Blurstorm
HI All,
I am considering moving my sites to blurstorm.com and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on them.
Do you use them and if so what has been your experience of them?
Does anyone have anything negative to say about them?
Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Take care, Keith

Try searching WHT http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php or try your luck on Google to search for reviews on them. Obviously you will most likely find one or two negative reviews (that is with any web hosting provider)
Do they offer a money back guarantee?
Does their plans fit your needs?
If so, then go for it.<<< Please see Forum Guidelines for signature setup. >>>

Hi HostFrog,
I already did a search of this forum but nothing much came up
They do offer a money back guarantee but offering one and actually getting one are two different things.
Yes they do meet my needs.
I am just after some personal experiences of people who may have used them.
Research is everything in my book, hence my post
Take care, Keith

If you can't find anything on WHT nor anywhere else yet you're still considering them, then give it a shot.

Hello keith, and welcome to WHT! I remember hearing some not so good things about them here on WHT, are you sure you tried other possible search strings to find them?
Good Luck & Best Regards,

Hi sTag-Dan,
Research is everything my friend.
It is not a case of give them a shot, I would not be doing myself or the people I work for any great service by just giving them a shot and hoping for the best.
I am considering them yes but I want all the info I cant get on them before making a decision.
Take care, Keith

If you don't mind that I ask you, why are you considering them over others if you don't hear much about them?

I don't just go for someone just because they are cheap or offer great packages or because they have a flashy web site, I look at the whole package.
I just want to find out more about these people before any decision is made to see if they make it to the next stage, a short list if you like.
Take care, Keith

Keith, HostFrog is right. There are positive reviews and negative reviews with almost any host you choose. You have to find the one that is right for you. If there are any questions you may have you can email me at XLR8@blurstorm.com. If you have any doubts about what others think about Blurstorm then try going here and look for us near the top of the screen.
Thanks for your interest.

No worries guys, a good healthy discussion and points of view are always a good thing.
As I said I am only in the research stages at the moment so if anyone can recommend someone I will be happy to check them out.
Thanks for everyone's input so far.
Take care, Keith

Keith,
I've happily been with Blurstorm for 3-4 months now.
I have a running review thread of sorts that you can find here
