Need more? I have it… So, what can I do?

Update:
More than one hour has passed since I registered my complaint and I am yet to recieve any intimation from the company. Looks like I am going to hunt for a new hosting company which gives me a better uptime for the price I pay them.

It's not just me then. I went with them following all the rave reviews. I've had nothing but hassle, I wish I was with my old host now. But it was a total hassle moving.

But they offer GOOD support, compared to those that take 1 week to reply. Stop thinking it is the BEST host ever and get along with it. I find it okay, support bit slow but very friendly.

I am very happy with them. Had a few problems at first but that was apparently due to the server (Omicron) being quite new and them just moving into the new (at the time) data centre.

Hi I am a current customer with ASO. I have been with them for 2 years now coming to 3 years. When i first started with them i will admit they have been awesome no doubt.

But.. their services have degraded drastically. They have new technicians who really dont know what their talking about, i think they maybe be high school work temps dont know. What really is costing me is their downtime. They are going down everyday atleast once or twice. If i am ever lucky then my websites will survive for more than one day. Really i am already looking to move hosts. ASO have a very bad service and their bad service isnt just a small spike its been like this for 6 months now. I was hoping things will improve but they have not.

If you are planning to run a forum or something which requires a database backend i would highly not recommend them. But if you are wanting to host a small blog website for yourself then this is the place for you. I would not recommend ASO for any businesses or large forum communities.

Thanks
