This was my 2nd cpanel server host in early 2003.

Well after being to WHT and so many cases of bad hosting, at the time ImHosted seem to be a problem free host by the looks and research of it.

I went and signed up, being excited and all and getting back onto track on the site designs again. Just under slightly 24 hours later, I received my confirmation email with account info.

Logged on and began uploading my files, checking cpanel too see the new features since last time I was hosted. I had to email support because one of my scripts didn’t run, I wasn’t very technical knowledge about the hosting scene at that time and they were very fast to tell me they don’t support 3rd party scripts but the error was just simple permission related so they told me how to get it working again.

The next few months everything was fine. I couldn’t be any happier with such a host then things started going down hill, they had like 3 servers. The one I was on use to be down like 30mins a week and even at worst 15 mins downtime like every two days, I was only running a personal site so I didn’t mind much but 2 months down the track when you start using your host more you will start to feel the impact. I started a public site about funny pictures around the net which gathered 250 registered members in 2 weeks time and having down time wasn’t something I could just ignore anymore so I moved on.

Ended my hosting the next week and moved onto myacen.com which is a review I write next.

I suppose you could found the best host but when they grow, then when you tell others of such great host and the word spreads on like fire. The customers that they bring in lowered their business in my opinion, they simply shoved too many customers on a machine and support was starting to become slower. Support wasn’t answered in 12 hours anymore; it wasn’t common on my last week with them that answers were answered three days later.

My cancellation took over a week. I was also charge extra month. I don’t know if it was their 30 days you have to give them, simply waited for me to go over a month or was too busy with the new customer signups. I didn’t try to argue at that point, I just wanted to move on and keep my site running.
