Is Serverfly legit?

Folks:

I set up a few domains with serverfly, along with Pop email, etc. These
were very simple sites, a few static pages, etc.

After a few weeks, the site went down. Now all I see is the "PHP"
version page in place of my home page, I can no longer log into their
"control panel", and my email bounces.

Their tech support doesn't seem to have a clue. They told me that my
"domains are pointing to the wrong server" Note that they handled
everything from registering the domain, DNS, setting up initial
placeholder site.

Is this company real? Or did I get duped by some amateur operation with
a slick facade? I don't see many people talking about them on usenet,
etc.

I had kind of the same problem. I registered some domains with
Registerfly.com and used their offer of free web space at Serverfly. But
like yourself I had to continually call them due to dns problems to get my
sites to show up. I eventually gave up and changed to another server. I'm
surprised to hear they still haven't got their act together. My experiences
with them were about 3 years ago!

Hi there,

I was a serverfly customer for about a year... right up until earlier
this week. All of a sudden my site was magically replaced with a page
that said "this account has been suspended". We immediately contacted
customer support and they replied with a vague explanation... honestly,
all they told us was that our site was responsible for two server
crashes and we'd been suspended for "abusing mySQL".

I pointed out to the customer service rep that (a) we hadn't done any
development in months and (b) we were only using scripts and tools that
serverfly includes with all hosting packages. This didn't faze them,
they said we could either pay an extra $20/month because of the
"problems we were causing" or we could find another provider.

Suffice to say we chose the latter.

So longer story short, Serverfly sucks!

Cheers,
Matt
