Horrific, absolutely goddamn horrific.

Struggled to get the FTP connection working reliably, then found they blocked fopen for ALL clients, wouldn't even open it upon request. (told my client it was a 'hacker tool' and gave them the heebie jeebies)

Next found that the php setup is just balls, just spent an unholy amount of time trying to get my script to work (works flawlessly on other hosts) and when it did work ran painfully slowly.

POS, can't recommend.

Did you have paid hosting service with them? If so, this is in the wrong area. Besides, what can you expect from "unlimited" offerings?

They have a nice site design though.

I think this should be in the paid forum

yeh sorry my mistake.

I don't personally have hosting with them, however I was hired to do work on a site that was hosted by them.
