I use pacific rack with a dedicated server, much like i have dedicated servers at other webhosts, including working on adding one at mojohost (i like to spread the luv around).
I have read up to page 12 of the other forum and stopped.
I read that part of the "scam" was that those that thought they were paying for a dedicated server, were actually vhosted up on a shared platform.
i can understand how that might feel like someone got ripped off, but if you noticed the performance of your server was not matching the specs, or checking the loading and things didn't line up, then you could suspect something wrong, complain, and if you didn't get the right answer you take your business elsewhere.
"Alex" did a great job in getting my dedicated server online when i was complaining about some ssh connectivity issues, that tech support was having trouble figuring out.
My email responses were always timely, and despite some initial glitches on the startup, the server has been cranking along nicely.
I follow the simple belief that if someone hasn't wronged me, delivered what they said they were going to do, then all is good.. as I look at it somewhat with blinders.
Hosting is different than billing, because with hosting, you can switch off in one location and switch on at another alot easier than trying to do the task of moving rebills.
I appreciate brad's heads-up here, but as for me, it doesn't change my position to use them. I hold them to the same standards as i hold any of my other hosting providers, that if there is problem, they fix it.. if they f*ck up, i move my business.
Fight the unsolicited response!
