Is Ripplehost still down?

[austin316]

I have used them before and liked what I got. I loved cpanel. I tried e-rice but did not like it at all. Any other alternatives?

Do not renew with RippleHost.com

Look at Telnap.com instead which has a web hosting sale.

They also offer cPanel with Fantastico which RippleHost does NOT.

Welcome to the AT forums

Don't do it.

I've used them happily for two years, but hey my time there is almost up for a year and I think I may bail, given what people are saying here.

Rossman has done me no wrong in the past with his financial recos

In the beginning (remember paying $4.99/yr?) they were great especially considering the price. But lately sales/support/billing hasn't been up to par.

Remember you get what you pay for, if you want cheap and worry free hosting I'd check out HostPC.com

Very classy.

I think it might be down for awhile (forever?). There are posts on the forums there that he sold his hosting stuff, so is just letting this one dangle.

I've had it for almost 2 years now (July). It cost me $5, then $10. I was happy with what I paid for it (didn't get, nor did I need much support).

I think I'll go with e-rice, since I have another account there - another great deal, and much better service. Although I think they recently cut down on their quotas <shrug>.

One newbie question though - what do I lose if he doesn't restore/reboot the server?
1) everything on my website
2) all my mail that was delivered up until this date (or until I find a new host)
3) anything else (other than the 3 months left on my contract)?

If I transfer now to e-rice, where does the mail go in the meantime? I assume my mail will be in limbo for at least a week after I change hosts? Will it ever be delivered, or am i SOL?

DO NOT SIGN UP WITH RIPPLEHOST!

I'm glad I bailed on them about a year ago. I went with another of Ross's recommendations, HostPC, which has been spectacular where Ripplehost was craptastic.

HostPC.com :thumbsup:

I wouldn't go with them, many of their customers have been coming to me for a long time now. Their low rates are not worth the hassle!

I went from Ripplehost to Cernax Hosting, and couldn't be happier, the service at Cernax is great for the price.

 

sonataweb has been treating me very well, so far one of the best hosts i've dealt with (including some $500/month hosts)

Which SonataWeb.net package did you get?

 

[thirdlegstump]

I've signed up with Telnap a few weeks ago with a cheap shared plan. *Knock on wood. I've yet to really push it but so far so good, it hasn't been down and cpanel has always been quick and responsive as is the site. Devioustrap has been very helpful via AIM as well whenever I had questions.

I was wondering if I was going to be the only person that thought the topic and summary was odd.

BTW to hell with Cernax and Telnap. They have nothing on me. Some features:

Modern well equipped datacenter

Industry leading technical support

On-site security

State of the art fire-suppression systems

Offsite backup systems

Emergency generators

What more could you possibly want?

I am so impressed with your setup that I would like to to manage all my servers.:thumbsup:
