It will only cause you pain.
To give a brief description of the problems I had:
- Apache is horribly slow. To the point that some RSS readers were having problems subscribing to my blog.
- Apache setup is weird, and causes all sorts of problems.
- FTP access is mind-boggling slow, only allows one connection at a time, and at one point, wouldn’t let me download directories.
- MySQL is sickeningly slow.
- More expensive than better hosts.
- Really bad web interface for site management.
Now, I’m happily away from them. Never again.

And there you have it, folks:
‘Renowned MySql developer says on his blog: “MySQL is sickeningly slow.” ‘

Damn, tricked by my own complaining.
Hah, that’ll teach me for thinking the worst is over.
GoDaddy deleted all my DNS records when I cancelled my hosting account.
Is… is… is that bad?
What’s a DNS? Is it like DNA for a computer or something?
😛
Anyway, sucks to be you. Not that you need it anyway. There’s plenty of ways to hijack DNS requests with a redirect to pento.net. You could knock it up in your sleep, and redirect everyone accessing oracle.com here… 😀
I am in the middle of sloooowdaddy hell at the moment. I understand what you are saying. I have been trying to get a lousy SSL certificate installed for a week. every time I ring there is a new excuse. It’s getting to the point where I am continually whining on twitter. I hope tomorrow it will be fixed. We have a delayed marketing campaign which is costing us sales revenue.
