I had a couple of config problems at the begining, but they have been rock fucking solid.. god bless em..

SomeCreep · 04-05-2003, 02:28 AM

they're satisfactory...Main thing I like about them is that they have 24/7 phone techsupport for major server issues. Other than that, I'd say they offer the same level of service as the majority of webhosts. Email techsupport can be slow at times.

Yeah they have fast bandwidth and cheap servers but fuck me DEAD they have some of the worst support i've ever seen. thats why there prices and support is so good cause there support is so god damn pathetic.

Personal experience, lost half my hair dealing with there techs, unanswered emails, phoning 5 times during the day trying to get 1 simple ftp issue fixed and still not having it fixed.

Ohh and National-net.com ABSOLUTELY ROCKS!!! I mean the longest support ticket i've had so far with them has taken 1.2 hours to finish, the rest are finished and done within 10 mins to 1 hour. There support is amazing and i'd suggest anyone who wants super fast bandwidth WITH real support go with them.

... you are in love with an ISP, fuck ... you must be desperate !!!

senseidru · 04-05-2003, 07:57 AM

Yes they are cool and their prices are wicked, I also agree their tech email support is slow, took 4 days to answer simple email, that is unacceptable.

But usually I go through my sales rep when I have a problem, he gets things done proper good.

NineNine · 04-05-2003, 08:29 AM

Candid is pretty good. I've had a dedicated box with them for about a year and a half. They're very flexible, and they'll do pretty much whatever you'd like done. They have 24/7 support which actually answers the phone 24/7. I'm not spamming for 'em, I'm just psyched because I'm upgrading to a nice fat box on Sunday and I got a *sweet* deal!

SomeCreep · 04-06-2003, 07:57 AM

True their phone techsupport can suck at times and email support does usually take days... but at least its there, so better than nothing. I still wouldnt recommend candidhosting to people even though I use them for some of my sites.

i looked at national-net.com...Server included: Intel ISP1100, Pentium III, 700 Mhz, rack-mounted web server with 128M SDRAM, 9G hard drive, and 100Mps redundant connections to the Internet with 100GB transfer/month = $295/month

Way too expensive. Are they crazy or is their page just way outdated?...that doesnt even remotely compete with other webhosts.

I've been with candid for years. Overall a very good company

kmanrox · 04-06-2003, 10:54 AM

there's a first time for everything...

foreverjason · 04-06-2003, 11:04 AM

how about vibehosting.com has anyone tried them?

pufy · 04-24-2003, 12:26 PM

man..lets be serios...their suport is the worst ever..i have moved my server form datahosters to them, i paid them and its more then 4 days and i dont have a server set...lol..

Warden · 04-24-2003, 01:33 PM

I've been hosting with www.WebAir.com for a while now. I can?t say anything about Candid Hosting, but I can say that WebAir has never let me down. Fast backbone, fast customer support, reliable and affordable. My old host (wont mention any names) kept me up at night worrying if I was gonna go down and not be back up until someone casually discovered the crippled server hours later.

basschick · 04-24-2003, 02:13 PM

pufy, they had to buy and configure 100 servers with no warning whatsoever. i called them and they got everything worked out damned fast. why don't you call mark there at ext 320 and he'll get you all fixed up.

their email took several hours each time - not days for me, but definitely not the fastest. but phone was fast and icq dude was instant.

jact · 04-24-2003, 02:14 PM

I just recently signed up with Candid, you get what you pay for, and of the three choices for a host

"GOOD"
"FAST"
"STABLE"

They appear to be fast and stable (Good usually refers to tech support). So for me, the two important ones are covered. Since I'm a sysadmin and it's just virtualhosting I signed on for...

If you look at our virtual prices and our entry level server prices (that's an entry level server you quoted above), you'll find them to be un-attractive for a reason (wink wink)

Now, if you contact someone in our sales department, you will find our "custom" packages MUCH more attractive...especially if your someone who uses a "real" amount of bandwidth.
