Webair moved one of my sites to a new server on Thursday morning.

The site was up and running fine, from a user point of view, but when I went to make some changes and do maintenance, I realized nothing using perl or mySql was working.

The server had not been properly configured, and was missing a bunch of perl libraries, and my account had not been synced for mySql.

Three hours with tech support didn't fix it.

This morning, I hit up live support, and it was fixed within about 5 minutes.

Sometimes, support can be hit or miss. If you have a critical problem, call them on the phone, and it will be fixed immediately - never an issue with telephone support.

Since this wasn't a major issue, I just waited till morning. Worked out fine.

Use the phone :-)

We just switched our entire operations over to Webair- dedicated plan with 70 domains.

It took us a while to get things organized for the move, and Mike was cool enough to waive the first month's bill(since we hadn't actually used the server yet).

Very cool move seeing as most hosting companies would have billed us anyways.

I have never had to wait for things to be fixed when I call them on the phone at 4am on Sat. (which is when I usually do).

Speed = Good.
Support = Good
Options = Good
Price = Fantastic!

I would not recommend them. They repeatedly turned off my mysql access (surprise! every time I would try to enter phpMyAdmin, I was locked out), and had issues with some custom scripts just dropping dead.

I would rank them below IS Prime, CaveCreek, Phatservers and Adult Hosting.

What was there reasons? Outgrew virtual and wouldn't move to dedicated?

Custom scripts? That explains alot of the issue

I tried them once. The support was the very worst I have ever had. I guess that they figured that they gave us a great deal on a dedicated box, so they would save the money and not respond to us for CS.

But that is what happened to us. A lot of people use them.

Webair is quality, fast hosting, but there are better deals out there for high quality equipment and quality Tier 1 bandwidth.

Last time I checked Webair is a business...A company that offers web hosting...Just because their business is servicing the internet...Doesn't mean thats the only means of contact...They respond quickly to trouble tickets and online support from my personal experience...But if I want something done or I am not 100% satisfied with the timing...I pick up the telephone and call them...I get right thru to a live person that can physically fix any problems that I might be having...

I'm sure you email your internet provider for questions regarding your internet? No you fucken call them because you want service right then...
