What Host/DC Do You Dislike The Most And Why?
This discussion has been closed.

Hmm, I have to say Serverpronto's DC tops the list for me. It's a over rated basement... They really need to improve their company and standards while they're at it. I used them for a day and I was beyond unpleased.
inb4 ColoCrossing bashing.
+1
Who: Colocrossing.
Why: Deceptive business practices (operating in secret), tax evasion (see: employing Chris to falsify numbers), violating state/federal employment laws (see previous), turning LEB into a joke (see vpsnodes, endofreality)
There you go
In before "colocrossing is a daycare, not a datacenter."
This one...used them very briefly in 1998
@jarland Wanna know something funny? I gained a client today because of how much he dislikes CC. He asked if I was in any of the CC locations, I said no, and then he immediately signed up for a service and told me why he dislikes CC so much!
@DomainBop Look at those prices!
But you post and advertise on a CC forum
@concerto49 You think I care? haha. I was here before CC came here. If you notice, I post more elsewhere than here now.
HA.
Ok serious answer though...
FDC Denver. They're actually a great datacenter. Until they're not.
@jarland, They put their Motherboards in cardboard boxes!
That wasn't FDC's doing, that was alllll sharktech.
@MrObvious SharkTech?
OVH - The worst customer service of any host I have ever worked with. Servers are cheap because they are too plentiful.
I would have a mKS 2G if I didn't read all the stuff here about them. I prefer not being screwed from their one strike policy.
Clueless ones (solus setup is only knowledge), those who spam with their sig in other provider's offers and those who start threads like this.
Burst.net, anyone?
GridHostingSolutions... for making this thread in the first place.
Sentris ... rock solid hardware, network is okey and solid as well.. Than you have to deal with support and you're all screwed.
Ticket example:
Please reboot the server (meaning soft reboot). Do not powercycle the server to avoid corruption.
Ticket answer 3 minutes later:
We've powercycled the server.
1 hour later:
The server is not yet online, can someone please check it out?
Answer:
Give it some time.
Ended with corrupted RAID10 array and half of the data lost.
If you're serious, then ShardHost is to be avoided too.
A thread with a title of "What Host/DC Do You Dislike The Most And Why?" started by a host themselves is only going to end in a car crash. If you want to avoid our services for pointing that out then that is indeed a shame.
@ShardHost I think you're just as "bad" for pointing that out.
No. +1 in my book.
There are some which I criticize rather fervently, however none that I hate so much as to deserve a mention here.
@ShardHost Thread started by a host or not, I am still human, and I am still a client! I am open to say what I want and so is anybody else, a provider or not. I own a few LEB's from here still.
Hetzner for three reasons:
@fizzadar I've thought about getting a personal dedicated server with Hetzner once before, glad I didn't!

Although I don't see the point of the thread, we all dislike some hosts a bit, doesn't mean we need a thread about it.
@perennate That's just like saying we don't need a thread for the hosts/DC's we like then. :P
