Aqns Hosting: You Suck!
Hi guys,
As you might have noticed, my blog was down for the last couple of days. For some weird reason, my former hosting Aqns-hosting.com felt like terminating my account without any notice and they did - so I was as shocked as you (and even more!) when a “Account suspended” page displayed on the screen while trying to access my blog. And before you ask, no, I wasn’t doing anything illegal or infringed their TOS in any way. They simply told me that they weren’t offering free hosting anymore so they took my blog down. No “We’re sorry” email. No “Please backup your files. Your account will be terminated in 24 hours” notice. Nothing.
Luckily, I’ve always keep a fresh backup of my site with me so my loss wasn’t that huge at all. However, I did lost some comments and a post: the very same one where I announced the winners of my competition :S Hopefully, I’ll be able to retrieve that list and republish it tonight so keep your eyes open 
I’m still fixing a few things on my blog so it’ll take me at least a few hours to resume my normal activities here.
BTW, Aqns-hosting.com: YOU SUCK!

Beware of free hosting!
so what’s your current host?
My submit entry in the post contest was gone 
(although I don’t know that if I’ll win hehe)
If you offer full feed then we can retrive the winner list unfortunately, it’s just patial feed

@Ali: You have no idea. It’s damn frustrating! Fortunately, I’m back on track again
@SE7EN: I’m hosting my blog with iWhic.com. I’ve heard many good reviews about them at Digital Point so I decided to give them a try.
Yeah, some entries were lost along the post where I announced the winners (damn you, Aqns-hosting! :@) However, I believe I still have a copy of the list back at home. Let’s hope is still there, otherwise I’ll have to re-draw a new list :S (and you’d be in, of course!)

Hey Ikki,
I know the complete story and am with you in any case you need me. Free hosts suck big time

Wow, AQNS must really suck. You’ve told me about your problems with them. Hope everything is all right and in working order now.
Will advise anyone to steer clear of AQNS in the future.

@Swastik: Thanks
@Wong: Fortunately, I was able to recover most of my posts and stuff I lost a few comments, one post and of course traffic But hey, I’m confident that I’ll be able to recover from this hit and continue to make this blog a good place to my visitors :)

when i had a small reseller from them last year, they were down at least 10 times a day! and i know whose hosting it is because these fags are in my msn. one is a skinny chinese loser and other is paki and these guys dont know how to run a company at all. and they will delete ur files without notice or anything.
