I am not an adult hosting guy, but I do work extensively on VPN's using frame relay or ip enabled frame or Citrix....any of the downtime you guys are talking about would certainly destabilize "mission critical" operations in the business world. VPN's require 99.9% uptime and there better be a damn good reason for the .01 it's down or a CEO of a REAL company would be chewing your ass. I don't understand why adult hosting cannot match the stability we demand in the business world. Downtime of any kind is simply not tolerated, here it seems a way of life.
I can imagine having this conversation with Ed Rust, president of State Farm insurance, he would simply show you the door and get a real hosting company. Of course the number of OC-48 pipes they have going into their home office would amaze you.
On a positive note, I haven't ever had any downtime with Sinhost(that equals zero, by the way) and they are actually nice...Their pricing structure makes Like Whoa look pitiful and Brad is always nice to me....even when I am a week late paying my bill. He does send a few well worded emails, tho.
I am not getting paid to promote Sinhost, I have had four or so hosts and some have been good, couple have been terrible and Sinhost is probably the best I have been with. Brad has never taken me to lunch or anythng, and I think that would be in order. Free food always tastes better.
On thing I will say, is that Brad and Corey take pride in the quality of the product they deliver...unlike many hosts who give you the impression they are doing you a favor by granting you hosting. Thier pride in their work reflects in their results. Kinda corny I know, but that does not make it less true.
