I'm going to excuse myself from this conversation but you guys should save yourself some time and go ahead and go with a different hoster now rather than later. Based on my experience there is a disconnect between their on-line, 1st level, 2nd level and admin support. I got a big run-around and my issues were never resolved. Even basic technical competence is lacking.

Wise words and something I'm considering. I have two web apps with them (my own ASP.NET apps, not DNN) and they have completely failed to migrate them. In the end I told them to stop bother and let a professional (me) migrate the site myself. After all, I uploaded it in the first place. I was lining up a DNN to move to them but I've left it running on my own dev server for now as that works.

The show stopper for me is that they way they implement sub-domains (e.g. mysite1.mydomin.com, mysite2.mydomain.com) just doesn't work on the new platform. Low down is that the sub-domains don't appear to be separate IIS websites (as they were on the old platform) and redirect therefore doesn't work. I use the Response.Redirect("~\MyPage.aspx") all over the place. If you had a subdomain call mysite1.mydomin.com in a sub-folder called "mysite1", a the precending redirect loads http:\\mysite1.mydomain.com\mysite1\mypage.aspx and not http:\\mysite1.mydomain.com\mypage.aspx (as it did on the old platform).

I assume this would break DNN as well as I'm guessing it uses Response.Redirect somewhere.

I suppose I could re-write my own app to handle this fudge.

Cheers, Rob.

Unfortuntely that's not going to happen. 1-2 months I've heard before they are shut down so you need to either get your problems resolved or look elsewhere and ask for a refund.

Man these guys… what clowns. I’ve been with them since early 2006. It was never great but it was ok and it was cheap (for IIS hosting).

But now, after this so-called migration, it’s all gone to hell.

Two websites both down for TEN DAYS! TEN FREAKIN DAYS!!! And STILL not fixed.

I used to recommend these bozos to others that wanted low cost IIS hosting. Every single one of them has been down anywhere from one to many days after this migration.

And the best part; they timed the migration on all of those accounts for just after the plans came up for renewal.

This is THE WORST experience I’ve had with a hosting company, ever.

Please, pretty pretty please:
– take your business elsewhere
– tell everybody to post everywhere about these idiots so they don’t fall prey

I sincerely hope they go bust. It would be a service to humanity.
