    In final answer to the recent question Netfirms yay or nay? I would just like to confirm that the answer is a resounding nay!

    Do NOT use Netfirms - there is just no point. Unless your site is some plain HTML job, and then you don't need hundreds of Gb of space, do you?

    For any remotely serious application (like I needed a mere month into my new net foray) - like proper permalinks, proper sendmail access (basic, right?), forget them. Also, the amount of downtime is ludicrous, coupled with which, they fob you off with LIES (how could a router down in Turkey, near Serbia where I am, stop ALL traffic to my site for 10 hours if it is hosted in North America?! I do actually get traffic from elsewhere, too!)

    Servers are SLOOOW beyond belief and there are frequent "mis-serves" (it dishes you up a blank php page with depressing regularity).

    Just don't bother.

    Thanks for all the offers, but I decided to move to Bluehost, because I couldn't find much bad against them, and I have a month trial to see if they are up to my, frankly modest, requirements. I am very happy so far.
