My cousin got hosted from them for about a week, they have a very strict user policy, bad technical support, and are down every now and then. Not to mention you should NEVER EVER trust a host with an unlimited plan! I would say go with DonHost lol
I was joking about the DonHost thing, I just don't see why more people don't go to Myacen!
That is weird, How can they offer resseller plans if they are a reseller? Isn't that some kind of fraud? Since they don't own the servers. I would just say STAY AWAY!

What they do is advertise Donhost's reseller plans with a nice markup and when they get an order, they just order it from Donhost and pass it on. Acting as an intermediary the reseller can hide Donhost's involvement from their reseller. Of course an IP check would soon uncover all this but alot of people aren't that vigilant.
Not sure it's fraud, though. It's still reselling, I guess.

That explains it then.
Fasthosts are ok ... speed wise ... if your in the UK ....
Even though BT do have good peirings .. and what ever ..
Telewest doesn't ... so when BT is down ... your pretty much screwed ........
- Fasthosts offers "un-capped" data-transfer for each and every domain .... however its subject to a "high resources policy" ... which means basically .. once your site starts to cause problems .. on the server .. or use alot of bandwidth / data-transfer .. then we'll make the "higj resource policy" active ... and implement it .... thusforth ... if you host alot of domains .. and use alot of data-transfer ... fasthosts aint for you ... same for the resold accounts
Absolutely everyone seems to have bad experiences with Hostonce. I e-mailed them and still haven't had a reply a month later.
But tell me - surely this re-selling IS, if not fraud, at the very least a form of deception. None of these re-sellers tell you they are reselling, and you cannot possibly get as good a service from someone who is re-selling as if you went with a host who owns his own servers.
All retail businesses are reselling somebody else's product, but they don't claim they made it themselves. Why are resellers allowed to trade as though they own their own hosting equipment? I would not be happy if I found out my host was only a reseller.
How could I check this out?

That's a fair point, and if the re-seller is good everybody is happy. If my host did turn out to be a re-seller it would not put me off because the service they have given me has been excellent. But I still feel that in principle re-sellers should be open about the fact so that their customers know.
We would all be happy at Myacen, RELIABLE, INEXPENSIVE, FAST, AND COMPATIBLE...what more do you need to know, they have got to be one of the best.
