    How about free hosting tech support, no matter the hosting company.

    Thats right. I have been around Hosting for 10 years now and know the worst thing the customers go through. no one seems to have great support at night. So for the month of march I am offering free hosting tech support. No obligation, offer good from 8 pm wst to 6 am wst on weekdays. I do not care who you host with. just contact me so I know who you are and I will unleash my staff on your issues.

                          Ycaza you know I do not have any issues with you, I think your a cool guy but out of all people why would you go and post something like that?

                          We have excellent night staff including myself at nights. I understand what your saying maybe most host's do not but please do not just go out there saying no one has good night support.

                          Thx peace

                            Strange offer? My host has the best support no matter what time it is if they didnt I wouyld leave, but I guess there might be some people here that are stupid enough to be with a host that doesn't have good 24/7 support?

                                        Ah. I was just wondering if you guys were offering services like EasyServerManagement.com does for a monthly fee or by project, etc.. for people who are hosted with unmanaged servers.

                                          Definitely going to keep that in mind, though your old buddies at OC3/PacficRack are doing a good job so far.

                                          Spend you some brain.

                                                  Caz I love you and all but WTF? really?
                                                  this is not pointed at anyone in particular, I am offering a service to people that feel they don't get enough help. every host has a great day guy, I got those too, but I have heard enough complaints from people over my 9 years in the isp hosting business, that I know there is a need. If I can help them, I will. if everyones support is great at that time, then who has to worry? I will have no one to help and my night people can be bored. thats wtf. no dirty pool, no tellin people lies, no bullshit, no underhanded motive. free help, to anyone. nights, on weekdays. shit if I were needing help at night as a hosting customer, I would take me up on it, wouldn't you?

                                                    And all I did is offer redundancy to his great idea, which any good host should offer anyway. :-)

                                                      Give the public some redundancy for good wills sake.

                                                      You know even if ycazza's idea is kinda strange and off the wall you guys really take the cake when it comes to low class bottom feeders.

                                                        Are other hosting companies afraid their clients will appreciate better support than they get at "home"?

                                                          It's easy to offer extra additional support for potential customers when trying to pull them over from another company. The true test is whether or not that support stays once you are a customer and actually need help.

                                                              Oh, I agree. Whether or not it persists will remain to be seen if anyone moves to a new host and tries it out.

                                                              Same thing when companies offer specials to get you in the door. Existing old and long-term customers aren't offered the same deals and get stuck with a grandfathered deal that costs them more for much less. Many of them do this.

                                                              What do you have to lose, if you aren't already getting adequate support or in at least one situation apparently, any support at all? Try a new hosting company and see if it's the right fit.

Existing old and long-term customers aren't offered the same deals and get stuck with a grandfathered deal that costs them more for much less. Many of them do this.

The true test is whether or not that support stays once you are a customer and actually need help.

In all fairness to SI I know for fact that they have offered their services to others that had unmanaged servers and had an issue that was being difficult. So I know this "unique" offer has been made before.

It dosen't seem to have made any other real hosts give it the time of day.

Whenever I have had an issue 24 hours a day I've been answered within the hour. Which has been only a handful of times i've had to ask for something and I've been with them for about 3 years. They never really have an issue. But sadly they have finally come up short and I might need your expertise.

It dosen't seem to have made any other real hosts give it the time of day.
                                                                                                    The bottom line is if anyone is not getting the support they think is good for what they need or are paying for they should be looking for a better solution anyway.
                                                                                                    i guess you didn't see my post, or the other hosting companies posts either (since you say its only PR and OC3)
                                                                                                    if i was worried about having bad support, i wouldnt post about it, i would drive down to my NOC and do something about it.

                                                                                                    i am completely confident in my support, just like Caz is of his own.
