I am searching for a new host. I have been using Prohosters, but their system crashed the other day, and they have been down over 33 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prohosters Forum - Water Down

Any virtual hosting recommendations?

Thanks

33 hours downtime?

How can a host have 33 hours of downtime?

FATPad · 03-02-2002, 11:39 AM

33 hours?

What are they averaging over the last 3 months? Like 40% uptime?

I had a few domains there for a couple of months starting in November and all it was was a string of emails explaining their downtime reasons and how it would soon be fixed. Routers, hosting facilities, server problems, hard drive problems, more hosting facility problems, they forgot to register their own domain name (hehe, that killed me), and on.

They should just kill that Water cluster hosting and move on. They're obviously never going to get it to work right.

How much GB will you use?

We're cheap when you use more then 150GB a month.

We offer 0.75 per GB when you use 150GB or more. Use 300GB? Then get a ded server for a one time setuep fee of 50 dollar, and still pay 0.75 per GB

law,

I signed up with ISPRIME a few weeks ago for a few of my domains and so far so good.

Jordan is quite helpful.

And he's the fastest typist I've ever heard too.
(not that has anything to do with their up time..well..maybe a little)

Agreed, they cannot, and hence this search.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I really appreciate it. I will take a look at all of your recommendations, plus some additional research, before I make my decision.
