Pirated Scripts from Cobra once again

I would like you to make others aware that ESBHosting / Cobra Scripts is a less than honest or honorable company to do business with.
Michael Rogers, the owner of that company is quite guilty of script piracy and AMCS is one of the scripts he has recently pirated along with the script for wildrose-xtream-traffic.com.
That is a Harland script and not a Cobra script and I have indeed reported him to the real owner. I actually do own a valid copy of the script which I paid good money for but because it is an auto surf most hosting won't allow it including my own. Even hostgato0e won't allow it because it has auto surf and ppc in the script. I am going to contact Glen from AMCS and see if I can host it with him.

In the meantime I am making everyone I know aware of the fact that Cobra Scripts openly pirates scripts and sells them as his own and that his hosting service ESB Hosting is less than honest and lacks decent support.

He shut down my site and suspended my account this past week for non payment of hosting fees which I have the paypal receipt showing paid more than 2 weeks ago on the 7th. Then when I raised an issue over it his response was "whatever" so I cancelled my account with him immediately which leaves my site without a host.

I too had hosting with ESB back in 2011. I had spoken to Michael several times and my understanding from the situation was that Michaels wife became terminally ill and she was the one who ran the internet business. He tried to sell the company and the first investor just hoarded all the incoming funds and did nothing. Michael then took ESB back and put everything right. He then found another investor who embezzeled the funds and let the rack fees expire.

Until this happened I was happy with the server speed and the service (customer service still sucked). I also had 25 different websites hosted on my account all of which I lost. I lost over 5,000 email addresses, I lost database backup files and other client site files. I begged with Michael to help get the data back but there was no use the servers had already been wiped.

I have never had many problems with being hacked, although now that I think about it I never tried to trace the hacker the one time I was. I just fixed my site. However I will say this, I jumped 4 hosting companies in 3 years. It is a process that sucks and is time consuming. DO NOT GO TO ESB!!! Choose a company who understands the importance of owning a website. InternetDomainManagement.com
