HostDoc are closing down
Just got this email from HostDoc..
It is with great regret that I write this email.
HostDoc will be closing its doors today and will no longer accept orders for any service moving forward.
All payment gateways are now inactive. All clients will be refunded pro-rata and a few refunds have already began being issued. If your refund has not yet been recieved, please open a ticket and be patient, all valid requests will be refunded.
If you have a paypal subscription set up, please cancel it now.
As much as I enjoy providing a hosting service basically for free (there has never been a profit margin which was not reinvested into new hardware), and as much as I can fend away many if not most of the trolls or those that try and bring the brand or reputation down, it is a much harder feat when it is someone that was once trusted.
As such, this is a notice that backs ups should immediately be taken and alternative hosting solutions be sought as a replacement for the services you currently have with us.
Services will not go down immediately, however, acting immediately would see you prepared for when our services do eventually go down which can be up to 30 days from today.
Our cpanel shared hosting may stay available for the next 6 months. If this is the case, no further fee will be charged to current users however, you are urged to use this time to prepare backups and migrate away from HostDoc.
I am sorry to those I will be letting down with this decision.
I am sorry I could not be the host I envisioned being.
Thank you for choosing HostDoc and allowing us to serve you as best as we could.
Kind regards
HostDoc.

Why they close business?
Wha.. what happened
they provide discount offers 20 times recently ,shit porvider ever I seen
What?
(and gosh darn it, I just cancelled a legacy OVH service which I can't re-purchase and in the process of moving everything to HostDoc...F)
Holy crap, I legit thought I'd gone off the rails for a second.
Speechless.
Their deals were great while it lasted... not like I had anything important on these servers.
THIS IS WAHT THEY SAID :I unfortunately cannot continue in this industry with such malicious characters.
I am proud of what I have built and would like its legacy to end positively.
Wait, why do I sense that he is blaming this on me?
Sadly if you put so much time into something but get nothing in return, you’ll experience burnout eventually.
I hope everything is okay with the owner. Hopefully they’ll be able to take a well deserved break and chill out for a bit.
can confirm received the email mins ago.
Can say having this host has been a roller coaster ride sense day one.
wish i could say thanks for your services while they lasted but have had many headaches because of them so.. eh...
Not that I am surprised by this, but I trusted you. I hope some of you guys are happy now. I doubt any other providers can match any of my deals as a refugee offer. It was great while it lasted.
Shit. That is bad and sad. I was kinda expecting doc to pull a 180 degree after the recent incident
On the same note, granted, it will be impossible to match his offerings, as one can guess. However, If anyone interested and needs a new home, please shoot a pm. As I mentioned, won't be able to match but we can try our best to help out.
I wish Chieve all the best. Kudos for not closing operations overnight and giving users proper notice.
Wow... didn’t expect this coming... I wonder what will happen to those who topped up account credit during their top up bonus period last week 🤔
You might be onto something lol.
From his email:
Because you called him out on his crap and those kind of folks can’t handle honesty
I can recreate Ladydoc's inner thoughts.
So, was it Treudler v3 ? @Neoon
PMS to the bitter end it seems.
I still haven't ruled out the possibility this was a rash decision he'll have forgotten about when he wakes up until he checks his mail.
Probably because he was. You went all "I could air all your dirty laundry." I'm not gonna comment how I feel about that either way, been on both sides of that fence.
Fair call, I like your diplomatic approach and there's a reason I keep this away from your realm :-)
Could back and forward that point all day, but it is what it is I guess..
I am not fan of hostdoc. But sad to see this going away.
.
Well, shit. If I can singlehandedly cause a host to shut down then there's a really fucking serious glitch in the matrix.
Admit that you are a troll and join Nigh cult.
The end is always nigh, lowend folks.
Looks like somebodies future as a influencer/host rep might be lacking potassium after this fiasco.
haha
Trolling is one of my favorite pastimes.
Possibly, time will tell.
Agreed. I've not had any problems with HostDoc so it's class that he gave everybody a heads up and timeframe. I've been on the end of hosts that have said "We're doing server maintenance on the weekend so make sure your backups are up to date" and then they shut the server down and vanish. This last is why I wanted to act quickly, just in case...
