I've been with CW for over 2 years now and am very disappointed and frustrated. I'm moving to a different company.

My server is down frequently. When you call tech support they always say they're aware of it and that they're working on it, but the server still keeps going down. This has been ongoing and it's not getting any better.

I've started to make a log and keep running this by customer support occasionally. They have given me a credit by extending my contract, but that's not a solution. I lose customers when my site is down and no credit of theirs is going to fix that.

Lousy tech support - they make you feel like you bug them when you call with a problem.

Not worth the hassle. I'm moving on.

Buyer beware

Hi,

I have looked into this particular issue and it seems there was a questbook spam which caused extremely high load the server. It was however resolved within a reasonable time and services were restored to their normal operations.

We do our best to keep a high uptime on all our servers and we do respond quickly to server problems. There is just no way to keep a 100% uptime on a shared environment.

I am sorry that you had a bad experience while you were hosted at our servers. When you request a cancellation on your account, I will make sure our billing make a refund on your remaining contract term.

That is unfortunate.

I started my site in 2002 and went through two other hosts before trying this one in, I believe, 2005. Perhaps it can be the luck of the server. In my experience this host is so far ahead of the others for reliability it's not quite close. I have recommended others to it and I know one signed up recently.
