I'm pleased that your happy with our service with us. Thank you again for all your kind words, it means a lot hearing it come from peers of a community you are active in.
This whinge does NOT relate to Mike Edge and xfhost,me with whom I'm well pleased.
I'm a lot less pleased about STILL sorting out domain mess hanging over from my previous service - more than a week after leaving them.
Calculating lost income at admin £10 an hour I've lost around £300 to trudging around domain registration sites, trying to track down what happened; plodding through their stupidly bad support pages, making endless notes to try to keep up with it all, re tracking on new stages of transfers over and over and over again, making lengthy expensive support calls to premium numbers or international call numbers. GRRRR!
Strictly speaking it's my fault because I allowed myself to be bullied into using services I never chose, but were the preferred services by the previous host.
That meant using various different services with several different companies, several different website interfaces to cope with which makes it very slow. Instead of one simple company as I had before. Hellishly complicated arrangements not to mention no cpanel but weird ftp with sub sub sub sub directories. Headbanging.
OK I should have stuck it out for what I preferred - hindsight. But if someone keeps playing 'I'm the Expert' and keeps arguing, and you just dont have time - I have a business to run which is only one small part about its software - you give in just to get the ruddy job done and have websites to work with.
So now I have a whole pile of my own clients who haven't had my services as they should have done because someone messed up my websites and I had to spend over a week sorting them out.
Again I cannot thank Mike Edge enough. Without his patient and good humoured help it could have taken a month to get sorted.
