Wiredtree - Sucks or Not?

I've been with Wiredtree for about 2 years, but only recently I've been paying attention to the sites hosted with them and noticed alot of downtime and lack of feedback from Billing guys.

Anyone else been suffering outages or problems with Wiredtree.com? Should I continue to use them?

 

We have used them in the past and have been great! we never had any issues. May be things are changed now. If you look for Wiredtree alternative, you can look at liquidweb.com

 

I still use Liquidweb, 6 years and counting!

I've been with Wiredtree for 2 years, but lately I had nearly 1 day's of downtime with no apologies, then waiting 2+ days to questions I made.

Also today, I can't view my sites on the server anymore...not sure what is going on!

 

We have used them in the past to host our main site for around 4 months, my VPS uptime was 99.9% (monitored each minute by pingdom).

From my personal preferences, the only thing that made us stay with them for 4 months is the account manager, who is very helpful and proactive at dealing every problems. The server performance itself is so so, not superior yet not bad either.

I assume that you can also check some customer hosting reviews at Webhostingstuff review web site.

 

I have no direct experience, but I can tell you that they've had a number of very serious outages due to power problems and malicious traffic. I won't link you to the posts because they reside on another forum, but a simple Google search should turn them up.

 

Could you let me know the problems if possible? I couldn't find anything about them on Google..

 

Try to ask about this host on WHT.. I believe that there are some webmasters who will share their experience dealing with them.

 

We haven't had any outages recently or any network issues. If you are seeing issues with a client's site, it is because of the client's server or their site. If you are experiencing any unresolved issues, just get in touch with us and we would be happy to help. Our billing department operates 9-5 M-F (normal business hours) and is not 24x7 like our support team.

 

WIREDTREE SUCKS!

STAY AWAY!

I will be moving all my sites off their VPS shortly. In the past 6 months my sites have gone down 3 times. The first time it happened they were down for 5 DAYS! They kept giving me the run around bull, this broke, that broke. They gave me a measley 3 months free after the massive downtime, yet they had cost me over 3x that amount in advertising revenue.

Pay the extra money and go with hostgator or liquidweb for a peace of mind. Wiredtree will not be in business much longer.

 

never used them but ive seen a lot of downtime topics with them

 

WiredTree has been having trouble with their core routers lately from what I have heard. Their support is still as good as always, but they are mixing networking equipment. From what I understand, they use Brocade for their core equipment and a combination of Juniper and Cisco for their distribution stuff in the datacenter. Not sure that's a really good idea, but there it is.

 

Yea that's right, a lot of downtimes lately but as they announced they are working to ensure this never happens again.

Overall Wiredtree is consider to be a good provider

 

I'd summarize it something like this:

WiredTree IS:
- Excellent hardware quality.
- Good prices for what you get.
- Good at keeping up with new tech (new CPU releases, etc)
- Good variety.
- Excellent management.

WiredTree IS NOT:
- A scam
- Infallible
- The best host for all needs
