I've about had it with HostRocket!
I've had a few times where the site was unavailable for 5-8 minutes. I don't like it but I can live with that.
I've had NO site statistics for the majority of days over the past two weeks. I've opened 4 trouble calls for this, and each time they've told me they found the problem, and it's fixed. I don't like, but I can live with it.
But today. Today. They had a dard drive fail on the server I'm on. Server 85. No big deal, right? Well, it wouldn't have been a big deal IF THEY WERE USING RAID5 LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!
The Tech proceeds to tell me that my host server is RAID1!!! I asked if they had RAID5 servers, and the tech replied, Oh Yeah, but not the one you are on!!!
So, one disk on my host server dies and takes out my site for an hour and a half. Thats really starting to push it with me. But now, get this. Because Host85 was set up at RAID1, they had to restore off of a backup. From yesterday afternoon. 24 hours ago. I have even planned for this occurence. I had a crontab job set up to run at 3am every day. Well, it failed for the first time in 2 weeks, and I didn't get the backup. So, now I'm stuck with a forum that has lost a FULL DAY of posts, PM, EVERYTHING!
I'm starting to get pissed.
Does anyone have any recommendations for hosting PHP and MySQL?
