Thread: Bionic Hosting?

  1. #1

    Bionic Hosting?

    I remember seeing Bionic Hosting as first search result in Google under "webhosting". They came from no where and went nuts in advertising. I'm assuming they went bust.

    Did anyone get a hosting account with them in the short time they were around?
    If anyone has had an account were they any good or is that a bad question seen as they went bust

    I think instead of going bust they actually got taken over by www.flyhigh.net

    I saw them and remember their website quite clearly. It didn't look that great but for a time they were right up the top.

    Just shows how bad advertising can send your business down the pan. I didn't have an account with them, though.

    Was the website the one that had the cornfield in the background?

    No wonder it went bust.

    Owned by a bunch of farmers from the UK.

    Well I feel sorry for people who had accounts with them if that was the case, lol.

    There was a thread on this a while back - http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=746568

    IIRC clients that stayed were bought by FlyHigh and were moved across so I'm sure they were looked after.

    What a silly thread? It has no use to ask how the performance of a bankrupt web hosting company is, because there's quite a chance you'll never end up on their servers

    Also calling them 'farmers from the UK' sounds to me you have some beef with them or had beef with them in the past?

    I just wanted to know if it they were OK hosts but just went over the top with advertising.

    Or maybe it's the fact that I live in Suffolk amongst farmers that it seemed familiar to me?

    I have no 'beef' with them; not sure about the thread owner. I've just seen a lot of corn fields in my time.

    Lighten up people!

    Actually I heard they got out of webhosting to form a boyband.

    Here's their latest single apparently.

    and get ready for the B Side.
