Cool.

I would not have thought anything bad if they would have said they were down for a natural disaster of sorts, but they said vacation. Maybe they were in the middle of a natural disaster but thought it was best to say they were on vacation for some reason. Why they might think that was best, I don't know. Heck, I don't even know if that was actually the case or if they really were on vacation.

All I know is that when people sign up for hosting accounts, they don't expect to get an automated message telling them they are going to have to wait until "we get back from vacation". People expect to get hooked up within 24 hours, if not less. The website never alerted me to anything about them "being on vacation" or anything at all telling me that I would have to wait longer than usual. I'm not saying people should not take vacations. I'm just saying that things must be done appropriately. No one cares that they go on vacation, they just want what they paid for when they pay for it.

But that was not the reason I left them anyway. I left them because I hated their control panel and lack of features which is the reason I left. I bought, I learned, I left. No big deal. I don't mind switching hosts. For me, it's easy as cake. Many hosts will even move your sites over for you if you as them and most do not charge. They are just happy to have more business. Hosting is a a dog-eat-dog business.

But I did not make my post to bash them, you or anyone else, I was merely illustrating 2 things...

1. I did not like them for their features or their control panel.

2. There will always be conflicting, extreme stories about any one web host (just like with any business) which makes it really hard for newbies to make a decision which is why you just have to bite the bullet and go with one and then go from there.

No offense meant.
