after viewing all the positive comments concerning SoftSys, i decided to have a look on their plans and they seem really interesting.
So, i sent an e-mail on their general sales address (sales@softsyshosting.com) with my questions (actually a lot of them) on Monday and i still haven't got any response?
Is their e-mail address valid? Does anyone else experiences delay support issues with SoftSys?
I have been trying to figure out Windows hosting as described in my thread:[url]
To end off the saga and for the benefit of the WHT community, I will make 5 threads about some hosts that caught my interest to collect information and any thoughts/opionions/experiences/comments that anyone might have on each host:[url]I will add some posts on SoftSys for this thread.[url[url]Windows 2008
Excellent ASP.NET
Community Support Forum
5 SQL Server 2005 at 3 gig total.
5 gig space
150 gig transfer
5 Domains
no static IP
dedicated app pool is $4/mth extra (included above)
I have searched through WHT for Softsys
The amount is not a lot of useful info but everthing seems very positive
The SoftSys forums are new so if you want to investigate this good new SoftSys feature...[url]
This is a 3 month review for my host. There website is located at [url].
As a .net developer it was crucial to me that I recieved all the features I required for powerful websites. SoftSys provided me with exactly that. There plans have plenty of space/band for a small site like mine and they offer mssql 2005 databases. They also have all the versions of .net (upto 3.5 which is the latest).
There support is phenominal. My suppor tickets are answered within 1 - 2 hours. Half the time, it's within the hour. I've submitted about 2 critical tickets. One was the mail settings on the server and allowing a different port for my application. And yesterday night (saturday around 11:30 pm) i submitted another ticket that had to deal with permissions. I was definately not looking for a reply at that time of the day, but i did recieve a "we are looking into this" 30 minutes later, and "your problem has been fixed" about 1 hour later.
I am a university student so my budget is low. I was on the lowest plan and therefore only had one domain allowed. However I needed to setup an additional domain. Instead of buying another plan, I emailed them and explained that I am unable to buy another account (or another domain to attach to the account). I was very suprised to see the reply email. Rick had knocked off 50% of the additional domain price, and added it to my invoice. however he also stated that I can pay that whenever it is convinient for me. This was about a month ago. I will be paying my invoice at the end of the week .
If i remember, I will definatly try to do a 6 month review. but for now, good job softsys.
