So a little while ago out of the blue I guess the hosting company I was with for my server got bought out which is all fine and dandy with me but this morning I get an email saying i have to pay money in order to keep my account active. Granted the fee is small only $5 but i paid my lease in full at the startup, so in other words no monthly payments. This new company sends an email out announcing who they are which again doesnt bother me but no where have i signed any terms and conditions with them and yet this morning they send out this email:
Hello,
The server will soon be reloaded Next Week (around the 3/11/2012) . ALL Accounts will be terminated! - Please backup your accounts. Once the server has been reloaded any resellers paid their account fee of $5 will be reloaded and placed back on the server (we will need you to reply to this email with your email address for payment options.)
This Process needs to happen due to faulting services and applications. We will repost all the news on hidden.com which is the company running this server. Please email support@hidden.net if you need any help on any of the issues.
To me this sounds a little like extortion, can they do this?
