If you don’t like being called out for your stupidity and inability to take care of your clients, then maybe you shouldn’t have come here and made it public info. But since you did, get used to the pointing and laughing.

Hopefully, your clients will come to their senses and go with someone a little more competent.

“If I was stupid, I’d be the one here whining ”

As it is, you’re just the one trolling. Might I suggest greener pastures? IRC? LiveJournal? You know, somewhere where your talents might get wider viewing. You’re selling yourself short by pissing in such a small pool.

If I was stupid, I’d be the one here whining about how my life is falling apart because of a single shared hosting plan.

Just tell your customers that you’re whining as hard as you can in blog comments, so the service they’re receiving from you should improve any day now.

Too late to worry about that, I’m afraid.

Nope. I might catch stupidity, assuming it’s contagious.

And here come the whiners with the “we went with a cheap host because we want the best of everything” routine. And even one that thinks $1,000/year is a ton of money.

First, you get the same service on the L1 - L4 plans, so paying extra for more resources does not change reliability.

If mail reliability is a priority, then quit being cheapskates and use a MAIL host for the mail, rather than doing it all through the web host.

This isn’t rocket science. It’s common sense.

It’s hilarious when people start in with the “my clients” “my coworkers” crap. Just tell them the truth, which is that the price of single shared hosting account is what their happiness is worth to you and they’ll just have to get over it. Otherwise, dry up the tears, blow the dust off of your credit card and pay for some redundancy. Naaa… why do something productive when whining on a host’s blog is so much easier.

If we’re looking at another couple weeks of continual outages like we had a few months ago, my clients simply don’t have the patience for it. I had finally settled the ruffled feathers after a few months of problem-free service, but this is the third business day with a mail outage.

It doesn’t matter if it only lasts an hour or so, if it happens mid-day when everyone in the office notices, the damage is done. And I don’t need some jerk to tell me to go outside and enjoy the day or ask what I expect for what I’m paying and tell me how valuable the service is. I’m paying about $1000 a year, buddy. For that, I expect my email to not take a dump every day. How unreasonable of me, I know.

I’m not in the business of giving companies the riot act in public, but we’re having continual (months and months) troubles with unreliable email servers and corrupted email accounts. Like right now. None of it works. My co-workers have given an ultimatum: any more of this and we’re outa here. That’s after me trying their patience over and over with words of ‘patience’. I admire that they’re trying to supply a cheap and useful product. But for me, too much of the cheap is coming through.
