RE: Desperate for Hosting URGENT WARNING URGENT
I unfortunately have to agree about CIHost. Their prices are pretty good but I had my site hosted there for a couple of years before I moved. It goes down constantly and there was a time (pre-ColdFusion conversion when my site was on Unix) that my site was down completely for 6 weeks. I finally moved hosts and CIHost kept denying my DNS change. There was another person who recommended media3.net and I'll agree with that...I personally think Media3 is fantastic and I have never had any downtime that lasted more than a few seconds. Support is responsive and intelligent there and the prices are very good. -Marla Jenkins -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 9:07 PM To: CF-Talk Cc: Heidi Belal; Michael Lugassy Subject: Re: Desperate for Hosting URGENT WARNING URGENT Dear Heidi: IF YOU or MICHAEL LUGASSY or ANYONE ELSE ON THIS LIST are customers of CIHOST, be afraid, be VERY afraid.

RE: Desperate for Hosting
If you are looking for a great CF/NT Host look at ATSWEBNET (www.atswebnet.com) They have a very affordable solution, reliable up times, and good support. The support is only by email, but has always been answered within a couple of hours. Tell them www.coldfusionjobs.com sent you.
