The limits on SQL db's are annoying--you get only one with the basic plan. They claim they can host Joomla or Drupal, but just try doing SEF url's and you quickly run into huge issues with their shared server configurations. It's aggravating trying to get credit for downtime, too. There's no IMAP support for emails. Lately, the host servers time out a lot. My sites frequently become inaccessible, and that's really the last straw.

When all I needed was a simple FrontPage site, they were great, and their upper tier support was very helpful. Now that business has grown, though, they can't seem to scale up with us. I'd tough it out with them if their uptime was better or you didn't have to call Canada on a toll call for tech support, but it's begun to be a huge pain in the butt to deal with this company. We won't renew.
