…. my host sucks.
Hell, I don’t even know if this will ever get published to be honest. Every time I just think about my web site it will go down.
I’m still with the sorry excuse of a web host called Top Hosting Center. If you come here often, then you will know that it goes down a lot because every attempt you’ve tried to open my site you’ll get some sort of error from it being down. I would never recommend Top Hosting Center to anybody, not even my worst enemy.
Why am I still with them? I don’t have the money to fork out for a monthly service, and I’m currently on THC’s Host for Life plan where I just gave my money to them so they can torment me with their terrible service. I don’t have the money yet. Soon I will be moving to another hosting company, but I am still debating with who? And I still can’t justify the cost of a VPS hosted site.
I’m at my wits end with these people. If my site goes down, the first thing they jump on (As almost as if it is a canned response now) is that my site goes down because of my plug-ins. Bull Fucking Shit! I turned them all off and within an hour it went down 13 times. They then try and say they watched the server for 10 hours with plug-ins off and they saw no problems. So that makes me a liar I guess. I’ve even removed most of them so that all I have is 9. 9 that are essential for the operation of this site. I even went into the templates and removed most of the PHP calls to HTML so there is less load on the server. Site still went down 8 times last night.
A few days ago, my site was turned into a Pizza Web Site!?!?! Did my fucking plug-in cause that 6to happen? It wasn’t even my site at all for a whole day.
My FTP stopped working multiple times and I’m constantly filling out their shitty ticketing system (IF THAT IS EVEN OPERATIONAL) and have to put off whatever I’m doing for several hours until they fix whatever fuck up they have caused. Yea, even their sites keeps going down so when you need support you can’t contact them. How pathetic is that!?!? Their 800 Number seems to only work on and off. Sometimes it’ll say that the number has been disconnected, so I’m thinking SKYPE is what they’re using.
I keep having to get them to fix Awstats all the time to because whatever they keep fucking tinkering with keeps fucking up my stats all the time too.
I’ve had e-mail issues all the time too. I would get e-mails that were sent to me days before I even got them. e-mails that are time sensitive so by the time I get them the information is outdated and I would lose out on possible money making opportunities. Think they would compensate me? I wouldn’t waste my breath trying to get blood from a rock with these people.
I’ve had multiple e-mail problems, ftp problems, awststs problems, database problems, major site problems, and now I’m developing mental problems from all the frustration this hosting company has caused.
Not once has THC followed through with their 99% up time guarantee. The only thing I can guarantee is that they suck. I’m not the only one who thinks so either. I’ve contacted a few people who have/had them and they ALL experienced the same nightmare as I am dealing with now and have always had since day one. Read the entire series of events that Philaahzophy had in his dealings with THC, from the day of sign up till the day of ditching their service. They wrote 11 posts that you can follow along with simply by following the links listed at the bottom of each post they wrote.
There are a few more web sites discussing how bad their personal experience was with Top Hosting Center online. I would post them, but I supposed to get ready for work, and this was the only time I had to write this because it was the only time my site was up long enough that I could even post it. But I don’t even know if it will post when I click publish. I’ll probably get another database error or blank white screen.
If you actually were able to read this, then you were lucky. Go get a lottery ticket because the chances of you winning and actually opening up this site are probably the same.
