COOL CATS Down Reply #2 – March 28, 2006, 06:16:30 PM I'm guessing he is changing his domain to UnCoolCats.net Quote Selected
COOL CATS Down Reply #4 – March 28, 2006, 06:52:39 PM So are ya ditching XLInternet Eric? I plan to ditch them in November when foxthundercats.com is up for renewal, and I may even discuss it with you and Baxo about moving this board in October. XLInternet has simply become too unreliable. Notwithstanding the fact that the board has worked for the past several weekends, I am still quite bitter about the several weekends that it didn't work.The fact that they discontinued the phone support is another big issue, although even when they had it they'd simply lie about why the site was down anyway. They still blame the PHP attacks on Vbulletin, even though you're not running Vbulletin on your site and every time this site goes down so does Coolcats.I told the tech guy the last time I "talked" to him (we didn't actually talk, what with no phone support) that I'd be moving to another more reliable (and friendlier) host as soon as my time was up with XLInternet, and he replied by offering three months free. I told him three free months aren't much good when the ed site is always down anyway...I've been seriously considering 1&1 - their eleventy-two page monthly ad in Maximum PC magazine looks mighty compelling. Hell, even their most basic package at $2.99/month offers double the storage, five times the data transfer, just as many databases and twice as many domain names, plus 24 HOUR PHONE SUPPORT...

COOL CATS Down Reply #5 – March 28, 2006, 06:59:40 PM I am considering uncoolcats.net. Yeah Carm, I am ditching them. Same reasons for me...cheap hosting is one thing, but cheap and uncaring hosting is quite another. I have e-mailed XL countless times over the last 6 months to unlock the ed PHP so my site can fully function. Never got a response. So...piss on you, XL. Uh buh-bye.I'll PM you with the details on the new host, and will keep you updated on whether I like them or not. So far the uploading went fine, and within the next day or so it should be fully operational. Phone support is good too. Quote Selected

COOL CATS Down Reply #7 – March 28, 2006, 11:21:55 PM I would recommend GoDaddy myself personally. It's cheap and has great speed :)Which host are you going to? Quote Selected
