Are the 1planhost and webhostplus one and the same company?

[ccline]

OK, so this is pretty scary. Been with 1planhost for several years and have had no major problems. The few times I needed support they helped out pretty quickly. Then everything just goes dead without any warning.

How do I switch hosting of my domain to a new hosting company, since I registered through 1planhost?

Please post here if anyone hears anything else. Thanks.

I concurr...I've had 1planhost for 2 years without any major problems until their April upgrade. The last 2 days, none of my websites are up; and I also noticed that 1planhost.com is also down.

I didn't receive any email notices from them that their sites will be down; so if anyone have any info regarding this, please let me know

thanks

"Are the 1planhost and webhostplus one and the same company?"
Webhostplus bought 1planout so I would asume you need to contact webhostplus
If you google webhostplus review you will here many horror stories of people
who had perfectly good host only to have terrible service when bought by
webhostplus

Some interesting discusion on another forum.
http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=505737

[dpshost]

Is anyone seeking legal actions against 1planhost / webhostplus?

It's one thing to have bad service...it's another to have no service, no warnings, no nadda while keeping our money

If anyone knows, please share

Does anyone out there have any information regarding the current 1planhost.com outage as of September 20, 2006. My site and my client's site has been down since Monday, as well as 1planhost.com has been down and email not working with no explanation. They are as usual not answering their phone lines, as if they totally disappeared.

My clients are losing business - Is there any way to release our domain names from this company, WebWeavers which is also non responsive.

They were so great for years and now their service is just simply terrible. The previous owner should be ashamed of himself for selling to such a shafty new host provider.

If anyone has more info please Reach me at NiceMassage@gmail.com

Thank you!
Todd

This sounds like another poorly planned acquisition/migration. We have done several server migrations (one time even from one control panel to another) and I know from experience that if you plan well, there will be no downtime whatsoever.

[ASP-Hosting.ca]

I was wondering what plans did 1planhost offer before the acquisition? I might be able to help some of the unhappy customers, if you give me more details.

[onsitepc]

OK, hang on to your chairs here's a link to the bombshell.
Keep in mind there is no way to confirm all of this its just people
talking on a forum like this one but it seems there is inside information here.

It would seem ther are numerous law suits pending.
1planhost offered %100 up time garantee. will have to look up details.

Good luck to all.

[dpshost]

Thanks for this update...I guess I am going to have to move my 3 websites now...I was hoping to avoid this

...those of us who paid for the whole year will just have to eat our losses and move on; I suppose...

[ccline]

My site seems to back up & running now, FWIW. I'm still getting away from this claptrap company so fast you'll see little cartoon dust clouds.

Step 1: Get my domain over to Register or GoDaddy.
Step 2: Find a new company.

At least Step 1 should be possible now that I can access my Control Panel.

Thanks for the help guys, and good luck!

Cline
