WEB HOSTS THAT SUCK - AQHOST

I've been offering web site hosting to my clients for the last six years. In that time I've had more than a few unpleasant experiences. The journey began with Easy CGI - They were the absolute best ever. That is until they were bought up by a larger organization that screwed up everything. The old Easy CGI hosted a Windows VPS plan for me. It worked wonders for a year. No trouble whatsoever. It was quick, responsive. No downtime and the support team actually supported me. Then came the new guys. They killed the VPS server. That's right dead. A month later and it still was dead. Not only that but they continued to bill. I had to contact the company's chief financial officer in order to get a refund.

My latest rant has to go to Aqhost. These guys have been hosting a client's ecommerce site for the last two years. A few months ago they suspended the account for non payment. Whoa - what the heck. The procedure was for them to take the payment from my paypal account each month. That's the way it worked for years.  Until somone in the billing department changed their procedures, failed to take the money, assumed I was not paying and switched off the account. When we talked about it they gave a lame excuse about a computer problem. Well three months later they have done it again. So here's my recommendation - Don't use Aqhost.
