Comments on: Glow Host Sucks and it Blows? https://www.hostingsthatsuck.com/glowhost-sucks/ Searching for Web Hosts that Suck the Least Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:25:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jeff Darcy https://www.hostingsthatsuck.com/glowhost-sucks/comment-page-1/#comment-3455 Jeff Darcy Sat, 20 Mar 2010 03:09:18 +0000 https://www.hostingsthatsuck.com/?p=1197#comment-3455 I've been at GlowHost about a year and a half now. Frankly, I've gotten used to thinking of hosts as consumable (rather than durable) commodities. Many of GlowHost's predecessors were fine for a while, then they got bigger or changed management or whatever and the problems started so I moved . . . again and again. GlowHost is #8 for me, over a span of more than ten years, and so far so good. I know I'll jinx myself by saying this, but I've seen no signs so far of the rot that usually seems to occur just past a year or so. Just one data point among many, and not even a particularly important one (it's just a blog), but maybe someone will find it useful. I’ve been at GlowHost about a year and a half now.

If I were hosting a serious money making site - I'd consider finding a more dependable service provider, but for my fledgling blog I'm going to stick it out. They've been quick to respond in the past. The service is down right now, and it happens from time to time.

Thier technical support has been very quick to respond to any and all issues we encounter. There has been some instances however where service was completely down for several hours and sometimes more then 24 hours. It is rare. Currently as of right now, all glowhost.com services are DOWN, and you cannot get thru to them on the phone. I have been a glowhost customer for about 2 years.

Their services is perfect, for the price. Support is amazing. The only downside is the bandwidth speed. Hosters offering high volume/unlimited bandwidth/month has limited upload speeds to control this bandwidth. It is still perfect / more then enough for most personnal / commercial websites. It's currently down tho' (and every hosted also in the mean time.), apparently it's GNax.net fault, as it is probably the service provider (colocation) for glowhost.
