Re: anyone tried ThePlanet.com hosting?

Hello,

I've had experience with both theplanet and servermatrix.com (which is a 
lower-cost subsidiary of theplanet).  I've had a great experience 
with both companies.  I currently have a debian server at servermatrix 
and couldn't be happier with it.  

I had some pretty specific (and probably unusual) requests for setup of
the server and filesystem layout and they handled them perfectly.  As 
far as uptime goes, it's good enough that I don't even bother to worry 
about it.  They seem to have enough redundancy and, more importantly, 
seem to have more than enough knowledge on how to run things that this 
isn't a concern of mine.

I've had a couple occasions to use their tech support, like when I hosed 
the first kernel recompile as I figured out the right drivers for the 
hardware.  In general they appeared knowledgeable.  I have pretty good 
confidence that if something goes wrong and I need eyes and hands on the 
console that they would be able to help out.  Just as important, they're 
*willing* to help out.  The people I've dealt with have been 
professional and courteous.

Naturally, all of this is based solely on my experience with both
companies over the last ~14 months, so your experience may vary.  Also,
fyi, I manage my own server so I have no experience with their control
panel software or any of their managed or partically-managed plans.

Steve

anyone tried ThePlanet.com hosting?

Good Day Everyone!


Has anybody here tried hosting or getting a hosting solution from
ThePlanet.com? I've been surfing their site, trying live chat with
their sales reps, and was pretty much satisfied with the way they
handled my queries. They also offer good packages PLUS the fact that
they offer Debian hosting.

So before I sign-up, can anyone here who has any experience with them
offer me/us a review of what their service is like? Uptime, tech
support, competence in general?


Many thanks!

Chad
