this is becoming more and more often.....
cant update store/ftp or bugger all :mad:

Unlimited web hosting
"Earlier today we experienced a severe DDOS attack to our cloud09 platform, the severity of the attack was that great that service disruption occurred as a result.
We have mitigated this partially by re-routing customers IP space however some customers may find intermittent access to their domains & Plesk control panel during the DNS propagation period which is currently taking place to the new IP space"

i,m really begining to think i need to MOVE to a more stable host......before store goes live :rolleyes:

Strange name for a company :-( Oh well. If this is happening a lot all you can do is move. In my own experience, host companies that suffer these problems never seem to get any better. I've also found you get what you pay for. My own hosting is very expensive but worth every penny for the service and reliability.

No, you shouldn't need to pay up front, unless they're giving you such a good deal to entice you!

every host has problems at some point.
this 99% uptime is rubbish you can't predict a problem and when it happens you will have downtime.
it's how your host deals with problems thats important. if they say yes ok we'll sort it then a day later your still waiting look elsewhere.
if they reply within a short time and bend over backwards to help stick with 'em

as i said to my host i don't care how much i pay i need good service terrific support and a server which is fast and stable and thankfully thats what i've got now, but yes it's at a price lol
