Stay away form 000webhostcom. it is good only for who wants to learn setup wordpress on own webhosting.

Yeah , thats true bro
Everything related to 000webhost is a Scam, their free hosting sucks too

wow, is that true?
i have to remove their banner in my blogs immediately, thanks for the info

masih setia memajang banner 000webhost, sekadar balas budi atas free hosting yg saya pakai.

yup theare realy big scam, I’ve search through google and no one ever accept their payment

yes,like hendrawan said. it’s became the public secret like ziddu,but in other the matter,they provide free hosting services,that was useful for us….
very useful information to bloggers ,mas fatih.

waduh yang bener aja nie? tapi gpp yang scam kan affiliate-nya bukan gratisannya hehe

well… it’s ok if scam. cause it’s only for the affiliated but not for free host.

If just to gave space for using it free hosting from them, it’s fair, dont you think…….

Save yourself a huge headache and HEED the warnings you’ve read elsewhere about this “affiliate program”. It is a TOTAL scam. I fell for the lucrative prospect of $5 per signup but now I am in the same boat as all the others.

I signed up nearly 40 customers in less than a month and waited patiently for them to finish the “verification” process. After one month (30 days) affiliates are to be paid on the first of the following month.

Today (December 21, 2008) I receive an “announcement” in my affiliate home page stating the following (which others report as well):

“”"Announcement: we have started to use 60 days signup verification procedure (we used 30 days signup verification system before). That is because we received lots of fraudulent signups especially from Vietnam and China and we need more time to check everything. So if you have referred user today, it will be credited in 2 months. We need these 2 months to protect us from fraudulent signups. We are sorry if we made any inconveniences for you and let us to know if you have any questions.”"”

FUNNY though, because I ONLY accept US traffic through google adwords and facebook ads, so there is NO POSSIBLE WAY that you were getting ANY Chinese and/or Vietnamese traffic to my referral link.

This is teh SAME tactic they use on everyone else. The thing is, this announcement was NEVER updated in their terms of service, thus making it a non-enforceable term of the affiliate promoting/payment conditions. As such the host is in breach of their contractual obligation to meet the payment deadline of January 1st if they indeed intend to hold off payment for another 30 days.

I suggest ANYONE who was scammed by this company take the time to report them to the host as well as PAYPAL so that paypal investigates and hopefully FREEZES their assets associated with their paypal account and puts a bit of hindrance at the very least on their scamming.

I also encourage anyone that has been scammed to file a formal complaint with the FBI online fraud division: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx They are there to stop online fraud, even for just a few hundred bucks. With enough of us together, we will get the FBI’s attention.

Also file a complaint at the FDC. http://www.fdc.gov

Below are the images of my referrals coming up for payment and then you’ll see that they now reflect an additional 30 days of “verification” added to the time before payout.

I just reached my 20 signups, guess what they told me that they had changed the active time from 30 days to 60 days!!!! I irritating. Had started to plan how to use the money.

my site http://www.letli.com is not hosted with them, but i have another site with subdomain, that works fine.

i agree with u all.if u look at the scripts u will
know that they hav step by step resoning for ur pament postponed.the 30 days part in the members area changes to 60 as soon as u get 20 signups ready to b paid.so this whole continues which finaly ends up in account suspension..

Oh Ternyata scam, wah terlanjur mimpi dapet 1 juta dengan merefer 20 orang.
SIALAN!

Thnks bro… Akan saya jadikan referensi utk mengingatkan teman2 yang lain.

thanks atas informasinya..jadi lebih ati2..

thanx for sharing, saya juga pasang bannernya, just for say thanks for their free hosting

that’s why skepticism, to a certain extent, must be maintained. Taking advantage of others’ gullibility only ruins their reputation..”(

I’m researching 000webhost and ran across this site. Thank you all for the heads up!
I also wanted to say that I market a legal service plan. For $26 a month you get access to a law firm, USA and Canada. If you had this service you could just call your law firm and have them deal with the situation. If you want more information email me working4you@comcast.net (One part of the plan is unlimited calls to your attorney and letter writing)

Good luck!
