Got a message today...my subscription has been activated 

Hope things go well for you guys too 

I rang the 2 numbers... The first number although the guy was helpful as he could be, he did not know anything about freepgs. I did ask if lvcs was experiencing any problems and he said no. The 2nd number redirected me to a call centre in the Philippines, again they did not know anything about freepgs or lvcs legacy.

At time of posting I have not received any responses to emails or the support ticket.

I have started the process with PayPal to get my money back.

If freepgs do come back with some responses I will of course be happy to renew my subscription again.

It's only speculation, but all I can think of is that something has happened to the owner...been in an accident, sort of hope not  .

I get the same message now when I try and view my site. When I logged in via plesk it says ...
Warning: Subscription was suspended. All your sites are not available.

It was working until today 31st December, I think the suspension is automated.

Some other things I noticed that may or may not be relevant, but at the end of November/December (can't remember exactly when) this forum was down for a while and also the automated emails we get were coming in to me out of sync e.g 20th, next day 12th etc.

passtheword, Do you get your subscription emails via your site email or yahoo etc. For me it's a yahoo address and I use thunderbird to retrieve them. I did find that when I logged in via a browser to my yahoo account some of the emails where ending up in the spam folder.

Also just out of interest, are you on the EU server as well? or a different one?

If I don't hear anything by Friday I might try some of the LVCS numbers on their sites and see if they can shed any light on the subject;
store.lvcs.net/contact-us  USA (480) 624-2500 [GMT -7]
lvcs.net Toll Free Support: USA 888-299-0431 [GMT -5 or 7?]

Hi, I've paid for another years subscription, but have not received any confirmation of this like I normally do. I have submitted a ticket at the help desk and emailed to all the @freepgs and @lvcs.net accounts that I know, but have still not got a reply.

There is only one day left now, please can some one respond.

Paid via paypal on the 18th December,

Server: EU
Username: nightfire-clan-forum

This is sad news though understandable. Does this mean that Freepgs is slowly going to be wound down?

From the topic posted earlier this year on the same subject, http://forum.freepgs.com/index.php?topic=2084.0, the task looked quite daunting to me; getting the balance between keeping things running for competent web-masters against, almost a parental role, on the users that are leaving their sites open to malicious misuse.

Personally I would really hate to see Freepgs go, I have been here almost since the beginning you guys have always gone above and beyond on the level of service that you provide.

$10 per year is a fair amount
&/or I would be willing to pay a tiered amount based on usage

$10 per year would still very good for what we get and if that is still is not enough to cover all the costs I would be happy to pay based on usage. To be honest the $3 a year was ridiculously cheap.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll ask admin for it.

Hi I was wondering there are any problems with email being sent via PHP mail? as I haven't received any emails since Tuesday now. It's for things like mail sent automatically by PHPBB2 forums etc.

I have the same problem. It hasn't been working since at least 30th June 08:00AM GMT when I got my last e-mail sent via freepgs.

Hello,
         I like the new sub domains, but not the way they where handled. It will not effect the smaller sites much but for sites like yours it could be devastating. I would think they used a 301 redirect for your site and if so it won't effect your page rank, at least not in the long run once the search engines have sorted out the new urls. For your other accounts I feel for you as I know how hard it is running a site and keeping on top of things.
