Is dizzyhosting.com dead ?

[GoMenS]

Hi everyone,

A few months ago, hostingdiscussion.com helped me in solving a problem with a hosting company named dizzyhosting.com.
Everything's worked fine since but since more than a week, Dizzyhosting.com doesn't respond anymore and so is my own website recipemania.net.
Has someone subscribed to Dizzyhosting too and encountered the same problems ?
What can I do ?
If I have to move to another hosting company which one is the most reliable for PHP/MySQL ?

Thanks for any help,

GoMenS

Hello, I remember you had a problem with this company, so my suggestion would be to move to a new one.

I personally had experience with several companies, two of which I loved: WebHosting.com and HostMatix.com

WebHosting.com was great, but it got expensive once the site grew, so for the last year I've been with HostMatix.com and I coulnd't be happier. They are a unix-based host, but they support everything you'll ever need, plus they give Fantastico package with every account.

I wish you good luck in shopping.

Hmm, at least prices are good for me...
Thanks for the tip.
Do you know what version of PHP is supported ?
I've seen that they belong to a Company named Mifco Group, based in Dubai... Do you think they are reliable for a long time (let's say more than 6 months) ?
I just want to host a personal website with PHP4 and MySQL, limited traffic probably, will the yearly package be enough ?
Thanks again for your help Artashes.

Yes, you are corrent, the company's headquarters are in Dubai with offices in USA. The company is to be trusted 100%. I personally got to know the CEO, who often communicates with clients on their forum.

I actually got to meet quite a few people from a company - all are very friendly and welcoming professional people that know what they're doing and they do it well.

As for the PHP support, I have no idea, but I think you won't have any problems in that sense as they have been continuously updating themselves technically.

I think the yearly plan could be enough - but that depends on how many pages, visits and how graphically loaded site you plan to run.

Best,

Just did a DIG on dizzyhosting.com and their Server(s) are off line. Probably had the plug pulled and, if it's been a week already, odds are they won't be back up. Have you tried the phone number listed in the WHOIS - (610) 623-8828.

It's always been my opinion, when doing business with any company on the Internet, I want to know I can pick up the phone and call them. Although having more than one method of communication is good, Voice is still tops.

Thanks for the information Artashes...
Fact is I don't know how to count the number of pages for my website, shall I count the number of PHP pages (few) or the number of pages generated through PHP (much more) ?
Anyway, I think I'm going to give it a try, for 50 bucks, I think the risk is light...
To answer Rob, yep, I've this phone number for Dizzyhosting but... seems to have been unplugged as well
And let's say that for the few money I spent, I don't want to lose time running after a ghost...
See you,
