InvisionHost.....!

[S.K]

Hmm..!
What future holds for Invisionhost, now that it has been wholly bought by Netracom!
So soon! It is hardly 2 months old!
May be it will function like a re-seller.
Will the assuranes on the existing clients be kept?
Any light on the performance of Netracom and their business strategy and ethos?
Thanks
S.K

Since when were they bought over??

[edit]Nervermind, I just looked at the forums.

[Coight]

That was a quick stint :confused:

90% of the time when a larger company makes a takeover bid and is successful you loose the personal service you have with your host/business :(

[Coight]

Looking at netracom's pricing:

http://www.Netracom.com.au

You might see a price rise soon.

On further investigation I would be concerned, such a "big" company with false whois records?

is that for real?

gee that's odd..

[Carboran]

I am soooooooooooo glad I went with http://www.Dixiesys.com phew

[Daniel]

Ahh well, I got my site hosting for free from Invision Host and I could care less if my site is pulled off-line.

[shizzle]

Netracom will function Invisionhost as a SEPERATE business. Personal support shouldnt be that much changed. I believe that the support manager was kept. There will be NO price rise for anyone who has signed up already, as Netracom will function invisionhost as a seperate business. More details as they come up. Thank you.

[Carboran]

Well, Netracom seems pathetic right of the bat.

No info at Whois(there is now) Domain registered via godaddy in May, no support pages...

[netracom]

Netracom owns the following Domains

netracom.net
netracom.co.uk
netracom.au.com
netracom.com.au


We mainly deal with resellers we only have approx 200 retail clients so most of our support is done via resellers helpdesk and not our own.

Invisionhost.com is 100% retail client and we intend to use there infastructure to enter the retail market.

Log a support call with Invision host and see the quicker response times.

Feel free to email with any problem or suggestions.

Why did you provide false information in a whois?

[netracom]

MYWEBWORX.COM is not OWNED by Netracom.

It's owned by one of the datacentres we co-locate with.

It's Australian dollars which is approx $7.00 US!

But All clients are hosted in Australian Data Centre which charge 0.15 per mb of traffic.

Standard Australian Web hosting is $16.50 - $25.00

[Jan]

16.50 Australian Dollar (AUD) = 9.03771 US Dollar (USD)
25 Australian Dollar (AUD) = 13.69350 US Dollar (USD)

[Archbob]

Still way too expensive for what you are getting.

[netracom]

I know!

Tell that to Telstra!

The Internet cost in Australia are on of the highest in the world.

Hence why we started to purchase smaller webhosting companies who operate offshore.

So the datacentre is letting you use their domains? Why would the datacentre provide false information? Maybe it's time to report the domain in question.

Your forums clearly point to this domain: http://sydserv1.mywebworx.com/~invision/forums/

[netracom]

Yes that's true we are using thier domain until all the clients are crossed over our new server and then it will be invisionhost.com

Unfortunately all our domains are tied up with DNS functions for our resellers.

The do not enter details as they manage other cweb hosting companies servers as well and do not want smart people like yourself harassing them. :)

Once completed all our domains will have the same information.

Looks like that has happened already as you are now back to your old user name in Web Hosting Offers :bandit2:
