Now and again the site was down - usually for a day or so. They reassure you, and off you go again to the next time when you find contact with them is now e-mails, and answering machine, which means "No instant solace," and rarely a response. But you still don't check the site every day.

Soon the time arives when you have no answering machine to talk to - they never responded anyway - so it's e-mail queries only. Then your e-mails seem to hit a brick wall. No reply - just silence.

Eventually - after having the website off duty for for the umpteenth time - out of action for six days, you decide to call it a day and go through the hassle of moving the site to another of your host services which is no bad thing since, their service arrangement is so much better and they seem to know what 'Good Service' means. Their hosting rates are identical too.

This all spread over a three year period.  By now you're thinking, "Grown too fast and forgot the 'service' bit."  Fortunately you've spread your websites around the hosting community - you have someone to compare against.

Later, you came across a web site doing some good work in explaining how bad the service is at QAwebhosting.com     And you thought it was little old you ....

Before you ask - we don't know what QA is supposed to mean. At this time we'd suggest 'Quite Awful'. Others may describe it differently ...
