Netfirms down!!

Netfirms www.netfirms.com is down

I cant access the site and any of my domains hosted at netfirms.

www.wlinker.com
www.thizzonline.com

Anyone else is experiencing problems ??

 

same here... i'm getting pissed off with netfirms... this has occurred to me a couple of times already...

 

Having the same problem, 5.45pm GMT .

I am really pissed about this, netfrims are usually pretty good, but as always it happens at the worst time or when I am busy. Losing money hand over fist now.

Anyone know if you can sue a company if when their servers go down (and arent repaired quickly) and cause finanical loss?

Cant even report it because netfirms support is located on their servers !

Saturday too, probably no one about to fix them either...

 

still down when i checked just now...

thats bad for the company...

 

down for about 2 and a half hours now

 

Im so sick of netfirms. Last year I switched all but two of my domains from them to hostican. Anyone who wants to get off netfirms should try hostican, they have MUCH better support and uptime, and if you sign up on a website somewhere you get a 60$ rebate back, so the first year is almost free. Anyway, as soon as these servers are back up Im off netfirms forever, piece of shit

 

... I also ment to say, they have been down for a couple of hours now...

Frikking Netfirms, I just renewed my account too... I will be voicing my pissed-off-ness by switching... fed up with hosting companies fucking ruining my margins...

Murphy's law: Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way.... I hate you murph! boo hoo hoo ...lol

 

Wow!
I used to view them a a bit overpriced, but a truly dependable host.
Never once have I seen any downtime (but I don't always check either)
````

Bye, bye Netfirms

 

update,.. all technical support phone numbers do not work, this just gets better. I was tryin to get an ETA, but I guess they njust disconnect their phones when somethin goes wrong

 

Still Down..... BAD

I have hosted 40 blogs in the netfirms and all are down...

 

Two days ago, I spent ~3 hours reviewing and downloading almost everything I had never bothered to backup at Netfirms.

 

jesus... how fucking long does it take to reboot the servers?

Surely they should have some sort of mirror or bakup alternative? I always thought nefirms were pretty decent and they had there act together but clearly they are either fucking clueless or totally inept at hosting.

Alternative hosting, any recommedations?

Any one know of any companies that guarentee a minimum downtime? I know they all pitch it, but do any actually guarentee like an hour minimum (if ever) or something similar?

 

My Reccomendation:

hostican dot com

And if you want to save $100 or so, this guy runs an affiliate site, he posts discount codes, and when you buy through his referral, he mails you a rebate check. I tried it back in august, worked great, I got 1 year of hosting for free, and was so happy that I upgraded to the unlimited domain plan. Check it out,.. I am in no way affiliated with this company of this guys website:

hpr.castironhostingreview.com/hostican.html

 

had much downtime with hostican?

anyone got any ideas why netfirms are down anyway? is there a powercut somewhere?

 

I havent had one outage with hostican, and I did allot of research before I went with them.

 

Until today, I would have called Netfirms one of the most stable large hosts ever built.
The (original) reasons more DP members don't use Netfirms were price and a non-standard cPanel.
```

For uptime, they used to be almost perfect.

 

How long have you been using hostican? This outage with Netfirms is dragging me into thinking about alternatives.

 

i will check them out...pretty cool that they buy out your contract, clearly hungry for the business. Domain for life is also pretty good. I just hope they can cope with all the people needing to switch over.

I only renewed with nebfirms because I couldnt be bothered to spend a day updating my files, most of the other companies offer a better deal for a few bucks more or less. Shame really, I noticed netfirms seemed to be targeting the budget end of the market more aggressively.. I should of read between the lines and realised that the service might suffer.

 

netfirms are back on the grid... im still pissed though, think im gonna switch if hostican really will buy out my contract.

 

..10am (EST). I was in the middle of uploading ftp and it hung. I tried all of my domains -- nothing. I tried netfirms.ca -- nothing. ..same with .com.

I called every contact number I could find - either a loud dial tone or a "circuits busy" recording...

This is very bad.

I just noticed about 10 mins ago that their main website is loading, but my account wasn't recognized when I tried to login to my control panel. Webmail wouldn't load at all...

Some servers or someone must have shit the bed hard today.

..am very curious to hear other people's experiences today.

-annoyed
