OT aaa-webhost.net

[Chris Harris]

Hi.

Does anybody know anything about the current status of this lot at
http://www.aaa-webhost.net or http://www.freehostingweb.com

I have my personal site there, but they moved servers a month or two back
and now the site is down a lot, guest book MySQL is broken,. I can't access
the cpanel and can't get any response from them.

Anyone know anything?

Cheers
Chris

Then you must move your site - but you knew that anyway.

Looked at the hosting NGs but no traffic on them, therefore didn't expect a
prompt answer like I got from you kind sir!

I know but I thought that maybe people might recognise or or other of the
names.

Yea but where to? I want LAMP and don't want to pay too much.. Been looking
at this lot http://www.accuwebhosting.com who seem reasonable. and they
guarantee 99.93% uptime - not bad only about six hours a year of
downtime at worst!

I don't do LAMP but I hear good things about http://page-zone.com or if you
have many domains take a look at: http://httpme.com

Looks good, but their payment system won't work for me. I don't have a
state in my address, but I do have a PO box and a street name and I
can't enter both!

Paypal doesn't list my country in it's addess field so I can't set up
one of those..

I ran into a similar problem with godaddy. Their system quite happily
lets you enter a country other than the USA but then insists on you
entering a state from a list of US states..

Like many internet companies they are complete bollocks with their
geography !! Or is that just the US based ones?

Try the contact page. The boss is called Jim. You can tell him I won't
give him any more good press unless he makes it work for you ;o) I suspect
he has a way of doing business that doesn't involve the automated system -
Page Zone is getting bigger, but it's not that big yet.

Paypal doesn't list my country in it's addess field

which is what? just for the sake of curiosity.

Fortunately they are a 'me too' company - there are plenty alternative
sources for their products/services.

I fear the USA is just about to come in for quite a lot of bad press from
the chatterati - the top three sources of spam in the UK are:
o USA
o China
o Korea

but now I fear we have wandered way to far off-topic for this group.

I'll look in again next time I'm looking. I liked what I saw there.

The Falkland Islands. Not that big I know ;-)

Thanks for the replies.

Any Cpanel host (like us), should have no problem with LAMP.
