hi,

CNET.COM rated catalog.com as #1.

Does anyone have any experiences with this?

thanks

I'm not sure how CNET ratings are done (could be just bought advertising), but regardless, catalog is a fairly well known host which seems to have a good reputation. I'm not sure if there are any catalog users here or not...

I have first hand experience. About 3 years ago i had my website hosted with them. I must admit that their uptime was great. About 98% ..pretty good.

Sometimes though ...i had problems ftping to my account and it was almost impossible to login into their filemanger program they created. (it just timed out 80% of the time...most likely on a slow server...)

Support was the worest part. It took about 1 week to get a reply almost all the time....the fastest was about 3 days turn-around.

But, i really only used support about 10 times for the period of a year.....so it was no big deal for me. I just liked the uptime.

That was about 3 years ago ..so maybe things have changed

That's it :cool:

I had a dedicated server with them last year. Their dedicated support has always been very helpful and responsive in fairly decent time. Uptime was never a problem for me. Not sure how their shared web hosting is though. Overall I think they are a pretty decent company. Hope this helps out.
