I signed up with aplus in March 09 and was fairly satisfied for the first 6 months. In December 09, they had an "upgrade". I've read that it was really an outsourcing or buyout. Either way, the results for my site were disastrous. The communication was awful. My site has been down over 50% of the time since then. Features were taken away. Database server was moved without telling me. Any attempt to get answers on what happened are ignored by help desk. There are way too many better options out there to waste your money with this company.

We are finally leaving. Thank goodness. The migration in October of 2009 was horrible. And now, they are having logging problems again.

Useless tech support. They don't fix what they claim they will, they avoid difficult questions. If they can't fix your problem by the 30th time they just start ignoring you, including your request to cancel service as per their own Service Level Agreement. Had to threaten a lawsuit to get it cancelled.

I have been a satisfied aplus.net customer for years. After their so called control panel "upgrade" there are a lot of issues going on since months and they don't seem to be able (or willing?) to get it fixed. I'm moving everything to a new hosting company. My business is at risk!

I had been a customer for years and was satisfied, but they recently did an "upgrade" and broke the ability to host wordpress blogs (due to a VERY outdated version of libxml2 from 2006 you can't update the blog from any 3rd party app). They refuse to fix it and are even less helpful about compensating me for the headaches they have given me.

I've had an APlus site since May 2003. Fine. I added another Feb 2009. Fine. Last week I added a 2nd domain to my Feb site.
DISASTER!!! I'm working on my THIRD trouble ticket and no-one knows how to make it work. No access. The chats are so stupid they're insulting. The emails are boiler plate answered 5 days later. The phone conversations result in: I don't know. I'll write a trouble ticket.
Like with other corporations - At&T comes to mind - there's a big marketing push followed by no support. Sales is always available, but forget anything near competent support. I've spent HOURS this week trying to fix my sites. No dice. I cancelled today.

I'VE BEEN WITH APLUS.NET FOR 10 YEARS.
FOR THE PAST NINE MONTHS, I HAVE HAD AN ECOMMERCE STORE WITH THEM.
EVERYTHING WAS GREAT UNTIL THEY MERGED WITH ANOTHER COMPANY MOVED WEBSITES TO NEW SERVERS.
23 DAYS AND COUNTING. MY WEBSITE HAS NOT WORKED FOR 23 DAYS. NO ORDER, NO ANSWERS, NOTHING.
STAY AWAY FROM APLUS.NET. THEY ARE IN A MESS. THEY MAY GO OUT OF BUSINESS IF THEY CAN'T FIX THEIR SHIP!
IT IS SINKING.

My client's existing, basic site was been hosted there for a while and I became aware of Aplus.net a couple weeks ago while developing a new site.
Shortly after getting my hands dirty, they performed server upgardes that lasted a week. During this time, my client was unable to use their built-in website updater to make changes. I was however able to make chages for her using my own local editor and FTP.
A couple weeks later, I am testing my almost-complete new site and the MySQL database connection started failing. I was using 'localhost' in my PHP connection string and figured out on my own that this suddenly didn't work anymore and had to use a server name instead. No big deal, I figured this was due to the upgrades.
Today (a couple days after), my database pages are failing again. I tried changing back to localhost for my connection but it didn't work. I then tried to get into my phpAdmin to see my databases and I couldn't. A half hour later, I can now get into the phpAdmin again, but I no longer have any tables in my database.
Perhaps I will have to start yelling if they don't come back.
If they can't bring them back, I will be moving the site to my preferred host immediately.
If they can bring them back and these connection failures continue, I will still need to rid myself of these guys as the site is very DB-dependent and this is unacceptable.
In summary, not impressed with the 3 weeks of my experience thus far...
