after @bdspice statement it is now crystal clear. it is ftp storage and this is by design not public for everyone.
Well then, it's time
This thread shows how much was community deprived from good drama. Holy shit, so much discussion about nothing. Everything is resolved, the horse is dead but kicking continue. Relentless.
I was asked directly about our company's policy regarding porn and gay content. I do not despise the West, it is impossible to despise something like the Earth.
I despise some people in the West and Russia and in other countries.
but the audience is still expecting some kind of follow-up! @CharityHost_org has demonstrably acted at least dubiously here. @CharityHost_org reputation has rightly been damaged.
Well the main drama going on right now is @CharityHost_org taking a look at it's customers files, citing "adult content" reasons
True!
I despise some people in the West and Russia and in other countries.
no matter who you despise or not, probably very few people in this thread are interested in that either. if you let yourself be distracted by questions that have no place in the thread... well... you could also clarify it directly with the person asking. this is not about gay stuff but about something else.
Or maybe not intentionally?
https://charityhost.org/ftp-storage/ says:
As a bonus, make your backups accessible by everyone.
Well, yes. And now he has no trust. Business is damaged, possible abortion. Time to look for another provider. Simple.
Actually Expected results: banned or provider tag suspended.
The forums have their own atmosphere, and it is not as strict as you claim. Sometimes I get really involved in the flame. I generally agree with you that it would be better if we followed the topic theme.
Never happen. If one had 22k stolen and still is able to advertise his business here.
It's not gonna happen if they keep paying
🤷 🤷
I dont understand why it’s matter for a ftp account where domain is invalid (ftp.username.com). Yes i did store on public folder because its a ftp account which can't accessible from web.
petition to introduce a new snoopy avatar for such provider
This will actually increase visibility and will generate more sales for bogus provider.
You had a strong case but lost it here.
The snooping allegation won't be appropriate against CH now in my opinion. It was in public folder so regardless of whether domain name was valid or invalid, it does gives room to the provider to poke his nose.
Either way imo the "we will make an exception for you" followed by the $25 is a red flag.
How lucky of OP to win a prize and get given an exception for a $25 fee that could definitely be free, and they also call themselves Charity Host. It is a bit funny isn't it.
And the snooping bit is the icing on the top. "Have some free storage lucky winner but let's see what's in it plz"
Public folder isnt public until its not accessible from public web
What even is this bizarre shit? It's private ftp storage, what public folder? It's like watching a french speaker and a spanish speaker communicate in german.
This is has been my point asking a few question, I had been expecting maybe they reply with it is a shared server between hosting and FTP storage which would have made the entire story worse if they are running the FTP backup service and shared hosting on a single service.
I would not think it alters the case since if you sign up to a service that states FTP storage you would not expect it to include a port 80/443 web service by defintion
CH have really need to stop, learn and review everything, even asking chatgpt a few questions would help them fix their issues instead of feeling they know everything and have unfiltered access to anything without permission.
What if a person had a personal medical report and stored it on a "secure FTP storage" for backup, and called it "document" as a default that MS word does if you do not set the name yourself, if the provider decides what is in that document they have no right unless
a)CSAM flag/report
b)malware flag by software such as imunify or others
c)direct report of abuse within the account
none of these apply, it feel more a chancer trying to extract money from a customer on a free account.
What would happen if the customer filed a complain with the trading standards or the equal to in that state, this company could be heavily fined at the least
Interesting event.
I had recently signed up at CharityHost to get storage but I am so glad I didn't go through with it and have now requested account deletion.
FTP storage is just that storage it shouldn't be publicly available and if it is then that's a configuration error which should have been addressed rather than the situation that has occurred.
Seems pretty clear that they snoop around files so I would also assume they snoop around emails so that's a big red flag for me.
Special tag for the group of providers holding people's Linux ISO collection hostage:
Fapstinence Collective.it is better not to enter into a business relationship with this provider!
before have read so many about free hosting, they give you free but they get into your account and steal your script or something. now this is really happening.
even worse that this hosting is provide pay hosting service. just coincidence the one he try to "extorted" is the free one that win the free give away and he speak up to the forum.
i really hope there are no other providers like this.
Yes. But ChairtyHost is very cleverly promoting that package as shared hosting in order to put that criteria so that they can call it "public".
What they are doing is very dishonest and taking advantages of narratives.
There may be people here who are customers of CharityHost and they should be made aware of how dishonest their provider is.
over 22 pages of evidence have been collected that @CharityHost_org is running a shady business. now consequences are expected
what consequences
In my experience, if someone claims to be charity they generally aren’t and will fuck you over.
