I have now scratched two possible host providers off my list. 1&1 and GoDaddy!
Because of this thread and my personal experience with GoDippy I will not conduct business with them and I hope others are willing to boycott them as well. I will take a pledge and will not host with these two companies.
These companies better start taking the DNN community seriously. DNN forces them to understand how their environment has to be hosted rather than setting up a blind server and walking away. The Internet is becoming more sophisticated and these sophomoric companies need to go or provide a robust environment.
Otherwise MS is going to feel the pinch as well. I can not begin to tell you how many people have turned to PHP / MySQL / Apache because of the hosting providers and their inability to understand developer needs.
Can someone please start a thread on hosting providers and DNN. What good is it to know DNN and not have a place to put it, test it, or promote its use?
What hosting provider is doing a good job in supporting DNN?
I TREBOR am committed to not hosting with 1&1 | or GoDaddy for 3 years as punishment for their lack of respect to the DNN community. They willfully promote DNN support and compliance only to fall short. They waste valuable time, create unnecessary frustration, and turn people away from Windows, ASP, and DNN. If you are willing to take this commitment along with me please include your name below:
