Well once again...

Yes i am a competitor * Juilty * :)

It would be good if you did a search and see some other posts about them were i have also commented in...

And remember when they say you get what you pay for... I must admit i have not tried them * obviously * !

But to me I believe they are over selling if not over selling over crowding the servers unless they have you on p2 servers with 128 ram running out of there DSL connection.

Look at some of the other resellers around compare prices then look at one fusion kind of blows it out of the water doesnt it... Well you can decide!

This is just my opinion as usual im not here to offend they have tried to convince me before but it still did not make ends meet in my book.

Good luck with them anyway!

Kind regards,

I'm really suspicious because their price varies greatly than other reputable hosts. Thanks for your help.

I would take a nice hard look at their terms of service.
Many hosting companies resort to offering services they can't possibly fulfill, but radically changing their tune in their terms of service. That would be the first thing I would look at. Also, look for hidden fees, additional setup fees, data related fees, these extra things you can get hooked up on your account look cheap, but there may very well be $300 setup fees involved. Ask them the hard questions, and get it in writing before making any kind of decision.

Just stay away from these jokers. I don't want to bore you with my problems but i'm still waiting for them to send my account information 2 weeks after i created the bloody thing.

just stay away from them!

I refuse to believe that they are going to be able to offer that pricing and descent support, let alone stay in business.

I wouldnt go with anything that cheap simply because like the others said, you get what you pay for. Under that pricing your receiving bandwidth at .60 per GB?! Cogent bandwidth is what .13 a GB, so he is making .47. At this rate i dont understand how they could possibley afford to pay a staff any larger than a few people.

Simply take into consideration what they have to have to stay in business, then figure out if they can do so and make a profit by charging .47 a GB, i doubt it...

They are overselling BIG time , which means you will purchase 50GB thinking you can resale it, but when you resale the entire 50GB they will probably cut you off for some lame reason or something. There is no point in buying and reselling what your not getting, and i doubt your really getting 50GB of transfer.

Ive said it many times, overselling is a part of the hosting industry, BUT it should not be used as a business plan. Any host depending on it should be avoided.

yep very true...

$40 dollars might would be reasonable for that plan if they where a startup company that was getting really great rates on colo and only ran a 2people and used remote hands.

And then they would have to limit how much they sold or they would quickly become over worked leadign to hiring more people which would quickly put them in debt seeing as they are charging so low...

I mean only way i could figure it is if it was 2-4 guys running the show, then maybe they could do it, but could they supply support



The answer: NOPE

Yes ... you are right !! i believe there is only 2 people running it caleb and jerry only but their alway act like a few people running it as in the support alway using different name to reply inact there is no such people .

i use their services before ... their services are like **** alway got downtime problem when you call their support phone their will told you there is a charges of US$200 per mth for the phone suppport and if you alway email their support their will stop you reseller account and ask you to shift all the account out within their given date if not their will delete all your resold account ...

so must be careful with this kind of unprofessional hosting company.

dun be like me want cheap things in the end facing alot of problem and complaint from customer.

I believe it is my responsiblity to make things clear about the allegations of "US$200 per hour phone support" as fusiondon claimed. What happens is we provide a 24x7 emergency support line for customers to call us at any time of the day if the servers are down or there is a serious outage on any of our servers. This number which we give to certain resellers upon their request, puts the caller through to our personal mobile phones which are switched on all the time. When a customer makes the call, 5 mobile phones ring simultaneously for the next available person to pick up.

We have had situations whereby certain people call the line for the simplest reason like 'i am going to place an order now, can you setup that account for me IMMEDIATELY?' or in the case of fusiondon, he got hold of the mobile phone number of one of my techs and immediately demanded to know whether his domain name registration went through the system. This poor chap (my tech) happened to be on a much-needed break but nevertheless took down fusiondon's particulars, problem encountered and told him he would look into it. He then gave me a call to brief me on the issue. I then made the call back to fusiondon and explained to him i will be taking a look into the issue. I gave fusiondon a call back and told him i will be looking into the issue. Next thing I did was to drive down to the nearest cybercafe because i was out at night (it was a saturday evening and i was at a dinner function) then login and check. It appeared that fusiondon performed a domain name order but it was put on pending due to registrar transfer of the domain name. I then thought, fine, everything is ok since it was already pending administrative verification for domain transfers. So i drove back to dinner after footing the cybercafe bill of $3 despite only using 10 minutes.

I believe we had handled this case with utmost professionalism, despite it being a simple domain name registration issue. Would anybody care to agree with me or just listen to a competitor (fusiondon) flame us?

Im not a competitor, but i will tell you that i think overselling on purpose and using it as a business plan is not only wrong but it will bite you in the rear end someday.

Ive never seen a hosting company with cheap prices stay in business AND provide happy customers... either they are staying in business by generating loads of advertising to new customers and markets that arent aware of what they are getting into OR they simply go out of business eventually because everyone gets fet up with the lack of support.

Im not saying this is the case here,, but i just can not believe you could run a company with those prices, be profitable, afford support, afford update costs, and be able to expand your staff without going into bankruptcy...............

2cents, worth nothing probably:D

ck
09-07-2002, 08:56 AM
I agree with you on that, its definitely worth more than 2 cents. What you mentioned makes perfect business sense. However, I'd like to mention again that each plan brings us a very small margin as compared to other providers who make a significantly larger amount.

