I’m sorry to hear that, after Raymond, they haven’t improved as the new owner promised me it would be better.

I’m glad I stuck to my move. Generally, the uptime (at my new place) is quite acceptable (it wasn’t with Koolserve) and, although they don’t respond directly to problems they do seem to fix them quite quickly. And, at least I’m not being told to ‘clear the cache’ and all that sort of nonsense!

And, you’re right. Any decent hosting company would warn you that you will be suspended – so you have the chance to fix things. But, then, if it’s being run by children, I guess it will never be a proper business *sigh*

Administrators publicly claim that they take the right to suspend accounts, paid or not, at their sole discretion without notice to clients, and then want to be begged in a forum to resume their contractual obligations. They would not send an advance email to their customers as they have schoolwork to do.

Well congratulations on your purchase of Koolserve.com.

OK Simon, I appreciate the offer. Let me mull it over for a couple of days (I have clients at work right now so don’t have the time to look at it properly) and I’ll get back to you one way or another.

Thanks for bothering to come here anyway.

Just to let you know that Koolserve.com is know under new management by Smarty-Boots.com as of this week and the issue’s are being sorted out know starting with a server upgrade and them removing old dead account and yes it will stay as a free hosting but we will be running it as if it was a paid hosting and yes you can upgrade to paid hosting.

So Andy I would like to take this time to offer you a free paid for VPS for your site and as the own now, I will be your direct support for your account so if you would like to take this up then please contact Me.

It would be the posts on Serge Bodulovic and Rachel North that cause the problem. In the second case, she just sent a letter to the hosting company and it was closed, so that’s when vandainmilan started. Serge has tried to close it several times and succeeded a couple of times (from what I remember). However, I wrote the truth or what was fair comment and they are part of my blog. I would rather keep them and go through this hassle from time to time.

I’m afraid it would be closed down very quickly by blogger, I think. At least, this way, I get to move it wherever I want (or, wherever I can find a home for it).

To be honest, the new hosting company seem very good. The blog has only been ‘unobtainable’ one time (and only for about 10 minutes) for me compared to at least once a day (and sometimes for hours or days) with Koolserve. So far, I am impressed.
