Hello
People beware of web hosting company called www.canaca.com

This company is managed by a bunch of thieves.

It offers an alleged excellent offer to seduce you: (10 GB web space, 200 GB montly bandwidth, 3.95 $ per month)
Sound good?
Nope, once you're there you're busted.

First they tell you when oredering that they need your phone number to call you for confirmation. And here come the first tide:
You'll receive this e-mail from canaca.com:

Now after taking your money, it's you who should call them.

It's Ok, let's continue:

They said that the call is free, and here's come the second tide:
THE CALL IS NOT FREE


Once YOU call and confirm, you need to send a dozen of begging e-mails to receive your login.

It's OK. You'll wait 1 week to receive your username and password.

The first week of hosting is great and everything is going fine. But once 10 days pass, your site will stop working, it will cease to exist. You can neither upload nor download, and you'll recieve a new e-mail, so prepare yourself for a third tide:



My goodness!!! Where's the 200 GB promised???
Whatever your explanation is, you'll receive this e-mail:

See guys, I can only use 10 % of my 200 GB.
My 200 GB dropped to 20 GB monthly.
And notice: http://canaca.com/contract.html
This page is hidden when you place your order. It only appears when they drop your 200 GB to 20 GB.
So you need now to accept the new rules, otherwise the hosting will be canceled and you can say goodbye to your money.

What is funny, is that on their home page, they said "30 days money back gurantee if you're not satisfied..."
Well this is a big lie. You'll never get your money back.
Jusr read the hidden page: http://canaca.com/contract.html:


So dream not of some money back.

Now, if you send more e-mails to protest and asking when your IP will be unblocked, you'll be punished and you'll receive this e-mail:




So now I lost my money, my bandwitdh dropped to 20 GB and I am punished for at least 4 days.
I don't know what is waiting for me in the next few days.
Don't worry, I'll let you know.

Meanwhile, please warn your friends:

BEWARE OF THESE THIEVES AT WWW.CANACA.COM

I had a similar problem

That would have been the first clue it was a scam. The saying has never died and will be alive for years to come:

"If it's to good to be true, it probably is"

hahahahahaha...

I'm trying to set up web hosting at x10hosting.com. My signup failed at step 2, so my site is up and running (zxian.x10hosting.com), but I don't have access.

Soon though... soon.

Check it out - X10 Hosting

Free hosting... needs a banner, but that's not that big of a deal... it's free, no?

Just been checking their site out! what a scream.

they even ofer a dial up internet access at http://acanac.com/Dialup.htm.

Note the slight change in Company name.

It says that one of the perks of their dial up package is the ability to send 50Mb attachments! over a 56k dial up!. LOL

And the website, sheesh that template has been doing the rounds for ages.

A misplaced or unexpected banner can easily mess up a well coded page in my opinion. I prefer 4uhost.info. No banners at all plus great service & plans.

So the 200 GB shall have been 20 . 0 GB!

Sounds like that host loves to act like malware!

This might be piling onto it but...



Oh look! it's even more good to be true! It now says:



As for hosting however, why not host yourself and not worry about advertising?

I have been a canaca customer for a long time. Recently I wanted to upgrade my plan and figured that they would have billed me correctly before with my Bronze 12 month.

Turns out that even though the listed USD$4.95 * 12 for 12 months, plan, they also converted it to CAD for me at a rate of 1.2 (the rate is 1.07 at the time of the credit card transaction).

When I asked their sales, they said their contract says it's a converstion rate of 1.2. Nowhere in their contract on their terms of use listed 1.2.

I am going to contact Better business bureau if they don't fix this up. I don't know how many Canaca customers are being ripped off out there.
