I have had nothing but trouble with my shared web hosting package. I am not here to slam or defame anyone. However, over the last year my Internet business has been drastically effected by my web hosting company. I have lost members, signups and advertisers because of them.

The reason, I think anyway, is because I am on a shared server hosting package and the hosting company has the system set up so low that each participant on their particular server only receives a minimum of services, compared to what the hosting package claims to be giving.

I have read other forum post with many others having the same problem. The hosting package claims to offer an unlimited package boasting to give unlimited bandwidth, domains, emails and so on. This all sounds great, but when a webpage reaches 500 visits a day the webpage was removed. Or the webpage visits are limited or suppressed…

I have seen what I believe to be the case with my own WebPages. I have tested this and in each case it rang true. I ran several different email campaigns, on different webpage’s running these simultaneously, then followed my stats. It seem that on all of the webpage’s the first few days my visits would spike to right around the 500 visit mark. Then on or around the third to forth day the visits would fall to half, or around 200 to 250 visits. This might not be at all strange if it was only on one webpage. However, it is happening to all of the webpage’s at the same time. They spike at the same time, then three days later they are all at half tilt, sporting very close to the same visit results.

I understand that my only alternative for now it to move to my own dedicated server. But what I would really like to know is How they are doing it. I have had down time for hours on each of my webpage’s, although not often where they at the same time, or on the days I did my test. I think it is in their setup but I don’t know how they operate or how they set up. I would however like to know, just to rub it in their faces when I quite them and move to my new server.

So if anybody can enlighten me on this I would love to hear what you have to say…
