Well, you see, I once used to have a DH-account. I was also once a bad evil genius and I screwed up. With that, my account disappeared into thin air (I mean, my website no longer really existed and there was little I could do).

Now it's been months and months, and I'm looking to pull my creative strings into a harmonic symphony of total awesomeness (whatever that's supposed to mean).

Since the e-mail services take too long (from experience I'd know), I'd like to know whether Dream Host allows for previously locked-out users to come back and make amends, and I'm asking the question on the forums.

If my topic is magically deleted, I'll understand why. :-)
...Now to go ahead and post, and see what happens. *inhales*

It didn't look like spam, so no problem.

Sounds like it could have been worse than chargebacks; no mercy. ;-)

But a new name, new credit card, and new domain should get you back in the door. (Try some good promo codes, like 777, 888, 9999)

To get any kind of definitive answer to this question, I am guessing that you are going to have to send that email.

Personally, I don't like your chances, but it's worth asking.

If he did that, wouldn't that confirm that he is *still* a 'bad evil genius'?

They may not even be able to accept you if there was some sort of billing or credit card issue their system might "scrub" (i.e. reject) you automatically, it may be even handled by a third party biller.

Thanks for the support so far.

The reason for why I'm not going to simply start a new account, get a new domain and pay once again, is pretty simple: I've read the ToS, and guess what, I'm not allowed to set up a new account if I already have one (which I do, even though it's useless).

So yeah, that wouldn't look very good for someone who is doing his best to avoid further mistakes.

The best thing I can do now is send the crucial e-mail and see what happens. Thanks to you all!

I think that is your best option. Of-course, a lot depends on exactly why your previous account was suspended. As pointed out by JohnGalt above, DreamHost has a zero tolerance policy on matters such as chargebacks, but I suspect that your problems stemmed more from site content than any financial dealings.

Good luck with the email and I sincerely hope it all works out for you.

http://discussion.dreamhost.com/showflat...&o=14&vc=1 That is the URL of the topic I started earlier. It pretty much sums up my issue. What I did was: I mail-bombed a few people, as a test of the PHP mail function. With that, I also had a proxy that your abuse staff didn't trust (for some reason) and I had a "mail to me" script which was not very secure. Now it's been months, and I've learned my lesson, and the overall disk-space for each account is dropping every day.

Is it okay for me to start using the service once again?

- That was my e-mail to them.

Well, all you can do is try, at least you are being honest about the situation.

If things don't work out, you can always start fresh with another host, there are plenty of them out there, although none (in my opinion) offer as good a deal as DreamHost.

Be sure to let us know how it turns out.

I'll suggest you to show them the prove that you do have the account. They may not be able to trace because the account is magically gone. Forward them your receipts, bills, invoices, anything. It is their responsibility to get your account back -- magically or normally
