I left because after being a customer for 3 years, they expanded and bought fancy new servers with all new hosting plans. That should be a good thing, except -- they didn't offer these new servers or plans to existing customers (or at least not me). They offered these newer, cheaper + more feature plans only to new customers.... I contacted customer service and asked to be upgraded to the new server/new hosting plan. I was told I would have to: 1. make back-ups of the VPS and cancel my current account 2. sign-up for a new account 3. transfer my files over to the new VPS Hmmm... those would be the same steps to sign up with a brand new host. I asked them if they could set-up a new server first, transfer my files there, and then let me know so I could propagate my domains with no downtime. To me, this seemed like a reasonable request... but they said "no" there was no way to do it that way. I went back and forth with support trying to get a way to get upgraded for free and with no downtime -- I figured being a long time customer (3 years is a life time in hosting), they would be happy to help me out. Nope. I actually liked that host enough, I stuck around for months, and would just stick a new support ticket in every once and a while hoping that someone in sales,support, or management would realize they should be helping make their existing customers happy. Nope. I figured, why would I stay with a host that wasn't willing to make upgrading my plan easier than getting a brand new host? So I got a brand new host -- and they transfered my VPS over for me (gladly, btw), without downtime. :P So why did you leave your last host? Toni on "What Made You Choose Your Web Host?" http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/topic/what-was-the-deciding-factor-for-choosing-your-web-host#post-32 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:37:05 +0000 Toni 32@http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/ By "deciding factor" I mean which feature/quality of a host made you choose them. Price, scripting requirements, support options, reputation, etc. ? When choosing my last VPS provider, I was stuck between a handful different hosting companies all with similar price ranges and features. I searched through oodles of forum posts gathering customer reviews, asked webmaster friends for their recommendations, tested download times, etc. I also prefer to pay by PayPal ( I still love DreamHost, but <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/01/15/dreamhost_bills_customers_years_worth_of_trouble/">this</a> is a good reason not to have a CC hooked up to your account. ) -- so I only hosts that accept PayPal. After all this, I was still left with a couple of choices -- but then lucked out (working on this site helps) and found a good promo running for one of the hosts. So, my deciding factor was a coupon. I guess I just like to feel that I got a good deal :) So, what was your deciding factor when you chose your host? Ben on "Is this site still active?" http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/topic/is-this-site-still-active#post-643 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:41:02 +0000 Ben 643@http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/ I've sent a couple of emails now about updating incorrect data and have had no reply in over a week now. Does anyone still manage this website? I have several IP addresses which point to the datacenter, but really they should show my company. The DC is only providing the racks & connection. Has anyone managed to get their data corrected? I have submitted corrections to no avail. It is really quite annoying when this site may be costing hosting companies business. Is there an API that we could use to update our IP addresses? Or some way hosts can easily correct/update data? mrhcharlie on "$5/month & $ 7 Windows reseller hosting at Myresellerhome.com" http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/topic/5month-038-7-windows-reseller-hosting-at-myresellerhomecom#post-642 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 05:09:49 +0000 mrhcharlie 642@http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/ $5/month reseller hosting at Myresellerhome.com At MyResellerHome.com we provide a complete solution to reseller hosting.

I contacted Epic Games and they have stated the image is copyrighted to me, even though they own the trademark and intellectual properties to the Gears of War franchise. I found out last week that Paul Jr. Designs (PJD) is selling t-shirts with my design on them. Here is my original: <a href="http://crotale.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2pmfw3" rel="nofollow">http://crotale.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2pmfw3</a> and here is the T-shirt graphic: <a href="http://pauljrdesigns.com/product/5B8/PJ-PJD1726/black/." rel="nofollow">http://pauljrdesigns.com/product/5B8/PJ-PJD1726/black/.</a> Zoom in on both images and you will see the logo is the same. I contacted PJD, where I was informed that Epic Games provided the logo artwork. I checked with Epic and they deny sending that particular graphic or having used the graphic. I have a good working relationship with Epic and have no reason to believe they would deceive me or misappropriate my artwork. I have sent a DMCA "takedown" notice to PJD's webhost but have not heard anything back from them yet. I am not looking for compensation, but I do not want my art being sold without permission or credit due to me as being the artist. Do I have legal rights in this regard or do I simply have to roll over and allow this company to commercially sell my artwork without my permission, credit for the work, and no compensation? adamslc8 on "Best Hosts for WordPress" http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/topic/best-hosts-for-wordpress#post-547 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 18:16:24 +0000 adamslc8 547@http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/ I have to make a decision for a client about where to get a hosting account. I would be interested to hear from WordPress "devsigners" about the hosts where they have WordPress sites: What version of WordPress do they offer to install for new accounts as of today? What version of PHP do they run? Do they offer free scheduled backups? What has been your experience with their support? What restrictions do they have on space and bandwidth? What account control panel do they run (cpanel, etc.) Thanks in advance. johnbr on "Strange behavior with one of my sites" http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/topic/strange-behavior-with-one-of-my-sites#post-544 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 23:22:04 +0000 johnbr 544@http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/ Hello, The company I just started working for owns both 'freebeepay.com' and 'freebiepay.com'. They are both registered through GoDaddy.com. when I visit <a href="https://www.freebeepay.com," rel="nofollow">https://www.freebeepay.com,</a> it works fine, and the domain name resolves when I ping it. But when I enter that site in your system, you seem to feel that it doesn't exist. Can you tell me if there's a misconfiguration on my end? marcelruhf on "New ideas regarding WHT.com" http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/topic/new-ideas-regarding-whtcom#post-541 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 17:17:11 +0000 marcelruhf 541@http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/ Hallo, this might require sponsors, but I thought it might be a good idea to share this idea. WHT.com gives away coupons for those who write quality reviews regarding web hosts. Users, while particularly targeting those that never had any web hosting experience, should have the possibility to sign up for a host of their choce which is listed on WHT.com (via a special link). The user will submit recorded telephone conversations with the host's customer support and email support requests are submitted by a form provided by WHT. Those conversations are saved into a database, which can then be used (by WHT Staff) to give the host a rating. Forthermore, the user will be provided with testing scripts (PHP memory testing, server speed testing, etc...), and those logfiles should then be submitted to WHT. If a user does not "cheat" and is satisfied with that host, he/she may get a 6 month free hosting coupon from that company. illegal3alien on "Shared -> VPS" http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/topic/shared-gt-vps#post-530 Sat, 07 May 2011 22:51:55 +0000 illegal3alien 530@http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/ I'm currently at Dreamhost and like the idea of a cheap VPS. Linode looks pretty good. I have a little bit of experience with CentOS and Ubuntu. Shared would be ok too as long as there is a decent amount of control. (custom php.ini, ability to get perl, python, ruby, and mongodb running) Requirements: 8GB disk space 5GB bandwidth Ability to use nginx SSH access PHPmyAdmin (or ability to set it up) Control panel doesn't really make a difference to me as long as it's functional. No control panel isn't a problem. (Possibly setup webmin)
