So it’s been a while since I posted. Latterly this has been due to problems over the renewal of my Spatho.com domain, which led to eight days of downtime for the site, the details of which I won’t go into here.
I do however want to say thankyou to my host Sniffhost, for being cooperative and quick to respond to my problems as always, helping me to fix an issue that was mostly out of its hands.
So I would add my endorsement of Sniffhost to that of Andy, who found himself in the same situation with his domain recently.
I now intend to get back into posting on here more regularly, and with my recent purchase of a digital SLR camera I hope to have something interesting to show you guys!
Don’t use Sniffhost. I made the mistake of moving from Dataflame to Sniffhost this May and they’ve been nothing but useless.
You get what you pay for as you say and Sniffhost are cheap because:
1) You get ZERO support.
2) Servers are not 99% reliable.
3) Control panel is not very nice and doesn’t have all the features you get on most other providers.
Getting anyone to reply to support requests is nigh on impossible. My website has been down for 7 days now this time and I can’t get anyone to reply to my emails to sales, support or through their notorious Support Ticket system.
After just 3 months with Sniffhost I will now be moving again, probably to an American provider as there doesn’t seem to be anyone in the UK that is any good who doesn’t charge a fortune.

Thanks for taking the time to post your comment here; I shall bear what you say in mind when I look to renew in the future. However, for the moment I tend to agree with what Andy said in response to your comment on his site: my website is just a bit of fun really and I’m happy with what I currently have from Sniffhost.
