iMountain.com 6 Month and 1 Day Review
I am writing this just over one day late, but yesterday was my 6 month anniversary hosting at iMountain.com, so let's give a quick run down of the changes and updates since my last review (need to get some sleep, I've been up for 28 hours as of the time of this post):
THE GOOD:
1. Their servers continue to fly along.
2. The mySQL move finally happened, things on that end are much better now.
3. I got some free site publicity from them on my ontarioweatherservice.com site that I help my friend run. (Go to imountain.com and click on Blog at the top to see our website review that they did on us)
4. I think their support staff are the nicest team I have ever worked with. Even if they don't give out their real names. (Sorry, had to jab that in there)
THE BAD:
1. One mySQL server crash.
2. They deleted my account and lost the backup. Just joking.
THE UGLY:
1. They use hSphere (aka to me as Crapsphere).
That's about it, I might add more to it soon.

I agree about H-Sphere - I initially thought it was OK, although some of the menu options took a bit of finding (CRON setup is under "FTP User", for example). But the more I use it the more I realise it's full of nasty bugs.

I do agree about the menu options. It took me some time to find the crontab, the MySQL database wizard was confusing at first, I had a hard time finding out how to run backups, so on and so forth. To me, everything was a lot more straightforward with cPanel. But I'm over my learning curve now mostly, so it's not as bad as it once was.
