Control pannel is joke, PHP another joke, hosting doesn't run index.php as default page. SSI - none. MySQL - if anyone found it let me know.

I have totally had it with Network Solutions! I run a small car enthusiast club in the midwest and a local forum with about 140 members. About 3 months ago, my site was shutdown by NetSol without so much as a warning. After about 5 calls, they finally told me that they had shut my site down because one of our members sent out 45,000 emails in one day.

Of course this never happened. Obviously we were infected by some type of virus or worm that did that. It was a malicious code that was injected into our system some how, but NetSol just said, you need to fix the problem. None of us are real computer code experts, but we assumed that the problem was just an error.

After 4 days(evidently when you call them, they have a standard procedure that says they must contact you within 1 to 3 days!) They did just that, and after they tell you what the problem is, you have to wait another 1 to 3 days.

You cant talk to a person, you have to let the tech support person "escalate" the case. Which basically means NOTHING. I ended up calling them three times a day, and all the same thing. Our customer support team will call you when we know something.

So instead of being down for a few hours our site was down for 4 days. No apology or nothing.

That was three months ago... this WHOLE THING, just happened again on Monday, we actually DID find the bad code this time, we deleted it, told NETSOL, and do you think they would check it out in a few hours, NOOOO... 3 more days!

So for those looking for a web host... STAY AWAY FROM NETWORK SOLUTIONS!

I waned to officially jump on this bandwagon and state that NetworkSolutions for web/email hosting has got to be the worst host I have come across in over 10 years of working with the internet.

I just recently switched to NetSol due to problems at my current host, after they were bought out
by a larger company, and ended up with the new owner's traffic related problems.

In thinking that switching to NetSol would make things better/faster/more reliable, I went over to NetSol and prepared to "switch" my services to NetSol after the end of business day Friday (yes Yesterday).

For those of you who know "how things work" you know your biggest problem, after changing hosts is DNS Propagation, right?

Well guess what, NetSol was already managing my DNS so that part at least internally to NetSol and the major DNS servers, should have been "easy" and guess what, it was!

What's the problem?

Although I have the "internal" address to my site/server WITHIN the netsol network, and every DNS server I check on has the new IP's/HOSTS WITHIN NetSol, NetworkSolutions is NOT able to get the site accessible within their own network, with their own DNS servers?!?!?!??!

Does that make any sense?

I have had my share of hosts in over 10 years, for myself as well as my clients. It makes no sense that a site, internal to ANY host has all of the DNS servers pointing to it, and can't have the site/email available?!?!??!

After calling NetSol several times, during the switch over process (and of course, only speaking with the overseas call center in India) and all I could get was "It will take 24-48 hours for the site/services to be available".

I even ran them through the paces,
(1) The internal site is running
(2) NetSol DNS servers are pointing to NetSol hosting services
(3) Most public DNS servers are pointing to NetSol hosting
(4) The site would be working at any other host

THEY AGREED! Can you imagine?????

Anyhow... what I plan to do now is wait the switch over, switch to their Advanced DNS Services, which will then make additional changes in DNS records/hosting much quicker, get another host, and switch away from NetSol in the next week or two...

Sheesh, you think you go with the "best" and you get the "worst".

Also.... Their "hosting control panel" has got to be the biggest joke I have ever seen, let me know if you want to know about that.
