I am curious to hear from other web hosts on there thoughts of Alabanza. Basically with the poor Customer Service they provide now, there very unacceptable downtime, and there ridiculous prices increases. For those web hosts who were with Alabanza before Nov 2000, should know what I am talking about.

We use to lease servers from them for $800/mo, and then after Nov 2000, with there price increases, we now pay $895/mo plus $1 per Control Panel, (max of 500 accounts per server, so pretty much a $1395.00/mo server.) and an endless list of hidden charges.

We have switched uplines to were we receive a much better server, for $400/mo, and we created our own Control Panel and "cheated" the system to the point where we transferred the domains, with only 5 minutes downtime. All the same features that where available on Alabanzas Control Panel, but this Control Panel is fully developed by us. So I would like to hear if any others have done anything to break away from Alabanza.

I look forward to hearing your opinions.
