Separated at birth?

EDIT: These guys we’re cool about things. They have removed all of our design from their site. They said it was the web developer they hired and they we’re unaware that it was copied. Kudos to them for reacting quickly.

    The only original thing on their site is the Phone number image, and it looks like crap!

    Completely different sites - Clown Site says '503....'. Perhaps not a good impression to give of your hosting skills.

    Service Temporarily Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. hehe, that's not a good sign when a company offering web hosting is down :)

    Perhaps their own hosting could not handle the load imposed by your post hitting rubycorner :)

    Yes a 503, but thanks Google we can still see it cached. And yes a definite rip-off. http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:NdNO1bI06ZUJ:www.digitalni.com.au/hosting+digitalni+rails&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=au

    Well, that's the price for being famous. Get used to, and get a lawyer.

    Hi guys, I would like to thank you, and the various people who contacted me regarding the copied website. No excuses on my behalf I should have checked the site for a duplicate throughly. Apologies go out to engineyard.com, and anyone else that was angry with me. I decided to take the site down yesterday once I was aware of the copy, however engineyard.com gave me 1 week to fix it. Thats why you were getting the 503 error all day yesterday.

    It is all because of their Apache :). As Adan says, google cache helped. Brian,

    You may consider communicating with Internet archives companies or check google cache. Thanks
