4Sites.com hosting - downtime headache

Ed_Stirling

Hi,

Is anyone out there having problems with web hosting company 4Sites.com?

I have a website that is with them - down now for a week (no website, no e-mail, no ftp, no admin (cPanel)). I'm not getting any reply to e-mails from owner (Alex).

This is causing me a big headache for a community website.

It is cheap and has been for the most part OK. Another site hosted with them is currently working fine.

Perhaps I should look for another 'host' - would need to be cheap, reliable and with cPanel admin.

Any comments/ideas.

Me again, after being off line and no communication for 6-7 days the site is back online. I pointed the dns to another server (the one for my other site).

Perhaps the server was changed without me being informed?

Still not overly impressed by the lack of attention/communication.

Hi there, I just searched google to see if anyone else was having problems with this host and I was happy and sad to find this. Happy to know that I am not the only one with these problems but sad that mine isn't corrected yet. Could you inform me on how you got yours working again? I was away for 2 weeks (I am told the site went down about 2 days after I left) and it has now been down for about 3 weeks which really isn't on. When I got back I sent and email straigh away so that was about a week ago, still no luck with communication and my website is still down.

I've just been poking about this internet and found this stuff: http://www.webhostingstuff.com/comments/4Sitescom-5892.html http://www.webhostingstuff.com/comments/4Sitescom-6853.html http://kobrafang.wordpress.com/ Good stuff, I think as soon as I get access back to my website and make back ups I will be moving on. It looks like this Alex has decided to put a lot more effort into his new Australian venture (http://www.4sites.com.au/) and has neglected his old UK site.
