It was a personal website so I would basically have a few unknown emails for a few family and friends.
It was down a lot. Tech support is pretty worthless since they don't ever fix anything the 2 months I had them and hold times were ridiculous. No refunds. Cancellation was even a pain. Well, they have 10 months to cancel it; I did everything. Their $1 a month email is kinda humorous. I also don't care for Microsoft servers either.
FTP was a pain to set-up.
Email ended up, when working, with about 95% spam.
10 gigs transfer and 50mb storage is ridiculous for $9.99 a month. I was over every month ending up paying double or triple.
Ping test was very high...like 100ms round trip. Google is in the teens.
Switched to Network Solutions. Domain was registered with them anyway. They have 24x7 phone support, it works, FTP is easy (share files), and email has good spam filters. It is about $19.99 a month but you get what you pay for including 100 gigs transfer a month and 50 gigs storage. Not sure but we download/upload a lot. I bought several more domains years ago and they redirect them to this site for free. Nice.
If you own domains, go with the best not the "cheapos."
