    I've been on hold for 22 minutes. This is ridiculous.

    This is why I warn all my clients NOT to use them as their host... pathetic.

    I had them for a while. The service is hit and miss. There were times where they were very helpful and would pick up the phone in 30 seconds.

    Other times required a longer wait.

    The main reason I left though was the inflexible environment if you are doing anything with PHP or that requires a real Cpanel.

    Much happier with my current host - their support is EXCELLENT!

    Because their 'control panel', if you can call it that, doesn't set up phpMyAdmin properly.

    Several years ago I tried Yahoo hosting and they were the absolute worst I have ever experienced. Terrible service and if you ever have to call them? they outsource their customer service and you will probably never get to talk with anyone who knows anything or can help. I could go on and on but I will just say they really stink.
