Worst hosting provider ever?

Monday, November 5th, 2007 at 7:20 pm

So! It’s been a hell of a week, hasn’t it? (and no, I don’t mean Halloween)

Last week I was informed (?) by my hosting provider that tada! all hosting accounts have to be closed. Like, CLOSED. I knew they had problems, security leaks and hack attacks and God knows what else, but shutting down our accounts completely? And informing us only in the morning of the same day? That’s absurd! What’s more, I had paid my Paypal invoice during the last night. Sometimes I kick myself for being so timely.

What’s more is that I can’t see any way of pausing / cancelling my subscription in my Control Panel, so I had to open a ticket just to ask how I could get the hell out! Needless to say, they still haven’t answered.

Thank God I had bought a 3-month hosting package at Lunarpages.com, meant to be used as a sandbox initially. It’s not the most perfect of providers, kinda too slow, but gives everything and then some in terms of and they have decent support.

So all my weekend was spent on moving blogs and finally completing the restore procedure from my LaCie to my shiny new Leopard machine. Which kicks camel’s ass, by the way, the only stable thing in my tech life during the last week.
