Need a password reminder, as it won't let me log in. The reminder page says the service is unavailable and to contact support instead. However, their contact support form requires you to enter a password!!!<BR/><BR/>They're phone lines also appear to be down, so no luck there. Contacting them via their other online form (via sales in the hope it will get through), gives me a ASP scripting error, when I click send!<BR/><BR/>What idiots.<BR/><BR/>Seriously thinking of moving my domains away, assuming i ever manage to log in again!Tazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04687169615345348928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-3274368143225552682007-12-05T08:41:00.000Z2007-12-05T08:41:00.000ZHow badly organised does a company have to be that starts their support call with "you are in queue position 48" !!!!<BR/><BR/>I am currently on hold as they seem to automatically bounce all emails regardless of how they are formatted. <BR/><BR/>The irony is that I have forgotten my password for my log in details but there forgotten password feature is broken on their site.<BR/><BR/>What a useless company!!samthegapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-42124468981114358082007-12-03T14:33:00.000Z2007-12-03T14:33:00.000ZGoogle yourselves a new host!<BR/><BR/>http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=buy+uk+hosting&btnG=Search&meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB<BR/><BR/>Plenty out there!!<BR/><BR/>Cheers GAGuardian Angel!!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-78062767439356462012007-09-12T16:56:00.000+01:002007-09-12T16:56:00.000+01:00I have had nothing but trouble from Fasthosts. 2 Weeks after joining a network card failed - this took over 20 phone calls before they would investigate - they blamed me for not knowing how to set up a server. 4 days downtime. <BR/><BR/>Month 3 hard disk drive fails everything lost ! <BR/><BR/>Them: Did you pay for our £75 per month back up system? <BR/><BR/>Me: No I didnt<BR/><BR/>Them: We cant help you you are on your own unless you want to pay £60 per hour for an engineer.<BR/><BR/>Me: do you mean I have to set up all domains etc from scratch.<BR/><BR/>Them: Yes, fraid so.<BR/><BR/>2 weeks later a domain disappears they told me it was my poor set up, 3 days later I finally found one of their engineers had bound the IP to the wrong domain.<BR/><BR/>and Today All email accounts have disappeared.<BR/><BR/>GET ME OUT OF HERE !<BR/><BR/>I need a dedicated server at reasonable cost and good reliability can someone suggest a company please?Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-90238727369122438232007-09-05T10:04:00.000+01:002007-09-05T10:04:00.000+01:00FastHosts is quite possibly the worst company I think I've ever dealt with.

In most cases, this was indeed the case. However, little cracks are beginning to appear in their steel chasiss and its mainly down to customer relationships.<BR/><BR/>I was intending to build a whole business project using FastHost dedicated servers. However, it become quickly apparent that they just were not the right choice due to several reasons:<BR/><BR/>1. Billing errors.<BR/>2. Hard to understand discount programs.<BR/>3. Technical support teams that understand very little.<BR/>4. Arrogance that they (technical) know better then anyone else on the other end of the line.<BR/>5. Unexplained outages which they deny happen yet £1,500 monitoring software can proove.<BR/><BR/>In the end, it was decided to move one part of the business to another provider (sanechoice) which can deliver what it promises.<BR/><BR/>I am not saying FastHosts are the worst company out there, but they do make 'avoidable issues' which generally only stem from lack of good customer service and core knowledge.<BR/><BR/>Just to put this in perspective, FH lost around £6,000 worth of business and I wont be going back soon.<BR/><BR/>- GSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-49157238452984368222007-07-03T16:40:00.000+01:002007-07-03T16:40:00.000+01:00Fasthosts Dedicated server down for <B>4 days</B>.

FASTHOSTS is RUBBISH!<BR/><BR/>Rgds<BR/>SLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-1124208378757344942005-08-16T17:06:00.000+01:002005-08-16T17:06:00.000+01:00Good luck!

Mine's 24.<BR/><BR/>Redressing the balance, I've had very good service from their domain management system, UK REG, and continue to use it to retain independent control over the domains I look after. Having been caught out more times than I wish to recall, no hosting service I use ever gets control of the domain! But this is an issue I could bore anyone to death with given half a chance, so I'll shut up now.<BR/><BR/>Hope you get your issues resolved shortly.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14926859643680802829noreply@blogger.com
