Hi Folks I would also put in a big plug for kickassvps, Brian Emerson and his crew. Their tech support is very responsive and outages in the past few years virtually nonexistent. Rob Robert J.

>> In the typical cycle of hosting company growth (with the inevitable accompanying service+quality decay) Viviotech remains in that small-company/high-quality mode. 1++. One more thing I would like to add to this is that when they set their machines up they lock them down and add security features. It was a nice surprise to find that my machine had already been patched, the firewall configured and locked down, and a SSH protection server to block brute force attacks. My experience with hosts in that price range is that you get a bare bones/default server install and you are on your own to set it up and lock everything down. G!

Re: SOT: Thoughts on Hostek?
At Hostek.com we are proud to serve and support the CF community. In researching, I believe it was a couple years ago when the previous poster about phone support was with us. Sure, we were not perfect then and still have areas to improve on; hey, we're honest :) Since then we have doubled our support staff, have a 99+% call answer rate and a ticket response time that averages less than 20 MINUTES. Also, the kind words for Vivio are deserving.

I am biased as hell (no, I don't make a penny from my bias), but I would strongly urge you to have your client go with Vivio instead. You **will not** find a better host in the CFML world.

I would avoid... I'm glad they are helping the CF community at tradeshows and conferences but the lack of phone support really is noticeable compared to the fortune 500 that host CF.\Try Rackspace, intermedia.net or HostMySite.com On Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 9:35 PM, .jonah wrote: > > Hi All, > > I have a client who's thinking of using Hostek.com for a fairly large > Mura site. > > I don't know anything about them - any experiences / thoughts / > recommendations? > > (Off list is fine too.) > > Thanks! > .jonah > > ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:352382 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
