More trouble than they are worth (even if free) They make everything difficult & time consuming
(a mix between, over complicated systems, not thinking as user and not caring whether they keep their customers.
Servers & databases are as weak as can be imagined and worst.
Add lots of sites too quickly and you will hate yourself for 2 decades, like us.
Never ever ever ever choose Fasthosts. Never. Even if they pay you.
They will ruin your sanity and your business, especially as a reseller/web design firm.
You cannot imagine how uncooperative they can be on the most simple things (with costly delays until they see the light). Or idiocy of changing things for the worst. (i.e. Rather than being able to simply allocate/change, the 'account owner' of a server, they think that giving access to a clients account to build their site is better. Even though said client, can withdraw your access, if they feel like not paying for your services! Gives client too much power not to pay)
