Comments for Even The Best Hostings Suck Sometimes http://www.hostingsthatsuck.com Searching for Web Hosts that Suck the Least Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:31:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Comment on WebAir Sucks The Air Out of You by Tony http://www.hostingsthatsuck.com/webair-sucks/comment-page-1/#comment-3810 Tony Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:31:58 +0000 http://www.hostingsthatsuck.com/?p=1167#comment-3810 I've been with them for a few years, here is my advice: For dedicated servers, they rock. If you want a shared hosting plan, no matter what size, make sure you don't run database reliant sites (e.g. wordpress) with them, since the shared sql database servers are extremely slow and down several times a month. It was better in earlier days, but since most platforms nowadays rely on databases, it looks like they missed this new trend. So, a great host, but some of the shittiest shared sql servers I've seen...and I have accounts with over 15 hosts.

Even though it would timeout once it passed their demarc point which is inside their buiding. It would be up for 2 hours then down 4 hours, then it would be back up, I did not change any code. I was using their Microsoft servers not their Unix servers. Numerous times, I could not get into the control panel. Also, had problems when I added a second domain to the account, they started billing me multiple problems, but they did give me a credit each time it happened. In 2010, it got worse, I have switched to Lunar Pages, and my website had been up and running with no problem and their tier 1 support is excellent.

]]> Comment on Webfaction Sucks? Fraction of Webfaction Reviews by aaabbbccc111222333 http://www.hostingsthatsuck.com/webfaction-sucks/comment-page-1/#comment-3780 aaabbbccc111222333 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 23:33:21 +0000 http://www.hostingsthatsuck.com/?p=931#comment-3780 I love webfaction. Although it is a little expensive and they don't offer domain names, their hosting just works. I you want to change something then you just use the ssh or ftp. Not as good as slicehost (more expensive) but still great. I use it for plone. I also like Shared 2. Godaddy is the WORST I have used. I love webfaction.

They are fairly supportive and promte but any one using a hosting company should keep in mind this is what they do best. Do not expect them to configure websites or files for you or upload software to support your websites even if it may be a server software, this is your responsibility. Even though everything has not be perfect with inmotion hosting, needless to say things do happen and this is something we should all keep in mind. We have leased servers from other companies and I can truly say my experience with Inmotion Hosting has been far better then my past experiences.

I have always found it difficult to reach support on their site - it is poorly set-up to access. I wanted to cancel my subscription renewal last week, and emailed jumplaunch about this. I am so angry with them - they immediately terminated my account, although I had clearly another 2 months to run on my contract. When I emailed to complain, I received a snide reply. I have never ever encountered such RUDE customer service. Don't touch them - they are obviously a second-class hosting service. Don’t touch Jumpstart Hosting.

Midphase. Have been good until now. Was down one day last week too. Offer 24/7 support but if they are down is no good. Am thinking of going somewhere else. Right now is down.