The business has been profitable from day 1, even based on calculations of full bandwidth utilisation. Nevertheless, I'm not driving a ferrari, just a plain old (scrap metal) car. :D

btw just for the records, the fusionprime comes with 30GB of bandwidth, not 50GB any longer. We made that change a couple of months back. And additional bandwidth is also $2/GB not $1 per GB.

I was one of their customers from the middle of May to the middle of June. In the meantime, I was exposed to stress all the time. Server down, packet loss, slow speed, and no lucid explanations.

Although I don't know the present situation, I will never re-sign up any longer :wavey:

Heh...I just found out about these forums :)
Quite busy ;).

I've recently setup a reseller account with ONEFusion, and so far they're great. I've experienced some downtime, but that was due to some people's misuse of the server. ONEFusion handled the situation very well, IMO.

What else is there to say...so far they're great! ;) Prompt and friendly support :).

Yes, I agree OneFusion is getting on very well and increasing their Reseller client-based everyday and if you are a client of them and visit their forums, you will only envy them and understand what I am trying to say.

Although it's understandable that business rivalry and sometimes jealousy is a common issue but I believe most readers of sound mind can distinguish that threat expressed by some competitors dramatising and taking the opportunity any bad mouthing of former clients of OneFusion due to some dispute that they may have and thus adding fuel to the fire although most of the time it's the client's own fault in most cases.

OneFusion is a strong competitor as far as Reseller accounts is concern and provide honest to goodness, fair pricing, excellent support and service, it's no wonder they are becoming very strong and a headache for the competitor to handle.

I have an account with them for the last 6 months and can confirm that they have been very honest, fair and very understanding with their Resellers so what more can one ask?

Just my experience with OneFusion and a happy one.

Regards.

Thank you cactus & iisnet for your kind comments!! :) I do not know what we did to deserve such excellent customers like you but your comments have certainly made us want to constantly improve our services for the better. :)

eQQe, I remember the problems you were having with your account earlier on while hosted in the Miami servers. What you said is indeed true and we are still feeling very bad for not living up to your expectations due to the bad network packet loss from where you were accessing your account from. We have since taken steps to migrate out of the Cogent-based ISP in Miami to California and learnt from your feedback. If you ever do consider us again, I will be more than willing to provide a 14 day free trial for an account hosted in our new facility so that you can see the difference.

Cheers

Yes, i know this postings is prob contributing to "old-news" but i've only just joined this forum and thought i'd see what people say about some local hosting companies.

Firstly, I'm a satisfied Onefusion customer. I have been with them for more than 4 months.

Yes, looking at the dates of your postings, i also experienced downtimes around those months.

But the server has been very stable since they got to the root of the problem.

I also want to commend their support team. True, I'm not sure how many people actually run the show. But I'm a workaholic and I've emailed them sometimes, with sales and support questions over a 36 hours period and many times, several different people reply to me. Even if it's the same person replying, trying to fake it like what fusiondon says... SO WHAT? At least i get a proper reply.

To fusiondon: If you are Don from Switchfusion, please eat your words. I was a customer with you a long time ago. Switchfusion is by far the worst company i've hosted with. I still have emails of replies from your support team. Totally useless "help" and all the time, in terrible broken english. Most of the time, i end up more confused than before i emailed for support. And i'm not the only one complaining, because, sadly, i was also bought into your cheap package and recommended a few friends to sign up. All of them say the same thing "What are you talking about?!?!". :smash: Your run-down office in Golden Mile Complex does not even have a signboard and it looks like some illegal loanshark den.

Back to my posting, Onefusion DOES have a support phone line. I feel that this is one of the most important features of a web host. If my server goes down, and my email is down, and i'm out of the office, there will be no way of checking with them. Becuase of the phone line support, i've been able to receive updates on my server downtimes and in turn, communicate the problem to my own customers.

Lastly, Onefusion offered damage control with an incentive which i appreciated. Though it was a small gesture, it showed that my business with them was important. Many web hosting companies out there have the idea that "So what if this customer cancels, there'll be news ones". Onefusion definately does not.

Also, if you do a ping on their servers and other servers, you will see how fast they are.

To Caleb and Seeni, do keep up with good work. There will always be jealous flamers but at the same time, there will be satisfied customers who will stand by your company.

I used them and they were very good, the tech support was very helpful and the value for the price was good, I found a host with 10 gigs space 55 gigs bandwidth though for 35 a month so that's why I switched.

Many thanks to the customers who have chosen to stand out and show support for us - especially Sheng, but not forgetting PILMAN as well for your kind comments :D All your positive feedback has certainly done wonders for the morale of our staff and we will constantly strive to improve ourselves.

3listen - we were busy uploading our new site over the past couple of days. http://www.onefusion.com has since been relaunched and we will begin accepting new customers once a new batch of servers are ready by tomorrow.

On a separate note, let's all just ignore fusiondon as it is very clear that he is just out to flame us. If any of you had noticed, fusiondon only changed his previous post to what it is now. Switchfusion was one of our ex-resellers whom we terminated due to non-payment of close to 3 months hosting fee as well as breach of contract.

First of all, ck and ah_boyz is not the same person... I don't know where you got this impression. Don't be so naive....

"If my english from your way of typing we make no different shaming singaporean over the cyberspace ... do you need my help to tutor your english ... I can provide to you FOC."

Pardon for my "limited" english, but I DO NOT UNDERSTAND what you are talking about! Maybe you are right, my standard of english is not as 'high' as you, I cannot reach to your standard of english......

Are you sure you are the domain owner of successpro.com??? Confirm????

Lastly... So how much do you charge for your English lesson?
