ANHosting Suck Logs
My blogs are all hosted with ANHosting, a part of MidPhase (and no, they’re not getting a link) and they are the reason my sites have been unavailable the last 9-10 hours.
Planned maintenance apparently, scheduled for 7 hours, but no one site should be affected that long - my arse!
They had a 99% uptime promise when I joined, but since late December 06, my blogs have been down for over 50 hours that I’m aware of - do the maths if you will, but I don’t think that adds up.
I look forward to moving to a new host when my subscription is up (and maybe before, much as I hate to lose money) and I wish I’d never picked them - shame they’re listed on the main WordPress site as suitable hosts.
My opinion? Use a different host if you’re looking - and if anyone has any recommendations, fire away…..

Webfusion have been pretty good for me, but they bloody ought to be for 10 quid a month!

You aren’t the only one I’ve heard say bad about AN. I ended up going with hostican, and after two weeks I have no complaints. 6 minutes of downtime one day, and they ban Digg, but no other beefs.

[...] I just thought I would get that off my chest. For several days since a supposed ‘update’ by these people my blog has not worked properly. Do they care? Nope, they have offered no assistance at all. They have messed up to such an extent that now Word Press is not working properly either. I know I’m not the only one. [...]
