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.

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.

GhostNodes | Nulled WHMCS | Hours of Downtime | Exposed Panel

Anthony

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

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.

Braiden H.

notbob_49208 Yep. Sounds bout right, thats about all “summerhost” company’s.

Since they are in there “testing phase”

"Step 3: Install Nulled WHMCS
You’re currently in the “testing phase”, which means you have an excuse for using a nulled copy of WHMCS. Google “Nulled WHMCS” and click the first link that looks appealing." - Summer Host Club

baapkitty

just use valexcloud.com bluds

for usa vm’s they are registered in arizona

Frosty999

Week Later Update:

They seem to be working on their Pterodactyl panel with them now having a custom theme. No website or Billing Portal online and it seems they cancelled their website hosting

wellwisher

Unauthorized Name:
Well GhostNodes was a very propular well known hosting in India RAN by Sparta and Baklol aka MrTOM
In Their Absence may of us from the community tried to maintain the domain ownership but failed for 1 year and this seems to be a new way to scam people in name of a Trust worth old Hosting

smh

wellwisher

Grow up. You don’t know anything about me or the effort I put into this. Every single person who previously had a server still has their server today. It’s ironic how you throw around accusations of scams without understanding what goes on behind the scenes. I worked hard to provide low-cost servers to help people, and yet you took that opportunity away from them.

As for NotBob_49208, he was banned, and his service was revoked because he engaged in racism and made DDoS threats—clear violations of our ToS and community rules. We had every right to take action. While we currently don’t have screenshots or transcripts due to our bot being down, the fact remains: if I had scammed people, their servers wouldn’t still be running today.

ofc_human

wellwisher can agree to this point.

Braiden H.

smh

Ghost, seriously, it’s amusing that you’re still out here trying to reboot your business. Further, you’re still going after Bot for supposed “racism” and “DDoS threats” with nothing to support you. Maybe take a step back, reassess your plan, and get your facts straight.

Oh, and if you actually do plan on rebooting your business, you might want to go ahead and get the right paperwork and company documents first.
