Fasthosts

[geoff]

Hi. I found these forums yesterday and did a search for Fasthosts but couldn't find much and thought there'd be more discussion about them. Aren't they really popular? 1/2 million websites hosted with them - don't know if I should believe this.

Can anyone who knows tell me what they are like? I used to have a resold account with them and it worked well on the whole, fast (although I did get quite a few CGI timeouts). I have heard some horror stories, but then why are they popular?

Please give me your opinions of their business account plan (the £20 pm one). Thanks a lot.

Hi Geoff,
I've been trying to investgate Fasthosts too. Mainly because the sites hosted there are inacessable at the moment, and were also inaccessable earlier this week.

I'd also be interested to know more - good or bad experiences.

Maybe heading for Webhostingtalk.com might get you guys more answers.

Thanks. Yes I noticed they were offline too. They seem a bit flaky from what I've read. I'd shop around a bit more, engine.

I also found this link off the bigbytes forum (thanks Technics):
