Due to the 2 + days of downtime I've had at technohosts, I reverted my site back to the old host, myhosting.com. Today, their servers went down. I emailed to ask why the sites were all down. So, what do they do? They do as they always do. Wait until the sites are back up, then email me and say there's nothing wrong. But this time they tell me that I didn't have an index.html file. Of course it doesn't. It has an index.Shtml file. They took the liberty of uploading their default index.html to my site, covering up my index.shtml file. And to top it off, my ftp won't work for their servers now. So now I'm paying to host their default page on my site.
Before they did this, my sites WERE back up and working just fine for a couple of hours.

Suggestion: Choose Host C (yet to be determined). I know you already know this, but the sooner you do it, the better off you'll be and the better you'll feel.

Why is there no more warning about terrible service. I did my research. I looked for 'myhosting.com sucks' all over the internet. I didn't find it. All I saw were good reviews. What is the deal.
I have 40 domains stationed there. All down. My whole container goes down at least once every 48 hours that I am aware of. I'm guessing it's down for 'maintenance' much more frequently.
Firewalls, process didn't complete, now it's a migration. One excuse after another.
And don't believe the 'online support' knows more than a call taker. That's all they are.
Where can I find a real VPS reseller account? MUST BE WINDOWS.

we are on the same boat, they have a poor service. we are running a news website. they are not giving clear explanations to us why a host with 2GB RAM, 1ghz CPU cannot run a small news website with about 1300 visitors/day.
we are moving to a new VPS host soon.

I think each hosting has their own problems, the only difference is how they will handle problems.

Hmm.. shouldn't the website still can be accessed and load the index page, even its default index page is index.shtml (if the index.html doesn't exist)?

In the meantime while you look for an alternate host, have you tried logging in via cpanel and deleting their index.html via file manager? Of course, that is assuming you are using cpanel?

I agree with this one. You can experience downtime and other problems on any hosting but what's important here is the way they handle everything-the way their support handle their clients' concern.
