ive had nothing but bad luck in the several times i have dealt with them and have never ever even considered them as a company I'd work with again.
I also consider it bad if you have to ask how a company is doing now showing that one month their up next their not :/

I have a hell of a story if you're interested about them. One of those true horror storries. If you'd like to hear it, feel free to contact me about it.
But seriously, they have horrible business ethics, don't go with them.

I may or may not agree with some or all of the other accusations.If the bigger hosts are fancy French restaurants, consider my service the friendly small-town diner.
HostMidwest.com- you deserve honest, helpful, and reliable service!

2 years with FDC. For the price I like them. Like all discount providers you will see many opinions.
You get what you pay for.

I dont know, people keep saying "fdc sucks" and such while the morons at managed.com unplug your server because "Servers that use more 10Mbps for 20 minutes or longer will be disconnected from the network" Now thats some pure lame BS. So which one would you prefer?

I monitor them via SiteUptime's premium 2 minute monitoring service. 4 outages so far this month and 99.6% uptime. I still would not touch them, although they have obviously improved a great deal since last year

I haven't really heard much about there support. Since most people post about there horrible uptime, and bad pings.

Hey, I've never had any experiences with Managed.com, but I still tell people to stay away from them based upon what I've read about in these forums, and a few experiences some of my friends have had with them. But usually it has to do with having a poor network.
FDC, my brother had a hell of a ride with. I will never ever go near them, and I will warn people as much as possible to stay away from them. My brother lost HUNDREDS of dollars to that company for absolutely no reason. It was such a joke. Terrible terrible company.
And I'm not even talking about their network, I've heard that's piss poor as well, I'm talking about their ethics, and how they simply robbed my brother out of his money.

Actually, they are not overselling as bad as managed.com is.Ben S.

We currently are having network issues with FDC. Slow speeds. They are pretty good overall.

If you are having network issues and slow speeds how the hell are they "pretty good overall"?

The slow speeds crap has gone on for years and for some reason all the clients just grin and bare it, god knows why.
These threads always look the same, 99% say how awful FDC is and how never to use them, and then you have Rob_AcuNett and Music pipe up to say they aren't that bad. I do believe you guys need to try some other providers, you'll be in for a good surprise.
As to the ethics and general working practice of the company....it's shocking. How the hell they remain in business is beyond me.
