site5

[pontifex]

i signed up for site5 web hosting today. and i haven't received an email with any info regarding my site or how to log in or anything.

i signed onto their live chat support almost 2 hours ago and all i get is this:

All operators are currently assisting others. Thanks for your patience. An operator will be with you shortly.


wtf? i want to start getting my site set up...

seriosuly though, send them an email...2 hours is a LONG wait.

Waiting for DNS or a dedicated server sometimes takes time, but I can name many sites that can have a server up and running in minutes (not DNS of course)

pester them

thats the thing, i haven't been able to do anything with my site because i don't have ANY info at all! no ip address or anything!

telnap should offer more space and bandwidth for a cheaper price.

No they shouldn't. I think I already justified my pricing well enough in the thread in Hot Deals.

Let me know when you want your free hosting account cancelled.

Edit: double post.

Of all the web hosts, why did you choose site5?

 

[Regs]

site5 used to be section8.

I think I just answered my own question.

Unrealistic pricing

lots of space and traffic for low price. plus i read a lot of good reviews on webhostingtalk.com.

although i'm not too happy with their customer service ATM.

 

[George P Burdell]

site5's grown too big for their own good. their service isn't as good as it used to be.

 

[Looney]

They've gone downhill in the last year. I wouldn't use them.

Repeat after me, you get what you pay for

Seriously, do you expect to be able to use all that space/bandwidth allocation before they shut you down? This smells of Dreamhost, suspension at any sign of CPU usage. :thumbsdown:

 

[pontifex]

problems i had were resolved this morning

space, possibly. bandwidth, dunno.

why would they shut me down if i don't go over the limits or break their rules?

also, i sent 2 more questions to site5's support and got resolution/answers to my questions in under an hour.

i have 60 days to cancel if i don't like the service. i think i may just have been a bit over excited when i made this post. probably searching for hours for a decent hosting service made me a a little grumpy.
