Cyberwings

[ribitch]

I know i posted this in the suckage forum, but I am curious on how many people here ordered hosting through cyberwings. I have my site hosted there and the past few days the service has sucked.

According to their update site, they will have all domains working today at some point. My site seems to be hit an dmiss. At points it works, at others it doesnt.

anyone else?

off and on for me. Kinda hard to run a daily hot deals site when it's down for half the day. :(

i know what you mean. I keep trying to add images to my site, and no such luck. Tonight i plan on updating some pages, since my gf is going out. I would like to be able to upload them immediately, but i doubt that will happen. I did a search on google for them, and some of the forums that are just on hosting are saying shawn is a con artist, and not to expect the hosting to resume.

The price was unbelievable, so the con artist part could be true. I paid 3.90 when you posted it on your site. I was paying 95 a year through hostica for similar service, but with way better up times.

They're apparently having some datacenter "issues". If you can hit their site, there's a big story about how they're working with their provider, a new datacenter, blah blah blah. Don't know if any if it's legit. That's OK though, if they go under I'm only out 4 bucks ;).

Call me naive if you must, but I believe shawn has sincere intentions.

still not up, and no updates on their status page. Not getting my PRIMARY email is really pissing me off

I found this link:
http://www.mesda.com/ViewOrg.aspx?lOrgID=3353

it lists their number. I called it and its some recording for something group (words are kinda slurred). He better be working on getting our sites back up, cuz this has gotten old pretty damn fast. We might have to send out some of these after him:

Ok, nm, I don't have anymore patience for this crap. Switching hosts tomorrow.

[ribitch]

i am extremely pissed too. I dont know if i should continue to hold out since i have waited this long or just forget about cyberwings and get a new host.

Anyone know of any good hosting deals?

i have decided cyberwings is a scam. Always was a scam. Heres some proof. Shawn White is the owner of cyberwings. Here is the google groups search results for his email address.
