End of a hosting era…thank goodness

When I first started working part time for my current company, they were using Siteground.  At the time, I thought Siteground was the worst host ever.  They went down a lot, and if you renew an SSL certificate they will apply your money to someone you’ve never heard of, then give you the runaround for days before finally giving you a refund.  They have no clue how to actually apply your money to your product.  It’s like the people who work there don’t even know they work there.  The company then switched to Mosso.   As bad as Siteground was, Mosso was worse, though they knew where to apply payments (hefty payments). Thankfully, I’ve now moved to a totally new host and will never have to worry about Mosso again.

I did not choose Mosso.   I tried to work with it but they’re just bad.  Bad with downtime, bad control panel, bad clusters.  Every week php “degraded” or ssl “degraded” or it went down for no reason at all.  It was terrible.  Getting into a support chat would just lead them to tell me, for the thousandth time, that something was degraded…again.  But now after a weekend of moving, Mosso is now gone.

I’m ridiculously happy about that.

We’re now on a green webhost whose servers are powered off wind energy.  The site loads a LOT faster, the control panel is easier to use and overall the whole experience has been pretty nifty.  Ever so much happier.  Goodbye Mosso!
