How is Candid Hosting's network uptime & support nowadays?

perfect

Outstanding. We have not had network downtime with our servers the entire time we have been with Candid (over a year). :thumbsup

Much improved from what i hear these days

Excellent

There's an old saying in Tennessee ? I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee ? that says, fool me once, shame on ? shame on you. Fool me ? you can't get fooled again.

That has all changed now & Candid runs at near perfection. :)

It's always good when a company sees they have a problem and proactivly improve...

We experienced serious growing pains. I have been here for 4 1/2 years and in late 2002 and into 2003 we had a large influx of clients and it was hard to keep up with the growth. Some mistakes were made and some clients were not given the level of service they should have been given. When we were purchased by a large hosting company a little over a year ago we started back at the beginning and the first thing that was done was an overhaul of our network. The next thing that was done was hiring more admins. We have awesome admins who have been here for a long time who have now helped staff and train additional admins so that we now have a high level of support 24 hours a day. We are here to stay and there are be exciting changes coming soon. You should see some big announcements starting in late Dec into January. Thanks to you guys who have stuck with us.

good to hear you guys improved! :thumbsup

it's a-ok. pretty darn good.

huh?

Bush

worst i've ever experienced... 10-20 minutes of downtime almost daily... killed all of my traffic on my tgps... haven't been happier since switching to rachshack... 0% downtime in over a year with them...

ouch

certainly glad I left, tech support was awful... hope they improved

Techsupport of candidhosting is great in my experience.

Usually they do response very fast to e-mails or calls.

That's my experience of the last 2 years.

This might help you

interesting...

not really..

i have servers at the vancouver colo (i believe netnation was swallowed by hostway who was swallowed by candid) .. sounds like a bible story !


either way - not one red blip on my monitoring in 2 months. 2 months may not be long, but all our other hosts have had at least one tiny infraction in this time.

Obviously you are a noob.,... Hostway swallowed candid:2 cents:

I don't know about this, I haven't had a second of downtime with Reality Check Network

There were some glitches in the beginning but Candid have done nothing but the bsst by us. Great support and great uptimes for the boxes we have there.

Again ths thing pops up.

If that thing was anywhere near true...do you think any of those hosts would be in business?

There are errors in that thing, and hosts with more than a handful of customers will show more downtime than they really have. To many factors, like shutting off a deadbeats account who is running this thing will rack up hours of down time...that is just one failure in this monitor...

Oh and KON (cotsios)..dont forget you still owe us $$

That shit choker put up is hilarious, my ISPrime boxes are monitored and I am paged if they go down. With what he reports I would be puttin batteries in my pager daily.:1orglaugh

dwhs is 4th, not bad :winkwink:

you really dont believe that site do you?:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Of course :1orglaugh

:winkwink:

betterbeup is as useless as tits on a bull. Or should I say, about as useless as people who rip you off. Good luck getting the money you're owed.

Actually I think Hostway is very big compared to the others you listed.

hrm - check the "i believe" .. altho its more like "i don't care to follow the corp history" ;)

as far as noob goes, believe or not i was a netnation tech monkey about 4, 4.5 years ago ? for over a year, too.

just didn't really follow what happened after - until they got bought and became affordable

either way - we colocate, but the network is solid
