to host your website with letshost.ie, all is well although your not happy because you find your site is slow so you find yourself unhappy with your webhost.

So as your unhappy when somebody asks for a suggestion for a webhost you say the following on boards.ie, bearing in mind your post is anonymous except for your site listed in your sig:


Don't go with letshost.ie if the performance of your website is important to you. Their servers are US based and it is my experience that performance can be very sluggish.


After posting such comments you receive a phone call from letshost.ie in relation to your thread on boards.ie, later on you find your website is suspended and worse still when you query this with letshost.ie you get the following:

Hello,

I refer to your hosting account with us for woodentoys.ie and the terms and conditions of hosting which you have accepted:

http://www.letshost.ie/The_News/Late...ms_of_Service/

"Abuse:

That's disgraceful! Any customer is entitled to voice their opinion of any service. And surely the ISP has no right to cold-call them based on a post on a third party site? How could they confirm it was their customer? And as for pulling the plug on their site, that's ridiculous! If that happened in the US, I'm sure the host would be facing a major lawsuit
