I have been with Readyhosting for many years. It was originally a Wisconsin company. Late last year, it was purchased by a company that is buying hosting company customers (e.g. the entire companies) and creating "cookie-cutter" hosting sites out of them.

After the switch to the "new platform" the issues have been constant, their so-called tech support awfull, and they have sunk to the lowest levels of the worst hosts that exist.

If you try to email their tech support, expect to get canned answers that are selected from a list of possible phrases. You ask a specific question? They won't even read, aknowledge, or answer the question, just a canned answer that the person on the other end thought was as close as possible to the question.

Ridiculous.

And if you have a SQL Server DB, don't go there. They have MyLittleAdmin, and it is supposed to allow you to backup and restore your database. Doesn't work. Their excuse is that they cannot allow users to do this, since it will cause security issues.

I guess their DBA hasn't ever heard of granting the user db_owner privs on their own database only. Can't argue with them, even if you are a college educated DBA with many years of experience.

Goodbye Readyhosting, Good Riddance.

Stay away from this company!
