Well I guess my last post finaly moved the people at Sonnex to respond to my email. This is the response I got:

Dear David Anderson.

Thank you for your email. Josue Salazar is no more the owner of SonneX Hosting (www.sonnexh.com). I have taken over the company and redesigning the entire site and the forum.

Please contact Josue Salazar at josue.salazar@gmail.com directly to resolve any matter with him.

Thanks and regards

How about that for passing the buck? Well there is only one problem with that. Josue Salazar may have been the agent who sold my client and I our accounts with Sonnex, but we were hosted by Sonnex Hosting, Not Josue Salazar hosting. I don't know what Country Mr. Singh lives in, but in Costa Rica, Sonnex is responsible for the theft of our money, and Sonnex (regardless of who the owners are), is responsible for resolving the issue. Passing the buck is not acceptable. So, Mr. Singh, I am open to having a discussion as to how you can resolve this.

This weekend I have been doing some tweaks on my Blog. I admit I am not very good at it. HTML and the mysteries of CSS are just a bit too much for me. My Web Designer Rogue has been working on some things for her, and has not been spending too much time at her computer. As a friend and someone I love, I have not bothered her with anything, choosing to respect her need to do her own thing. In making my little tweaks I have often had to deal with fits of anger and frustration, knowing that the previous incarnation of ISOU was like a child to me, one I had watched grow, fed, nurtured and loved...

You all know the story of how I trusted Josue Salazar, a fellow blogger and owner of a hosting company, to move my site back in March of this year, and how he and his hosting company, Sonnex Hosting stole my money and allowed the site to be completely deleted from the servers of the hosting company they subcontracted with.
I have read over the last six months of various bloggers being abused by hosting companies, but I have never read of one stealing the money of a client. My advice to anyone looking for a host... Check out your host carefully. Make sure they have been in business for a number of years before contracting with them. And NEVER host with Sonnex!

I have been emailing them for three months. Josue hides behind his sister or his girlfriend, and wont answer his phone, and they dont answer their gmail. He also stole $300 from a client of mine who on my word agreed to host with them.

Well it has and continues to be a rough road to recovery. I spend hours scouring Google's cache, trying to retrieve lost post. I have lost hundreds of trackback links, and due to being down for over a month, many regular readers. It is bad enough to steal someone's money. It is another issue altogether to kill someone's virtual child. Imagine losing something you have invested almost two years of your life in...
