Confidence? Damn right!

This blog is imbued with "ada-quada-quacity", strives to be most oxymoronic, and ultimately of high opinion!

Who owns Purehost.com ?

We think it might now be CrystalHost or CrystalHosting.com

Companies owned by Crystalhost

So now you ask, "Who cares, and why are they all in one list?". The Answer: Because their Backup & Restore policies are IDENTICAL - which is fine, but unless they are violating copyright laws through rampant plagiarizing - unlikely - then they are (and in fact are) all one corporate umbrella. But the policy?

Answer:

"

Backup / Restore

  1. WhomeverIsInTheAboveList.com does not maintain backup copies of Customer Web sites or e-mail.
  2. WhomeverIsInTheAboveList.com cannot guarantee that the contents of a Web site will never be deleted or corrupted, or that a backup of a Web site will always be available.
  3. We ALWAYS recommend that Customers copy all content of a Web site to a local computer and strongly suggest that Customers make an additional copy (on tape, CD, multiple floppies, another desktop, or elsewhere) to ensure the availability of the files."

Identical, as in all other parts of any one of these companies' agreements. Also identical is engineering, Level 1 2 and 3 Tier support personnel and companies - all shifts. 1st shift is outsourced to India (what a surprise), 2nd shift is outsourced to a company in California, and 3rd shift happens to be handled by Purehost.com itself - for all of these companies - the corporate alliances have changed a bit from whence cam PureHost via SprintHost via DellHost (remember that nightmare?)

Now, this moron (I'll call him/her "It" for now) is actually getting into the spirit of "How Dare You?", and I'm lovin' it. But, I'm only leaving Its "comment" up until Google closes Its account.

I would like to be able to edit my own comment, and add headers/intros or footers to other people's comments - that would clean things up nicely.\
The definition of menses is actually a length of time for the menstrual cycle, not a food source. This reminds me of the debate of the Star Wars 4 dialogue when Han Solo proclaims his ship made a measure of time when actually using a measure of distance; as in the parsec.

das: Did you ever wonder that your boss and Level 3 might be looking at your crap, too? Do you think they don't know who "das" is?

All I did here was dispute the boiler-plate approach to the web business and the policy of web site backups, a policy not followed by MOST Web Hosting companies. You should know this, as you work for PureHost.

Oh, das, btw yes, having a blog in fact does mean that I can say anything on it: as long as it is not violating U.S. libel law. Nothing I have published does this. As Google is a US company, Google must abide by Supreme Court ruling for blogs and bloggers' publishing rights. Your clever use of profanity is what will guarantee your account closure, so if I were you, I would refrain from its usage, or at least put an advisory disclaimer at the head of your comments. Oh, and I will pay for your trip out here to "kick my ass", all you have to do is make your profile public.
