SwitchFusion Is A Lousy Host

Liquidblade was down for nearly more then 24 hours yesterday. All attempts to obtain customer support resulted in lousy 3 word replies from an admin who clearly knew as much about Linux as my pet hamster does about neuro-brain surgery.

All calls to their ‘direct’ hotline were totally ignored albeit nobody even picked up the ‘24×7′ phone.

Their website is full of lies. Their support is terrible and their staff clueless. These guys shouldnt even be running a newspaper stand, much less a hosting company.

Here is mandrake’s version of what happened.

So Liquidblade will be moving sometime this month to a new home.

this is assuming the phone is even in a populated area.

Maybe they switched the ringer to off just to let it ring silently. If a phone rings with the ringer switched off, does it make a sound?

if a tree falls in a forest, but there isnt anybody around to hear it, did it fall?

Hehe, same thing happened to me when I used a hosting service nearly 2 years back.

I figured I could write a book on it though.
