Now they say 'oh, we can't send the welcome and login details until after the weekend' completely reversing what they said minutes before. scam? I think so. I"m out $67 and a domain. not to mention waste of time and money since I'm not getting my work done.

What if they came on here and called you a liar and said you are misleading? Thats what arielhost is doing to me. Arielhost sucks.

File a complaint with consumer internet fraud. Atleast they are not on here calling you a liar like arielhost does.

We don't have to worry about it. Readers can judge fairly enough whose liar by read the complaint and what the hosting provider said.

If the provider was a liar then they will get additional complain from other users, but just make sure that you don't have to fake it by registering as other user. This won't work (if the forum have a clever mod of course

) .

Hellokitty, make sure you checked your bulk or disable your SPAM/Email filtering. Just to make sure that there's no reply from them that caught in it.
Then you can do what drewg told you or you can contact your credit card publisher.
