Brinkster Sucks
Mar 2, 2008
I recently bought a hosting plan from Brinkster (by the fact that they had provided very good services in the past) and when now I am to release a site for my client, oh God, the MySQL server is down most of the times. When contacted their Live Support team, they say that they are monitoring that particular server and asking me to hold patience.
They really don't understand the meaning of 99.99% uptime.
Now all I have to do is postpone the release date of the site and sit back, hearing comments from my client.
I am the one who gave good comments about Brinkster few days back.
My site: www[dot]ews-store[dot]com
If you are able to get into the homepage, it worked out for you.

Is there anyone with a bad experience with Iweb support or I am the only one?
I can't believe it %4#:-(
Hosting over 100 sites with VIP clients.
We have 2 servers with Iweb Technologies in Montreal and our main server is down since 2 days.
We had 2 disks in RAID and they tell us both disk broked. How can it be in same time? and it take so long to get a short job done
I am so upset.
Never go with a datacenter who is your provider/competitor in same time. We suspect them to try to ruin our business, I cannot see any other raison why.
Who wants our business I am ready to rent a dedicated server now
with Plesk ? You better have a strong and quick support.

I had an annual VPS server contract with adiungo, that wasn't the best service, but it was cheap, so it was correct. Then they moved my account to EMC (emcvps.com), and after 3 weeks, my VPS stopped working.
I talked with them on the online "support" chat, by phone, by mail, by ticket, like 30 times.... and I got *NOTHING* more than excuses, ... "the admin will look for it and we will inform you by mail...." etc etc... I'm still waiting (that was 1.5 months ago.)
I have like 6 months remaining in my contract, but I don't want to know anything more about them.
I moved to a dedicated server, and rescued my backup.
Never go for these people if you want to do serious business....

I saw alphared banner and ordered one VPS
But it is bad.
After 4 days I still cannot use. I contact suportors but they dont fix problem. I reboot VPS but wait 2 hours, still "is starting" Maybe wait 24 hours
I think webhostingtalk remove their banner, if not I think there is lot of victims like me.
Never use alphared.com VPS, it is #1 in bad.

I have been with many hosts from shared hosting to dedicated until i fled to ThePlanet...
I'll go straight to the point...
Their so called "Alpha Monitoring and Security bundle" is like there isn't really any. 24/7/365? LOL..
I started with ThePlanet on May 1 until now and my sites have been down for about 70+ hours total because of Dos attacks.
Their support gives passes me back an forth to different department and they can't even fix my server!!!
So much for their security bundle which sucks!!! like there isn't really any.
Too bad i can't post all the responses I got from them in TP Orbit.

Ive tried emailing regarding about the servers which was down for quite sometime. Worststill, there isnt any piece of reply from them.
Couldnt log in and made some request of assistance... Till now, What I get is nothing!
To make a matter worst, they reset up the whole website of mine and left the Entire page empty (With their cr@p intro page)
Fortunately i took the damn cheap yearly plan, dont know whats going to happen to my website if i pay for some higher monthly price plans (as i was once considering of paying a higher price plan).
Ive decided to move to another RELIABLE SERVER which offer a relatively cheap price but far much more RELIABLE.
Its just to much cr@p ive got to face for such an UNRELIABLE Hosting company

First of all just would like to say that i've left the service now, but im making this quick review because i forgot to take out the server from the 2 monitoring services that i use and after more than a month after i left the server is still having almost daily downtimes, so i thought hummm good enough reason to make this review, that and i thought from the start that they did a very poor job, also i do have 2 vps on jaguarpc and unlike the SDX, they work just fine, with very little if any downtime.
Shortly after christmas Jaguarpc was doing another especial on their SDX shared accounts, the SDX (or semi-dedicated) basically they say is a shared account with loads of space and bandwidth with very little people on the server, and so i had some free time to launch a site i was working on and i thought it was a good idea, why not... especially at the time i was considering the "clustered" stuff from mediatemple/mosso and such, but since jaguarpc had always given a good service, it sounded like a good idea, the setup was quick enough and i transfered the site (wordpress based), after less than a week the downtimes started, you know the kind... 15min here 10min there and this was 2 or 3 times a day, so after a week i contacted support and they said it was a user that was doing that and they took care of it... fine
The problem is that this kept on going, sometimes 30min or more, sometimes specific services went down (ftp and such) and i noticed it... mostly because of the monitoring services and because i was working on the site and it kept giving errors like not connecting to the database or the ftp getting cut out... so i contacted support again and they said the obvious "everything was fine", great... i'm imagining things... a couple of weeks went by and i get a mail from support saying that my site has been suspended and it was the cause of all the downtime... my wordpress site that barely has visits and is barely working... well that was the last straw, i disagree but its hard to prove i'm right, so the only action i could take is i closing that account and moved elsewhere (actually to imountain.com were i have that exact same site and 2 more and paying basically half of what i was paying jaguarpc and all of them work without a problem, load pretty fast compared with the SDX... pretty happy with it)
So to finish up, more than a month after i left the server, it still has almost daily downtimes (cause i get the alerts on my mail), and both monitoring services say about the same, this last week that server has a around a 98% uptime with about 20 downtimes, comparing with all the servers i use from 4 other providers, it has by far the worst record, but i guess it was my site to blame for this.
