Any of you out there are experiencing with Interland? Well, I did and still do. It all started from a few months back. After I received the notice from ICOM saying they will be migrating to Interland for better service. but guess what? It started with sluggishness, it reads 2 bytes/min. even anyone with great optimization skills can't do anything with this, and then, email stopped working and then finally, nothing. My url can not be accessed. My frustration comes from not only that but also, their professionalism. I waited and waited and they just email me saying it should work. Well, it's not. Anyone out there have same issue with this provider?

Interland sucks big time... do not even consider them. They are like flashcom.com. They went down the tube and hope the same for Interland. I have over 50 tickets with them. They are using MIVA, we get time-outs like crazy. They are beta testing 4.0 miva they say. We get over 10,000 hits a day or so e-commerce crashes all the time, email delay like crazy. Always hit with viruses (i know they are not liabale and such) but it totally reminds me of flashcom.com. Hit with virus, slow support, service bad, too much advertising and not enough doing.

Want proof, I've got it. I switched one site of my client to apollohosting.com and see what happens. So far so good. I am now converting/switching over the main site. This has to be done asap and no errors otherwise the entire company can colapse. That is their #1 source of income.

You might be better off with some dedicated server and pay like 30$ extra a month so, 40/month + 40$ (80$/month) seek some reliable host.
