Thanks
for eWebGuru.com

I am soo confused what to do. Am trying to contact my web-host now.

I get daily visitor of 3000+ on Wordpress Stats and 1100 Unique Visitors a day. And now i got this email. This is tiny website according to stats

[narangz]

Strange!

Ravi might know something about this. Are you sure it's not fake?

Or is it that it exceeded bandwidth?

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

no its not fake as such... i got this email from eWebguru.

The email id is something like this

ewebguru.com@gmail.com

May be you are right its a fake mail

[narangz]

They won't send from gmail. I bet

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

yeah sucks. i don't exceed the bandwidth given to me.. that is 20 GB so why should i get this email from my host.

let me verify.. also stupid email id
ewebguru.com@gmail dot com
it should be ewebguru @ gmail dot com

[Pathik]

Ewebguru is Ashok's site. Whose hosting are you using?

Ewebguru is Ashok's site. Whose hosting are you using?
And no web hosting provider would use a gmail id. Seems Fake

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

Pathik >> Right Ashok's site only. I mean Ashok's hosting, Ashok's server.

he should be informed about this anyway.. LOL !!

[narangz]

Yes it's fake. However it seems very strange. They haven't asked for any personal info. So what could be the purpose?

[Pathik]

Then contact him first, dude.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

tried on yahoo messenger .. he is away. Will call him up tomorrow morning on phone.

[Cyrus_the_virus]

Lol, yeah it's fake, seems like some other desperate host is trying to take away his business.

[narangz]

^^Then he should've provided a link

I meant like make the host loose his customers and negative publicity, not like they might be trying to catch, and yeah, if it was that way, they should have given some other link.

[narangz]

Negative publicity- Yes! He might loose some valuable customers. Akshayy contact the provides ASAP. He might loose his business.

[praka123]

what is this?some hidden war b/w hosting ppl? I am sure someone purposefully did this

[QwertyManiac]

Sorta viral marketing? Scare, spread FUD and win.

Of course, it cant be his own work. Well, unless you really are using too much CPU. The hits stats you have said are quite high, shared hosting?

You can make things more efficient if the host keeps complaining. I've had to do that once in a while.

[ArZuNeOs]

Gee thanks for the info Akshay .....

BTW what an Abhorable technique

[Cyrus_the_virus]

@akshay, have you contacted the host? What did they say about it?

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

he is not taking the yahoo call yet !!
have to call him on phone.. but this part i hate.
may be i will mail him.

[phreak0ut]

drgrudge site had gone due to heavey load I think this post is fake. Try contacting him first. Losing business because some other loser rival is not good.

[narangz]

^^ drgrudge's site?? Couldn't get you.

[naveen_reloaded]

thats why i love blogger.com

u know a good template from eblogtemplate.com and a good editing of the template and few modding .. gets u better blog than anything..

actually i run both blogger and wordpress( x10hosting ) and i p.s like blogger for simplicity and robust... bring in whtever traffic u want and it stays there...

so try to switch to blogger.... just a advice..

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

I verified !!

ITS NOT FAKE.

I REPEAT ITS NOT FAKE.

Warning is: I should reduce site load. Else am done for.
I should not use lots of wp-plugins. is the idea given by the host.

[narangz]

Site load? May I know what exactly does it mean?

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

Its not the bandwidth.

Its the server load, whenever some visits a php website, it has to preprocessed by php and it loads the server.

Also soo many plugins, all in php that much of load. every refresh means again load. that way.

AND SOMETHING like that. Also Javascript should be executed on JVM i think so.

[narangz]

Yes, I understood that. But it's strange, I guess.

nope it doesnt need JVM.

remove the extra plugins too, they takes a hell lot of time to load
, dont sacrifice performance for UI
Btw how much bandwidth limit is in your hosting ?

I still don't get the email part, why would they send you something from an email address like ewebguru.com@gmail.com???? when they have their own domain and can send you emails from anything@webguru.com?

Why do I smell something fishy here?

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

My bandwidth is 20GB
I use up almost 16GB This month.

Sparing 4 GB.

Next month it will go to 17-18
Then 20. The End of it.....
have to think. will do after the exams.
