Akash 06-07-2001, 05:16 PM if you don't know it yet......stay away from TacidHost, Lahlah.net, Webmanix.........and be careful with any host offering unlimited space and/or bandwidth.
I Am Looking For Unlimited Email ( Not The Kind I have No Control Over ) , Disk Space Over 100 , Transfer / Traffic / ETC.. Over 10 Gb , Chat Room , Forums / Bulliten Boards / ETC.. , Things Along That Line !
Hey Jedito Which One Of Those ( Communitech.net , OChosting.com ) Should I Stay Away From And Go To ! ?

Colin 06-07-2001, 05:47 PM You might want to check out http://www.forumhosts.com/hosts.htm if you want to know more about choosing a host. I'm sure that'd help more than putting up a post like this one.

Yeah, what's up with that, anytime their URL gets posted in a thread, the mods come along and delete it?
I did find this thread:

If there was anything else, I missed it, or just couldn't find it in the search...
Akash 06-07-2001, 09:51 PM the two problems i have with them is 1) MPD lied about not being brian baldwin 2) they offer a discount to TacidHost customers as long as they don't get a refund from TacidHost..........IMO, that's stealing money.
RescueHst 06-07-2001, 09:54 PM where does it say that?
Its not on the web site anywhere, was at first when Tacid was working at full speed, however was removed some time ago after the legalities were disclosed

I couldn't agree with the above anymore. I was going to say 100% the exact same thing. Hostingmatters.com is the best of the best.

but you admit that it was there before?......and why can't you use your other 2 names????
RescueHst 06-07-2001, 10:05 PM I cant use my other 2 names because.... ahh I dont need to get into it with you now do I unless you like flames wars.
Your right it was there before, thats because I was originally working on a deal for Shangs customers to be able to upgrade and get unix service. and I wasnt trying to steal any money from him. If I had offered the service, and let everyone get a refund then it would be like stealing money, this was before I was aware of soem of the illegal things going on.
Once I was aware of the illegal things the request was removed. and customers have requested refunds and such since
Uh I Just Wanted To Know About The Good And Bad , Not About Personal Stuff ! But Thanks For The Info ! ( How Much Did You Get = ) )

tortellini 06-08-2001, 12:00 PM iserver.net (verio) virtual server "C" 800mb:
price -> getting toooo expensive for me
speed -> great for germany, italy, others... no idea
uptime -> excellent (noc in vienna)
support -> no idea! got it through a reseller
customer -> since 2 years
dustin[s31] 06-08-2001, 12:09 PM Can someone please tell me why CommuniTech is bad? I've had excellent experience with them. And personally, I think it's the best reseller program on the web. Anyone know someone better?
I tried ***** for a little bit too. They were good from my point of view. Good uptimes, good speeds and good tech support.
With my experience...
The Good:
OLM.net
CommuniTech.Net
*****.com
The Bad:
Burlee.com
CWIHosting.com
Chicken 06-08-2001, 12:30 PM Sorry, just piping in here...
It is hard to label hosts good or bad so easily, other than hosts that are just outright scams. One person will hate the host for various reasons, one will like them. Without knowing the full details about the site and the expectations of the person signing up for hosting, it is hard to guage whether a review (either good or bad) is of any value.
Including time you were with them (from-to), your experiences with support, your opinion about their prices, network performance, general comments, etc., would be more helpful than just listing them under a heading of 'good/bad'.
joshivivek 06-08-2001, 01:03 PM Anything that comes close to or looks like shangs website is a scam. :D
dustin[s31] 06-08-2001, 04:04 PM The ones I listed as 'good' (above), have (and had) excellent everthing to me.
The bad...
Burlee.com's servers we're slow and they had problems keeping our site online for 24 hours in one day.
CWIHosting had good servers (I've seen better) but their support sucked. They never responded. It took a "threatening letter" in order to get their Billing department to reply. Which, I finally got my refund.

That's very true, Chicken. You need to give us the whole story, not just "xyzhost.com sucks". It's very possible to have bad experiences with good service providers. It's not possible to do business with people without pissing some of them off at one time or another.
