Default Anybody hosted with Ventures Online? Any recent troubles?

I seem to be having more than my fair share of problems with them. I was just wondering if anybody else have been experiancing problems with them lately too?

I was considering a move from Ventures Online where I use a shared server that costs 25 bucks a month to racknine.com that seems to be a good deal cheaper, but I'm unsure of their quality of service since I've never heard of them or heard good or bad things about them

Any ideas?

Hi,
I have had a couple of 30 day free trials with them recently on their shared servers.
The servers were slow with server loads too high for my liking and this was a test site, no users.

Their support is excellent and I've heard some great reports about them. IMO I think their service has suffered recently.

i doubt you've had as many problems with you're host as i have with mine, i feel like i'm constantly complaining, i even seem to be banned from their tech support irc channel lmfao, but still the plan was to hold out for a while then move forums nd upgrade to the newest version (hopefully vb3) in time for the summer break, was gonna move to VO and it sucks as i've paid for my existing deal for a year already -_-" but :baffled: not sure if VO's the answer now.

Probably unrelated but my server load spiked to 25 today. I'm using HM. Loads are at the top of http://www.turtletips.com/ ; I wrote a script to color-code it and display a warning icon when things go nuts.

What's HM, what does the warning do? and if I'm interested is it offered for free that I can add to my board?

HM = http://www.hostingmatters.com/

It's just a script I wrote that execs uptime and then parses the output.

My sites hosted on ventures online and it has been slow. I watched the server load get to 100 once before i sent them like 50 support tickets and all they kept saying was it will be fixed soon.

That what it seems like they say to me. I think they have gotten too big and they don't want to spend more money on hardware so now theya re getting crappy... less good then they started out as.

*cough* I don't wanna promote anything or anything, but they are a good host (not VO, I know nothing of VO) and offer good service, good speeds, friendly and knowledgable help for reasonable prices.

Not too bad. They offer more space than VO does for the price, but they offer the same amount of bandwidth. I think bandwidth is one of my major concerns. Hosting screenshots for games and some other ideas I have is most likely going to be higher than 20 GBs. At least I'm hoping it is. If RackNine turns out to be cheap in service (as it IS cheap in price) then I may give them a try.

Thanks.
