Interesting... "Programmed" out rather than the same ol' blacklisting.

uptownllc · 12-12-2002, 08:39 PM

I guess you can't please everyone all of the time

We did have a recent issue where one of bandwidth providers declared bankruptcy. It caused a major issue with re-ip'ing all of the server on that portion of the network.

But we have our servers on several different providers. Only about 15% of the network was affected. Other than that, I can tell you our dedicated servers have 100% network acessibility at all times and our virtual servers consistently exceed 99%.

Are we perfect? Nope. But we do the best we can to keep our prices low, give better-than-average service and make our customers feel like they are more than a number.

Anyone who has had a bad experience can contact me directly and I'll give them free service to make up for their inconvenience. I have been in this business since 1994 and by no means have any intention of putting my customers in a compromising situation or making a customer pay for service they did not feel met their expectations.

I have never spoken with a customer in alomst 9 years that hasn't experienced problems at one time or another. Our philosophy is pretty simple: We tell you what is wrong regardless of whether or not we think you'll like our answer. We would expect the same from any vendor we use - and we extend the same honesty to our customers.

Like I said, anyone can contact me directly. I'll tell you whatever you need to know about me, my partners, my employees, our network, etc - complete disclosure. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised.

P.S. We are cheaper than most because we've been doing this a long time and tightly manage our overhead and have flexible contracts to allow budget pricing

I am probably spamming

psyko514 · 12-12-2002, 08:55 PM

i use them for virtual hosting, and overall, it's been pretty good...

except for three things:

one, i was recently changed to a newer, faster server (which is good). but i wasn't warned of this. i had to restore all my mysql databases, re-create all my email address, and re-install my cgi scripts.

two, my billing was done thru a paypal subscription. my paypal account was blocked and my subscription was therefore cancelled. i promptly paid thru my girlfriend's paypal acct. however, my uptown acct was suspended two weeks later, because uptown had thought paypal's cancellation of my subscription had meant i wanted my acct cancelled.

third, i made at least a dozen attempts to get some information thru their support forms, all of which went ignored.

other then these minor issues, everything is good.
haven't had any technical problems/issues to speak of.
