Jun 5, 2007 1:46 PMMosso Sucks. I Need a New Host.When I first joined Mosso, Harper and I got to have a conference with one of the founders of Mosso, Todd Morey. It went really well; we all liked each others input, and aside from a few minor provisioning bugs, it seemed like things would work out really nicely. The fact of the matter is that my sites are not reliable. I know nothing about server management, but when I had my own box, I was down less in 2 years than I have been in 2 months with Mosso. Between databases, mail, and php being down... It's awful. In fact, it's embarrassing. All of my sites have had issues since moving to Mosso. All of my clients and visitors are like, "this is broken." "that is broken." "yo, your service sucks." And it's completely out of my hands. I honestly can't do anything. I call from baseball games, I IM them at 3am, and I wait. It seems I have to contact them at least 5 times a week for something being broken. It's a nice change from my last server in that I actually get to talk to humans for free. But it's also a really poor change because I'm forced to use that free service - often. Mosso has helped me out by comping me free hosting when they're down... but I don't want free hosting, I want websites that work. What I want in a server
Tags: tech, web CommentsSorry to hear about your experience. You should try ServerBeach out. They were built by Rackspace and are owned now by PEER 1 Network. You get a dedicated server at a reasonable price with enough support to get by. You can also choose between 3 datacenters across the US. Call 1-800-741-9939, ext 3 and ask for Roger or Javier. You can also email sales@serverbeach.com. I have to admit that serverbeach looks VERY promising. Thanks for posting this. I have a dedicated server at Rackspace and love it (although it's crazy expensive). I'd been looking at getting Mosso as a possible mail solution for clients who don't want to pay for Noteworthy accounts, but it sounds like that might be a bad idea. If you come our way, get a 15% discount at www.kirupa.com/mt.html Rackspace might have helped "fund" Mosso, but Mosso is not a spin off from Rackspace like Serverbeach is. Two totally different companies! Have you looked at going to Rackspace? If you want true 100% uptime you need a server from Rackspace - there is no other option. ServerBeach, MT...laugh! I've been with Mosso for 6 months...and I haven’t any problems at all. I haven’t had the need to call support in over 4 months. The last time I did was to figure out a provisioning problem that never happened again. The price is right, the customer service is better than any competitors and the system/features are getting better and better by the month.again. The price is right, the customer service is better than any competitors and the system/features are getting better and better by the month. Plus their email system is one of the best out there. www.WebMail.us http://hostican.dr.ag/ Mosso is absurdly SLOW - at least for .NET sites. If you want to frustrate your customers, then they are the place to host. Yes, I was a customer of Mosso for nearly half a year and just ended my account w/ them. It's not worth the headache, trust me. where did you go, william? and mosso just put a 3 million request limit on their accounts. i have under 20 relatively small sites live on my account and am pushing 3 million requests a day without making a dent in my bandwidth or disk space usage. something seems a little off here... hi Derek, nope, i am still paying $100 a month. i see.. Mosso too expensive? If anyone is interested in sharing the cost of Mosso with me, I'd be willing to set you up with one (or a few if needed) of the client accounts for a good price. Just need a few people to help offset my costs. I'm thinking $10 for me, plus the set fees at Mosso (for example, $5 for 100mb of MS SQL, etc). I can be flexible with price depending on what you're looking for. I'm willing to set you up with unlimited email boxes and databases since they're free anyway! Hey Derek, Hi Vi, I don't have as many outage problems with Mosso, however there are frequent performance problems. they recently setup a new image caching box, however it seems to have made my images load much, much slower. It's quite ridiculous. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS COMPANY - SO THEY ANSWER THE PHONE WHEN YOU CALL THEM IN 2 RINGS INSTEAD OF A 20 MINUTE HOLD LIKE MOST SHARED HOSTING COS - AND FOR THAT YOU PAY 10X MORE A MONTH AND GET TO BE THEIR GUINEA PIG. BUT THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT YOU DONT NEED TO BE CALLING THEM — EVER!! Problems here too. After a recent migration to Mosso Cloud hosting, images on my shopping cart stop loading, or take too long to load. What a bummer. Hey, i work for an hosting site we have some pretty good deals on hosting so check us out or contact on aim @ xXxM4A1xXxHTAm i am always on for support, and we can beat any price are you a straight edge hosting company or what? Hey there, Mark from PhireFast website hosting here. Your Comment |

if you move servers again you better put a test site out on the new one for a while to make sure it works before making me move my sites again. ;)
