Sorry to be sensational but I am sure I am not the only client of these people to have had considerable problems lately.
They had (allegedly) a massive spamming attack on their servers in September and since that time they have continually had problems giving unbroken service.
Reports on their support pages receive a 'holding' response and then about 3 days later they send a message that all is well now. Alternatively they tell users that they have their connection settings wrong !
Today (29th Nov) their webmail has not always been accessible, and then they are not posting incoming mails owed for the past 2-3 days. I have had correspondents contact me complaining that mails have been bounced back to them. I have sent test messages from my AOL account to various of my hostonce based addresses and they too have been bounced back by hostonce. The latest report showing that the host is unknown.
To top it all the main Hostonce webpage has been unavailable and thus access to their support pages - to view their latest excuses and insults ;o)
So what do others think - are they bust?
Perhaps more important, how can I move my very modest small domain to another hosting service and which do you experts out there recommend.
TIA
