So he's essentially the slightly better spoken version of mtwisatool, then?

I stopped reading after that.I hope this topic is still alive? ,
I would like to start off by mentioning that I do agree i was at fault doing the following
1.copying TOS of another provider
2. I wasn't clueless of the datacenter ( although I didnt know if it belonged to kansas )
I was new to the industry being an 18y old you shouldn't expect much @ startup point of time when all I knew was virtualisation / PHP / MYSQL development.
Keeping that aside I haven't seen anyone ever pointing out that our services / support wasn't intact ?
Why are you taking peoples money if you're so inexperienced? It's not other peoples job to understand your incompetency. If you'd taken the time to learn about business, the industry and law (especially IP law) in general and started your business when you were prepared and not just excited you could have avoided all of this.I was new to the industry being an 18y old you shouldn't expect much @ startup point of time when all I knew was virtualisation / PHP / MYSQL development.
Aside from the still stolen content, do you have a law degree? If not it would be wise to hire a lawyer to review your legal documents to verify they are even enforceable. Have you registered your business with your state/countries legal entities? If so, what is your registered #/ID?I've re-written my own version o f TOS which is quite simple and small and upto point. I've also designed my own hosting template , all will be up tommorow.
Did you completely read the comments . I've contacted DO they've told me as long as their logo ( the cloud ) isnt there in the *image* ( not images to be precise ) they are ok with it

Being 18 means nothing in business. It's rough and it's tough. If you want to do this as a hobby give your services away for free.
After you were called out on it. If nobody would have pointed it out you never would have contacted DigitalOcean. I still doubt that they gave you permission for something they paid someone else to design but I don't care enough to ask them myself.Did you completely read the comments .

Let's start out by saying that you were the one who bumped this thread and are the same person who is still doing the same shit over and over again. I had mostly forgotten about you until it popped back up. The main problem I have with you is the same problem I would have with any person who exhibited the same traits: you lie, steal and hide behind your age.Yea if Zuckerberg would've thought that maybe facebook would just be a social network (ITS NOW A BUSINESS PLATFORM cum Social Network ) I did lack *paper work * experience that doesn't mean I lack *experience in hardware & networking & ability to trouble shoot unix*
I don't know what you've got against me but the company turns 1 year old in a few months and its not my hobby I'll definitely get to perfect point where I can provide performance and price in the same level
I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you for taking time for a "LAZY BASTARD HOST" I will strive to become a reputable provider in near future.
Have a great day
Excuse me (YOU LIE YOU STEAL YOU HIDE BEHIND YOUR AGE )After you were called out on it. If nobody would have pointed it out you never would have contacted DigitalOcean.

I think you should also re-look your Facebook analogy. Mark Z didn't set up Facebook willy nilly, he was a very shrewd business man and alienated a lot of people being cold faced to get to where he is. You should actually watch the movie you're on about, The Social Network. While it's exaggerated, it'll show you that Facebook wasn't born of an accident.
It's nobodies fault but your own you entered the market without sufficient experience. You should have learned about it before hand or hired someone to do it for you.
You'll never be reputable until you change your ways rather than cover shit up when people call you out. Your fundamental business ethics are flawed.
Again, business is not understanding and forgiving. If I saw you walking down the street I wouldn't have a problem with you. You're not prospectively trying to charge me money then though.
What's harsher: my words or a lawsuit? Even in a case with little legal basis they can construct a case against you that's too costly and time consuming to defend.
Like others, I suggested in an older thread at the other forum to get a qualified editor or native English speaker to review the site. Aside from the slightly awkward sentences, I could see (at a glance, not looking closely) 5 punctuation/grammatical errors on the front page and 1 spelling error in the AUP.
https://vpsraid.com/ (no www) directs to a "Client Portal" page with a warning that "the certificate does not match the expected identity of the site that it was retrieved from."
I hope permission was obtained to use the current policy documents on the site. For example ...
Refund Policy:

However, your stance that it is an acceptable practice to copy large sections of other sites without requesting permission (or better yet, you could consider getting legal service to draft something suitable for your company) is enough of a turn-off. The lack of attention to detail also doesn't inspire confidence in this company's services.
