I checked out AxisHost. Guess what? Tina’s there, but she can’t take over anny Afforable-screwed customers until 2006. Talk about a bullshit deal.

I gave her a piece of my mind. Now I really need a hosting company.

AH was great, but Tina must be completely out of the picture. The new setup sucks eggs bigtime. Constant downtime, changes in email server names, bad certificates, you name it. They got rid of the great IRC chat desk and replaced it with some shite firm that walks you through canned tutorials, probably in India. Complete waste of time.

Occasionally a ticket will end up with one of the old staff, and I get a helpful answer, but it’s the exception now, not the norm.

Too bad, they were great. Now I’m also Looking for a new provider with some personal, hands-on service.

I agree. They’ve gone completely down hill.

Boy is this affordablehost screwing up. I am trying to do a major overhall for a client I recommended to them.

They have restricted access to the site files, I can only get to 2000 of the 5000+ files on the site and have serious egg on my face with my client. Last month it took me three days to get them to “allow” me access to all the site files, (I lost 3 days work @ $45/hr) and today I am once again facing the same BS from them along with arrogant replies that try and tell me how to do my job but still refuse me access to all the site files.

“Oh where has Tina Peters gone” I though all was lost but this afternoon I found her again. She has another hosting company “axishost.com”

I am moving all my clients from affordablehost to her asap and saying goodbye to the BS.

I use Hurricane Electric (he.net). No worries about the unlimited domains there — they let you edit your DNS record directly.

Not a very control-panelly place though. If you want something done, ssh to your bash shell.

Hi Paulo. Take a look at A Small Orange (asmallorange.com). I’ve been with them for a year now and the uptime of their servers are great. Support has been very responsive so far.

Check out hostica.com, my hosting company. They recently upgraded their services to include more space and more traffic while keeping the same prices.
