Has anyone heard anything about saidhost.com regarding their entire operation being shut down?

I had three servers operating at their facility. Now? Completely dead. I understand that a company called level 3 communications completely disconnected them from the internet and they're not answering the phone and level 3 will not cooperate with any of the many people that have called them to find out what's going on.

Anybody?

Thanks,

This domain saidhost has been created this January. I really doubt that this brand new enterprise can be defined as reliable. Ask someone to help you to get your servers back online. My suggestion is to find a few other web hosts and to choose one of them.

Never heard of them, so cant comment directly, but their IP range doenst seem to be announced by anyone but L3 and you cant route to it

Have you tried contacting them through the details on their whois ?

And no, L3 will talk to their client (if saidhost was a direct L3 client) not to clients of the client - standard procedure.

Said's direct upstream seems to be TelCove - maybe contact them might help ?

a 1-2 month old hosting company. think they are not serious in business, test the water only.

ok, advice is to look for hosting company that is age more than 3 year minimum. Preferable 5 years and above. Highly recommended by forums users.

I think you didn't do any research before choosing your host.Never heard of this host till now and i guess you have been fooled by them as now-a-days these types of webhosts are just there to make a quick buck and vanish. Anyways try to get any information regarding them from possible sources and demand for a compensation as well if you get in touch with them.

Well I would suggest issuing a charge back for some of your money at least. Explain to your bank that you paid for a service and they did not provide it. Good luck, be sure to check out user reviews on various forums and sites before picking your next host.

SaidCom is now back online and doing business again as SaidHost at saidhost.com. It has taken them from Febuary to now to get back online and they still have only one fiberoptic backbone. I am not recommaneding their serverices as I will never use them again, but you can contact them concerning backups. They have promised backups for our clients.

Lets hope they are more reliable this time, for anyone that falls into them.

The eases way is to call them. Do you know their telephone number?

I may get to know about it on whois.

If they don't list the number on their web site, maybe because they do not want users calling them?

I have never heard about saidhost.com something bad. Try to ask thrP to tst theirspeed connection.

Huh? Your post is confusing, please clarify.

I think he wants to say that if there is no bad news it's good news.

It's been a while, but I figured I'd follow up to this.

First, thanks to all those who replied. I see these clowns are back up and running. Let me tell you what we had to do. My ex-partner had to drive from Cleveland to Perkasie Penn. with a USB drive in hand, physically show up at their location and download all the information to the drive. We then took it to a non-fly-by-night operation and restored everything. What a nightmare. Fortunately I only lost about 10 out of 70 or so clients, but boy did I have a lot of PO'd people on my hands.

A final word on Saidhost? If they came to me tomorrow, apologized and offered me hosting for life for free, I'd spit in their face.

The old hosting business folded, got rid of the partner, modernbill and all the crap, went back to basics and am once again profitable.

Thanks again everyone.
