TextDrive
July 16th, 2006 by Duff OMelia
TextDrive is a web hosting provider which offers everything from shared hosting accounts to fully managed dedicated servers. I was quite excited about them because the language they used to describe their services seemed to indicate that they understood what developers needed in terms of web hosting. I liked them so much in fact that I purchased a lifetime account.
I’ve been quite disappointed with them however. I found their shared hosting account to be extremely unreliable. It seemed to go down for some time most days. Over and over again I’d see status messages like “The server became unresponsive and needed to be rebooted. It should be up again soon.” No explanation. No description of what might have gone wrong. Their webmin interface was incredibly slow. So slow in fact that I found it almost unusable.
This is why I’ve switched all of my important sites to OCS Solutions. I’ve been quite happy with OCS.
