Did a search and still no user past experiences with fatcow (http://www.fatcow.com) web hosting. Anyone recently host with them or have any input on this web hosting company?

Thanks,
Scott

Ive been with fatcow before but have had bad experience. Their support is the poorest I have ever seen. And they do not supply enough features for the price the ask for compared to many other hosts.

Other thanthis, their servers are fast. I wasnt with them long enough to know abotu downtime , sorry

And yes, the name probably did attract me to sign up :) dont let it get to u :p

damn fatcow is still around. i wonder if that gal i always use to talk to still works there hehe..that was 5'ish years ago if not longer...wonder if they still got the same owner...

I've been using fatcow for about a year, and I've had no problems at all. Unlike Cyrus, my experience with their support has been pretty good ... 24 hour support is always a big plus, and their support interface is simple to use.

As far as downtime, in the year that I've used them, the only time that they went down was during scheduled maintenance ... which was only two or three times. And I can categorically say this, because I use ArsDigita's "uptime" to receive notifications of when a server has gone down.

Perhaps the only negative is that they are still using PHP3. Sometimes, it would be nice to have session variables, so the PHP3 thing is annoying. But if you can live with this, then Fatcow is a good choice.

They must be doing well as they have an advertising budget that allows them to buy a half page ad in Wired Magazine.....

Gotta like anyone brave enough to name themself fatcow:D

I heard about them around a year ago..."fatcow" name is funny. One won't forget once heard. First I thought that they are local milk suppliers :D but was amazed to know that they are hosting company.

i have a feeling the ones who own Fatcow today arent the orginal owners. Its been so long since i worked with them, i forgot the owners name.
