Netfirms Advantage Hosting = Unreliable

Submitted by kai on Sat, 2006-03-25 18:07. ::

I mentioned about Netfirms' $10 Advantage plan here.

I signed up for this deal 2 weeks ago and test-drove their service. I am not satisfied at all.

When I tried to import a 6mb MySQL database, it took forever because the MySQL server was down. It constantly tried to reconnect.

I hosted a PHP-based gallery there. When I tried to upload more than 5 pictures(each is about 100-200kb in size), it gave me some apache errors. I think this is because they really limited the memory usage.

My advice is not to host anything serious with this kind of hosting plan from Netfirms.
