History

[bobquasit]

My web host, Fuitadnet, has been acquired by a larger company. Perhaps coincidentally, I have been unable to FTP into my own site (from anywhere), and cannot reach my CPanel.

I've had this happen too many times - signed up with a new host, only to have something happen to the management, after which everything goes to hell. I hold my tongue during one disaster after another, until finally they do something unforgivable. Then I back up some poor schmoe in the host's forum who is being torn to pieces for making a mild complaint about shitty service and incredibly rude treatment from customer "service"...and I get banned. The banning drives me completely insane, and I leave for a new host...

...and history repeats itself.

Well, I still recommend hostingvermont.com (http://www.hostingvermont.com)
for website hosting. I've had zero problems with them and so far they've avoided being swallowed...been with them Since April 1st 2001 (after leaving Yahoo who had swallowed Simplenet, because they no longer offered the same services for any price never mind one I could afford).

And you know me, I've faced the same problems you have over the years with web hosts....

I have to admit that hostingvermont sounds tempting, but they're a LOT more expensive than Fuitadnet, and seem to have a lot less in the way of extras.

Fuitadnet was able to solve the FTP mystery, so that's a step in the right direction. I'm hoping that their new owner is telling the truth, and that this is just a temporary adjustment.

Still, it's good to know that there's a reliable host out there if things go to hell. Thanks!
