Affordable Host

Pros: it's cheap
Cons: servers crash, site off-line for no apparent reason, no explanation given

I think I was first pointed toward Affordable Host years ago on my science fiction groups. People in the groups had nothing but praise for this website hosting service. I was tired of the headaches and limitations of many of the free sites and ...

Pros: Costs little.
Cons: You get what you pay for--little performance, little service, little support.

I signed up with Affordable Host many years ago when it was run by Tina Peterson. It was low cost and offered excellent performance and service. Then she developed some health problems and sold out to another hosting company. Since then the service ...

Pros: Used to have competitive prices. You have the freedom to choose another host.
Cons: Unreliability, unable to quickly recover when serious problems arise.

Ever since they were sold to dot Canada service and reliability went downhill.

On my last month with this hosting company, my site was frequently down and they were unable to restore it b/c their backups were corrupted.

I had full backups of my two sites but they could not restore my FTP accounts so I could not re-upload the sites. This went on for about two weeks.

I've since left and could not be happier.

Pros: None
Cons: Servers crash, backups are corrupt, no customer service,

I’ve been a customer of Affordable hosting for the last several years, really liked them and sent many people their way. Something happened in the last few months because the service and support horrible. Two times in the last two months their servers crashed and were down for over a week. Each time they crashed I was told their backs up files were corrupt and I would need to re-install my sites from scratch. I can understand this happening one time, but to have it happen again in less than 30 days is just unacceptable. When you submit a support ticket you get an impersonal “canned” response telling you that they are working to resolve the issues.
