Hi All,

Im new to this forum

Need some legal advice on something

Im running this webhosting Company, I had one Website on their which was a bad apple site..which i shut down immediately as it had dodgy stuff on it and all

Now WHat happened few days later somoene had Pasted That Website which i had shutdown on a public Website and had posted every single website hosted on my server they did a Reverse IP lookup,
most those sites were geninue and business websites.

Now cos Of our Exposure by this particular Organisation that posted my company along with every single site on my server, anyone who does a google will automatically see that its under a bad name if you know what i mean, so im sure it will put people off.

So im wondering whether im allowed to take legal action on the grounds of this, I written to the website of that they wont bother responding or anything and i dont expect any response from them either cos i knwo they wont reply back we've already been tarnised

Considenring im UK based and the Website where my hosting company appeared in in America, do i have any case?

Thanks

Hmm how much wud it cost? like any ideas?

thing is i dont have a lawyer or anything im 23 ive never done that sorta stuff before....

What would the costs be to do summat like that?

Thing is im my own host lol i rent my own server and all, nowadays u dont get Datacentres being involved with the admin side of running your hosting company its usually up2 us and all if u know what i mean

1. I would drop the idea of legal action altogether. I can direct you to free legal aid sites, but it will still cost you far too much as you are based outside the US. It is also a matter of time, apart from money.
2. Why not re-start your business through www.searchen.com? They can cover your interests and make sure that no one steals your sites again. You can get a quote for them for minimal scope and upgrade as you go along.

hmm i guess so,no point then i guess but like i said it dont look good at all if people go and google these businesses and find it under a bad name site.

Ill cehck that site out, although im already like re-established and all be quite difficult to go and start from fresh if u know what i mean

thanks anyway

I am glad that you are re-established, but I firmly believe that you should take steps to have someone in the US ensure that your hard work and good name do not go down the drain again. Get a quote from www.searchen.com
It can do you no harm!
Good Luck!

hello mpadc, and welcome to CourtForum.com !

I'm John the administrator here at CourtForum.. i am also the owner of Searchen Networks noted above....

Can you please provide me with a direct link to a search which displays what is happening on Google...

Either that or provide me with the exact search term which brings back the results your speaking of....

Also the main site in question which started the problem..... (url)

I'd like to have a real good idea of what is happening so I can best answer any questions you may have.....

We need more professionals with your speed of response, without demanding payment upfront!

Can I take up your offer for another issue? Some of my associates used to write for www.hotnacho.com and the flow of work has stopped abruptly since early April. None of us can understand the explanation on the site and neither they nor Wordpress are willing to respond to our queries.

Sorry to deviate a bit from mpdac's original request!

Depending on whether or not you had an actual contract with them, I would assume they are in no obligation to send you work as it is was on a "freelance basis"...

If you had only a verbal agreement to do work on assignment, then I doubt you would have any recorse to talk about.

In my opinion, in good ethics, they atleast owe you a decent explanation to what went wrong, or atleast comment that the assignments are finished and they nolonger have work to assign you.

I have reflected on your information and advice and will keep it in mind for the future-thanks!
