High Speed Rocks — Don’t Settle For Anything Less Even If The Provider Has Specials
Monday, March 10th, 2008Whether you are scouring the web for specials from cable providers like Comcast or DSL services like Verizon, or looking for a web host, one thing you will want to keep in mind is their reputation for not having downtime and their reputation for technical support. I recently had one of the worst experiences with a web host company. Their tech support is virtually non existent. When you respond to an email requesting more information and they respond the next three times with the same email, something is definitely wrong. When you call and they don’t have the technical knowledge to solve your problem, every single time, so they open an email ticket, you are back to square one. So I decided to move this blog from Ipower to hostrocket. Why and what does this have to do with speed. Well considering my blog is about everything high speed, my readers should expect pages to load in an instant instead of a 10 count. The speed at which their system was communicating with the database was unacceptable and it took over 10 days for them to tell me that the speed was acceptable to them. See Yah! It took me less than 1 hour to sign up for a new host, redirect my DNS, configure passwords/permissions, install an SQL database, Install my blog and repost historical posts. Oh yeah, and write this post. Speed is everything, don’t settle for anything less with your hosts and providers.
