Here is his EasyCGI Review:
I've been web designing for quite awhile now and been through a variety of webhosts, but never, ever, have I seen such a lack of caring or complete ineptitude that EasyCGI showed.
I was with them for quiet a few months, preparing the launch of my website. Mid October, I noticed how slow the website was... but since EasyCGI was announcing a server change, I stayed by them and hoped for the best. I launched my website November 1st.
Basically, since it's launch.. every few days, my website would go down.. I'd file a support ticket and magically it'd be fixed. This went on for the first few tries, until I figured out that the culprit was the MySQL database behind my website (using Joomla). What was happening was every few days my database was getting overwritten with someone else's data... and in turn, I could go and browse their entire database (yes with credit card tables, usernames, ability to change passwords, the whole nine). I pointed this out to EasyCGI, where they admitted this was what was going on... and did not seem to care too much that someone else's database was compromised.
This overwriting of my database went on so long... that even my backups (backed up 3 days) were backed up with the wrong database... leaving any regular backups I downloaded from them, useless. Finally, my only hope? That they could retrieve a decent back up, an older backup, from the older server before they began to overwrite mine. Their answer... they'd closed that server down and it was not possible.
Guys, they may be better now but I thought I'd share this anyway. There service was so much better before they upgraded their servers. Maybe by now it is much better, who knows.
Overall, my review is average at best. I'm sure they have improved by now or they'd be bankrupt.
