Just contacted Ready Hosting @ 262-652-7640. They are experiencing a major tech issue and will be back on line in a few hours.

Rumor has it that it was sold to aplus.net

I have heard alot of bad things about aplus.net, so i hope they didnt sell it to them

[dunkirksystems]

I called RH just a few minutes ago and they said their router went down. They don't have a spare? And you can't buy routers in Kenosha? Heck, CDW's world headquarters is just a few minutes down I-94!

And I just got a trickle of email messages from early this morning, now servers are back down. The saga continues...

Here at good ol' WHT. It doesn't seem anything official has been annouced. But given the fact that aplus has a bad reputation (especially around here) I wouldn't be shocked that they try and hide this for as long as possible..

Then again, I could be wrong and perhaps the hosting company wasn't sold. My only question is why doesn't someone ask them while they are talking to them about these router issues?

Since I am "new" to this forum, the system will not let me put in a link to EnduranceInternational.com.

First time I've ever heard of Endurance International...

[BF-Gary]

I believe it is Bizland.com, Hypermart.net, Fatcow.com, Blueboxinternet.com, Hostcentric.com, Virtualave.net, Nwrks.com, bluedomino.com and many many more.

If you do a google search on there street address you get a lot of hosts.

Yep, they have a fairly aggressive growth through acquisition strategy. Although IMO, they have a lousy domain/name, their credentials look very impressive.

[HybridReseller]

Wow, seems like they're a pretty powerful mergers and acquisitions powerhouse. I haven't heard about HyperMart and VirtualAve in ages. Reminds me of the old days when they were still the freebie web hosts.
