These days shopping for overshore hosting seems to be a real problem for many companies and private individuals. This becomes even more true when you require a Windows Server or VPS. There are several companies where you can rent these units at reasonable prices, but one has been standing out lately as a consumer beware alert.
That company is Xsserver. Eu - they have been dropping the ball according to a lot of folks lately. Take this example:
"My server was available to me in the 24 hours perior that they stated it would be available in, but that's where the pleasure ended. I began using xrumer on the server and was locked up in under 24 hours by their software. They asked what I was doing, and I told them as it wasn't against their terms of service. They unlocked my account and 14 hours later, it was locked again. When I tried to submit another help support ticket they told me the server had a virus and it was my fault.
It was a server that I had under my control for less the 96 hours, got to use it one day, and then their unhelpful response team said it was my problem. Not only was there no virus, there was no service. Avoid these people at all costs! "
And that's just one example of unhappy customers. We went looking and we found many very similar stories, almost exactly like that one. When their server's go down it always seems to be the customer's fault - no matter how experienced they are or how well known the software they are using is.
Based on these events, many potential clients should seriously consider not using their services in favor of one of the many other off shore provides that you can find.
