Servers not reliable and support takes many hours, and not communicating well
I have had a few years of experience with their ASP.NET windows shared hosting now. A few times a year they will do something to your server and your website will go down. Then you create a ticket requesting support. 2 days ago I had to wait for 12 hours for them to fix the problem. During those 12 hours there were 4 different support people "looking into it", all the while not communicating what the problem is or how far they are with fixing the problem. After 12 hours they wrote they fixed it, again no explanation whatsoever about how they broke the server in the first place. By the way, from the error I was getting it looked just like they revoked the full trust access by accident, which I told them, and should have been an extremely easy thing to fix. This happens a couple of times a year unfortunately. The incident a few days ago was the last straw. I was actually able to migrate to a new web host (winhost.com) faster than Accuwebhosting was able to get their server running again. Just terrible. Note that the default memory allocated the the application pool is 256 MB, this is not enough for a basic web site running on 1 ms sql database. It will regularly crash with this amount of memory. You will have to pay extra to upgrade to 512 MB.
