"This Is Huge CERN Is Bringing In Demons Proof In Pictures"

"Proof" in the loosest possible sense of the word.

Try Grapple for Android, it has a naked pixel guy in it!
Also, loads of blood and some snakes.

No, no. They're obviously paying this guy to draw attention away from the cracks in the Universe that they've created with their mad scientist extravaganzas. There'll be black holes everywhere by Tuesday!

I found this awesome host. They give you a dedicated Win 3.11 server with Ruby on Boats support for only $200/month

Punished By GoDaddy For Being A Loyal Customer

I've hosted my numerous sites via GoDaddy for 8 - 10 years. Can't remember how long.
Anyways, they recently upgraded but they didn't upgrade my Windows site.

Now it seems to be going down intermittently due to file system problems and I called in yesterday.

TechSupport: We can upgrade you for $$$$.
Me: Umm... can you fix the problem and make sure my web site is available?
TechSupport: It's an old server technology and it just happens.
Me: Wait, you are saying that since I've been a long-term loyal customer I have the old technology and that is my problem somehow?
TechSupport: Right. YOu need to upgrade.
Me: Wait, I can just move my web site to the new site. I'm paying the same price and you didn't upgrade me. Why do I need to upgrade? Why would it be my fault that your hosting is failing?
TEchSupport: Uh. erm. well. errr... uh...
Me: I'm moving to Winhost. Thanks. bye

Today, my godaddy hosted site is down. Terrible.

I'm using Arvixe also. Not too bad

If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Thanks for letting me know. It is definitely in the running. I'm doing ASP.NET MVC 5 and writing to SQL server and arvixe looks to be supporting all of that at a low cost so with you and others recommedations I am leaning heavily toward it.
Thanks Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Arvixe is now purchased by EIG.
A lot of old staffs had been let go and replaced by EIG staffs.
There is a big chaos now happening in Arvixe.
Now, Arvixe is no longer that we used to know.

Yup; been using them for a few years. Can be a bit slow sometimes but seem to have improved in the last year or so. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

lol I was punished here (at CP!) simply by mention "GoDaddy". After this I "researched" a little bit about then and everything was ok for me (that was before about one year). I can't believe they go the hard way... Confused | :confused:

I will suggest you www.green.ch (and also lot of others .ch). Nothing exciting, simply swiss slowness, but also swiss reliability Big Grin | :-D

GoDaddy annoys me, I had a friend who wanted to host a python site, but the only support CGI and Python 2.4.

Not too surprising. Go-Daddy is kinda like Norton. Just the commercial Kleenex default.

So they have become abusive along with their complacency.

Watch that they don't keep billing you after you leave.
