QUESTION

The ISP and the Web Developer

'ISP X' is the Internet Service Provider that operates in a particular country. A web developer is using this ISP to host a web site for him. As part of the package, which is quite expensive (€440 approximately), the developer is getting 30 MB webspace, a domain name, and limited technical support.

The first problem arises when there is a delay of 3-4 weeks in setting up the account. After several phone calls and e-mails to ISP X, the developer eventually is able to access the sever account and upload the web site. At this stage the client of the web developer, the person for whom the web developer is actually working for, is rather upset at the delay in setting up the website.

Although the developer explains that he had previously cancelled this account, he continues to receive bills in the post for the next year asking him to have the account renewed.

Eventually, a THIRD company buy out the second, and the account is finally shut down and the bill for renewal scrapped. Almost two years have elapsed. The developer never uses this service again, and has nothing but bad things to say about all of the companies in
