Over at freewebspace.net, Invisionhost is considered one of the best new hosts. I was pretty close to signing up with them, but in the lost momeny I opted for Dixiesys.

Now it is acquired by Netracom and their site seems pathetic. Any comments on Netracom?

Netracom is pretty respected in these parts of the world.

I would think its more a positive instead of a negative that Netracom bought over invisionhost.

Anyway thats just my opinion.

Kind regards

Isn't that against any name registrars rules to use false info?

But Netracom.net have furnished full info:

Invision have been around about 3 months. Must have sold for about $500. ;)

Never heard of them, otherwise I would have pointed out the typos on their website to them. :)

They mainly do support via email as too many people we not using the helpdesk!

I find all my question anwsered with 12-24hrs with a solution in place!

Well, Invision had a cool thing going on with Invisionboard, so if they continued to operate pulling in customers from that, I'd pay $500 for them every day of the week and twice on Sunday! :D

"cool thing going on with Invisionboard: means what? That they used Invisionboard? Or what?

The invisionboard site and community forum heavily promoted invisiohost.com at one stage. They may still do, I'm not sure. I think that's what Andrew is saying.

I had my site hosted on invisionhost.

They had a major outage on the 3rd April.

They assured me they did full daily backups.

Needless to say they have lost my account, can't recover the account, so stay clear of them.

They also had heaps of unexplained downtime.

Sorry to hear that. You should make regular backups yourself from time to time.

Yes to another HD attached to the server.

Have you ever read the Terms of Service?

Here's part of Section 5

Your use of the service is at your sole risk. Invisionhost is not responsible for files and data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backup of files and data stored on Invisionhost servers.

I tend to agree with neobyte, ultimately the site owner should have a site backup. Still, any data loss is unfortunate.:(

unless backups are offered as part of the services by the host (I find many flaunting it as "nightly backups")!

The key word you need to look for is OFFSITE NIGHTLY BACKUPS and not many webhost's have this facility.

They're the developers of Invisionboard, using it to promote their hosting company.

Wow, I wonder how well that exposure worked out for them? :)

Just for the record, invisionhost.com has nothing to do with Invision Power Services - specifically Invision Power Hosting (www.ipshosting.com) or Invision Power Board.

That's is Correct Invisionhost.com is no relation to invisionboard or ipshosting.
