asp web hosting reviews pageTrust Level Control: Showing Customers Some TLC
Mon, 03 Jan 2005 00:00:00 EST
The hard truth about Service Level Agreements is that many service providers offer them with little or no consideration of whether their provisions can be met. Companies serious about establishing customer trust need to deliver on their promises.
The domain names that were transferred to GoDaddy were all
with a PR and a site to go with it. As for all the others - these
were not worth it to transfer and pay for them, so they might
as well be lost, or whatever will happen will not concern me
very much. I was definitely not going to re-new the obsolete
domain names.

Avoid Duplicate Content PenaltiesMon, 14 Apr 2008 07:08:33 GMT
While it may still be debatable whether all the major search engines currently employ a duplicate content penalty, all have made it abundantly clear that they do not have any desire to provide search results that rehash the same content over and over. Actively avoid any potential penalties by taking a proactive approach to building unique content.
New Hosting From LiquidWeb and FastdomainSun, 23 Mar 2008 18:43:00 +0000
We have recently added to new companies to the main web
hosting directory here at the CaymanHost.
The first is Liquidweb based on personal recommendation from a customer. Liquidweb offer a wide range of hosting solutions from shared, through VPS and managed dedicated servers. As a quality provider with a reputation for very good customer service their prices tend towards the mid to upper range but in terms of value for money they come highly recommended.
The second of our new hosting partners are Fastdomain who offer shared hosting plans at $6.95 which includes a domain name. Placed right in the competitive heart of pricing, they do offer some big numbers in terms of storage and monthly bandwidth and provide the familiar features of a modern hosting panel - in this case cPanel with Fantastico included. For those in the market for a web hosting solution at less than $10 per month they compare favorably with many of the bigger names and are worthy of consideration. The web site contains a demo function so that potential customers can have a play around with some of the main features before making any firm decisions.
If anyone has any feedback about either company to share with our readers, we would welcome it as always.
Both companies are listed on the main directory page. Remember to subscribe to stay up to date with all our latest hosting news and coupon and discount offers on both web hosting and domain name registration.

Featured asp web hosting reviews Items
I've been with
hostgator since around August of 2004. I signed up with a
reseller account to use as hosting for both myself and clients. My problems
began about a year ago with them, sometime in February or March of 2005 when one
of my sites was getting too much traffic. Now, I'm no fool. I understand that
shared hosting oversells and anyone who uses too many resources, even if still
within their quota, gets kicked off. What really shocked me, though, was no
warning. Not even emailing me after they had done it. Nothing, nada. I found out
by a member of the site that was suspended, someone I didn't even know, tracking
down my phone number and calling me.
I went to a dedicated server after that, but I kept my
hostgator account for the
sites that were already hosted on it - about three client sites, as well as this
site right here.
Two days ago I come to post a blog and hmm, I get the suspended page. That's
weird. I check my email - no notices there. I log into their billing system -
nope, account not past due. What the heck? So I go to their online support chat
and ask them what's going on. I'm informed that I haven't paid my invoice. What
invoice? I have no invoice. I check my bank and I see that I in fact have not
paid them since January. But man, I could've swore I put it on automatic pay.
And hey, if there's no invoice, how can I pay anyway?! Isn't this a problem on
their end? They tell me I need to email sales.
Okay... so I email sales. 12 hours later, they email me back and inform me I
have an invoice, charging me all the way back to October. Uhhh? I KNOW I paid in
January, I have it in my bank statement. I check their billing system, and they
don't even have a backlog of that payment. Something really funky is going on
now. Their system is screwed up, but no matter who I talk to (and oh, I've
talked to everyone) nobody seems to know what's going on. Sales doesn't talk to
support, online support doesn't talk to phone support, so who the hell knows.
Strangely enough, while on the phone with a support guy who informed me I just
need to pay the invoice and then dispute it afterwards, I received an email from
a different support person that my account had been reactivated, and thank you
for the payment. Whaaat? Uh, whatever. At this point I'm just going to take what
I can get and run. Now I at least have backups of all my sites and am moving
them.
It's just astounding how bad a service this has been. I even posted on their
forums about it, in their "Customer Review" section, and it gets MOVED to
another section because I can't post a bad customer review simply because I
haven't paid. HELLO. I WANT TO PAY, JUST NOT MORE THAN I OWE. I NEED AN INVOICE.
Other problems I've had? Well, let's see. About a week ago my sites reverted
back a day and I could get no explanation on why. I had JUST looked at my access
logs the day before, happy about a new site that was already getting hits, and
the next day - logs are back to a day before. Weird. I contact online support
(bad idea, since it's always horrible support) and they have no idea. I guess I
imagined things?
UPDATE 4-20-07: Well, they finally just simply decided to take their bogus bonus
from my credit card that was filed with them, despite the fact that it's
incorrect, I didn't approve of the payment, or anything else. I've never seen
such bad service, support in my life. I can't even be bothered to dispute it
it's just so amazingly horrible.
UPDATE 10-18-07: I'm still with them, why? I don't know - so lazy when it comes
to my own websites. Anyway, so a couple days ago I notice my "main" reseller
account, the site is completely missing. Email is no longer working. I log into
Cpanel to see that it appears my whole site has disappeared. Cute!
