Which auditor?

Not cleared to say yet. Contract phase. When it's signed, I'll post. That's a real promise, not a "journey."

I'll believe the auditor when I see the certificate. Until then, Hostinger is in the same bucket as the rest: unverified.

Network boot believer here: trust but verify. Hostinger failed both. The boot image is unsigned.

Did anyone else notice the Kenya reforestation NGO's website is back up? Updated yesterday. Says "pilot concluded, seeking scale-up funding." Not dead, just paused. Hostinger's broker may have bought real but unregistered credits. Still worthless for claims, but different fraud type.

Link? I checked two days ago, was down.

Whois checks out, registered 2018. The "seeking scale-up funding" line is new per Wayback comparison. Doesn't validate Hostinger's credits but complicates the "ghosted" narrative. Maybe the broker bought futures, not retirements.

Appreciated. Still doesn't help us verify what we bought. The broker's paperwork didn't specify vintage or delivery. Sloppy all around.

From Bangalore: Hostinger's Mumbai DC serves my cousin's site well. Latency is king there. But I told him about this thread. His reply: "Indians have seen bigger scams." Cynical, but the trust floor is lower. He stays for now.

Late to this but: Vestland Province. I found a "Vestland Biogas AS" in Norway, registered 2020, dissolved 2023. No methane capture project, just a name similarity. The broker likely mashed up real places with fake projects.
