I have read a few threads a couple of weeks old with complaints of 4webspace being down (actual host or somewhere along the route).
I'd like to know if those people who complained still have the same problem or if it has cleared up?

I got a notice of about a 30 minute downtime a few days ago, but it has been a very long time since one, and for 30 minutes once in 6 months I don't bother to research it, nor complain. The posts you read were route failures I believe. I haven't had anyone complain they can't get to my site, so I assume things have cleared up where ever it was.
