okay I'll go :)

addr.com

Been with them for 10 months without a problem.

Support? I have no idea because I haven't needed any since the early days. And then it was very fast!

They have several plans which you can check out here (http://www.addr.com/services.htm)

I am on the Silver Plan .

Until yesterday I have NEVER known any down time :devious2:

So because of that little lapse (which I admit was fixed within an hour)....they get 9.9 out of 10

Gee Jan... Addr.com rated 9.9????
Are you sure that 's not on a scale of 100?

They were the worst when it came to support when I was with them. Also, they had a problem about hacking and lossing credit card numbers about a year ago.

Sorry to disagree so strongly but I fell out my chair when I read it.

Go to www.webhostingtalk.com and do a search on them for many others with the same experience. :confused2

It says on their site that plan L200 allows 8GB of data transfer... :p

I signed up before they changed the plans. I still get what they offered when I signed up for a minimum of 36 months.

long contract. It's not a contract; it's a guarantee. I can leave whenever I want, but they just froze the features/price for me for a minimum of 36 months. After that I wold have to pay the extra price.

[Archbob]

I like year or two year plans better than monthly plans, they cost less anyways.

That's okay, I have heard a few complaints about them since I have been mentioning them on forums.
I have been with them 10 months only and I had never joined any forums prior to that time, so I had no idea, maybe if I knew, I wouldn't have joined.

In this 10 months I can only praise them and as I mentioned earlier, I haven't even needed support since the first week with them. When I am due to renew, I will consider them again. :classic2:
