When To Move On From A Webhost
I’ve been a happy A Small Orange customer for a few years now. They’re my choice for everything international, so to speak – I host my Swedish projects in Sweden. I get CPanel access and the freedom I crave to make my work as a webdesigner easier.
Problem is, they’re having lots of issues with downtime. I expect that it’s not something that everyone experiences, but the server I’m on – Ana Lucia by the way – is having weekly hiccups now. The support is great, they get right on the problem, reboots and whatnot, but I’ve had it. I’m working online, I publish websites, I can’t have them go up and down like a yoyo.
I’m giving A Small Orange this month, and this month only. If they don’t cope with these problems, I’ll take my accounts there – more than one – and move someplace else. This is not a host I can recommend right now, and that’s never a good sign.
