I feel the same way about Network Solutions, they deliberately delete my PHP Conifg files and host me on servers without enough memory. Whenever I call tech support, they just say that they're relocating my files but "cant tell me when it will be done". I can't even get a basic install of Drupal to work reliably on their Unix hosting accounts because the servers time out after one hit, and its not because of my skills. My google analytics figures are horrible because the hosting is down 45% of the time. Its also amazing how horrible their admin account interfaces are with booby traps to try to get you to "opt in" to services as well. And mysteriously, the "Auto Renew" option selected itself just this year when I've always had it off since I started the account years ago. It charged my credit card, not even worth trying to get that undone... The concept of Ethics is lost on the web hosting industry. sigh
- elithrar 16y agoSometimes it's worth either paying someone for the convenience (ie. paying a decent provider) or doing it yourself. 55% uptime is horrible, but I'd suggest that instead of complaining you either shell out some more & move away (Drupal doesn't require anything special) or set up a VPS with a decent provider like Slicehost or Linode and go from there. I don't mean to preach, but I read so many 'hosting horror stories' where the end-user just doesn't seem to want to do anything about it.
