Web.Com <('_')>
Let me post my experience with Web.com.
I'm sorry to say (for a good reason) that because I on't know who you are I can't post my website adress. But for about to years I have been using web.com and I am ready to switch. The support is great, and my website has never been down. However, I have experience other problems, so my website just might-as-well be down and it wouldn't make a difference.
At the moment my FTP doesn't work. That's even worse for me because I host a few sites for my friends, my dad, and of course, MY website. I was working on a new website for my dad and I was getting SO far. I started transfering a CMS, e107 to be exact (long live e107!!), when all of the sudden it stopped. I tried other FTP applications, like Wise FTP, and that mozilla thing... I think that's what it was. I even tries FTPing with DOS and it gave me an error message that told me it couldn't connect. Since you can probably imagine (or have experience) the horrors of not having FTP, I'll talk about another problem. In the past, I had an old account, whitch had changed. I HADN'T BEEN TOLD that it had been changed, so I was stuck with an old control panel with a bad forum and horrible scripts. I called web.com one day when I was trying to figure out why PHP wouldn't install and why I couldn't use MySQL and they told me. I was fine with that, because I had a better control panel and better scripts, like PHPbb and IPB, etc.
Another problem I had recently experienced, involved my grandad's website (My dad's idea, not mine!), also hosted on web.com. Web.com is now migrating websites I guese to make them better. The forums, which I have no idea why I put that on a Senior Citezen's website, were IPB. When it was migrated, somehow it either got rid of the database or the forums. The forums link went to a MySQL error, so I guesse it was the database. When I tried installing phpBB, it gave me a URL to the forum that didn't work. I'll give you an update if anything else happens. The billing period is almost here, what a great time to switch!
