My forum is small, and I have a small website also. I am getting fed up with them. They guarantee 99% up time, but I have not figured out on what yet?
My site is down more often than up seems like. Every week since 10/29/06 I have had a open ticket with them, about the site being down.
Anybody have any suggestion's?
Thanks

what really got me was when I would ask them why the site is down and they would say it's up for them even though a monitoring script that I'd have on the site, would say it's down..
anyways, we use Fluid Hosting: FreeBSD and Windows Hosting now and the up-time is great as well as the support is top notch.

The site went out day before yesterday, and they claimed someone was on my server overloading it. They said they were going to investigate it.
This morning's excuse was a malfunction with the data center, I already had this excuse once already a few days ago.
A friend of mine also has midphase, he has a big forum. When he added vBSEO he had to go to a dedicated server, I mean he is paying out the wazooo and still gets a fair share of down time.

I was a member on a well known forum and they offered it to members.

I did hosting this way for several years, now it is more a private service I can offer for a few. Since I can't give full time support. Still it isn't easy these days if you have a server hosting about anything. You have those really carefull and always up to date with scripts and you have those who known a damn and just blow up servers with nasty things, if it isn't illegal already. I'm now moved to a server where each and every account is known... and centrally managed, no more open hosting ... tired to restore accounts every x months after a hacked server.
For sure if you want real uptime, you have to pay since the datahouses need quite some people running from one box to the other to keep them alive ;) and they are well paid mostly... | | | Join Date: Jul 2006 | Posts: 219 | Location: NE Ohio | Re: What hosting service do you use? I've been with my host for over 1 year and they have been really good to me, up til a couple of months ago. I'm hoping to be able to move to a VPS in a couple of months vBSetup Team

Your sites always run fast for me, I've never seen downtime with them either.  | | | Join Date: Dec 2006 | Posts: 11 | Re: What hosting service do you use? Servage is great. At 7.50 a month, I get 250GBs of web space and 2100GBs of bandwidth. vBSetup Team
