Netracom acquires InvisionHost.com
Over at freewebspace.net, Invisionhost is considered one of the best new hosts. I was pretty close to signing up with them, but in the lost momeny I opted for Dixiesys.
Now it is acquired by Netracom and their site seems pathetic. Any comments on Netracom?

netracom seems good.
Netracom is pretty respected in these parts of the world.
I would think its more a positive instead of a negative that Netracom bought over invisionhost.
Anyway thats just my opinion.
Kind regards

The invisionboard site and community forum heavily promoted invisiohost.com at one stage. They may still do, I'm not sure. I think that's what Andrew is saying.

invisionhost
invisionhost
netracom
iceservers
all owned by Myles Agnew
I had my site hosted on invisionhost.
They had a major outage on the 3rd April.
They assured me they did full daily backups.
Needless to say they have lost my account, can't recover the account, so stay clear of them.
They also had heaps of unexplained downtime.

Sorry to hear that. You should make regular backups yourself from time to time.

Here's part of Section 5
Your use of the service is at your sole risk. Invisionhost is not responsible for files and data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backup of files and data stored on Invisionhost servers.

I tend to agree with neobyte, ultimately the site owner should have a site backup. Still, any data loss is unfortunate.

unless backups are offered as part of the services by the host (I find many flaunting it as "nightly backups")!

Just for the record, invisionhost.com has nothing to do with Invision Power Services - specifically Invision Power Hosting (www.ipshosting.com) or Invision Power Board.
