1PlanHost.com Provides Assistance for Hurricane Katrina Victims
1PlanHost is Always Down and they NEVER respond to HELP TICKET requests until AFTER the site's owner has already paid someone else to resolve the issue for them! They are a lousy web host provider. They don't even acknowledge when there is an outage. Outages may last from a few minutes to a few weeks without a single word from 1PlanHost about anything. When your site is down, you can best believe that the 1planhost.com website is also down and they don't even know it! Posted 9/20/2006

FOR IMMEADIATE RELEASE:
1PlanHost.com Provides Assistance for Hurricane Katrina Victims
Morristown, Tennessee (September 1, 2005) – 1PlanHost.com WebWeavers Internet Services, a leading provider of Windows web hosting services announced today that it has waived all hosting fees for it’s customers affected by the Katrina hurricane in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama for one full year and is donating 10% of all new account sales and existing renewals during the month of September.
In response to the tragic aftermath of the hurricane Darrell Williams, CEO states “It would be unrealistic to expect our customers in New Orleans and those coastal areas which were hit hard by Katrina to have to worry about their web site hosting accounts expiring while they are struggling with where they are going to obtain the basic necessities of living. Many of our customers who live in these areas will be without electricity and clean water for some time so life will be difficult to say the least. Some have totally lost their homes or have severe damage to the contents of their homes and/or businesses. Others have no business to go back to and/or have lost their jobs.
In addition to waving the hosting fees of our customers in these areas, we will also donate 10% of all new web hosting account sales and renewals during the month of September 2005. We will evaluate the response and need at the end of September to determine if this donation program should be extended. I suspect the need will be great for several months and the rebuilding will take years. We will also be involved in facilitating teams of people in our local area to physically go to these states and provide hands on assistance through Christian disaster relief ministries. Tennesseans are well known for volunteerism and have risen to the call for help many times since our most famous resident Davy Crockett lead a band of volunteers to the Alamo. While this is not the Alamo, the disaster calls yet again for volunteerism to help others out in need. Our hearts and prayers go out to all people affected that they will be able to rebuild as quickly as possible with the help of the American people.
We are also encouraging our colleagues and friends in the hosting industry to consider offering their customers in these hard hit areas free service or assistance while they rebuild. While the industry unfortunately has received some negative perceptions for customer service, we find that most reputable hosting companies truly are customer centric and are willing to help out when a severe need arises. For example many hosting companies in addition to 1PlanHost.com have waived fees for customers serving in the US military deployed in Iraq, the Tsunami disaster and other tragic human events. Businesses need to do more than just say that they are customer driven and focused in order to sound good, there is a time to act and now is the time for us to assist these people in need.”
