After the unsatisying experience of hosting www.ingoal.info with pinchpenny and the related problems (namely that the domain was unreachable from many ip-ranges) if decided to exercise my right to cancel the hosting within the 14 day trial period. Whether or not I’ll see my money again and more important, when, is a different – I’ll keep you updated.
I switched to Total Choice Hosting which was recommended by many people. I was really surprised to find the account ready to go only hours after I placed my order (and due to the fact that I had already changed the nameservers I can already access Ingoal.info by name and not only by IP – hopefully you can already too :-)).
Still need to tweak a thing or two, but I’m really looking forward to running this domain with a reliable host with a responsive support staff in case I need them.
The new hosting package includes:
- 450MB space :-)
- unlimited MySQL tables
- all the usual stuff (php, …)
…and with a price tag of 4$ per month (monthly payment option) I’m more than pleased…
Who else recommended it?
Time for me to flame PinchPenny too for their non-existent support.
Primarily you (at SPF)…then I went out to check numerous hosting forums and almost everyone that had something to do with them was satisfied…So I said thumbs up and go go go ;-)
About pinchpenny: too true…good luck with your refund…
Glad you are back up and running!
I’ll keep your new host in mind for when I next need a host again. Let’s see if this one lasts over a week :D
Hehe :-)
If they live up to their reputation this will be my host for loooong years to come ;-)
Judy’s (at PinchPenny) a nice lady! Lucky thing you gave me her email I got a refund hours after I sent her my PayPal address. If only they had her right from the start.
Anyway, as an aside, Ingo, your sesscvs***.com domain – do you still have stuff on there? I’m closing my account at SP server (I’m not sure if you’re aware of this). I assume you’d want to make backups and stuff. Write me if necessary :)
Groovy…glad you got that sorted out…
CVS: ouch…now that is a bugger (I totally forgot about you leaving the “mag ten”-server…that can cause major trouble for me… :-(
I’m going to mail you right away…
