Yeah..... long story short...

Month ago someone e-mails me the paris hilton video clip. I uploaded it to my server (hidden - not public). Passed the link to a friend or two. They e-mail it to a friend or two. They e-mail it to a friend or two.... maybe post it on some forums.... you get the picture. Well, I forget about it and left it on my server.... 2 million hits later I've occupied 954 GIG's of bandwidth for the month of November (I purchased 10gig/mo). My host never contacted me or anything. They never even shut my site down after I exceeded the contracted limit either. So yesterday I see the website is down, I call them. They say I owe $4660.00 in bandwidth charges for the month of Nov. That number doesn't even include Dec (up until yesterday).

Merry phucking Christmas huh.

Holy ****! that sucks, but you are the man for hosting that. I will mail you my for watching it.

There goes Tara christmas present out th window. Return that ASP and use it to help pay for the bandwidth. She will not mind.

 

Get a lawyer, fast!

 

Technology is the devil!

Why don't you try to recoup some of your losses by selling T-shirts that say: Paris Hilton Phucked Me

 

I'd buy one of those shirts for sure.

I didn't get the goddamned link boohoo.

dude that blows

 

Have you checked your contract to see if there is a clause that protects you from overages? you paying for 10 gigs and hitting 954 gigs is ridiculous. They should have cut you off long before.

Have you thought about having a 'lawyer' call them and very politely request a copy of your contract as this seems excessive.....

Just a thought. Have someone that sounds professional and can talk the talk, they may back off.

good luck.

wish I got the link

Bri

Ill buy ya a couple beers tonight

Seriouly dude that ****in blows. I'll buy you a few beahs too. Then you give the money you'd have spent on them to Tara and she can getr your fund going!!! Or I could just give her the money and you buy your own beahs. I make no sense today Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I'm having a birffday Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy

 

buy me some beers, i didnt even get to see the video and it was on my own effing website!!

 

I run a hosting business and I know alot of companies that do this. See they will charge you by the gigabyte a fee if you go over so they set it up to not notify you so they can charge you. I have my hosting business setup different. Once a customer goes over their limit the site is shutdown till they request to buy more bandwidth. I try to be fair but he got you good I guess. Sucks man.

 

Dont pay it....who cares.
I sure wouldnt pay it

Do you have to pay it? What happens if you dont?

 

that sucks so hard id send money but im poor

 

It's time for me to be the official dick in this thread. That company had no obligation to tell Brian anything because the bandwidth policy is defined on the terms he agreed to. On mine, I know that they will bill me $10 for each gig of exceeded bandwidth. Best example I can think of is cell phone companies. Do you get notified if you go over you alloted minutes? No, it's your responsibility to check that. Same applies here.

I do wonder about one thing: why didn't you ever check your logs?

Get a lawyer 'cuz you'll definitely need one. Good luck with it.
