Something to Consider

[-GH0ST-]

Greetings all. As a member I feel I should point something out to the other members here.

I've used x10's services in the past and I must say, that for a "free" hosting service, x10 is arguably one of if not the best out there on the market today. Okay, great, but what about when the servers go down? The short answer is, it's free people. FREE!

Where does anyone get the idea they can complain about free? I don't get it. Call me old fashioned but never look a gift horse in the mouth? Everyone's happy until there's an issue and then oh boy, let's piss and moan about a free service, it makes no sense. That's kinda like walking down the road, looking down to find a dime and then complaining because it wasn't a quarter. You're still going to pick it up, so quit complaining already.

Instead of complaining, perhaps you guys should be like, "hey, x10 is awesome because they give us free hosting!" It would be totally different if they spammed you, treated you like a number instead of a person or how about just ignored you time and time again. Then maybe yea, I'd be pissed, but in the end, it's a free service, grow up people and be thankful for what you have. Keep in mind they ask only one thing and that is to log into your forum account once every 31 days, that's it. You're not even required to bloody well post! Check it out. The part you should be interested in is under section 7, Inactivity. So you see, they're not asking you to fill out polls, give up your first born or even sign up with some other service. Nope, nada, ain't gonna happen. Kinda nice huh?

For fear of sounding pious, I'll simply say this; Thanks x10hosting for providing a truly quality product for (pause for effect) free! We do appreciate it, or at least I do, keep up the hard work.

Sure I appreciate this being a free host and that they work on it and don't make us fill out polls or anything. But I also think that they don't really try to fix the problem right away. The posts I've been seeing are "Upgrade to premium". Nothing like "It will be back up soon". I love x10hosting... When it works.

"We don't really try to fix the problem right away?"

Where do you get your information?

We work tirelessly to fix issues. I've known Corey and Bryon to not sleep for days while doing major conversions, etc.

Saying we don't do anything to fix it right away is bull.

[LibertyScape]

First of all, I said I don't think you do. How hard can it be to fix one little issue?

[leafypiggy]

Again, where are you getting your information? We have no clue as to the size of this issue. It could be little, it could be much bigger.

Read the news and announcements for more information.

We're working with the Datacenter as we speak.

Ya know, I don't even work for them, much less know any of them but I have to say, your comment really irks me. I'm curious, have you never worked in the technology field? If you had, you'd understand that downtime is inevitable, you cannot escape it, par for the course really.

I've been in the tech field now since 98' and I can tell ya, it's no picnic and folks complaining about something that you work hard on never helps. Got a complaint? Great! Feel free to voice it, but you'd better have a suggestion and or fix to go along with it, otherwise it's just pissin' an moanin' and that's never helpful nor is it productive.

Don't think for a moment these guys an gals don't work their asses off on all aspects of their hosting service. I've been reading through the requests for help and I can tell you, these folks work to help us all.

It's also obvious what the concern was regarding the up-sell comment. Obviously you didn't read the entire post. The admin that was posting that was doing so because the OP's were complaining about downtime on a free server. Since their main complaints were regarding downtime, a quick fix is indeed to upgrade to premium. So that admin offered that option, noting more, nothing less. It too is par for the course and he/she was only being helpful. Try to understand, there's far more than just one angle to look at here.

Now you are the sort of person that I would happily spend all day giving support to.

And the good news is that you'll never have to with me ha. Thanks mate, I know what it's like to be on the "other side" you've got my support. We techs need to stick together
