webhosts discussions - what's best what sucks

[andy1]

apparently, more people think fatcow is good than that fatcow sucks

Not just Another Ordinary Fatcow Review

[Blue Frost]

I saw that review before i went with them but you know they might have put that up or paid someone.
It seems pretty good when it works and the support seems pretty quick but not to into checking back if it works later.

[andy1]

yeah, but blue i'm pretty sure that level of customer service doesn't exist anywhere in webhosting:)) (following up with you on whether things work ok or not)

s'ok tho.. being on your own really toughens you up:)

[Blue Frost]

Well you know if it's something on their end they should tell you and I'm going to tell them so.
I think if they want to keep me they will let me know, if not Ill just find another that does care eventually.

[andy1]

sounds good blue:).. my guys (eleven2) are mostly ok, they do have hick-ups but they solve them too..

[Blue Frost]

We had server glitches today on my site, just enough to annoy us a little, lost post and such but it's all good again now
Hick-ups for sure.

[andy1]

i think some is probably inevitable blue when you're on shared hosting..

[Blue Frost]

Oh I look for some but not a lot, I expect some courtesy also when I ask about the downtime.

[andy1]

i agree. some is what it should be. really most host ratings i've read online were almost only based on their uptime cause in the end that's the most important thing (once you are all setup and running, you want to be running)

[Blue Frost]

It's a annoying thing when you go down and not know for what but a little hour here sometimes I guess shouldn't be complaining about, day or days yes major complaints needed.

[andy1]

very true.. although, in forum time one hour often equals one day:))

[Blue Frost]

OH I know and everyone will vanish that you was talking with to someplace else.
I wonder whats up with DV shutting down for days and no Vin, who ever is in charge now has to know that kills a forum.
Even my forum and my little bit of knowledge is up faster, even with a total rebuild.

[andy1]

i know blue, that's what i'm wondering too.. it's like somebody wants purposely to ruin the community. but why would anybody want that is beyond me.

[Blue Frost]

I was thinking the same thing how it stayed down I tried to stay around but it's hard to when you have people just trolling and badly at that.
LOL where did all the good quality trolls go

[andy1]

oh i think i'm ok with trolls. i mean i'm too used to them blue, i've never minded them much anyway. it's that the board was meant to become an information board for tourists that i didn't like in the end. i've always liked the community feel dv had, and i felt that would have been lost once it became a squeaky clean information board.

also, you know what - ever board is a small representation of its owner:)) so you really have to be of a similar mindset with them to pick their board out of all the internet has to offer nowadays.
