An amusing BuyVM Rip
Hey guys,
Another BuyVM rip, but with a twist!
https://www.networkbastard.com
Another host with serious thought into their name.
I wonder what their sister company is
Comments
No offense to BuyVM, especially since it's kind of their thing now... but why the hell would ANYONE rip that site? It looks straight out of 1999.
I like the name.
Its not a rip, more inspired.
Francisco
Their suck bastards!
http://www.networkbastard.com/client/index.php?licensedebug
http://www.networkbastard.com/client/?licensedebug does not work either.
(edit) too slow
Those bastards.
My eyes.
Nice, quick page loads though: http://lo9.in/
It was in my site comments today, concidence or what?
I think I've said this before but..
It's called rows and columns.
No one gets to say they came up with that.

No coincidence
Looks like there servers are located @ Serverguru's..
From their TOS:
90%!
They also only seem to cover shared hosting in their TOS.
Maybe the tables look similar but I would not consider it a rip- unless you look at the css probably and it contains some css codes from Fran's site.
Not sure if their TOS are trolling or if they are really that dumb
@joepie91 @gsrdgrdghd
It's probably taken straight from Volumedrive ToS.

It's a valid term, just one of the more amusing ones
You've seriously never seen or heard the term "Act of God" in legal terms?
(12 months) - (90% of (12 months)) = 36.5242199 days
So they can have over an entire month of downtime.

I'm shocked.
Seems they heard us.
"We are very sorry, the site is currently under construction."
First of all, I apologize if my site seems copying somebody else site. It's my own code, I don't even a good coder, I know.
The site is mine, I have a reseller account at Hostmantis (shared) and VPS6.net (vps), at first I use the account for hosting my own blog. Now, it's also used for few blogs that owned by my own friends who ask me some help to install WordPress, not "real customers", just couple of friends' blog. Yes, I've once tried to offer on WHT, but no luck. Also on my local community forum, only one client from there. The only client I have.
About the lay-out, I admit it was inspired by @Francisco's design, but I'm nowhere of copying his work. If anyone, especially Fran feel it has something in common and it's annoying, I'd be happy to change the layout. I put the site into maintenance now.
Thanks for bring this thing up, @ElliotJ. It's really a valuable lesson for me.
The biggest issue IMO isn't your code, but your color scheme. Red on black doesn't work very well.
EDIT: And your TOS needs some work...
@joepie91 Thanks.
@Andri: how about the nulled WHMCS?
And...Already down
@vld Oh yes, I forgot to explain about this, I bought it from someone from my local forum on Feb this year, it was very cheap, he said it's something like reseller price, etc. My bad didn't look further into it. Actually about a week ago, someone already told me that my license is fake, but my bad didn't remove it asap.
I'm sending my client an email, and backup his detail just now. The WHMCS will removed in couple minute. Since it's only single client, I'm thinking about temporary contacting him by email untill I finished installing BoxBilling.
Thanks again. Another lesson learned.

You really shouldn't do a word-by-word translation into your own language ;-)
aww man.. I don't get to show this site to anyone anymore... The plan names were actually quite clever imo.
I'm not a native english speaker nor do i live in an english speaking country, so i just translated it literally
