RE: Avoid Intermedia.net
My experience has been just the opposite of yours, both with regard to their personnel and the details of their account offerings and charges. While I know at least one of us (Bud, I believe) had performance issues with their servers, I've had excellent service and performance from them with clients who needed low-priced shared hosting for multiple domains. Not trying to trivialize whatever problems you encountered, but I hated to see their offerings mis-represented in a public forum. Ken Intermedia.net is another host provider to avoid. They don't allow subdomains under a single account. They also don't allow multiple domains under one parent account. They charge you full charge for each sub-domain cname and top-level domain name. Their people are also not very knowlegable and rude. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Avoid Intermedia.net
As I said in another forum, this may be a problem employee at the company and not the company itself. It happens. I recommended asking for the supervisor.

Re: Avoid Intermedia.net
Yeah, I've had pretty good experiences with Intermedia.net. Besides a few server downtime issues of late, I've been satisfied with their service. And their support people are pretty prompt when responding to my e-mails.

They do have subdomains, they just have an archaic way of implementing them. They apparently don't like to dish out multiple IPs and rather than using the host_header method, they use a silly redirect script. If you have an "account" domain and put 11 domains for 5.00 each under that account, then you have to put all the other domains in their own directories and they all end up looking like www.domain.com/subdirectory/ after being redirected. Plus you can get to everyone's site through everyone else's domain. I've hosted several sites that end up in the search engines under the wrong domain name. Try explaining THAT to your customers. They hassle you for months because they're not in the search engines, then one day they're all excited because they see their domain name. They click on it and end up on someone else's site. Or they see the title to their site, click it, end up at their site but it's not their domain name. I'd stay far away from their sub domains. Same with mail. For email accounts, if you assign Joe the e-mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED], then joe will get the e-mail if you send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], 3.com, 4.com, etc. So there can only be one Joe for all 12 domains. info@ is like gold on their system. LOL While I personally have had performance issues with their ColdFusion sites, I must take exception to the latter part of your e-mail. Their customer support people have always been extremely knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and quick to respond. And believe me, I've berated them, questioned them, you name it because I've been so PO'd at times. They still treat my like their favorite customer. :) -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ 954.721.3452 ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Avoid Intermedia.net
Plus you can get to everyone's site through everyone else's domain. Fortunately all it takes is a little creative CF code and that problem goes away. Just don't bother with the redirect script they offer. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
