Hi Folks
I am having a great deal of trouble with FastHost. I am using their dedicated server offering. The server crashed today. It has taken them more than 18 hrs and at least 20 calls from me for them to decide that there may be a problem with the hardware.
Do you have the name or number of a person managing the company that I could call.

to cancel webhosting with fasthosts you have to phone fasthosts that will cost you and they send you a paper to cancel (if they send it) you fill it in and pay for a stamp and they get it (If they get it) they will put a cancellation date on it and yes they may cancel after taking 1more year out of your account first, its in there terms to put a cancellation date on your hosting. If you are in the UK and you cancel and they send bailiffs out tell them its under dispute and to provide you with the original contract and receipt (They wont be able to do this) as fasthosts can not provide this as they want you to take something that you don’t want to buy. And don’t talk to bailiffs to all in writing (you wont hear from then much longer).

I too have had a little more than should have been taken from my bank account with fast hosts but not as much as the figure mentioned. still, £160 is alot.

Also, call our premium rate phone line to cancel us taking money. joke.

I was a FastHosts for months, until I realized they were
taking a lot of extra money out of my bank account for no reason!!

They threatened and blackmailed me, threatening to cancel my Hosting if I reported the theft and made a big deal out of it. ((

So far, FASTHOSTS have taken an extra £1600 out of my bank account for no reason!!

Just use Heart Internet. Rock solid hosting and a great interface for resellers. Completely invisible to end-users – even the control panel can be branded. We have had one issue in 3 years resulting in about 45 minutes down time – and Heart told ME about the proble, not the other way around!

Yeah having learnt that Fasthosts own 1and1 I’m a bit confused. HOWEVER, just because they own fasthosts, they still have different management im sure, and 1and1 had a far better service / uptime. I use 1and1, and they are great for me. When I have dealt with fasthosts I had numerous issues, one time there was a site which had intermittent down time. I even sent them a JING video of it happening, and they still wouldn’t move it to another server. That client ended up leaving them and going with another provider. Same company, yes, different standards for sure.
