This company known as "GhostNodes" has had hours and hours of downtime and customers are not happy as there is only one person that can fix the issue. The owner has admitted to using pirated WHMCS even saying "I looked up free WHMCS and used that", and is now banning people who ask for a refund because of the downtime. They are using $3/mo "Unlimited" cPanel Hosting from SparkedHost. There node IP leads back to a Verizon FIOS equipped home or business in New York. When they reinstalled panel, they didn't take any measures from keeping it safe to set it up which allowed for someone to just set up their panel with their own information.

Brief look over their site: [upl-image-preview uuid=84ea63ce-90ad-46da-97cf-85c71fe4b587 url=https://drama.gg/assets/files/2025-02-19/1740005010-359490-image.png alt={TEXT?}] [upl-image-preview uuid=10c14c0c-0344-412c-88f5-dad76558255b url=https://drama.gg/assets/files/2025-02-19/1740005035-377858-image.png alt={TEXT?}] Billing site doesn't seem to exist rn. Ignoring the fact their terms of service is a google doc, "**Refunds are subject to our Refund Policy, available on our website, and are in line with the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015. "** From a brief look on their home page, i can only find a Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Terms of service goes to a google doc, privacy points to their discord link??? No Legal Documents tag would fit better than Exploits.

@"gamer3514"#p3230 Person taken it just because "i didint know you wasnt allowed to use shared whmcs". UK Consumer Rights Acts but with a .us tld. Pretty sure only U.S. entities can register .US domains. Wonder how they pulled that off.

Update: They are also telling clients to pay invoices via PayPal Friends & Family. Most of the clients are young children who don't know exactly what they are doing. Of course, it's the clients fault for paying with friends & family but it's still bad business practices. The owner operates under the persona "Callum B" but their PayPal reveals the name "Tayla Evans". I don't have proper validation for the second screenshot as they do not send Ticket Transcripts.

Oh yeah I asked for a refund and they refused it then suspended my services.

Hi everyone, Braiden here! I've been keeping an eye on things with GhostNode, and their safety protocols have gone right out the window. I was able to access their panel numerous times, both prior to the panel update and afterward, which is cause for serious security issues. Furthermore, customers have been told they will not receive a refund for the downtime. @"notbob_49208"#284 requested one because they needed their server online, but GhostNode refused, stating the refund time limit had expired. Rather than assist, they closed the ticket and banned them. Honestly, I’d recommend looking elsewhere for hosting. From what I’ve discovered, they’re home-hosting their servers, which explains a lot. Looks like summerhosts are arriving early this year!

If you look at the downtime stats, you’ll see that most of the time, our services have been up without issue. The problem yesterday was a tough one to fix, especially with our investor involved. As we’ve said, we’ve been working non-stop to get everything back online and working properly. You logged into the panel because it was just set up, and then you broke the rules. Honestly, I didn’t know shared keys weren’t allowed—it’s clearly stated, multiple times, im not going to lie on that hence why i took whmcs down and looking for a alternative Big PEEP: this is your account, and what’s happened is on you. But instead of owning that, you’ve been throwing insults, acting racist, and threatening to DDoS the whole thing. All of that is just making me more determined to keep doing what I do best: providing a service and fixing problems. I know it’s easy to jump to conclusions and think we’re scamming, but you don’t know us. We’re working hard behind the scenes to get everyone’s servers back up, and we’re not going anywhere. Yeah, it sucks that you lost out on some time, but I’m not sorry. If you keep throwing negativity our way, it’s only going to hurt you in the end. We’re here to help, but we need you to meet us halfway. If you want to have a real conversation and work through this, we’re all for it. But keep being hostile, and we’ll have no choice but to stop offering support.

@"smh"#p3239 Its not on me your being the WORST hosting ive EVER used.

@"smh"#p3239 I'm not big peep, I'm just someone looking out

@"Frosty999"#p3242 FR im big peep if you had at least 5 brain cells.

Frosty999 FR im big peep if you had at least 5 brain cells.

smh

notbob_49208 what problems did you have check our uptime for god sake.
https://status.ghostnode.us

notbob_49208

smh Look how many dislikes your getting. Your that bad. And you refused my refund and were very very disrespectful.

Anthony

smh I already have a problem and I don’t even use your services. You home host.

Braiden H.

smh Hey Callum, Me and other people have given you chances to help fix your stuff and get an WHMCS key. But you did not take that chances, You have been reported to WHMCS and also the theme you desided to steal aswell. Hope this helps

Frosty999

smh Didn’t it seem obviously suspicious when you found out how much WHMCS cost and then to find someone who has it for free? No, this is the equivalent of finding a 2023 Honda Civic from your local Honda dealer for $31,000. Not wanting to pay that price, you find someone that has 2023 Honda Civic on Facebook Marketplace for only 1000 dollars. Doesn’t it show that something is off when that WHMCS source is from a website that ain’t WHMCS themselves or a reseller.

Frosty999

notbob_49208

Here’s is an update. I requested a refund from ghostnodes witch they denied. I then looked in there own TOS witch says to look in the Refund Policy document on there website. When I look for it it is no where to be seen on there website. I then messaged the owner on discord and got the following response

Well I guess they shut down because none of there invite links work anymore. The next steps will be a lawsuit aganst the owner for my Refund.

notbob_49208

notbob_49208 sorry I forgot to mention i never threated to DDoS and I never said anything racist he’s just trying to get us in trouble.

smh

notbob_49208 yes you did we have proof, like we stated it was past your period you, you broke our rules, your got banned and shit taken away from you.

You started this I’ve ended this goodbye.

Braiden H.

smh What the funny thing is that you now scammed him via PayPal F&F. Why are you trying to defend yourself already gone for “company”. Here me out, just shut your mouth. Also, the sad thing is that you don’t give out ticket transcripts. I’d refund the kid if I was you.

Frosty999

smh Once PayPal sees all the proof of you saying to send it through F&F then your really going to be needing to borrow money. It just seems like your desperate for money and don’t care about the customer.

smh

and yes we had a tos your just to blind to see it your just salty asf

Braiden H.

smh That “TOS” you have is not legally binding… I’d maybe have a legal expert to work on your TOS and other stuff…

notbob_49208

smh I saw the TOS I did not see your Refund Policy dip shit.

old

notbob_49208 This depends on the jurisdiction but in most places a refund policy isn’t legally required and to my knowledge would just mean that refunds aren’t specifically provided - that’s just from my knowledge though so feel free to fact check that

old

Why not just dispute the payment by the way?

Apologizes if I missed something

Braiden H.

old physically then his PayPal account would get locked because his only options are if someone else made the purchase because it was made under friends and family.

old

Braiden H. Ah F&F, I see

Braiden H.

old yeah as soon as I heard, they made him pay that way I was kind of pissed. That is honestly the first red flag. You should see in a company.

notbob_49208

Braiden H. OH by the way GhostNodes is not a registered company in the UK. I looked through gov.uk and could not find it.
