Webbrain had the the misfortune of having to experience a DDOS attack first hand. A DDos attack is when a number of computers make frequent connections to a web server in hopes of slowing it down and finally crashing it. Lucky for Webbrain his host was on top of the problem and migrated his account to a new server when they realized the attack would not stop.

The Micfo support staff had us migrated to a new server that afternoon and we have experienced no interruption of service since then.

When we were on our previous host, I was lucky to get a response, much less immediate service. So as far as my experience goes - Kudos to Micfo and the support staff.

alltaken provides a sparse review of Synhosting, stating that the uptime has been great, without a single outage. Also, he must have had a really bad previous host because he seemed surprised that he hadn’t lost any data from his MySQL database. I’d hope that wouldn’t be a problem!

More than 8 months I did not notice that my site was down even single time!

Also MYSQL databases, never lost a single data.

Alexro did not enjoy his stay Citrexhosting and ultimately left for greener pastures in 2007. The problems that he encountered ranged from support tickets that were left open (35 at the time of him moving) and problems with the site becoming unreachable.

He did enjoy the free month of hosting that was refunded to him due to a major outage, but it was not enough to keep him on their servers.

I signed up with Cirtexhosting in October 2006. I had the Economy plan, with 20 Gb disk space and 1.000 Gb monthly bandwidth for 9,99$ every month.

I was put on server Baby. I encountered a lot of problems since signup and until I left. Server stability was always the source of problems. If you browse a website hosted on that server you will see that very often you receive Connection timed up error.

Nitratec02 said that he experienced a couple of outages form his web host Levi1 in one week’s time. He then tried to cancel his account, but couldn’t get his money back.

I came across Levi1 thinking they wouldn’t oversell and the uptime and reliability looked good to.

Until the server went down twice in one week!

Personally I think they oversell - even though they dont sell unlimited packages.

Another thing their support isn’t very good. It says 24/7 support even though there is only 1 guy running it and he never answers (well he does probably once in a blue moon).
