Tell me about the worst hosting company you have tried out. Be specific, I want details. This can be very helpful thread.
Let me start. Netfirms: big space, big bandwidth and slow server. I started with Netfirms from the cheapest package (the personal blog/photo package i think). At that time my pages were all pure html. Server respond was 'ok'. Then i started to get 'Page Not Found'. So, i contacted support and they recommend me to upgrade. So, i did. I upgraded to Advantage or Advance package (about $10/m). This time im using php/mysql. I found that the respond time is sooo slow. So i contacted support again. Guest what they said............Upgrade. So i did. I upgraded to Enterprise 1 which is $50/m. I was stupid then and didnt know much about other hosting firms. I thought if Netfirms was hosting 2 million sites, they got to be good. Right? Wrong. I have moved away from Netfirms and will stay away. If you have mysql application, then dont even thnk about Netfirms. Tooo many problems. Every problem you could think off, they have it. Netfirms is very proud of their 'Cluster Technology' but honestly, i call it 'Clutter Technology'. They throw your files around and sometime, cant find those files: that would explain the 'Page Not Found' error or the 'Cant Connect to Database' problem. So, Stay away from Netfirms.
